In an empty cavern beneath a mountain in the Land of Fire, Xia Yan silently surveyed everything before him.
Kakashi really had not lied. This place could probably be considered a cave.
But as he looked at the pit extending more than a hundred meters underground, especially the traces of its formation, which looked anything but natural, Xia Yan could not help frowning.
