Captain Blues: Hello! Naruto Fandom. It is I. I'm not sure where to begin. Essentially, I've lost my passion for Naruto. I haven't had any passion for it since Rain, the person who made a lot of the fics on this account passed away in August of last year. I've tried to force it, even tried to make a certain thing that FF will not let me type on this damn site, to try and maybe drum up the will to write for the Fandom again. But it didn't work.

It's funny though. I can work on his Power Rangers and his Persona Five fanfic somewhat fine, but his Rizzoli and Isles, Naruto, and even his Twilight fanfics I can't. I think it's due to R&I, Naruto, and Twilight being what Rain and I bonded over the most when we were growing up.

I just miss him. He was basically the Minato to my Kakashi. He gave me the passion to start writing myself. Heck, both me and my sister write because of him.

I was able to be comfortable in my own skin thanks to him and realize that I am genderfluid. This is partially the reason why I wrote Blue-Eyed Avarice the way I did.

Having someone like that, someone who I admired and looked up to, being gone, has left me disillusioned with everything that I've done.

I just didn't want everyone to question why I haven't updated in so long. I appreciate everyone still reading and reviewing these fics. I will return to them. I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop of everything. Rain wouldn't want me to stop because he's no longer around. I will be coming back to Naruto, I don't know when, but I will. I promise.

I feel awful in making this sad update, and I don't mean to rant. But when I come back, it'll be an actual update this time.
