Peace. In a time where the world is evolving at a rapid rate, the village hidden in the leaves is currently enjoying a period of peace, albeit a brief one. Ever since the defeat of Proto at the hands of the SRS Power Rangers, the Hidden Leaf and other neighboring villages have been dismantling the last of the Shinsei Toukai clan and with Orochimaru and Kabuto in hiding, the Hidden Leaf has been able to successfully rebuild their village, becoming stronger than ever after the attempted Konoha Massacre. Unfortunately for our fine shinobi, this period of peace and stability would be put to the test much sooner than anyone had anticipated. Thanks to their final victory over the Shinsei Toukai, the Rangers garnered the attention of the fabled Akatsuki.
The Akatsuki is a criminal organization of S-Class Criminals and Missing-nin and is the most wanted group in all of the world, rivaling that of the DRAGO Organization. Their main goal is to collect all of the Tailed Beasts for their plan of world domination. The Akatsuki have taken notice of the exploits of the Rangers and initially, they chose to ignore the young upstarts but thanks to their stopping the Konoha Massacre on their own, the criminal organization has now been forced to give their attention to this group and neutralize this new group of heroes before they become a true threat to their sinister plans. When the power of of the Nexus Prism proves to be useless against the Akatsuki, it is up to the Rangers to obtain new powers and weapons to combat this massive threat before Konoha is plunged into eternal darkness.

Two years. Two years is how long it has been since the defeat of Proto, leader of the Shinsei Toukai Clan at the hands of the SRS Power Rangers, shinobi wielding the power of the Nexus Prism. After the defeat of Proto, the Rangers have spent the last two years rounding up the remaining members of the STC who have scattered across the land of fire with some even attempting to flee Japan all together with no success. Thanks to the Rangers, the number of remaining STC members are shrinking rapidly with the two major targets still in the wind in Kabuto and Orochimaru. For the Rangers, they have also experienced some changes as well with Kane, the SRS Gold Ranger leaving this world to be with his love in a future timeline after they joined forces with the Aura Striker Rangers in America to combat a massive threat. In this two years, all of the Rangers have gotten stronger and have enjoyed some level of celebrity through the land of fire due to their exploits even though most of the team save for Uryuu have yet to be moved to Jonin or even Anbu.
"Another one bites the dust!" Aaron Kane, the SRS Red Ranger, leader of the team and visitor from another timeline finished up with a group of low level STC grunts that surfaced in the forest. Not wanting to bother the others for something simple and wanting to get in a light workout, he quickly dispatched the grunts before taking them back to the village. As he passed through the village gates, he noticed Naruto and Jiraiya who had recently returned from their own training that was taking place during the two year stretch.
"Hmmmm.. he's certainly gotten taller and I can feel that he's gotten stronger. I may have to check up on that later." Aaron said to himself as he continued walking, escorting the grunts to prison. At this rate, he would have to act on that mental note sooner rather than later. As promised after Proto's defeat, Aaron committed to cleaning up the straggling villains before heading back to his world. With the team getting close to tracking down Orochimaru and Kabuto, Aaron could feel his home within his grasp. Granted, everyone has treated him extremely well but at the end of the day, he had his own home with his own set of friends and comrades to get back to. Once thought to be a pipe dream, getting back was now very much a reality thanks to the Transportal Device Mayumi acquired during her time in the other world.

"Well, at least everything works out for us." Uryuu said fondly, dragging the grunts back to the village after the daily patrol. Following the defeat of Proto, the Jounin became more diligent than ever, making sure the remaining members of the Shinsei Toukan Clan were take care of. While he felt happy on the outside, he did feel sad. All he wanted was for him and his friends hanging out forever, but life had a way of throwing a curveball. Between Kane's departure and Aaron's plan to leave soon, he's trying to make sure to cherish those moments with them or else he'd be left behind in the end.
Once the Jounin saw Naruto and Jiraya, he quickly waved to them happily, welcoming them back from their long training. "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Uryuu sighed softly as he kept trekking along so he could drop the grunts off to prison.

