This astonishing truth once again surprised Kakashi, because even Kakashi could not have imagined that this matter would go in such an amazing and extraordinary direction.

But there is no point in thinking about this now, and finding a way to rescue Talina is the priority.

Now that the eggs are on her own, Talina's life should not be threatened for a short time.

But for a burrowing race that treats humans as food and hates egg stealing, Kakashi doesn't think that this will be the end of it as long as he returns the eggs.

And Kakashi also wanted to capture this Driller Worm for research if he allowed.

If it can really be caught, this is the second creature from another world captured in Konoha Village.

But Kakashi also had some concerns about this thought.

Before that, Tsunade-sama had caught a Mi Go, and put it in Konoha Village for research.

However, later on, the other Mi Gos came to the rescue during the execution, causing heavy casualties in the Daimyo's Mansion, and the three generations of Hokage-sama were removed from the position of acting Hokage.

If you bring back the Drill Worm for research this time, will the Drill Worm's companions attack Konoha Village?

And Kakashi was even more afraid of the King of the Ground-Drilling Worm named Shude Mer, the existence of the Old Dominator.

If this old ruler finds Konoha Village, the terrible consequences will be immeasurable.

So Kakashi was still worried about whether or not to capture this Ground-Drilling Worm.

But in any case, Talina must be saved.

With a decision in his mind, Kakashi immediately put the bamboo basket on his back, and then turned to look at Sasuke in the trio.

"Sasuke, you come with me to rescue Talina."

Although Sasuke also felt great fear in his heart just now, the ninja's adaptability is still very strong, and now only Sakura is the only one in the trio who still looks scared.

And Sasuke's strength as a ninja is currently the strongest among the three shinobi, so Sasuke is a safe choice.

However, Kakashi's decision immediately caused Naruto's displeasure.

"Why Sasuke? I'm going too! ”

"Don't make a fuss!"

Kakashi yelled at Naruto and immediately stopped Naruto.

"That monster has the ability to control minds, and only I have a way to solve it."

"I can only take a maximum of two people to escape, and I can only take one more person apart from Talina, and Sasuke is the best candidate."

"You can protect the villagers here."

With that, Kakashi left with Sasuke.

...

According to the instructions of the village chief, the cave that was not hidden was quickly found by Kakashi.

Before entering the cave, Kakashi told Sasuke, "After you get Talina back, you can leave here quickly with him, and leave me alone." ”

"Got it."

Sasuke didn't ask "what do you do?" like most people, because Sasuke knew that his role was to get Talina out of the cave, which was the only thing he could do.

As for how Kakashi himself got out, Kamishino naturally had an arrangement for Kamishinobi.

Entering the cave, a dry breath came to my face.

Normally caves are cold and damp, but this cave is unusually dry.

Kakashi and Sasuke didn't stop much in this natural cave, and quickly walked through it, finding traces of artificial mining in the depths of the cave, and a narrow passage that extended downward appeared in front of Kakashi's eyes.

Kakashi didn't hesitate and quickly entered it with Sasuke.

The road seemed unusually peaceful, unhindered by anything, and there was no sound in the air except for the footsteps of the two.

Soon, Kakashi found the cave that the village chief had spoken of.

There are no stalactites or stalagmites in this cave, which means that there has never been water here, and the cave is very dry at present.

Wherever the firelight could reach, Kakashi saw some remnants of "green ore" and traces of manual excavation on the top of a boulder.

Presumably, these burrower eggs were dug up here.

As Kakashi and Sasuke carefully observed the marks on the boulder, a chanting-like sound came from behind the rock wall deep in the cavern.

The Driller makes a chant-like sound as it moves underground, which is the only way to discern the Driller's arrival.

With the experience just now, Kakashi was very calm this time, and immediately opened his mouth to remind Sasuke behind him.

"It's coming!"

As the cavern reverberated with a loud sound from the crumbling walls of the cavern in the depths, a large, elongated body pierced through the ledge.

The Driller crawled in front of Kakashi and Sasuke like an ugly serpent, and a voice echoed in Kakashi's heart.

Ovum...

Kakashi knew what this meant, and immediately took off the bamboo basket behind his back and placed it in front of him, then uncovered the white cloth on it.

Underneath the white cloth were patches of spherical ore, which were actually the eggs of the Drill Demon Worm.

As if sensing the presence of these eggs, the tentacles at the front of the Driller Worm twitched like an electric shock.

However, Kakashi did not offer these eggs directly with both hands, but shouted, "Where are the people? ”

Kakashi didn't know if the Driller had ears or not, but since he could speak a language that humans could understand, he should be able to understand what he meant.

In fact, the Driller really understood Kakashi's words.

The Driller's official name is Kertonian, and one of the qualities that can be called "human" is that the Driller is able to understand human language.

The Driller opened the tentacles of the middle part of the front of its body like a flower, and it was Talina who was engulfing it.

Judging from the fact that Talina's size has not changed, Talina has not been sucked by the Driller.

The Driller slowly placed Talina's body on the ground only five meters away from Kakashi and Sasuke, and then slowly retreated its tentacles.

"Sasuke, you 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 time, the Driller's body did not dare to move, because the torch in Kakashi's hand was hanging from the top of the bamboo basket.

Although the eggs at this time are protected by a mineral shell, due to the characteristics of the Drill Demon Worm to carefully protect its offspring, even a little bit of high temperature will not let its children bear it.

From this point of view, the Drill Worm also has the trait of being a "human".

Sasuke's voice quickly faded behind him, and Kakashi glanced at the pitch-black passage behind him, and now he was the only one left.

And just then, another chant came from behind the rock wall.

Faintly, Kakashi felt that this chant was even more majestic than the chant that the Ground-Drilling Demon Worm in front of him had just made.

And as the rock wall pierced, another Ground-Drilling Demon Worm appeared in Kakashi's surprised gaze.

This Driller is more powerful than the previous Driller in terms of size and length, and has twice as many tentacles at the front of its body.

This is the third characteristic of the people of Ketonia who are characterized as "people".

They have the gender of male and female, and will form a family in the broad sense of human society to jointly conceive the next generation.
