Author's Note

Hey everyone. Scorpion's Demise is my first story on fanfiction-net, hope you'll enjoy it :)

It is a continuation of nobody102's great work - Scorpion's Disciple, which is a rational fanfic on Naruto. If you're not familiar with it, go read it, it's awesome.

If you are, this fanfic takes place a couple or so years after the events depicted in Disciple.

All of the original plot is considered canon, with the exception of the last battle with Akatsuki, as depicted in the final summary chapter of Disciple (since it does not exactly fit well with my plans and style).

A note concerning genre: this is generally what I like to call "clever literature" as opposed to true "rational literature". I don't promise before hand that all conundrums would be completely solvable by the reader, but the piece will deal heavily with rationality, mental strategy and similar themes.

Enjoy.
