"Which ending are you talking about?" Aaron asked, pausing for the arrival of his Ramen which hit his nose harder than Chouji hits barbecue. "The part where I made the call not to kill him or the part where it took almost a year to repair the damage he did during the massacre?"

"Letting the man live... we lost many great shinobi because of him... many I once called brothers and sisters... I must say it was a good thing I was away and not faced with him... while I disagree I trust your judgment!" He said still smiling though his eyes showed a bit of sadness remembering his old squad mates.
"But that's part of the way of the Shinobi isn't it? Making choices like that... and often with little to no time to mull things over... even when you do its still not an easy task. You've grown as a Ninja and not only in strength Aaron. Its why you are Red Ranger." He said with pride in Aaron still.
"You've all grown." He addressed the others as well.

Aaron nodded, appreciating the level headed comment. "I'll admit, it wasn't easy. Given the fact that he's killed me once before, nobody would have batted an eyelash had I clipped him right then and there but putting him in a position where he has to see his failure every day in a thriving village and seeing that someone is stronger than him is far more torturous than a mercy killing." For a moment, the known bravado faded away as his mind drifted back to that moment when he had to make that decision. He then snapped back to reality with his trademark confidence filling his tone.
"Besides, Granny Tsunade put a seal on him personally to block his chakra and by proxy, his jutsu. The only way it is coming off is if either she does it or someone with equal or greater strength does it which is why we've been non stop on catching Orochimaru."

Uryuu admitted that it's nice to have an outside perspective regarding Proto's punishment. While it wasn't easy to handle that, it did give many like him some level of comfort knowing that everyone had strength to rebuild despite the pain and suffering from him.
"It's difficult to find Orochimaru and Kabuto given their nature. Even with recent developments, we hit roadblocks. All we can do is let them come to us." Uryuu admitted sadly after he received his meal.

Mayumi made her way down to the hospital, heading to her "supervisor" and getting her assignment. SHe sighed as she realized she'd be dealing with her older brother, and she steeled herself. "Well, shit," she muttered, heading for the other end of the building. Ever since paralyzing him and putting him in jail, she hadn't seen or spoken to Kazu in over two years. "Hope it's giving him a lethal injection..."

"How many times do I keep telling you Davis, you're not intruding." Uryuu reminded as he watched his Yellow teammate coming to sit next to him. "You can still be part of the conversation regardless."
Takashi gave a nod and smile to the yellow Ranger. "Davis... a pleasure to meet you and please join in. I was just catching up with Aaron and Uryuu my good friends. Uryuu and I served together at one point. But he seems to have grown into an even better shinobi. In part thanks to working with a ninja-like you. I'm Takashi Ikamashi."
Takashi sipped more tea. "I was just about to speak on how congratulations were in order for your big conquest 2 years ago. Proto was no small task... though I disagree with the ending.... congratulations will be had regardless. Eat up everyone your meal is on me!" He said his smile never fading.
"Look Its ingrained in my DNA. Blame my mother for my raising, Uryuu." Davis stated as he sat on the side of his friend. "Yes, it was quite a battle. My leg still pops from time to time after he stabbed it with a tree branch. I have my reservations about the ending as well given how creative his mind is, however, he is powerless. We are all better for it I suppose. We became stronger not only as friends but as shinobi. I'll admit, I'm a little less headstrong. And before you start, Aaron, I don't use other element jutsu's other than my own. That was a one-time thing, get off me." Davis stated.

"It was actually three, maybe more." Aaron quickly corrected the Yellow Ranger. "Everything else is spot on though." Aaron chuckled in between bites.

"As far as Orochimaru... he definitely has fallen of the radar only his subordinates have been making moves... but It's his MO... staying silent then striking like the snake he is... but we'll be ready for him. After all we have Rangers among our forces." He said ordering another bowl.
"I surely hope this decision with Proto either way was the right one. Time will tell, even a man without a sword is deadly to another with one." He said wisely to the others.

"Kazu-niican," Mayumi said, walking into the room. She saw her brother's head turn, and she gave a light smile. "Nii-chan."
"Mayumi," Kazu said. He turned away, looking back up at the ceiling. "What are you doing here?"
"You're my patient for the day, big brother," Mayumi said, walking over and checking her brother's vitals. "As much as I wish I was somewhere else, I have to do my job if I want my license." She set the chart down, rolling her brother to the side and checking for any wounds or anything out of place. "Kazu-nii. It's been two years. Do you regret anything?"
Kazu sighed, looking at the floor. "Some of it. Our parents were right to throw me out after what I did, disgracing the family name. I tried to cheat on my exam, and I paid for it. These last two years have been interesting for my introspection, Imoto. I'm sorry I killed our mother, and I...I tried to kill you and your friends, because you were just trying to find our mother."
Mayumi was silent for a moment. "Kazu...after I brought you back to the Village and our mother's body, our father kicked me out for doing the right thing. Daigo-nii is the only one that still talks to me from the family. Our father wants nothing to do with me because I went after you. I still hate you for killing her, but...you are my brother, Nii-chan. Despite everything, I still claim that." She marked a few notes down, walking for the door. "I'll be back to check on you later."

"You're not gonna let me live that down, will you? I swear. One day I'm gonna catch you slipping getting egg on your face and I'm gonna get even." Davis said as he chuckled as he took some more Spoonfuls of soup

"Seeing as you're the one that brought it up, this one is on you." Aaron laughed. "In all seriousness though, you have come a long way, these last two years. Still not at my level but you're definitely improving."

"Your level? I'm sorry but the only one that can hit that imaginary Aaron level is your brother. Hitting your level would be trying to compete in a pole vaulting competition over a skyscraper." Davis chuckled.

"Now, now. It's never a competition to begin with." Uryuu reminded in a older brotherly way. "Both of you are doing better at your own pace and skills. As for me, it's a gradual process despite being average and all."

"That's where you're wrong, my friend." Aaron gave Uryuu a pat on the back. "There is such a thing as healthy competition. Besides, nothing about you is average because I don't do average on my team." Aaron said with a smile on his face.

"Instead, you bring out the awesome vibes to the team. Even though, you're already the best of the best to begin with." Uryuu replied with an amused expression. "And I'm not even joking at all. Despite everything we went through, you still impressed me."
