For some reason, Flashy Flash either could not or chose not to kill the leader of the village, possibly because his location was hidden from Flashy Flash or that the hero thought he would be too powerful to kill, even while in a coma. With his fighting abilities becoming formidable enough, Flashy Flash went on a rampage to fulfill the dream he and Sonic agreed upon, killing the instructors, staff, fellow members of his class, and basically everyone who was a part of the evil village. Unbeknownst to the village, however, was that Flashy Flash had secretly begun to execute his plan of overthrowing the village administration. Several years passed, and by the time Flashy Flash was 16, he'd long chosen to stop hiding his abilities and was ranked number one. Although Blast didn't kill him, the leader was put in a coma, and the ninja village placed him in a regeneration chamber to speed up his healing. Sometime during this period, the leader of the ninja village challenged Blast and was defeated. During a mission to dispatch a group of genetically-enhanced beasts as part of their training, Sonic expressed his desire to topple the corrupt administration of the Ninja Village in order to replace it with a more benevolent one and asked Flash to help him in which Flash gladly accepted. Sometime during his training, he ran across Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, and the two bonded due to both of them being in Class 5. Eventually, he decided to purposefully perform badly in order to receive the harshest training in Class 5. Throughout his childhood, Flashy Flash was consistently pushed to his limits and kept alive through specially formulated medicines. The Ninja Village was in rivalry with the Abandoned Masses but often tried to avoid them due to how dangerous the Masses were.Ībout 20 years ago, Flashy Flash was sold by his parents at the age of 5 to the Ninja Village. From this point on, several ninjas were trained in separate graduating classes and were sent to factories in the underworld to be used as assassins and killing machines. Sometime in the past, the ninja village was founded by the man regarded as the most powerful ninja to ever walk the earth. The 44th class was rumored to have been failed products because of mistakes made during the training process according to Gale Wind, a fact further enforced by Sonic. Flashy Flash is responsible for the deaths of the 44th Graduation Class and the rest of the entire village, known as The End, and all the ninjas of previous graduating classes regard him as a criminal. Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind are the graduates of the 37th class, Golden, and were among the top of that class, while Sonic and Flashy Flash are the sole survivors of the 44th class, with Flash being the No. Class One was reserved for the most powerful ninjas, and people in this class received the most lenient training, while ninjas in Class Five, the class for the weakest ones, receive the harshest training to boost up their strength. The ninjas were separated into five classes of training based on their skills. The training regimen was extremely arduous. Despite this, many of the ninjas resent Flashy Flash for destroying the village, showing that they still respect it. Flashy Flash described it as a hellish environment. Instructors went so far as to say that if they ever crossed paths in the future after graduating, it was kill or be killed. Additionally, companionship and a sense of brotherhood among the classes was not allowed even talking to others was prohibited. Any kind of emotions were not allowed to be expressed, and those who shed their emotions gained excellent ratings. The food was tasteless, and any information from the outside world was completely cut off. A day in the ninja village was 72 hours, with only 6 for sleep. Escape from the village is virtually impossible, and ninjas may only leave when they complete the curriculum and obtain permission to graduate. They were then sold off to factories of the underworld. Children under the age of seven were sent there to train for 10 years, doing nothing but sharpening their assassination skills under extremely ruthless conditions.

The ninja village was a horrible and utterly despicable place.
