By the look of things they all seemed to be dead.
"And that takes care of that "the serpent demon said with a wide smile then looked at Hashiro who looked back at him with a grin.
"Why are you smiling boy" the serpent demon said then saw Hashiro's finger pointing to something behind him. What he saw baffled him.
They were still alive and unharmed after his attack.
"How!!!!" he exclaimed and tried to perform the serpent technique but before he could even perform the hand signs, he was stabbed in the heart by Hatashi's flaming blade which in turn burnt him but he managed to remove the blade from his chest.
After removing the blade from his chest, he rested on a tree and couldn't even muster a proper breath.
"How did they survive that attack" the serpent demon thought they were meant to be crushed to pieces but all my snakes were destroyed in almost an instant after the attack" he thought again then a small flash of an idea which made him remember the reason why he focused on Hatashi first.
"it was that Hirakima boy's illusion technique!" he thought
"But when did he…" the serpent demon thought but before he could finish, he was thrust through by Tiatsuri using the death palm which was meant to finish the job but the serpent demon wasn't done.
"if I'm going to die you might as well die with me" the serpent demon said with a smile then he let out his last resort in the name of the "serpent technique: emergence of a thousand snakes". This attack created a great swarm of venomous snakes out of the serpent demon's body this left the gang, especially Tiatsuri, who had removed his from the serpent demons' body in time but still was the closest to the serpent demons body stunned as they all struggled to destroy all of the serpents.
When they finally destroyed all the snakes, they were all poisoned because they received bites from many snakes but Kaitara healed herself, Tiatsuri and Hatashi before the poison could take effect. Then they all walked to where Hashiro stood.
"they've all grown very much since the last time I saw them" Hashiro thought.
"They might even be able to surpass me in the near future and ascend to even greater heights" he thought then he smiled while looking at them.
"How did we do sensei" Kaitara said as her and the others looked at Hashiro who then looked at them and said: "good job guys".
Which is a phrase he has never said up until now what even made it better is that he hugged all three of them after saying it.
While they celebrated another masked figure appeared but the mask of this one had flames on it which said a lot about him and made his identity obvious. He was the indeed the Fire lord.
