Hi everyone. This is SkyleafAlchemist19 with the news none of you want to hear. I've decided to cancel The Flash. I know, I'm a terrible person for abandoning the story when I promised I never would, but I can't write it anymore. I've lost interest in Naruto and this story, and even though I know what would happen next and have the whole plot planned out, I have no motivation to write it.
This "chapter" is going to be a summary of what would have happened for the rest of The Flash, just so you guys know what could have been and aren't left with a cliffhanger. I'm deeply sorry I couldn't finish this story for you, but at least I can tell you the events that would have occurred in the story's future.
NARUTONARUTONARUTO
Here's the summary:
The situation would get worse for Bloodline users. Danzo would pass a decree that all "Somaruchi" must be branded. It happens, and that's the final straw for many ninja and Clans. They begin to plan how to leave Konoha. Danzo finds out about their plans, but is unworried. He knows they won't be able to leave before it's too late.
Minato is sent to fight an Iwa Jinchuuriki and is severely wounded and captured. Tsunade and Orochimaru discover that Danzo made an agreement with the Tsuchikage to have Minato killed. However, the Jinchuuriki has an idea of what is going to happen and kept Minato alive as (hopefully) insurance.
The Leader finds out about the Jinchuuriki's betrayal and goes to deal with him. He kills the traitor and contains the Bijuu that was within him in a black sphere, claiming that it was a shame that the man was so foolish, because if he had not betrayed the Purgers, he would have lived. The Leader finds out Danzo kept Minato's real last name (Kazama) from him, and leaves without seeing a comatose Minato in the next room.
The Leader kills Danzo, and releases all of the Bijuu from their hosts with his power in order to Purge the Bloodlines from all the villages simultaneously. He sees the entirety of Konoha as tainted by the Somaruchi.
Hiashi and the other Main Hyuuga die during the attack, leaving Hizashi in charge of the remnants of the Clan. It turns out Hiashi purposely led the Branch members to a safe place below ground before going back out to fight, either intentionally or unintentionally destroying the Main Branch and their corruption.
Whilst in his healing-trance coma, Minato senses the attack on Konoha and attempts to teleport to his friends, while his body insists he needs to stay where he is and heal. He gets trapped between worlds, floating in darkness.
Obito is horrified by the destruction around him, and ends up ordering the Kyuubi to leave with the Mangekyo Sharingan he unlocked when he "killed" Rin in that Genjutsu. Konoha is destroyed, leaving the surviving Bloodline-haters, ninja, civilians, and Bloodline users without a home. The Bloodline haters knew that the destruction was going to happen, and are confused as to why their Leader did not tell them to evacuate first like they planned.
The Bloodline Haters that attempt to blame and kill the "Somaruchi" for what happened are killed themselves. Jiraiya runs into a confused, weakened, but alive Kushina and brings her to Tsunade, with the stunned kunoichi repeatedly asking how she is still alive after having Kyuubi extracted from her.
Months later, Minato appears in the destroyed Konoha. Because of his will to get to his friends and his body's desire to heal itself fighting each other, he got stuck between worlds, and completely lost his memory as a result. He slowly remembers his name, and meets a bridge builder, Tazuna.
Tazuna explains that the world has been taken over by the Purgers, who have been rounding up and killing all Bloodline users they can find, along with their protectors. Slavery has been legalized, the villages are gone, and the Daimyo have given in to the Purgers, with the countries uniting under a single, totalitarian rule. The Bijuu have also been 'cloned', with creatures known as Bioni wreaking havoc on the world. The Bioni are nowhere near as close in power as the Bijuu, but are still a threat. No one knows where the Bijuu themselves are.
Minato goes with Tazuna to his village, and meets the bridge builder's daughter and one of his friends. While Minato is changing out of his torn clothes, the friend walks in and sees Minato's Bloodline brand. The friend tries to convince Tazuna to tell the Purgers, saying they will get a hefty reward for handing in Minato. Tazuna kicks him out, and assures Minato he will be safe here.
Minato finds himself drawn to an abandoned village in Wave. He goes there and discovers that it was once his home when he was a child. He learns about his bloodline and powers. It turns out that it is rare for Kazamas to have healing powers (only one person has them at a time, if at all) and they only have healing powers if a great threat is coming, so their powers are seen as a bad omen and they are commonly killed to "prevent the bad thing from happening". That is why Minato's mother was so insistent about him never using his healing ability. Minato remembers he has these powers, and attempts to teleport, only to discover that he cannot access his yellow chakra, and thus cannot heal or Flash.
Minato returns to Tazuna, only to discover that the village has been burned to the ground by the Purgers, and everyone has been killed. Distraught and guilty, the still mostly-amnesiac Minato heads off on his own.
Meanwhile, Mikoto, Hizashi, and Kushina invade an Iwa base, demanding to know where Minato is. Finding nothing, they return to their new hidden village, which has been built underneath the ruins of Uzushiogakure. The village has survivors from every Hidden Village living together in harmony.
As they always do, Kakashi, Rin, and Obito run up to see if the three Jonin found their Sensei, only to receive a negative. The three beg Jiraiya (who is acting as leader/Hokage alongside representatives from each destroyed Village) for a mission. Jiraiya agrees, and the three young ninja are sent to investigate rumors of a slave ring. Kakashi is captured by the slavers.
