Among them, Rōshi was the most excited and exhilarated!
If an example had to be given, Rōshi's personality was somewhat similar to that of the Kumo Ninja—he was the straightforward type of shinobi!
Ever since childhood,

After becoming a Jinchuriki, he believed even more strongly that he possessed both the duty and the strength to do so!
It was just that the situation in the shinobi world was far too complicated.
The balance of power among the Five Great Shinobi Villages was also prone to disruption. Konoha's strength in particular had once left Rōshi discouraged.

Moreover, Ōnoki's excessive caution at certain times, along with some of his beliefs, greatly displeased Rōshi. In his earlier years, Rōshi had remained away from the village. Unless a major war broke out or there was some critical matter, he almost never returned.

He had always believed that Shōji's goals could not possibly be limited to what he had shown before. Now that his true intentions had been revealed, along with this ambitious and grand plan,
