Inside the Hokage Office...

Hiruzen: What do you guys think of my Team Hiruzen?

Hiruzen says happily in front of his councilors, introducing the three future legendary ninjas, Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade.

The only attention he gets was Shang who gives him an annoyed look.

On two sides In front of the huge Hokage table, there is one long table with piles of paper on side. Those tables are occupied by Shang and the remaining three councilors. On the left table, Shang and Danzou are in charge of the internal affairs while on the right table, Homura and Koharu are in charge of the external affairs.

Shang finds it stupid that the Hokage is handing everything himself, so he suggests splitting up the work. After they have gone through, the rest is up to Hiruzen is to check before stamping the seal. This gives him extra time to become a teacher.

As the three councilors are too busy to reply, they only look up and nods at the three children standing behind Hiruzen before returning to their paperwork.

Shang: I don’t mind if you want to boast your team in front of us during your time off but I would like to know when are you gonna finish stamping all these?

Shang points at the piles of paper which almost reach the ceiling on the Hokage table.

Hiruzen: I don't see anything there.

Hiruzen pretends he did not see the towers of paper. Looking at these towers of paper from his viewpoint is too stressful for him.

Shang: You can ignore it but you cannot run away from it.

Hiruzen: Sigh~ Let me off for this once, Elder, It is still my teaching period.

Shang’s thoughts: I already told him to drop the “elder” word… Well, whatever...

Shang:...Do whatever you want.

Before Shang can resume working, Hiruzen stops him.

Hiruzen: Wait, Elder.

Shang: What is it this time?

Hiruzen: Elder is master of taijutsu, right? I would like you to teach these children some lessons on taijutsu.

Shang:...Taijutsu? Hmm...okay.

Hiruzen: Then we will see you at the Third Training Hall.

Hiruzen and his team left the office.

Shang:...Danzou, is this your idea of challenge again?

Danzou: Not this time. It appears Hiruzen wants to show his team the dangers of facing a taijutsu master.

Danzou says without looking up from his paperwork.

Shang:....I see.

When Hiruzen first introduced Shang to the other their councilors, they were against about allowing him to join the council as there is nothing they know about him.

After a few minutes of argument, Shang speaks up.

Shang: Why not we go outside and let me show you what I can do?

Hiruzen:...

Three Councilors: ???

On that certain day, a certain training ground has to be closed up for restoration.

After the certain training ground incident, Danzou later questioned Hiruzen on Shang’s background and discreetly sent people from different clans to challenge Shang, hoping one of them could bring him down.

Shang: Well then, should I get going?

Shang’s thoughts: The last time I cosplayed Shougeki no Alberto from Giant Robo. So who should I cosplay next?
