Yet the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, was an old stubborn fool. As one of Iwagakure's elders, he had a rigid temperament and did not get along with Ōnoki. In a fit of anger, he left the village and wandered the world as a traveling monk.
This was good news for Akatsuki. They were not afraid of opponents being too strong; what they feared was their targets hiding away.

However, after the major villages became highly vigilant, some Jinchuriki who had not been valued before might
