"Go!" Seeing the rising lava in the distance, Han waved his arm vigorously, signaling the Iwa-nin to surge forward.
Without the Explosive Clay cannons and with their positions destabilized, the Konoha shinobi no longer posed the same threat as before; the Iwa-nin could now engage them as they would any other shinobi.
Before other Iwa-nin arrived, Roshi was already rampaging through the Konoha shinobi's lines.
For a time, there were almost no Konoha shinobi who could stop him; the power of a Jinchuriki was truly terrifying.
Even among bloodline limit clans, those who could contend with him were few and far between.
In previous battles, the Iwa-nin had utilized the immense power of these two Jinchuriki to turn the tide of battle again and again.
To stop them, the Konoha shinobi had to commit more forces.
If not for the excellent quality of the Konoha shinobi themselves, even if one person couldn't stop them, by combining the strength of many, they were still able to hold their ground.
However, the losses incurred were somewhat significant, which could be said to be disadvantageous for the Konoha shinobi forces.
As Jinchuriki, Roshi and Han were naturally viewed with different eyes among the Iwa-nin.
In their youth, they had vowed to make others look at them with new respect in the future.
And in their performance during this war, Roshi and Han's abilities were undoubtedly recognized by many Iwa-nin, and even among the lower ranks, admirers of the two began to appear.
Although Jinchuriki often had a rift with ordinary people due to the tailed beasts, as long as they were human, there was a way to establish connections.
Through their own abilities and self-control, they did not allow people to perceive them as uncontrollable Jinchuriki, but rather became heroes of the battlefield through their outstanding performances.
However, the days of these two Jinchuriki acting with impunity were now over.
A person blocked Roshi's path, and Roshi, who had been charging recklessly without a care, suddenly stopped, looking at the Konoha shinobi in front of him with wary eyes.
The opponent was wearing an ordinary shinobi uniform and had a fan strapped to his back.
"What is this? They even send someone with a severed arm to the field.
Is Konoha out of people?" Roshi originally felt that the opponent's aura was somewhat unusual, but upon seeing that the opponent was only a one-armed man, he couldn't help but feel a bit disdainful.
"To deal with you, one arm is enough," the Konoha shinobi standing in front of Roshi—Uchiha Kagami—replied expressionlessly.
The reason Uchiha Kagami appeared here in the guise of an ordinary shinobi was to mislead the enemy, making them believe he was leading troops elsewhere.
The Iwa-nin had probably received some intelligence about Uchiha Kagami and had not easily chosen to target his supposed location.
And to ensure the capture of the Jinchuriki, the Konoha shinobi had put a lot of effort into intelligence, allowing Uchiha Kagami to stealthily come here and confront the Jinchuriki directly.
It now seemed that the intelligence work was very thorough; the enemy had not detected Uchiha Kagami's true movements and had unknowingly come right to him.
Uchiha Kagami's eyes transformed into the Sharingan state.
He could see the powerful chakra within Roshi's body; was that the power of a Tailed Beast?
It was indeed terrifying.
If he were to discard the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, relying solely on Uchiha Kagami's other abilities, it would probably be impossible to defeat a Jinchuriki.
But fortunately, Uchiha Kagami already possessed the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan.
As long as he had this power, a Jinchuriki was not a difficult enemy to deal with.
"Sharingan? You're from the Uchiha clan?" Roshi's face showed a look of disgust.
"What annoying eyes.
On the battlefield, the people I most want to eliminate are those from the Uchiha clan."
Since Roshi could use a portion of the Tailed Beast's power, he naturally had some verbal communication with the Four-Tails within him.
Due to Onoki's reminder, he also learned about the power of the Sharingan from the Four-Tails' complaints.
However, ordinary Sharingan were not something he took seriously.
"Is that so? Then I hope you can stop me with all your might," Uchiha Kagami said.
"Boastful! Die!" Roshi snorted, his entire body surging with chakra, and he leaped before Uchiha Kagami with lightning speed.
Uchiha Kagami's eyes changed once again, transforming into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Roshi saw it clearly, and before he could even utter the words "What," the power of Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyo Sharingan surged into his spiritual world.
Uchiha Kagami did not choose to cast a genjutsu space on Roshi.
His true target was the Tailed Beast within Roshi.
Tailed Beasts had always shown little resistance to Mangekyo Sharingan-level genjutsu, not to mention that Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyo Sharingan itself was of the genjutsu type.
The Four-Tails was controlled by the Mangekyo Sharingan before it could even react.
The massive Tailed Beast chakra immediately went out of control, and Roshi, as the Jinchuriki, was also affected by this loss of control.
The originally stable Tailed Beast chakra became chaotic, and Roshi's own power clashed with the Tailed Beast's power, causing him to fall from the sky to the ground as if suffering a backlash.
Uchiha Kagami took a deep breath, closing his right eye.
A faint pain emanated from his right eye; even with the Mangekyo Sharingan, controlling a Tailed Beast came at a certain cost.
Genjutsu that controlled others always required the user's own power and was a method that consumed a lot of chakra.
If used for a long time, one also had to pay attention to one's own recovery.
Watching Roshi struggle on the ground, with the Tailed Beast's chakra slowly expanding, Uchiha Kagami knew that it was now a struggle between their forces.
If Roshi were to go all out, relaxing his own restrictions and directly letting the Tailed Beast rampage, although he could still calm it down with the Mangekyo Sharingan, it might cause unnecessary casualties and would also lead to greater self-depletion.
"Go," Uchiha Kagami called out, and the Konoha shinobi waiting nearby immediately rushed forward, applying sealing techniques and other methods to Roshi.
At the same time, Uchiha Kagami used his Mangekyo Sharingan to stabilize the Four-Tails' spirit within Roshi.
When the Tailed Beast chakra disappeared, Roshi, who had suffered a backlash due to the internal conflict, no longer had the strength to retaliate and was captured by the others.
No one had ever thought that a formidable Jinchuriki would be so vulnerable when facing a Mangekyo Sharingan user.
If it were just Roshi himself, facing the Mangekyo Sharingan's genjutsu, he might not have been defeated so miserably.
A perfect Jinchuriki, with body and mind united, could mutually stimulate each other, thereby rendering genjutsu ineffective as long as both were not controlled at the same time by the Mangekyo Sharingan's genjutsu.
And if Roshi didn't have a Tailed Beast within him, as long as his genjutsu resistance was sufficient, he might not have been utterly defenseless against a non-genjutsu type Mangekyo Sharingan—like Uchiha Sasuke's.
But Roshi possessed neither of these qualities.
He could only simply use the Tailed Beast's power, and their body and mind were not unified.
Roshi had no ability to influence the Tailed Beast's chakra, and Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyo Sharingan itself was not something Roshi could contend with.
Thus, the Jinchuriki, who appeared formidable in the eyes of others, collapsed like a weak infant, surrendering without a fight.
Seeing that dealing with a Jinchuriki was so easy, Uchiha Kagami was also somewhat surprised.
He suddenly felt that it might truly be possible to take down the other Jinchuriki as well, as long as the opponent hadn't received intelligence and he moved quickly enough.
