Although Roshi and Onoki didn't get along and bickered constantly in their daily lives,
at this very moment, Roshi understood perfectly clearly in his heart that this time, he had completely fallen flat.
After all, he too deeply loved this village. Even knowing full well that he did not have long to live, he could not allow Onoki to die here.
Thinking of this, the magma that was already scorching hot on Roshi's body seemed to be stimulated, its temperature suddenly soaring, becoming even more searing.
Roshi quietly shot Onoki a look, without making a sound. That gaze contained countless meanings.
When Onoki saw this, an indescribably complicated expression flashed across his face in an instant.
While the two of them were communicating in secret, not far away, Han and Fugaku had already been locked in fierce combat for quite some time.
Seeing so many changes happen over here, Fugaku was barely holding on, his body already pushed to its limit.
He did not continue entangling himself with Han, and the two sides pulled apart.
The moment Rengoku looked toward Fugaku, he immediately saw through Fugaku's current condition.
So Rengoku quickly gave Fugaku a look, signaling him to retreat for now.
Fugaku flashed and directly withdrew into the crowd.
He did not make a sound the entire time, all to avoid letting the enemy discover the drawbacks of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Han hurried over to Roshi's side, his gaze falling on the shocking hole in Roshi's chest.
His heart trembled violently, and an indescribable grief surged up instantly.
"Roshi…"
Although he and Roshi could not be called inseparable, their relationship had always been fairly good.
Seeing Roshi on the brink of death, about to die, a wave of sour sadness and pain welled up in Han's heart.
Roshi shook his head with difficulty, as if trying to stop Han from continuing.
After taking two ragged breaths, "Don't say any more, Han… this is my fate… The Uchiha clan of Konoha really has produced an incredible figure."
At the same time, Rengoku turned his head to look toward Fugaku in the distance. Fugaku's face was pale as paper, his eyes streaming with blood tears.
His body trembled slightly from the intense pain.
Fugaku had kept the Mangekyo Sharingan activated for a very long time.
And over the past few years, he had frequently used his pupil techniques for various deductions and projections, resulting in his remaining pupil power now being pitifully little.
However, in order not to let the enemies of Iwagakure notice that the Mangekyo Sharingan carried the risk of blindness, Fugaku endured the pain and clenched his teeth, stubbornly holding on.
By comparison, Rengoku not only possessed pupil power far surpassing Fugaku's, he also mastered the mysterious and profound Kagura Mind's Eye technique, giving him perception abilities far beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, as far as the conditions of everyone present were concerned, Rengoku could grasp everything completely with just a single glance.
At this moment, the reason he stood quietly in place without moving was not because of fear or hesitation.
Rather, he wanted to see what tricks Roshi, gravely wounded as he was, could still pull.
Just then, a Hyuga clan ninja hurried over to Rengoku's side, lowered his voice, and quickly said a few words into his ear.
Rengoku nodded slightly to show he understood, then waved his hand, signaling the ninja to withdraw.
What the Hyuga clansman told Rengoku was that the chakra inside Roshi's body was in a highly condensed state, and that he should be careful.
Highly condensed states were usually things like Tailed Beast Bombs.
The current Roshi was precisely in such a highly condensed state, which undoubtedly meant that he was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
There was no way to go over there, and Rengoku had no need for someone to lie on a mine with their own body.
"Stop wasting time reminiscing. I don't have the leisure to fool around with you."
Seeing Roshi and Han still lingering over their farewell, Rengoku's expression turned cold as he violently pulled his hands apart to either side.
An enormous Yasaka Magatama instantly appeared in his palms.
Compared to those he had thrown before, this Yasaka Magatama was shockingly huge.
With a shrill tearing sound through the air, Rengoku did not hesitate at all and viciously hurled the gigantic Yasaka Magatama out.
At the same time, Roshi let out an earth-shaking roar like a tiger's.
Even though he was already gravely wounded and on the brink of death, it was as if he wanted to bloom with the most dazzling afterglow in the final moment of his life.
In an instant, the chakra level inside his body surged violently like a volcanic eruption.
"Everyone, retreat now!"
Roshi roared at the top of his lungs.
Immediately after, his hands suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Then he quickly bent down, plunging both hands straight into the hard ground.
"Lava Release, Lava Hell!"
At that very moment, the Yasaka Magatama thrown by Rengoku also slammed heavily into Roshi like a falling meteor.
With a dull, massive "boom," Roshi's body was blown apart in an instant into countless scalding fragments of magma, shooting out in all directions.
The exploded magma fell like rain, scattering everywhere, with quite a lot splashing directly onto the ground.
The originally solid earth was melted in the blink of an eye into a vast sea of blazing magma.
The scorching, oppressive waves of heat rolled over them, curling the hair of everyone nearby from the heat.
And this magma-filled area was still continuously spreading and expanding outward.
"Spread out!"
Rengoku swung his arm and shouted loudly.
With that shout, everyone retreated in all directions like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, they had all left the area.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the entire earth were trembling.
The rumbling "boom! boom! boom!" was unending, like rolling thunder crashing in waves.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw that a gigantic ape covered head to toe in fiery red fur was slowly rising up from the scorching magma.
This ape was incomparably massive, like a towering mountain reaching into the clouds.
Once it stood upright, it was over fifty meters tall, and behind it grew four tails like octopus tentacles.
Those tails constantly whipped and swayed through the air, stirring up waves of searing hot currents.
Rengoku stared fixedly at the Son Goku before him, while continuously sucking powerful pupil power from his main body.
When the pupil power gathered to a certain degree, he suddenly glared fiercely at Son Goku.
In an instant, a bolt of pupil power shot out like lightning.
With a dull "thud!" Son Goku was like someone who had drunk too much.
His body swayed uncontrollably, his steps staggering and unsteady, as if he might collapse to the ground at any moment.
At the same time, Onoki, standing not far away, saw this and clasped his hands together without hesitation.
"Dust Release, Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
A dazzling white beam of light instantly burst forth from between his hands.
