He gained extreme praise from Kisame Hoshigaki who told Itachi he was no easy fight. And given Kisame's track record(Beating Killer Bee, the Samehada thing was pretty dumb)

This is Alive Roshi so no Sharingan or Rinnegan Eyes

Jutsu:

- Flower-Fruit Mountain
While in his transformed state, the user creates a small volcano that explodes violently, sending molten rock flying up in all directions like a giant flower. The heat of the lava is enough to burn tailed beasts as strong as Gyūki.

-Lava Release: Armour
After manifesting one of Son Gokū's tails, Rōshi envelops his entire body in a coating of lava that enhances the damage of his physical attacks. Due to the extreme heat generated by the lava, he is capable of burning the target without coming into direct contact with him.[1] In addition to the offensive damage the armour can inflict, it can also be used for defensive purposes, as it acts as a deterrent towards those who wish to attack the user physically.

-Lava Release: Scorching Armored Fist
Rōshi coats himself in lava and punches the opponent. Even if the punch fails to connect, the intense heat from the lava can still burn his opponent if they're close enough.

-Lava Release: Scorching Stream Rock Technique
The user expels a large amount of lava from their mouth, which quickly solidifies into multiple boulders of molten rock that are fired towards the target with tremendous force. Due to their composition, the boulders can melt through most objects with ease, and because a considerable number are dispersed over a wide range in quick succession, they are also difficult to avoid.

-Monkey Flame Arson
Son Gokū or Rōshi in Tailed Beast Mode spews green flames at the opponent.

He is pretty badass. He literally turns himself into lava.

The fact that he can shroud himself with a cloak of Lava almost makes him pretty resistant to hand to hand combat, And he's a Jinchuuriki so i think that he would be Kage level.

He's good enough to be beaten by kisame n praised that he gave him a hard time. Considering fire is samehada weakness . And kisame butchered bee with ease. I'd say roshi was very talented.

If we're comparing him to the other 8 Jins he's nothing special.

-He wasn't a perfect jin

-Kisame took him down with less difficulty than Killer Bee.

-Naruto, Yagura, Gaara (Maybe) and KB > Roshi
