Sarutobi Hiruzen flips through the classified details which Tobirama have on Shang, in his mind when he is sitting face to face with the person himself.

Hirzuzen’s thoughts:

“Name: Shang Yinchao”

(Confirmed twice by myself and my brother)

“Job: Traveler, Clan advisor (no longer)”

(Self-claimed traveler)

(He revealed to my brother in a drinking party that he used to be a advisor for a ninja clan)

“Clan: Maniwa”

(No records of this clan existing, Could be an unrecorded old clan, Shang could be the last surviving member.)

(Confirmed again by my brother in a drinking party.)

“Age: Probably a hundred plus.”

(Blood and hair sample shows he is older than he looks.)

“Birthday: ???”

(I am not sure why my brother wants to know.)

“Height: 5 to 6 ft”

“Weight: 60 to 70kg”

“Blood Type: O”

“Personality: Lazy, Ryo-minded, Shameless”

"(Caught him lazing around while his students are training)"

"(Doesn’t do a thing until he sees the ryo)"

"(Doesn’t show shame when flirting with girls younger than his age. Might consider getting him a wife)"

“Attributes:”

“Strength"

"(Won the head of the Akimichi Clan at Arm wrestling, could be off the grid)”

“Dexterity"

"(Members of Hyuuga Clan and Uchiha sometimes have a hard time trying to catch up with him)”

“Intelligence"

"(Shang reveals some of his skills as a military advisor, showing us alternate and simple ways to handle things.)”

“Chakra"

"(Weirdly, Hyuuga Clan’s Byakugan users’ vision cannot penetrate through him.)”

“Perception"

"(I sometimes wonder if he is pretending to act blur)”

“Negotiation"

"(Another talent discovered)”

“Skills:”

“Undead pervert, Military advisor, Anti-Genjutsu specialist, Taijutsu Genius Monster, Master of Arms, Negotiator”

“Conclusion:"

"Find a wife to straighten him out (My brother left this out, so I help him to fill in... By Shodaime-sama)”

One invisible sweatdrop could be seen falling from the side of Hiruzen’s face when he saw this.

Hiruzen’s thoughts: Shodaime-sama, you should at least write down something useful or just let Nidaime-sama complete it.

Hiruzen could image Hashirama laughing when he wrote that.

Hiruzen’s thoughts: Hopefully this man will be a great help to us.

Hiruzen thinks as he looks at Shang.

Being a Hokage at a young age, Hiruzen starts to feel the pressure of the burden he is carrying.

Firstly, it would be from his own clan who insist they should have their own people being councilors. If Hiruzen simply followed their instructions, he would most likely face the rage from other clans.

Secondly, it would be from the Four Noble Clans of Konohagakure. They are the Aburame clan, the Akimichi clan, the Hyuuga clan and lastly the Uchiha clans. Both Aburame and Hyuuga clan play neutral and are watching the actions of the new Hokage from the sidelines. Thanks to Uchiha Kagami and Akimichi Torifumi, Hiruzen did not have to face much pressure from Uchiha and Akimichi clans.

Lastly, the Konoha Council. Hiruzen selected his former team members, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu to be his councilors as they could be trusted. Hiruzen also includes Shimura Danzou as one of his councilors and makes him the second-in-command.

After a meeting with the three, Hiruzen feels they are lacking in experience and finds out suggestions which are given from their clan heads only benefit the clans themselves. None of them have the village interest at heart.

Alone in the Hokage office after ordering the Anbu to stand down, Hiruzen went into a rage, releasing his stress by throwing stuff around. When he finally calmed down, he tumbled upon Tobirama’s hidden files where he learnt about Shang.

Hiruzen: So Elder Shang…

Shang: Elder Shang sounds so old… Call me Shang will do.

Hiruzen's thoughts: You are actually older than me.

Hiruzen: So Shang… I would like you to join the council. Will you accept?
