News spread fast from the Hokage Office that Elder Shang is going to teach students of Hokage taijutsu lessons.
Uninvited spectators from various clans who receive the news, either arrive at the Third Training Ground personally as the head or send clan members to be their eyes.
Shang: What is this, Hiruzen? I thought this is supposed to be simple teaching lesson.
Shang who is wearing older version of the Konoha’s flak jacket, along with black long pants, suit and sandals says after sensing more than twenty Jounin-leveled presence. His forehead protector is placed around his neck.
Hiruzen: Don’t blame me. You’re the one who is getting all attention after nearly defeating every Jounin member from each clan in Konohagakure.
Hiruzen: And don’t forget your three students are quite famous. “Shoryu (Rising Dragon)” Himura Kenshin, “Kaze no Hime (Wind Princess)” Aikawa Maki and lastly “Ougon no Ken” (Golden Fist) Kasshu Domon.
Shang: ...How did they get those names?
Hiruzen: How did they? Do you really want to ask?
Shang: The clans?
Hiruzen: Yeah, it’s them again. After their clan members got defeated by you, they changed to seeking revenge on your students instead. They did not expect your students to be stronger than Chunin. The clans give them names after their Gennin members got defeated.
Shang: Hmm…
Shang’s thoughts: They are stronger than I expected. I guess I have to give them extra training to lower their pride.
Hiruzen: Time’s up, Shang. I have given them enough time to plan their attack. It’s your turn to hunt them.
Shang: Got it.
Shang just walks off casually with his hands in his pocket.
Somewhere hidden in the forest of the Third Training Ground…
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Tsunade: Jiraiya, are you sure that plan of yours will work?
Jiraiya: Of course. There’s nothing wrong with following my plan. Plus, I got a secret weapon if anything goes wrong. Hahahaha
Tsunade’s thoughts: It’s your overconfidence I am worried about.
Tsunade:...Orochimaru, what do you think?
Tsunade asks, hoping the quiet Orochimaru would give a better plan.
Orochimaru: Firstly, we only know Elder Shang is a master and a genius in taijutsu.
Secondly, we learn from Hiruzen Sensei that his ability might be the same as Tsunade.
Lastly, his student, Kasshu Domon can take several punches from Tsunade without flying. It shows that he is not only good at offensive taijutsu, he is also good at defensive taijutsu. That’s all the information i have gathered.
Tsunade: Hmm…
Jiraiya: Tsunade!
Tsunade: What is it?
Jiraiya: Look, Elder Shang is coming this way.
Jiraiya says as he sees Shang slowly walks towards their location.
Tsunade:...I guess we will go ahead with Jiraya’s plan, Orochimaru.
Orochimaru nods to her reply and disappears, using a ninjutsu,
Back to Shang who is searching for Team Hiruzen…
Shang takes his time searching like taking a walk in a park till he notices Orochimaru who is standing in front of a tree.
Shang: Orochimaru...
Orochimaru: Elder Shang, Are you not going to attack me?
Orochimaru says with a boring expression.
Shang: Why should I?
Orochimaru: If Elder is not going to attack me, then we should start ahead.
[Sen'ei Jashu!] (Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!)
As Orochimaru faces his robe sleeves towards Shang, several snakes spring from his sleeves and tries to bind Shang by wrapping him around.
At the same time, another voice can be heard.
[Ranjishigami no Jutsu!] (Wild Lion's Mane Technique!)
Tsunade: I got you!
Tsunade jumps towards Shang from the back.
Shang’s thoughts: Not bad. Binding me with hair and snakes and then leaving the final hit to Tsunade.
[Teleport]
Team Hiruzen: Eh?
Shang’s thoughts: But you are dealing with a warlock, not a ninja.
[Kankaho!]
[Ougi! Gousatsu-Iaiken!]
With his hands still in his pockets, Shang fires his devastating Iaiken into the ground, creating an impact that cause Team Hiruzen to fly backwards.
Shang’s thoughts: Too bad I don’t smoke, else I will show you the manliness of bearded older man by cosplaying Takahata T. Takamichi.
