Ryun Uchiha looked at the stubborn Rōshi before him and could not help but sneer coldly. "Eight years ago, I let you go in the Land of Earth. Now, you are so ungrateful, injuring my villagers. I tell you, this time, even if Ōnoki comes, you still have to die."
"You, you are being unreasonable. I came here to help you." Rōshi felt somewhat guilty now.
"Help us? Help us reduce the number of combat capable shinobi? Do you think your status as the Four-Tails Jinchūriki is so noble? That you cannot die, which allows you to recklessly reach out against innocent Konoha shinobi?" Ryun's words hit the mark, making Rōshi's heart beat wildly.
Ryun did not intend to waste words. His golden Rinnegan appeared. He placed one hand on Rōshi's head. Rōshi's face was filled with horror. What kind of eyes are these? Damn it, why do I feel a powerful sense of crisis.
"Do not be nervous. I just want to read the memories and thoughts in your mind. Rinnegan Ocular Technique, Mind Reading!" Golden chakra emerged from Ryun's hand, covering Rōshi's head. This technique could read the memories in the brain.
Rōshi let out a cry of agony, then calmed down. Ryun closed his eyes tightly, projecting his consciousness into Rōshi's memories.
Rōshi: "No! I am going. No one stop me." Immediately after, he charged wildly towards the Konoha battlefield.
"Rōshi, are you really going to help Konoha, right?" Son Gokū asked Rōshi once more in his heart.
"Hmph, help them? I might as well just join the Cloud and Mist battlefield directly!" A flame of hatred flashed in Rōshi's eyes. He had not forgotten the humiliation Ryun Uchiha dealt him during the Second Great Shinobi War. For him to help Konoha was impossible, absolutely impossible!
"No, Rōshi, I think you should reconsider. You need to know that Konoha and Iwagakure cannot afford to provoke them! You cannot afford it, I cannot afford it. Once you do this, there is no turning back!" Son Gokū was frustrated.
"Son Gokū, are you scared?" Rōshi provoked.
Son Gokū was stunned. Damn it, you do not understand human language, right? Fine, I will not speak anymore. Do whatever you want!
Son Gokū did not answer. Instead, he blocked out Rōshi's thoughts. Whatever, I am tired. You can mess around however you want. Anyway, when the time comes, I will not be the one suffering. You forgot the fate of the Six-Tails Jinchūriki, Utakata, but I still remember.
At worst, I will just find a new host then. What a foolish thing!
Rōshi also noticed that Son Gokū no longer responded. He snorted coldly and headed towards the Konoha battlefield.
Cloud and Mist shinobi were wreaking havoc in a small village. Five hundred shinobi dispatched from Konoha were fighting two hundred Cloud and Mist shinobi there. They crossed blades, clashed with ninjutsu, fighting so fiercely it darkened the heavens and earth.
Rōshi, hiding in the shadows, mocked, "Is that all? Konoha shinobi are nothing special. Let me, Rōshi, lend you a hand!" As he spoke, he prepared to take action.
Haha, it was not that the Konoha shinobi were incompetent. It was because this location was within the Land of Fire. They could not bear to destroy the village's buildings or any plant or tree, so they were using ordinary means to engage the Cloud and Mist shinobi.
The Cloud and Mist shinobi were well aware of this. To a certain extent, the Konoha army having their hands tied was very advantageous for them. The other side dared not use large scale offensive ninjutsu, so it was only one versus two or one versus one, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Cloud and Mist shinobi.
However, because the Konoha forces adopted this fighting method, it also bought time for the villagers. Those villagers supported each other as they left the village, heading towards Konoha to seek protection.
The next moment.
Rōshi activated Lava Release Chakra Mode, standing in the air. "Lava Release, Volcanic Rock Jutsu!" He then spat out multiple magma balls from his mouth, specifically aiming at crowded areas. The high temperature magma forced all shinobi to stop attacking and start evading.
But how could Rōshi let people escape so easily? He looked at the shinobi from Kumogakure, then at the Konoha shinobi. A wicked thought suddenly sprouted in his heart. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could keep them all here?
But he did not see that the leading jōnin of the five hundred shinobi army, after dodging the previous attack, immediately fled the battlefield and took out his BB machine. "Calling for support, calling for support. The Four-Tails Jinchūriki has appeared above Qingxin Village. He is performing large scale Lava Release ninjutsu. Civilian houses are being destroyed. Our shinobi are also suffering heavy casualties. Requesting support! Over."
Just as he finished reporting, a magma ball shot towards him. He was stunned, then threw the BB machine far away. Immediately after, his entire body was enveloped by the Volcanic Rock Jutsu. He was utterly annihilated, not even a scream uttered.
Furthermore, the fallen BB machine transmitted Hashirama Senju's voice, "Hello, hello, can you hear me? Evacuate immediately, evacuate immediately!" Hashirama Senju, currently in Konoha, urgently commanded. He gritted his teeth. He did not expect the Four-Tails Jinchūriki to appear halfway. His first thought was to have the army evacuate, not looking for trouble.
However, Rōshi picked up the BB machine. He smiled, then pressed a button and said, "Idiot."
Hashirama Senju was stunned. He looked at his younger brother, Tobirama Senju, beside him. "He, what did he call me?"
