And Kakashi also wants to capture this earth-boring demon insect for research if allowed.
If it can really be caught, this will be the second creature from another world captured by Konoha Village.
But Kakashi also had some concerns about this idea.
Before this, Lady Tsunade had captured a Mi Go and put it in Konoha Village for research.
However, other Mi Go came to the rescue during the execution, causing heavy casualties in the Daming Mansion. As a result, the Third Hokage was removed from the position of Acting Hokage.
If the Earth-Drilling Bug is brought back for research this time, will the Earth-Drilling Bug's companions attack Konoha Village?
And what Kakashi is even more afraid of is the king of earth-burrowing demon insects named Shude Mel, who is the existence of the old ruler.
If this Old Dominator found the Leaf Village, the dire consequences would be immeasurable.
Therefore, Kakashi still had concerns about whether to capture this earth-boring demonic insect.
But no matter what, Talina must be saved.
Having made up his mind, Kakashi immediately put the bamboo basket on his back and then turned to look at Sasuke among the trio.
"Sasuke, come with me to rescue Talina."
Although Sasuke felt great fear in his heart just now, the ninja's ability to adapt is still very strong. Now among the three of them, Sakura is the only one who still looks scared.
Moreover, Sasuke's strength as a ninja is currently the strongest among the three genin, so Sasuke is a safe choice.
However, Kakashi's decision immediately caused Naruto's dissatisfaction.
"Why Sasuke? I'm going too!"
"Stop making trouble!"
Kakashi yelled at Naruto, immediately silencing him.
"That monster has the ability to control the mind, and only I have the means to unlock it."
"I can only take up to two people to escape by myself. Besides Talina, I can only take up to one more person, and Sasuke is the best candidate."
"You can just protect the villagers here."
After that, Kakashi took Sasuke and left.
...
According to the instructions of the village chief, Kakashi quickly found the cave which was not hidden.
Before entering the cave, Kakashi told Sasuke: "After you rescue Talina later, you will take him out of here quickly and leave me alone."
"knew."
Sasuke didn't ask "What do you do?" like most people do, because Sasuke knew that his role was to take Talina out of the cave, and this was the only thing he could do.
As for how Kakashi himself can escape, the Jonin will naturally have his own arrangements.
Entering the cave, a dry breath hit my face.
Normal caves are cold and damp, but this cave is unusually dry.
Kakashi and Sasuke didn't stay long in this natural cave. They quickly passed through this section and found traces of artificial mining deep in the cave. A narrow passage extending downward appeared in Kakashi's cave. In front of you.
Kakashi didn't hesitate and quickly led Sasuke into it.
It seemed to be unusually peaceful along the way, without any obstruction. There was even no other sound in the air except for the footsteps of the two of them.
Soon, Kakashi found the cave that the village chief mentioned.
There are no stalactites or stalagmites in this cave that are common in most caves, indicating that there has never been water here, and the cave is currently very dry.
Where the firelight could shine, Kakashi saw some remnants of "green ore" and traces of manual excavation on the top of a boulder.
Presumably these earth-boring demon insect eggs were dug up here.
Just as Kakashi and Sasuke were carefully observing the marks on the boulder, a voice similar to chanting came from behind the rock wall deep in the cave.
The earth-boring insects will make a chant-like sound when moving underground. This is the only way to identify the arrival of the earth-boring insects.
With the previous experience, Kakashi acted very calmly this time and immediately spoke to remind Sasuke behind him.
"coming!"
As the huge sound of the rock wall breaking deep in the cave echoed in the cave, a huge long body broke through the rock shelf.
The earth-boring demon crawled in front of Kakashi and Sasuke like an ugly giant snake, and at the same time a voice echoed in Kakashi's heart.
egg...
Kakashi knew what this meant, and immediately took off the bamboo basket from behind and put it in front of him, then uncovered the white cloth on it.
Under the white cloth, there are pieces of spherical ore, which are actually the eggs of the earth-boring demon insect.
As if sensing the presence of these eggs, the front tentacles of the earth-boring demon worm twitched like an electric shock.
However, Kakashi did not directly offer these insect eggs with his hands, but shouted: "Where are the people?"
Kakashi didn't know if the Earth-Drilling Demonic Bug had ears, but since it could express language that humans could understand, it should be able to understand what he meant.
In fact, the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect really understood what Kakashi said.
The official name of the earth-burrowing bug is the Ketonian, and one of the characteristics that can call it a "human" is that the earth-burrowing bug can understand human language.
The earth-boring demon insect opened the tentacles in the middle part of the front end of the body like a flower blooming, and it was Talina who was trapped inside.
Judging from the fact that Talina's body shape has not changed, Talina has not had her body fluids sucked by the earth-burrowing demon insect.
The earth-boring demon slowly placed Talina's body on the ground only five meters away from Kakashi and Sasuke, and then slowly retreated with its tentacles.
"Sasuke, take Talina out of here."
At Kakashi's command, Sasuke quickly jumped forward, picked up Talina's body and left the way he came.
During this period, the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect did not dare to move because the torch in Kakashi's hand was hanging on top of the bamboo basket.
Although the eggs at this time are protected by a mineral shell, due to the characteristics of the earth-boring devil insects to carefully protect their offspring, even a little bit of high temperature will not be tolerated by their children.
From this point of view, the Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect also has the characteristics of being a "human being".
Sasuke's voice quickly disappeared behind him, and Kakashi glanced at the dark passage behind him, and now he was the only one left.
At this moment, another chanting sound came from behind the rock wall.
Faintly, Kakashi felt that this chanting sound was more majestic than the chanting sound made just now by the earth-boring demonic insect in front of him.
And as the rock wall broke through, another earth-boring demonic insect appeared in Kakashi's surprised eyes.
This earth-boring demon insect is more majestic in both size and length than the previous earth-boring demon insect, and the number of tentacles at the front of its body is doubled.
This is the third quality that characterizes the Ctonians as "human beings".
They have male and female genders, and form families in a broad sense of society to jointly give birth to the next generation.
