Uchiha Kō looked at the stubborn Roshi in front of him and couldn't help but sneer, "Eight years ago, I spared you in the Land of Earth. Now you've turned around and become ungrateful, hurting my villagers. Let me tell you, even if Ōnoki comes this time, you will still die."
"You, you're being unreasonable. I'm here to help you." Roshi was feeling a little guilty.
"Help us? Help us reduce the number of combat-ready ninjas? Do you think you're so noble because you're the Four-Tails Jinchūriki you can't die, which is why you're so brazen in reaching out to innocent Konoha Ninja?" Uchiha Kō's words hit the nail on the head, making Roshi's heart pound wildly.
Uchiha Kō didn't waste any words. His Golden Rinnegan appeared, and he placed a hand on Roshi's head. Roshi was horrified. What kind of eye is that? Damn it, why do I feel such a powerful sense of danger?
"Don't be nervous, I just want to read your memories and thoughts. Rinnegan Eye Technique: Heart Layer Dive!" Golden chakra emerged from Uchiha Owl's hand, covering Rōshi's head. (Taken from the Human Path's technique Heart Layer Dive in the original work.) This technique can read memories in the mind.
Roshi let out a wail, then calmed down. Uchiha Kō closed his eyes tightly and focused his consciousness into Roshi's memories.
Roshi shouted, "No! I'm going! Nobody stop me!" Then he dashed towards the battlefield in Konoha.
"Roshi, you really want to help Konoha, right?" Son Gokū asked Roshi in his mind.
"Hmph, help him? I might as well join the Cloud Mist Battlefield!" A flame of hatred flashed in Roshi's eyes. He had not forgotten the humiliation that Uchiha Kō had inflicted on him during World War II. Helping Konoha? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"No, Roshi, I think you should reconsider. You know, Konoha Iwagakure are not to be trifled with! You can't afford to offend them, and neither can I. Once we do this, there's no turning back!" Son Gokū said, exasperated.
"Son Gokū, are you scared?" Roshi provoked.
Son Gokū was stunned. "Damn it, you can't understand human language, huh? Fine, I won't say anything more. Do whatever you want!"
Son Gokū didn't answer, but instead ignored Roshi's thoughts. Whatever, I'm tired. Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't affect me. You may have forgotten what happened to Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata, but I still remember.
At worst, we can just find another host. What an idiot!
Roshi noticed that Son Gokū was no longer responding. He snorted coldly and headed towards the battlefield in Konoha.
The Mist Ninja are wreaking havoc in a small village, where five hundred ninjas dispatched by Konoha are fighting against two hundred Mist Ninja. They are exchanging blows with each other, their swords drawn and their Ninjutsu clashing, creating a scene of chaos and devastation.
Roshi sneered from the shadows, "Is that all? The Konoha Ninja are nothing special. I, Roshi, will lend you a hand!" With that, he was about to make his move.
Hehe, it's not that the Konoha Ninja are incompetent; it's because this place is within the Land of Fire, and they can't bear to destroy the village's infrastructure and every single tree. Therefore, they are using ordinary methods to fight against the Mist Ninja.
The Mist Ninja ninjas were well aware of this. To some extent, the fact that the Konoha army was restrained was very advantageous to them. Since the enemy dared not unleash wide-range attack Ninjutsu, it meant that it was only one-on-two or one-on-one situations, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Mist Ninja.
However, the tactics employed by the Konoha troops bought the villagers time, allowing them to help each other leave the village and seek refuge in Konoha.
The next moment
Roshi activated Lava Style Chakra Mode, standing in the air, and shouted, "Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!" He then spat out multiple magma balls from his mouth, deliberately targeting areas with many people. The high-temperature magma caused all the ninjas to stop their attacks and begin to dodge.
But how could Roshi let them escape so easily? He glanced at the ninjas of Kumogakure, then at the ninjas of Konoha, and a wicked thought suddenly arose in his mind: wouldn't it be wonderful to leave them all here?
But what he didn't see was that the leader of the 500-ninja army, a senior ninja, Jonin dodged the attack, immediately fled the battlefield, pulled out his pager, and shouted, "Calling for backup! Calling for backup! Four-Tails Jinchūriki has appeared above New Celebration Village and is using Lava Release Ninjutsu on a large scale. Houses and civilians are being destroyed, and our ninjas have suffered heavy casualties. Requesting backup! Over!"
Just as he finished reporting, a magma ball shot towards him. He was stunned, then threw the pager far away. His entire body was then enveloped by the Scorching River Rock Technique, leaving no trace of his body, and he didn't even let out a scream.
Meanwhile, the pager landed and Senju Hashirama's voice came through. "Hey, can you hear me? Evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately!" Senju Hashirama in Konoha at the moment, and he hurriedly gave the order. He gritted his teeth, not expecting a Four-Tails Jinchūriki to suddenly appear out of nowhere. His first thought was to get the army to evacuate, and he didn't want to cause trouble.
However, Roshi picked up the pager, smiled, and pressed a button, saying, "Idiot."
Senju Hashirama froze, looking at Senju Tobirama beside him. "What did he call me?"
"Uh, maybe, if I heard correctly, an idiot?" Senju Tobirama, glancing at Senju Hashirama before turning his head away.
