Act ll summary:
Hikaru left for a month after telling Kakashi about his past. He kills Kazuku and Hidan, before visiting his timeline's Sakura and Kakashi's grave for the last two weeks. He comes back and apologizes to Kakashi, who surprisingly apologises back.
Sakura's parents went missing, and they'll be MIA/KIA for quite awhile. Hikaru realizes something is hovering on the horizon, something war-like. Half a year passes, and Kumo attacks a village in the Land of Fire. Tsunade declares war.
There's an attack on Konoha from both Kiri and Kumo. Hikaru slaughters around 40 enemy nin as well as protecting Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, and Sakura. Sakura looses a finger. Choji and the rest loose nothing. Hikaru passes out and is kidnapped by Kiri.
Hikaru proceeds to be tortured by Hamasaki Leiko. Her name becomes important later, and so does she. Yuu (Hamasaki Yuki) heals him, and Daichi talks to him at night. Half a year (six months) passes like this. Hikaru escapes while being 'betrayed' by Yuu.
He leaves by way of sea, proceeds to get injured even more, and almost drowns. He eventually ends up on the Land of Fire shore and continues to Konoha. He's picked up by Inuzuka Tsume, along with Kiba and a nameless shinobi. He's then taken to the hospital.
After a few or so hours, Hikaru's up again. Sasuke is missing an arm, Sakura is missing a finger, and Naruto is almost exactly the same. They visit him. Later on Ino shows up, tells him how she's training to become a therapist for injured shinobi to work next to Sakura. THIS BECOMES IMPORTANT.
Kakashi visits him a few days later, basically pledges to stay by Hikaru's side silently. Hikaru does not realize this. This is important later.
Hikaru gets his apartment back. He has panic attacks. Oh, yeah, it's winter now. Flashbacks galore.
Sasuke asks for Hikaru to train him. Hikaru agrees. Neji approaches him, also asks for Hikaru to train him. Hikaru agrees. Hikaru is also getting sick again. Being sick is bad. This is important later.
Hikaru's room is ice cold. So cold. This is important.
Hikaru is sick. Fever-like, flu-like sick that causes him to basically think he's Naruto when Sakura and Kakashi were still alive in his timeline. Kakashi buys him two blankets. This becomes important later. Kakashi buys him soup and restocks his cabinets. This also becomes important later.
Kakashi and Sakura take care of him when he was sick.
Then, bam, all of a sudden he's fine and then Sakura's.... well, Sakura is dead.

A/N:
Thank you guys so much for reading this! I've been writing the last chapters of Black Light for awhile now, and just... wow. I cannot believe that this is the final Act of this book.
I've recieved so much mind-blowing support, and I just want to say thank you. There isn't really a word in the english langauge for what I feel at the moment except for overwhemling gratitude.
I've worked on this book since 2018/2019, and I just... wow. It's been so long, and I've been through so much. I am in a much better place mentally then when I first started writing this, and I'm pretty sure it's noticable as Hikaru's character progresses.
I'm just stunned, I suppose. I never expected this book to get as much attention as it does, even when my writing was basically a middle-school level. So, yeah. Thank you guys so much!! I really appreciate everything, and without further ado...
For the last time this book, I hope you enjoy this next Act!
