Shang: All right, you all passed.

Three students: Eh!?

Maki: Then the two bells are?

Shang: It’s to test whether if you three can work as a team.

Shang performs the same bell test which was first seen being used on Naruto and his teammates. It results in in both Maki and Domon getting tied up. Kenshin was the only one who got the bell.

Shang’s thoughts: I thought the hot-headed character will always be the one who get punished. It is strange that Maki got punished too.

The reason for Maki and Domon’s punishment was that while Kenshin was going solo against Shang, they decided to have meals first. Maki was against it at first but was persuaded by Domon who said that they will leave some for Kenshin once they have grabbed a bite.

At the end of the test, Kenshin ended up spoon-feeding the both of them while they are tied up.

Shang’s thoughts: At least it ends well.

Shang: Remember this. Those who break the rules may be trash but those who don’t value their companions are worse than trash.

Shang simply repeated the words which Kakashi said to his team.

Shang: That’s all. Come back here at the same time.

Three students: Yes, Sensei!

After watching them disappear from sight, Shang calls out to the shadows.

Shang: Have you seen enough? Come out now.

????: Haha, sorry about that. It was fun watching how you test your students.

Hashirama and his brother come from the shadows.

Shang: I have nothing to say about Tobirama’s peeping fetish but you too, Hashirama?

Tobirama’s thoughts: Who the hell has a peeping fetish!?

Tobirama’s eyebrows knit when he hears Shang’s comments.

Hashirama: It’s not like I want. Your bell test caught my attention. Mind if I use it on other students?

Shang: I am alright with that.

Shang’s thoughts: The original inventor of the bell test should be either you or your brother. It’s not a problem letting you have it.

Hashirama: Say, Shang, What do you think of your students?

Shang: My students? I should be asking why did you guys choose them to be my students.

Hashirama: What’s wrong with them?

Shang: One from the Land of Iron, one from the Land of the Sky and lastly one from Land of Rice Fields. You tell me what’s wrong with them?

Hashirama: They are not from the Land of Fire?

Shang: And you guys decided to let a outsider teacher to teach outsiders to be ninjas ? Nice.

Shang smirks grimly.

Hashirama: Wait, wait, you are mistaken. It’s a coincidence that their clans are not from the Land of Fire.

Shang: Coincidence? I like to hear you explain.

Hashirama: I believe you have fought your students. What do you think of their talents as chakra users?

Shang: Talents? Zero talent I say. They can’t even do a proper Henge no Jutsu or a proper Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.

Hashirama: That’s the problem. We cannot reject students just because they have no talent in handing chakra, so we try to turn them into Taijutsu users and then another problem comes up.

Shang: What problem?

Hashirama: We don’t have teachers who can bring Taijutsu users to the level of Jounin.

Shang: Huh? Did I hear it wrong? Two Kage-level shinobi tell me that they cannot bring Taijutsu users to the level of Jounin? It's a joke, right?

Hashirama: Shamefully, it’s not a joke.

Hashirama had a discussion with Tobirama about the difference between Shang’s Taijutsu and their Taijutsu. Tobirama admits he is no match for Shang in that area.

Hashirama: That’s why, Shang, we need your help in training Taijutsu teachers.

Shang:....

Hashirama: Are you alright with that?

Shang: One hundred thousand ryo per month.

Shang walks away.

Hashirama: I am glad you…. Wait!? Can we discuss another amount?

Hashirama chases Shang with Tobirama following behind.
