5 Years Have Past.. Everything Is Almost The Same As It Was 5 Years Ago, From Kenichi and Kemumaki's struggle in finding Yumeko's love to Kagechiyo and Shishimaru's heated rivalry. Hattori is the same too. He is still the most Badass Iga Ninja, A stud but You guys might be wondering what has happened to the exciting young prospect, What has happened to the ninja in training, What has happened to Shinzo Hattori? Well 5 years have past.... He is no longer a ninja in training... For your information a ninja in training get their official ninja certificate from the Iga Community Of Ninja Training when they are 10 years old. Shinzo is 12 years old but he doesn't have a certificate... Well the Iga Community Of Ninja Training (The community well known for training various talented ninjas such as Kanzo and Jinchu Hattori) had offered Shinzo the official certificate but his brother Kanzo Hattori denied the community and rejected the certificate in his opinion  Shinzo is not good enough to be a "Legit Ninja" yet.... He still needs training.... This statement is eating Shinzo up for 2 years now... All of his childhood mates are verified Ninjas... So why cant he be one too? In fact he is better then any other ninja from his batch... Though he took it lightly at the beginning but he has reached his breaking point!!! 2 years of being humiliated by childhood buddies, 2 years of being underestimated.... Shinzo cant take it anymore.. He has come to the point that he thinks that his own brother is holding him back!!!! Which is understandable when you are not getting what you deserve for 2 damn years!!! But Hattori isn't holding him back... He wants his brother to be one step ahead of every other ninja.... He wants his younger one to be better then him... Just like any good Elder brother would.... But Shinzo doesn't know this and he is in a point where he doesn't even want to know about it..... But in respect to his Elder brother Shinzo still trains like a newbie would even though he is better then most of the other ninjas... Shinzo has his feeling deep inside his heart because he doesn't    want to hurt his elder brother.... But the day is here for Shinzo to reveal his feelings, to reveal his talent!!! But it starts of like just another day..... Kenichi is late for school and his mom is screaming... He doesn't even eat the breakfast with the rest of the family and rushes to school while a bread is hanging out of his mouth... And just like always Hattori tells Shinzo and Shishimaru to join him to the practice while kenichi is out for school... Even though Shinzo doesn't like practice (To him its useless) he has to go with his brother and Shishimaru... So they train for sometime and come back to their home... Meanwhile Kenichi came back from school and immediately left for hanging out with Yumeko... So Shishimaru enters his dog house for a quick nap, Hattori goes for a shower to freshen up and Mom is talking to her friend on the telephone... Shinzo is in Kenichi's bedroom to watch some Doraemon (yes he still watches it).... In the meantime Kemumaki sends out his pet cat ninja Kagechiyo to challenge hattori to a duel just like he does once every week to keep his and Hattori's rivalry alive... So Kagechiyo enters Kenichi's room from his window and leaves the challenge letter down on the floor... Shinzo picks it up and reads it.... After reading it he dropped it on the floor and continues watching Doraemon... While watching Shinzo gets an Idea... He thinks about accepting the challenge on behalf of his elder brother.... It would be a great chance to prove his worth and beating Kemumaki might convince his brother to allow him take that prestigious certificate... So Shinzo runs his way to the open plot (as stated by Kemumaki in the letter)..... Meanwhile Hattori is done showering.... Shishimaru woke up and Kenichi came back home... After entering his room Kenichi saw that challenge letter laying on the floor... He checked the recipients name and it said Kanzo Hattori.. So he called Hattori and gave him his letter... After reading it Hattori is ready for a full contact duel... He warmed up and called Shishimaru and Shinzo to support him from the corners of the open plot along with Kenichi... Shishimaru responded by saying yes but Shinzo is nowhere to be seen... They start searching for him all around their house but didn't find him.... Then Hattori realized that Shinzo was pleading him for a friendly duel to show of his skills for the last couple of days... So did Shinzo accepted Kemumaki's duel????? Hattori ran towards to open plot to see if his brother is okay...  He got followed by Shishimaru and Kenichi... Meanwhile Shinzo reached the open plot and said: Lets do this!!!
A shocked Kemumaki replied by saying: Huh... What ya doing here? Kiddo!!!
 Shinzo replied by saying: I'm not a kiddo... Im Shinzo Hattori... The Next Big Thing... And I'm here to accept your challenge on behalf of my brother.
Kemumaki: Oooh.. Like your confidence boy but you may regret you decision....

Then the duel started with Shinzo attacking with quick kicks and blocking incoming hits with his sword (As good as Shinzo is he is stiil no match for someone like Kemumaki's caliber)..
Kemumaki saw the raging young lion in Shinzo and adapted a defensive style like someone of his caliber would... He used his sword to block every head shots and put his back on the wooden wall..
Shinzo didn't know that Kemumaki is doing this on purpose and started delivering stiff body kicks and mixed it up with brutal sword chops to the arm ..
Kemumaki saw his arm bleed.. But he kept his strong posture of defense and occasionally threw body jabs to keep a distance with Shinzo...
Shinzo thought its a good chance for him to go all out and knock Kemumaki out...
But after a couple of minutes Shinzo started to show fatigue..
Which led to Kemumaki's fight back.. He pushed him of himself and struck him with a deadly shot to his arm!!!
Shinzo was clearly seeing stars and started going backwards 
Kemumaki followed him and kicked him in the stomach 
Shinzo turned around... Meanwhile Hattori and the gang arrived..
Kemumaki thought about finishing the duel by hitting Shinzo with a jumping sword chop to the back... While he jumped up in the air Hattori ran in to make a interception with his own sword...
Then Hattori pushed Kemumaki to the ground...
An exhausted Kemumaki got back up and said: Hahaha!!! He is pretty good but not as good me...  You saved him from a serious beatdown Hattori.. I was about to injure him.....
Kemumaki ran away after saying this
Hattori said: (To Kemumaki) I will get you.... (To Shinzo) Are you okay????
Shinzo pushed Hattori and stood face to face with him.....
