In hour all four clones of Finn had searched the volcanoes and found nothing. There was no human activities, no abnormal things, nothing but deserted.
"Dammit, where the hell is Roshi?" Finn felt little frustrated. This was the first time his knowledge about Naruto was not helping him. Finn was completely sure that he would find Roshi in one of those places.
.
"Now where I should find Roshi?" Finn rubbed his chin with his index and thumb fingers. After a long thinking, Finn decided to go with the old way.
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Thousands clones of Finn appeared in the air, all of the clones had Azure Dragon wings on their. From the ground, one would say that the sky was filled with angels.
.
"Go in every direction. Use transformation Jutsu and then search for Roshi. Ask any people you meet about Roshi. When you find information about Roshi or Roshi himself then release the clone jutsu after placing a teleportation mark. I will get the information in my mind and I come to that place. Also use Tenseigan if it is necessary." With the real Finn's order every clone changed their appearance than flew away in different directions.
.
Meanwhile in Onoki office.....
Ōnoki was a very short, old man with a triangular beard and a moustache that had angular corners, a big red nose and thick eyebrows. The top of his head was completely bald, although, he had long white hair on the lower-half of his head which is styled in a traditional chonmage haircut, the back of which was tied with a yellow ribbon into a topknot. Ōnoki wore a split apart green coat divided into four sections with yellow trimmings, and a red collar. Underneath he wore the traditional Iwagakure outfit consistent of a light green version of Iwagakure flak jacket and mesh armour. He however had both his sleeves of his shirt, but kept the single lapel on his right side. Along with this, he wore sandals.
.
"What is hell is happening?" Onoki already had got the new about a flying angels in the Land of Earth.
"What angel, that's bullshit! I think it must be the Devil Asura of Konoha. But what he is doing in our territory?" Currently Onoki and the village clan heads were having a urgent meeting. At first Onoki was furious after knowing that Finn had dared to enter their territory but after knowing about thousands of clones of Finn, Onoki understood that he or anyone from his stone cannot fight with Finn.
.
"But as long as he exhaust his chakra then I am sure we can take him out." Onoki grinned thinking that he Finn would soon run out of Chakra after using 1000 shadow clones. One have to know it takes a lot for a average ninja to maintain a clone and using to many clones could have affect on mental health. So Finn using 1000 clones means that Finn mental health and chakra reserve will be affected and that would be the perfect time to kill him.
.
"But why did Finn came to our territory?" Onoki wondered. But then a ninja sent a emergency message to Onoki.
"Lord Onoki, the clones of Finn has been asking about Roshi."
"what??" After hearing and knowing that Finn is after their national Treasure everyone including Onoki became tense. One had to know that Roshi or more accurately the Four tails was their most powerful weapon against any village. The reason Onoki openly dared to fight multiple village at the same time is because of Roshi's mastered tailed beast powers. But Onoki didn't use Roshi against Konoha because he feared Roshi would stand no chance against a teleport user.
.
"Quickly send message to Roshi and tell him to hide and suppress his chakra." Onoki panicked. Onoki cannot let Finn find Roshi. Once Finn finds Roshi, the village of Rocks will be greatly weakened. Ono sat down and began to think.
Suddenly an idea came to his mind."This might be our chance of killing Finn? Since Finn had came to our territory and roaming freely then we can't we use this golden opportunity to kill him?"
.
"Lord Onoki, you mean?"
"We give false information to Finn and lead him to a location where our ninjas would ambush him." Onoki seemed to be forgotten something. One of the council member smiled bitterly and remained Onoki something he forgot.
"Lord Onoki, you must have not forgotten how Finn slaughtered more than 15,000 cloud shinobi in a single fight and that was months ago. Who knows how powerful now Finn has become. I heard that recently he has been traveling outside. Maybe he is just using this chance to get even stronger."
.
Sigh!
Onoki understood that his decision could have caused their village to suffer a lot. "I was too impulsive. Let's observe Finn for now. Tell Roshi to keep hiding. Let's wait for few hours then we will attack him. Few should be enough to exhaust his chakra reserve." Onoki wanted to strike Finn. It didn't mattered if Finn escaped by using teleportation jutsu. Onoki wanted to show the world that he and his village would not tolerate any intruder even if the intruder is Finn.
.
_______Back to Finn
"Those idiots." Finn already had seen what Onoki and the hidden rock ninjas was trying to do. While searching, Finn's clones has been constantly using Tenseigan meaning nothing could escape his eyes at certain range.
But Finn still kept searching for Roshi. Finn wanted to see what Onoki wanted to do. "Based on personality, he will ambush me at some point."
.
Some rock ninja already had transformed into a normal citizen and had given false information on Roshi. Finn didn't expose them since he was also enjoying the whole game.
"If they want war, then I will give them one. But if Onoki chose peace then I will not lay my hand on anyone." Finn was thinking of finding Roshi and making a deal with him but he didn't expect the whole situation to turn this way.
.
With 1000 of shadow clones and using a Dojutsu that can see kilometers just by using it once, it didn't take long for Finn to find Roshi.
"I was starting to believe that Roshi is not even in the Land of Earth but it turned out he was hiding all this time." Finn recalled all of his shadow clones and teleported to Roshi's place.
.
Rōshi had red hair, moustache and beard which tapered off to a point. He was shown wearing a large headpiece consisting of a three pointed crown-like ridge, bearing both his Iwagakure forehead protector, a ring, and a prominent black piece of armour running across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. He wore a long-sleeved magenta kimono shirt and pants, with mesh-armour shirt and fitted black suit underneath, along with calf-length sandals. Around his waist he wore a brown sash that held a brown armour-like breast plate with a pouch in the front, a brown back plate on the back that is connected to the front with mesh armour, and armoured lapels falling to the sides. Interestingly, his headpiece, hair and beard seemed to model his tailed beast.
.
Earlier, Onoki had ordered him to hide as a enemy was trying to find him and capture him. Roshi became angry knowing after someone wanted to capture him. Roshi suppressed his angry and did as Onoki told him to do.
"How the hell did you even find me?" Roshi couldn't help but ask after seeing Finn standing in front of him.
"And here I thought I could surprise you."