Two years. Mayumi Nishimura couldn't believe everything that's happened in that time. From the defeat of Proto and ending up in another world entirely, losing all of her abilities until the death of another enemy, and returning to her own world, the White Ranger had quite a journey. In the time since returning and helping to stop the Shinsei Toukai, she had decided to put her skills to work in other fields, quickly adapting to medical work, knowing that if a need arose, she'd need to be prepared to fix her friends up.
Finishing an early workout, the young woman showered and dressed before putting her headband around her neck, putting her Shuriken in her pocket as well as grabbing a small purple figure off of her desk, flipping it open and smirking to herself before putting it in her other pocket. Her time on the other world, while eventful, had left her missing her home, and knowing that she was safe in Konoha, Mayumi ran out of the apartment she'd been renting for two years, heading for the hospital to get back to work.
"Just hope that things stay the way they are," she said to herself, tucking her hands in her pockets. "I know that's unlikely, but still..." She headed down the street, taking in the sights and sounds of her home, her mind wandering a bit. "I know he's gonna leave soon. Then it'll just be the four of us left. If something happens, would Kumiko, Davis, Uryuu, and me be enough to fight?"

"Shit! Come on he's gonna catch up to us! Move!" Said the masked sound nin to the 2 others.
The three had been leaping through the trees of the Konohagakure forests after running recon for some information on the current status of Konoha's forces, as well as attempting an ambush on what they thought was an unsuspecting village. Well they were until their forces of 15 had drastically dropped to 3.
"Noooo!" One of the nin shouted as his foot was trapped in a mound of mud which seemed to appear from nowhere that mud suddenly swallowed the shinobi. The remaining two looked on in horror as they continued to leap. "We're better off on the ground! We'll have more time to react!" A nin said as he jumped down only to realize he was facing his demise, an alligator made of stone revealed itself and chomped down on the nin! Then dragged him down into the earth!
The remaining shinobi stopped in his tracks landing down and pulled out his kunai looking around. "C-come on you son of a bitch... where are you?!"
"Here I am." A cheerful voice said as the Shinobi's eyes widened as a Masked Anbu stood next to him with his arms folded, he wore an alligator mask and waved to the nin who jumped back creating space between the two.
"You're a long ways from your home friend... now pray tell what brings you to Konoha?" The Anbu asked calmly.
"None of your business Leaf Scum!" The nin replied.
"Well... that wasn't very nice... Takashi Ikamashi." The Anbu said with a happy tone again.
"W-what?"
"My name... is Takashi Ikamashi... I'd prefer your final thoughts be on the man who took you down." Takashi said as he began to remove his mask revealing a grinning face almost child like.
"W-what?!" The nin started to shake as he felt the murderous intent despite the peaceful calm nature of Takashi. In Takashi's hand a scythe made of stone began to form in his hand as The nin rushed in and stabbed Takashi right in the chest! The Nin chuckled but then panicked as the Takashi he stabbed became a stone statue and his hand became stuck inside the chest cavity.
Takashi slowly walked from behind a tree shaking his head. "Not too bright are you?" The anbu asked raising his scythe, there was a single scream then silence.
Takashi placed his mask back on as he tapped a device in his ear. "Enemies clear... returning to headquarters now."
Takashi's body flickered away as he headed back to Lady Tsunade's.
After about an hour Takashi leaned outside her office speaking as he knew hia presence was felt by the Legendary Sannin.
"I've returned from my mission Lady Tsunade! Unfortunately I have nothing to report on that Rumored group of individuals... but seems Orochimaru still has stragglers trying to sneak into the village... I'm sure unrelated but they have been dealt with. I'd have brought them in alive but once I realized many of them were using cyanide pills... I assumed there would be no real information to gain." He said admittedly.