Minato ends up wandering into the wrong place at the wrong time and is captured by the same slavers. The slavers use a device to scan people's chakra coils and see who is a Somaruchi. Minato, and elderly man, a young boy, and some others test positive, and are brought to a separate line. Minato sees that the boy has gotten free of his chains, and trips a guard to give the child time to escape. The slaver threatens him, but says the "tainted scum" will die soon enough. Kakashi sees his sensei as Minato is being dragged away, but is silenced before he can call out to him.
Minato and the other Bloodline users are put into a gladiator-like arena, where roaring crowds will watch them fight (and likely be killed by) Bioni. Minato does well at first, remembering how to use the Rasengan and another few abilities. Minato is almost killed by a five-tailed fox, but the elderly man jumps in the way to save him. His last words are that the Kazama are the only ones that can stop "him" (The Leader) and Minato must survive.
Minato sees more people die around him, and becomes determined to save them. His yellow chakra momentarily stabilizes and he saves a man. A head Purger in the crowd immediately screams for everyone to kill the Kazama. Minato evades the attacks on instinct but the rest of the captured Bloodline users do not. They are all slain. Minato is distraught, and open to attack, when the wooden arena starts to grow and change, ensnaring many of the Bioni and Purgers. It turns out the boy Minato helped was Tenzo.
Kakashi is about to be sold into slavery when he is saved by Tsunade. He immediately tells her that Minato is at the arena with the Bioni, and they go to rescue him. They arrive at the arena in time to see Minato grab Tenzo and Flash out of the way of the Purger's renewed attacks. They do not reappear anywhere near the arena, and Kakashi curses how close they were to Minato. Tsunade wonders why Minato hasn't Flashed straight to them using his seals, and realizes he must have amnesia from overusing his powers.
The Leader finds out about Minato, and his backstory is revealed. Long ago, a group of people discovered what is known as black chakra. It is the anti-chakra, or the evil chakra, representing death and emptiness instead of life. With enough black chakra, a person could teleport into another dimension they simply called "Abyss". Black chakra can also cancel out any justsu. The group thought they could use the chakra to take over the world, nullifying many jutsu and bringing countries to their knees with its power. However, they could not neutralize Bloodline Limits.
Eventually the Bloodline users won the war with the help of the Kazama, who were the only ones that could teleport to the Abyss like the Anti-chakra users and kill them while they were there. The Kazama's ability to sense the black chakra users meant that they could not hide from them, and most of the warmongers were wiped out. A small group survived, and put all of their power into a single person.
Whenever more black chakra users appeared, they too would put their power in a single person, passing down the power into a new child and making each one stronger than the last. Leading up to the Leader, who was the strongest so far. Strong enough, that he believed he could finally destroy the threatening Bloodline users that had defeated his predecessors, and take over the world at last.
Minato and Tenzo reappear in Mist. Tenzo explains that he does not really remember where he came from, only remembering an Iwa lab and being experimented on. During the Bijuu attacks, he escaped his captors with his Wood Release. Minato and Tenzo eventually run into Zabuza and Hikaru, who have been partaking in guerilla warfare against the Purgers in Mist. Minato and Tenzo help the two out of a sticky situation, and free a group of Bloodline users from the Purgers. Zabuza and Hikaru tell Minato a bit about himself and his team, and Minato realizes that he used to be a ninja of Konoha. Hikaru shows him an ice sculpture in the shape of the Leaf's symbol and Minato's memory returns in a rush, knocking him out.
The Hidden Village is discovered by the Purgers, and the Leader leads the attack himself. Minato awakens with his memory fully restored, and eagerly Flashes himself and his companions to his friends, only to find them in the middle of an attack. The newcomers join the battle. Eventually, Minato faces off against the Leader. They teleport between the real world and the Abyss, with Minato growing weaker each time he enters the dark world. After a fierce battle, Minato uses his yellow chakra to destroy the Leader's black chakra, and kills him instantly.
The world and Hidden Villages are rebuilt, but things are less tense then before because many of the villagers had been living together in the underground village for months. Minato refuses to become the new Hokage, and Jiraiya or Tsunade take the spot. Hizashi marries Hitomi, and Minato marries Kushina. Jiraiya asks Tsunade out and she punches him into the sky. Tenzo is reunited with Anko and his team.
Years later, Minato and Kushina have Naruto, Hizashi has Neji, Hinata, and Hanabi, and Mikoto has Itachi and Sasuke. Naruto has the Flash bloodline, but not the healing abilities. Minato watches proudly as his son becomes a part of Team Seven under Kakashi, with Sasuke and Hinata as his teammates, recreating the Namikaze-Uchiha-Hyuuga team. The village looks forward to a peaceful future.
NARUTONARUTONARUTO
I'm going off of memory for all of this, so I might have forgotten a few things, but that is generally what the story would have been. I just can't find the motivation to write it. I hope you enjoyed my little summary anyway, and again, I apologize for not finishing this story, and disappointing you with a summary and cancellation instead of a new chapter. I appreciate all the support and love you have given for this story, but this is the end of The Flash.
Thank you.
