Ok, I'm going to be honest with you guys, I can't work on Different Path anymore. Honestly, when I first started writing Different Path, it was because I had been inspired by some really good Naruto fanfictions I had written, which included The Bearded Guy, who I adopted the plot bunny from. But, when I had to stop over a year ago, it was because I had noticed major issues in the story, I had forgotten to add stuff that was very important to the story, for some omakes I wasn't quite clear enough that they weren't canon, and a few other things.

So to make it easier to remaster the story, i decided to reread Naruto, and it of course got my inspiration going. But then I made the mistake of trying to read Boruto. Honestly that mistake was the whole reason it took so long to actually try and remaster Different Path. As a stand alone story, Boruto is fine, hell if it wasn't a continuation of Naruto, i would probably be able to read and enjoy the story. But the problem was it is a continuation of Naruto, and because of that, well to put it nicely it quickly killed my motivation. The biggest hit, was Kurama's death. I personally loved Kurama as a character, and to see him just get killed off like that, it made me sick.

Honestly, I had to force myself to remaster the first two chapters and I've spent the last day looking at chapter three, trying to edit it and fix it up to post and I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm sorry to everyone who was enjoying this story, maybe I'll pick it up again in the future, or maybe someone will decide they want to adopt it. But for now, I'm sorry to say that it will be put in storage until my motivation for the world of Naruto can come back.

I won't give up writing, but I just can't bring myself to continue in the Naruto sandbox right now. I think next time, I'll do a story that doesn't follow as closely to canon, so it won't be as big an issue if I come to dislike the source material. Anyway guys, I hope to see you all again soon.