As was always the case, Lady Tsunade was buried under many stacks of paperwork. With all of her gifts as a healer and a power house, she lacked the attention to detail from a diplomatic perspective and for that reason, she was often behind on official matters related to the village. When she heard one of her Anbu enter her office, she welcomed the temporary reprieve from the horrors of paperwork.
"Good work, Takashi." Tsunade spoke, praising the young man's efforts. "I wouldn't worry about Proto's remnants. The Rangers have rounded up the vast majority of that network and hopefully they will be finished soon. As for any other group, I believe that our elite group is well equipped to handle them should they surface, even if one has departed." She finished, referring to the Rangers who have been tasked with handling the STC leftovers personally and should soon be free to deal with others threats now that their schedule is opening up a bit.

"I hear Naruto has returned as well... I'm sure you look forward to seeing him..." Takashi smiled before looking out to the village. "If there are no further missions for me Lady Hokage... I think I'll make my way into town. I could go for some Icharaku ramen right about now." He admitted as he pushed his anbu mask to the side of his head.

Two years. A good bit of time that passed for young, Davis Ishii. He matured more, less headstrong and more aware of his surroundings and the people around him. With Kabuto and Orochimaru, still on the loose and have yet to be seen, Davis among the other of his SRS family just came back after doing a patrol in town and rounded up some ruffians causing some of the town folk a lot of distress as they were scouts trying to encourage young shinobi's to abandon their way and join the STC. Up in the distance he seen Uryuu and Aaron who had rounded up some of the STC clan. "I take it I'm not the only one who rounded up some STC folks. Caught these fools trying to recruit some new blood." Davis said as he finally caught up with Aaron and Uryuu.

Mayumi sighed as she looked around, seeing her friends. She took off and bounced to a stop beside the other Rangers. "Hey, boys," she said. "Did a bit of a roundup, huh? Sorry I wasn't there to help."

"If Naruto's back, I suggest you move quickly." Tsunade suggested. "He's been without Ichiraku Ramen for two years so I'm sure he's hungry. Keep up the good work." She finished, effectively telling him that he was dismissed.
****
"Yeah. Figured I'd get in some morning exercise." Aaron said to Davis while dropping off more STC remnants. He heard Mayumi and turned his head, laughing upon hearing her apology. "All good. Kumiko must have taken the day off as well. Besides, I'm here so that's all that was needed. Those two were just a bonus." Aaron boasted, referring to the Yellow and Blue Rangers.

"Very well Milady!" Takashi's body flickered away as he made his way into Town. His hands in his pockets as he whistled an old tune his mother used to sing. He wore his civilian clothes donning his old Jonin vest, his headband wrappwd around his right arm, a single senbon in his mouth. Being in his Anbu attire would probably garner unwanted eyes and also make people feel uneasy as if danger were around.
Many knew him to be am exceptional ninja but those who knew he was Anbu were on a need to know basis. He quickly found his way into Ichiraku and had a seat placing his order. "Spicy pork with shrimp please, glad I got here before Uzumaki." He said with a smile as they gave him a cup of black tea as was his usual.

"Oi! Someone has to make sure you don't do anything silly, Aaron." Uryuu reminded with a raised eyebrow. "Besides, we arrive on time just so we can do free activities."
Then the Blue Ranger turned his focus to Mayumi. "Don't worry Mayumi. You need that day off anyway since you've been through so much."

"Hey, I'm rested up enough after the whole "Other Earth" thing. I've just been working on getting my MediNin certifications," Mayumi said with a smile. "I Haven't seen Kumiko in a bit. Might go find her and bother her for the day."

Upon hearing Aarons remark and boasting about it, Davis just shook his head. "And his head grew three sizes larger that day. Might have to pull on his ears. It may let some of the air out." Davis stated.

"Eh y'all worry too much. Now if this was Orochimaru or Kabuto, then y'all should worry. These bums here are just light work." Aaron laughed.
"We should hurry though. I saw Naruto come back with Jiraiya-sensei and if we don't get something to eat before he gets to Ichiraku Ramen, there may be none left!"