Senju Hashirama's face darkened. "Second brother, you guard the house, I'll go meet him." With that, Senju Hashirama charged straight towards the army.
Son Gokū was stunned. That voice sounded so familiar! It sounded like that guy's voice? Impossible! Could it really be such a coincidence?
"Hey, hey, hey, Roshi, run! The voice coming from the walkie-talkie just now sounded like Senju Hashirama's voice. You've not only massacred all the ninjas in the village, but you've also called the God of Shinobi idiot! If you don't run now, it'll be too late!"
"Run? Why run? What's wrong with Senju Hashirama? What else does he have? He also has a head, two arms, and two legs, doesn't he?" Roshi was already arrogant at this moment. He had killed more than seven hundred ninjas in this short time and was already in a killing Red Eye.
"You lunatic! Roshi, how the hell did I find such an stupid guy like you!" Son Gokū had already started bombarding him with telegrams, but the next second, the Great Buddha had already rushed over and quietly stopped in front of the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Roshi.
Seeing this, Son Gokū thought to himself, "It's so spicy, so spicy, so spicy, so spicy, so spicy, so spicy! I'll confess everything now, and I'll sever all ties with Roshi, okay, Pillar Bro~"
Roshi looked up at the giant Buddha, grinned, and said, "Heh, it's just a slightly larger wooden frame. What can it do to me!" With that, Roshi unleashed Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!
A massive magma ball spewed towards Senju Hashirama statue, seemingly without restraint. "My magma, you wood? You're asking for death!" Roshi sneered inwardly. "What 'God of Shinobi,' what ' Senju Hashirama, empty titles!!!!"
However, Senju Hashirama gave him a cold look, clapped his hands together, and Wood Release Wood Dragon Technique! A Wood Dragon appeared out of thin air, swiftly catching all the magma balls, and then, engulfed in flames, it lunged at Roshi.
"Holy crap! Son Gokū, help me! Son Gokū!" Roshi frantically called for backup, but the Four-Tails Son Gokū blocked all his communication sources, silently watching everything unfold. Help you? Am I crazy to help you? Even the Nine-Tails is a piece of cake for him, what do you think I have that I don't?
Seeing that Son Gokū was so disloyal, Roshi took a deep breath and unleashed "Lava Release: Granite!" Lava Release Chakra coated his body, forming a huge protective layer.
However, the moment the Wood Dragon charged forward, a crack was heard and the protective layer shattered. Roshi let out a wail and was sent flying. Just as he was about to use this force to escape the battlefield...
A gigantic hand pressed down on him, blocking his entire vision. Roshi's face turned ashen. Holy crap, just how powerful is this guy?! How can he do something like this? Is he even human?
Senju Hashirama ignored him. The Great Buddha grabbed Roshi and slammed him to the ground with a thud!
The earth shattered, creating a crater. Roshi lay in the middle of the crater, completely powerless, spitting out blood. Horrible, utterly terrifying—this was the most terrifying enemy he had ever encountered since birth.
However, Senju Hashirama had no intention of stopping. He continued to throw punches, five in total, until Roshi's aura grew weaker and weaker and he was about to die. Only then did he stop.
"Four-Tails, I know you're here. Heal him, don't let him die. Otherwise, when you revive, I'll come looking for you myself."
Senju Hashirama's words jolted the Four-Tails Son Gokū, who immediately circulated his Tailed Beast Chakra to slowly revive Roshi's dying body.
Senju Hashirama released the Great Buddha, then instantly sealed it with a single hand Sealing Jutsu, placing it on Roshi's abdomen.
Then, one hand lifted him up, and the man with an unfriendly expression walked towards Konoha.
The scene ends here.
Uchiha Kō released his grip, opened his eyes, and looked at Roshi with a mocking expression. Roshi was foaming at the mouth and moaning incoherently.
"Trash, you only have the confidence to kill my Konoha Ninja because of your Lava Release and Son Gokū. Today, I will strip you of your trump cards and let you die slowly," Uchiha Kō said calmly.
"Hatake Sakumo, go to the Uchiha Clan and fetch Izuna and Pakura. Tell them that Uchiha Kō has a big gift for them."
"Yes, Lord Hokage -sama! I'll go right away!" Hatake Sakumo flashed away from the prison and headed towards the Uchiha Clan.
In less than five minutes, Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Izuna, Pakura arrived at the prison.
Uchiha Kō smiled at the three of them, then looked at Izuna and said, "Grandpa, I said before that I wanted to give this Four-Tails Tailed Beast Miss Pakura. You can be my witness."
Uchiha Izuna smiled. "Thank you."
Pakura was stunned. She'd only just joined Konoha, and they were already treating her this well? And what about the Tailed Beast? Could she really control them?
The One-Tail from Sunagakure in the Land of Wind is incredibly ferocious! She lacked confidence and was about to speak.
However, Uchiha Kō laughed and said, "Don't worry, the quality of our Konoha's Sealing Jutsu is guaranteed, and if the Four-Tails doesn't behave properly, Grandpa will make sure it does."
Son Gokū:...
He didn't say anything unseemly or uncooperative, so why are you slandering me, Uchiha Kō? I'm suing you for defamation!!
