August….
Konoha Kuzushi (Konoha Crush) Incident….
Shang just arrived a few metres outside of the Shishienjin (Four Violet Flames Formation) barrier to find the inner area covered with tree branches
His delay was caused by Danzou’s Root members who are ordered to prevent Shang from leaving the hospital on the pretext of protecting him.
A white cloaked Anbu approaches him by the side.
White Anbu: Elder…
Shang: What’s the situation?
The Anbu tells Shang what he has seen so far.
[Kankaho!]
[Ougi! Gousatsu-Iaiken!]
Shang fires a sonic fist at the barrier after putting his hands into his pockets.
A loud bang can be heard and not a crack can be seen on the barrier
Shang: Hmm??
Shang’s thoughts: If one fist is not enough, then what about a thousand?
[Ougi! Senjou-senzoku-Iaiken]
If the technique Gousatsu-Iaiken damage is equivalent to a anti-tank cannon shot, then the technique Senjou-senzoku-Iaiken multiply the attack by a thousand. Shang sees no reason that no crack would appear.

Within the first layer of the Shishienjin…
Jirobo: Is that person a moron? Trying to break through the barrier with his shockwaves?
Sakon: Ignore him. Just hold out till Orochimaru-sama finishes his business.
Jirobo: Got it.
Sakon’s thoughts: Am I mistaken that I feel the attack had shaken the barrier?
Sakon shakes his head.
Sakon’s thoughts: Impossible. That’s no way this barrier can be destroyed.
Inside the Shishienjin…..
Orochimaru’s thoughts: This sound… Someone is attacking the barrier. It will be bad if that person joins the fray. I should finish this quickly.
Orochimaru immediately orders the two reanimated Hokages to attack by waving his hand.
Enma: Hmm?? Someone is attacking the barrier from the outside?
Hiruzen’s thoughts: Who would that be?
Hiruzen thinks as he was protected by his personal summon, Monkey King, Enma’s Kongo Rouheki (Vajra Prison Wall).
Hiruzen’s thoughts: Whoever it is, it should be fine if I used that jutsu. Orochimaru will not escape this time.
Hiruzen dispels the Kongo Rouheki and uses Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to create two shadow clones.
Outside the Shishienjin…..
Shang watches from the outside as the Shinigami appears behind Hiruzen.
Shang’s thoughts: Shiki Fujin…. I guess this is it for Hiruzen.
Once Hiruzen finishes his business and ends the summoning, his soul will be consumed by the Shinigami.
Anbu: Elder, what’s going on in there?
Anbu questions as he notices Shang’s grave expression.
Shang: ....
Shang remains silent.
After a few minutes, Shishienjin disappears and Orochimaru is seen being carried away by the Sound Four.
Anyone, including Shang, who is watching immediately, rushes to the side of the fallen Hokage.
Shang checks the pulse of Hiruzen even though he knows that he is already dead. There are procedures he had to do as the head of the hospital.
Anbu: How is it? Can Hokage-sama be saved?
Anbu asks as he watches Shang’s actions.
Shang shakes his head.
Shang: Send word to the councilors and the others quickly.
Shang breathes heavily before continuing.
Shang: Our great leader is dead.
Anbu: ...Yes, Elder.
