Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 203 The Unexpected 'Enemy'

Since the enemy's intelligence had not been detected before, Xia Shu did not continue to investigate blindly, and prepared to hand over this matter to professional personnel.

"Qingyan, you return to Matsuzaka City immediately, and tell Mirage to come over immediately."

Reconnaissance is Mirage's specialty. Presumably with her ability, she can obtain enemy intelligence more easily than herself and Kakashi.

"Yes, Captain."

Qingyan nodded steadily, turned around and ran in the direction of Songban City.

Soon after, Qingyan returned with Mirage Light and joined Xia Shu.

After Xia Shu briefly explained the information and Mirage just now, he asked expectantly: "Huanguang, can you find out where the enemy is hiding?"

"let me try."

Mirage did not give an affirmative reply. Panxi sat on the ground, quickly forming a mudra with his hands, and a weak chakra wave penetrated into the ground.

After entering the underground space, the chakra used for perception spreads deep along the passage inside, and does not stop until the limit distance that can be controlled by resisting phantom light.

After finishing the release of the secret technique, the slightly tired Mirage opened his eyes and said to the three people who were waiting for the answer: "I didn't find any trace of the enemy, but at a depth of 300 meters underground, I found a super large space. It's a pity that I I can't go deeper into the secret technique, and I have no way of knowing what will be inside."

"Is it 300 meters underground... It's really troublesome..."

Digging out a huge space at a depth of 300 meters underground is not an easy task even for a ninja. It seems that this task is much more complicated than Xia Shu imagined.

"Huanguang, can you draw the topographic map of the underground space?"

With a new discovery, Xia Shu naturally didn't want to let it go easily, and hoped that Mirage could draw a picture of the detected situation, so that he could make a plan for the next step.

"No problem, just five minutes."

Mirage nodded, took out the drawing board and other tools from the sealed scroll, and started drawing like lightning.

After only 3 minutes, an intricate, labyrinth-like underground space appeared on the drawing paper.

Mirage pointed to the largest spherical area under the drawing paper, and explained to Xia Shu: "Captain, this is the area that I cannot explore."

"Thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to me."

After letting Mirage rest aside, Xia Shu picked up the drawing paper and watched it carefully. After remembering the route to the giant space, he turned to Kakashi and Qingyan and said: "You two take care of Mirage, I will Go down and check it out yourself."

"Captain, let me go with you."

Kakashi, who is strong as a jounin, was extremely vigilant against the hidden enemies after the shadow clone was instantly killed by an unknown enemy. Seeing that Natsuki was going to act alone, he was naturally worried and wanted to enter with him. When it comes to danger, it is good to have someone to take care of you.

"No need, too many people who go in will be easily exposed. Don't worry, even if I lose, I can escape safely."

Natsuki smiled and rejected Kakashi's request, jumped into the dark crypt.

After landing, Xia Shu turned on the flashlight, and carefully ran towards the depths of the passage according to the route he had memorized just now.

As Xia Shu went deeper, gusts of cold wind mixed with a stench came from the passage, making Xia Shu's face bitter, and he couldn't help frowning.

Suppressing the stench, Xia Shu gradually approached the huge space marked by the phantom light.

To his surprise, there was no trace of man-made excavation, but a huge natural cave.

On the wall of the cave, there are scattered fluorescent stones emitting a faint halo, strange stalagmite tips, and drops of clear water dripping down from time to time, gathering below to form a small pool.

At the same time, Xia Shu was also at the edge of the pool, and found the existence of an 'enemy' who might be it.

A dozen or so two-meter-tall giant gray ants surrounded a three-meter-high dark ant with a shell like steel, fighting with five seven or eight-meter-long giant pythons.

Although the giant python has an advantage in size, it is obviously inferior to the ant army in terms of combat effectiveness.

The feet of the ants firmly grasped the gray body of the giant python, and spit out the highly corrosive mutant formic acid from their mouths, destroying the scale defense of the giant pythons, tearing out deep visible lines on their bodies. Bone scars.

The bloody pythons roared frequently in fear and anger, and kept spinning and rolling, trying to shake off the ants that were grabbing them, but with little success.

Under the scrambling attack of the army of ants, the giant pythons were soon dying and were eaten up by the ants.

Witnessing the battle between the two sides, Xia Shu also roughly figured out the strength of the ant army.

Ordinary gray ants have about the strength of Chunin to elite Chunin, and the three darker ones have reached the strength of special Jounin.

As for the dark ant at the head, although it is not the previously guessed Phantom-level strength, it also has the strength of an elite ninja. Coupled with its huge size and hard shell, it is enough to make ordinary Phantom-level ninjas feel troublesome.

When the battle here ended, Natsuki, who had been hiding his breath, left quietly without disturbing them, and returned to the ground to join Kakashi and others.

"Captain, what's the situation inside? Did you spot the enemy?"

Seeing Xia Shu's safe return, the recovered Mirage immediately greeted him, impatiently inquiring about the situation below.

After taking two breaths of fresh air, Xia Shu nodded and explained, "Yes, the enemy is hiding there, but the enemy is not human beings, but a group of mutated ants."

"It's actually an ant ninja, no wonder it lives under the ground."

After listening to Xia Shu's words, Qingyan suddenly realized, and then asked: "How strong are they, can we solve them?"

"There are fifteen ant ninjas in total, including one elite jnin, three special jnin, and a total of eleven cunin and elite cunin."

I don't know what kind of adventure I got, it was able to transform such a huge number of ants into ninja beasts.

No wonder the Konoha team with the Jonin captain disappeared later on. Even Natsuki would suffer a lot from the attacks of the ants if he was unprepared.

Qing Yan, who fell silent, analyzed the strength comparison between the enemy and us, and suggested to Xia Shu: "Captain, our current strength is not enough to deal with the enemy, do we need to seek reinforcements?"

Xia Shu would naturally not be afraid if he just acted alone, but if he had to take care of Qingyan and Mirage, who were not strong in battle, he would not be able to let go of his hands and feet to fight the enemy. At that time, Team Dragon might suffer heavy losses.

In order to complete the task satisfactorily, Xia Shu immediately agreed to Qing Yan's proposal without thinking too much.

"Okay, just do as you said, after the reinforcements arrive, completely wipe out this group of ninja beasts."