"Um, probably, possibly, if I heard correctly, it was 'idiot'?" Tobirama Senju was somewhat hesitant. He glanced at Hashirama Senju, then turned his head away.
Hashirama Senju's face darkened. "Second brother, you guard the home. I will go deal with him." After speaking, Hashirama Senju directly charged towards the army's direction.
Son Gokū was stunned. Why did that voice sound so familiar? It seemed like that guy's? Impossible, right! It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
"Hey hey hey, Rōshi, get away quickly. The voice from the walkie-talkie just now sounded like Hashirama Senju's. You not only massacred all the shinobi in the village, but also called the God of Shinobi an idiot. If you do not run now, it will be too late!"
"Run? Run from what? So what if it's Hashirama Senju? What's so great about him? Doesn't he also have one head, two hands, and two legs?" Rōshi was already arrogant now. In this short while, he had killed over seven hundred shinobi and was already bloodlusted.
"Madman, ah, Rōshi, how could I end up with such a stupid guy like you!" Son Gokū had already started panicking furiously. However, the next second, the great Buddha had already rushed over, quietly stopping in front of the Four-Tails Jinchūriki Rōshi.
Seeing this scene, Son Gokū thought, "It's over, it's over, it's over it's over it's over it's over. Can I confess everything now and sever ties with Rōshi, Brother Hashirama~"
Rōshi looked up at the great Buddha, his lips curling into a smirk. "Haha, it's just a larger wooden frame. What can it do to me!" After speaking, Rōshi performed Lava Release, Volcanic Rock Jutsu!
Huge magma balls shot towards Hashirama Senju's great Buddha as if they were free. I have magma, you have wood. Aren't you asking for death? Rōshi sneered inwardly. What God of Shinobi, what Hashirama Senju, all are just false reputations, false reputations!!!!
However, Hashirama Senju coldly glanced at him. He clapped his hands together. "Wood Release, Wood Dragon Jutsu!" A wooden dragon materialized out of thin air. Its movements were swift, catching all the magma balls. Then, its entire body burning, it tore and bit towards Rōshi.
"Damn it! Son Gokū, help me! Son Gokū!" Rōshi urgently called for support. However, the Four-Tails Son Gokū blocked all his messages, silently watching everything. Help you? Am I crazy to help you? Even the Nine-Tails was dealt with in one slap. What do you think I have more than him?
Seeing that Son Gokū was so unrighteous, Rōshi took a deep breath. "Lava Release, Granite!" A protective layer formed from Lava Release chakra covered his body surface.
However, the moment the wooden dragon charged up, only a cracking sound was heard. The protective layer shattered. Rōshi let out a cry of agony and was sent flying. Just as he prepared to use this force to leave the battlefield.
A giant hand pressed towards him, blocking all his vision. Rōshi's face immediately turned ashen. Damn it, how fierce is this guy! Why can he achieve this level? Is he even human?
Hashirama Senju paid him no mind. The great Buddha grabbed Rōshi and then smashed him onto the ground. Thud!
The earth shattered, creating a crater. Rōshi lay in the center of the crater, having lost all ability to resist. He vomited blood. Terror, great terror. This was the most terrifying enemy he had encountered since birth.
However, Hashirama Senju did not intend to stop. He then punched down repeatedly, five punches in total. Rōshi's life force grew weaker and weaker, almost dead, before he stopped.
"Four-Tails, I know you are there. Heal him. Do not let him die. Otherwise, when you revive later, I will personally come find you."
Hashirama Senju's words made the Four-Tails Son Gokū shudder. He quickly circulated tailed beast chakra, allowing Rōshi's barely alive body to slowly recover.
Hashirama Senju dispelled the great Buddha. Then, with one hand, he performed a quick sealing technique, attaching it to Rōshi's abdomen.
Afterwards, he lifted him up with one hand, his expression unfriendly, and walked towards Konoha.
The scene ended here.
Ryun Uchiha released his hand, opened his eyes, and looked mockingly at Rōshi. Rōshi was now foaming at the mouth, making unintelligible sounds.
"Trash, you only have the courage to kill my Konoha shinobi because of this Lava Release and Son Gokū. Today, I will make you lose your trump card and die slowly," Ryun said calmly.
"Hatake Sakumo, go to the Uchiha household. Find Izuna and Pakura and tell them Ryun Uchiha has a big gift for them."
"Yes! Hokage-sama, I will go immediately!" Hatake Sakumo flashed away and left the prison, heading towards the Uchiha household.
In less than five minutes, Hatake Sakumo, Izuna Uchiha, and Pakura arrived at the prison.
Ryun Uchiha saw the three and smiled. He looked at Izuna. "Grandfather, regarding this Four-Tails beast, I said before I would give it to Miss Pakura. You be the witness."
Izuna Uchiha smiled. "Thank you."
Pakura was stunned. She had just joined Konoha, and they were treating her so well? And a tailed beast? Could she really control it?
The One-Tail in the Land of Wind's Sunagakure was very violent! She lacked confidence and was about to speak.
However, Ryun Uchiha smiled and said, "Do not worry. The quality of Konoha's sealing techniques is guaranteed. Moreover, if the Four-Tails does not behave with dignity, Grandfather will help him behave with dignity."
Son Gokū: ...
He did not say he would not be dignified or uncooperative. Why are you slandering me, Ryun Uchiha? I accuse you of slander!!
