Chapter 26! HERE YOU WILL SEE WHY I KILLED OFF AARON!
Rule 20: Never give up.
Normal POV
Timeskip of Sadness: 2 years after, on that very day.
The Forest outside of Konoha
It was a stormy and cloudy day; that day. The day he saved the world; The day he died. Anko was standing in the forest with his friends, Tsunade, Naruto, Sasuke, Rich, May, Arine, Hinata, Kakashi, and even Itachi, at a statue memorial made to honor him, which stood near the fissure, where at the end lay the Sword of Truths, still embedded in the hard and cold earth. The memorial was a statue of him holding the Sword of Truths, looking proud and mighty. Itachi had been accepted back as a shinobi of Konoha after the battle, in honor of his half brother. Many tears hit the ground plinking. On the day Itachi had been accepted back, many civilians cried out in outrage, saying, "That criminal shouldn't be accepted back because of him! He threatened us because of the Snake Whore!" Tsunade had then made a law. If anyone were to speak poorly of Aaron, they would be executed in front of the entire village. That made the villagers' mouths shut like bear traps. As they all stood there, they wondered why he had to sacrifice himself. Why? Why did he have to leave them all? After spending an hour at the memorial, they all went to their respective homes. Anko didn't leave her home much after it happened. She rarely talked to people. It was the same with Rich, May, and Arine. In fact, all of his friends had lost a lot of happiness in their lives.
Akatsuki
At the Akatsuki base, the Akatsuki were holding a memorial for him as well. Everyone was gathered around a scroll with a picture of Aaron. They all held their tongues, no one speaking a word throughout the entire time.
Forest
When everyone had been gone for an hour, a ball of energy lit up in the air. Suddenly, a black-haired man fell out of it, and landed on his back.
"Dammit, that hurts. 2 years in that place can give you such a crick in the neck." He said, cracking his neck. He got up and looked around at where he was.
"Well, perhaps it's time to pay my dear friends a visit." The man said.
Konoha
All the residents were going about their daily lives. Suddenly, the sky turned pitch black, and purple lightning began to flash all over the world.
Atop the Hokage Tower
The man looked up and saw the lightning and the black sky.
"Aw, fuck. He's here too?" He asked with a playful glint in his eye, brandishing the Sword of Truths.
Kiri
"What is this?" Mei asked, seeing the lightning.
Kumo
"WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING?" A shouted.
Iwa
"What's going on?" The Tsuchikage asked.
Suna
"Not again..." Gaara said.
Konoha
"No...it's not possible..." Tsunade, Anko, Rich, and May said in unison.
Akatsuki
"...It can't be..." Pein said. An evil voice bellowed out.
"YOU ALL THOUGHT I WAS GONE; THAT THE MIGHTY CRYPTUS HAD BEEN EASY TO DEFEAT! NOW, I AM MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER, AND I WILL CONSUME YOUR WORLD!"
"No..." The five Kage, Rich, May, Anko, Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, Arine, Pein, and the Akatsuki said together.
"AND TO START, I WILL DESTROY WHAT KEEPS THE DARKNESS AT BAY; THE SUN!" Cryptus announced. All over the world, you could see a giant black dragon fly into outer space. You could see it right by the sun, but it was bigger.
"NO!" All the previously mentioned people cried out. In a flash, the sun was eaten by the shadowy monster. Suddenly, all light escaped from the sky, and you could see the stars brighter than ever. The dragon flew back to the earth.
"NOW, LET THE CREATURES OF EVIL HIDING IN THE SHADOWS OF THE WORLD COME FORTH! GRANT ME YOUR POWER, AND TOGETHER, WE SHALL ENVELOP THIS WORLD IN AN AGE OF DARKNESS!" Almost immediately, black blobs began to fly towards the dragon, making it grow constantly bigger. As it reached probably the size of the planet, darkness began to cover town by town, making it impossible to see anything.
Konoha
Anko, Rich, May, Tsunade, Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi, Hinata, Itachi, and Arine ran to the middle of the city. There they could see darkness descending upon the village. Tsunade fell to her knees.
"The sun...the sun is gone..." She said in a spaced out voice.
"How can we stop it?" Anko asked.
"We can't. There's nothing we can do..." Tsunade said. A familiar voice rung out.
"PROTECT MY ALLIES, LIGHT OF THE HEAVENS!" The voice shouted. A massive clank was heard behind them. Then a dome of light surrounded the village. Everyone was surprised. They turned around to see a familiar sword plunged into the ground. They looked up to see who the voice belonged to. There, kneeling, was someone they thought they'd never see.
Rule 20: "Never give up."
The owner of the voice stood up on both legs, and grinned at them. They all stared in complete shock.
"It's you...You're a-alive?" Anko asked. The black-haired man's grin grew bigger.
"As alive as someone who just did pot." He said. They started breaking down into tears.
"How?" Anko asked. He smiled.
"That's a tale for another day. If we live that long, that is." Aaron told them.
BUM BUM BUM!
I TOLD YOU NOT TO HATE ON ME! I TOLD YOU I HAD LEGITIMATE REASON! YOU ALL OWE ME FIVE COOKIES EACH. NOW PAY UP, BITCHES! *accepts your cookies* Good. Now wait for the next chapter.
Until next time,
Ja Ne! *confetti pops out, and blocks me from view* HA! FUCK YOU, PETA! I'm not against them, but it gets annoying when I constantly hear people rallying outside my door at three in the morning, complaining about anything that looks relatively like fur. *turns to rallyers outside door* GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!
BYE!
