Chapter 4

A whole day of travelling has left the squads exhausted. So they set up camp for the night in a huge field. Shino was not impressed that Kiba tried to fit Akamaru into the tent. Being a huge dog he would take up nearly the whole tent. And who wants to sleep next to dog breath.

Hinata would give anything to sleep in the same tent as Naruto. But they all slept with their squads. As they all slept, Sasuke was looking at them from afar. He couldn't go anywhere unless they did. So he kicked back and slept for a while.

In the morning, Sakura woke up and saw that Naruto wasn't there. She looked outside of the tent and saw he was sitting outside. "Hey Naruto, its not like you to be up early" Sakura joked sitting next to him.

"I couldn't sleep, I'm too excited to see this village!"

"And you should be" Jaraiya interrupted coming up behind them. "it's a rare event" he smiled.

"When are we going to get to the original place any way?" Sakura asked.

"Well if we leave now, it should be by dinner" this made Naruto and Sakura jump up and zoom into their tents, taking it down quickly. After they were done everyone did the same. And they all set out. With Sasuke following.

It was around lunchtime. Naruto was practically running telling everyone to keep up. Lee, being the competitive person that he is, was copying Naruto.

They all became really cold coming up to what looks like a frozen waste land. "This place is creepy, lets hurry out of here" Tenten say clinging onto Neji's arm. "This is it" Jaraiya interrupted. Everyone was shocked.

"This is the original place that the village was?" Shikamaru asked in disbelief. "Hard to believe isn't it? This is why the village went into hiding" Jaraiya explained. Some of the girls had tears in their eyes at the sight of the horrible land.

"So what now?" Choji asked walking around. "Well I guess we start looking for some clues" Kiba says jumping on Akamaru's back. They started running off with Shino and Hinata following.

"So what does the scroll say about the village again?" Kakashi asked. "Well it's the village hidden in the ice, it used to be upon"

"Does that mean, that the village is in the ice?" Sakura asks shaking because she is cold. "I'm not sure…just keep looking"

Shikamaru did the thinking sign with his hands. And thought deeply in his head. "In the ice, in the ice" he looked around he stared at the waterfall. "Hmmm…I got it!" Shikamaru shouted which caught everyone's attention.

"Got what?" Ino asks shivering. "Remember what Jaraiya said about this village, it had a waterfall. And the water was the thing that was mainly frozen. Well how come the waterfall is frozen now too" he explained.

"Shikamaru that's the most…" Ino was interrupted. "That's right! Ha! Shikamaru has it!" Jaraiya says joy in his voice. "Come on! To the waterfall" they all headed for it.

As they arrived to the frozen waterfall. They all examined it. "Uh…I don't see a village here" Choji pointed out. "Hmm, maybe its not here…"

All of a sudden Hinata tripped and grabbed a bit of ice sticking out of the waterfall. This opened a secret passage way. Hinata blushed deeply at the fact she tripped in front of everyone. "Way to go Hinata!" Naruto shouted and hugged her. This made her blush even more.

"Come on…before anyone sees" Jaraiya warned. They all entered the ice pathway. Sasuke saw the whole thing. He has a microphone in his ear, and starts to speak through it. "I think I found it…"

"Excellent, send a clone to tell me where you are" Orochimaru replies on the other end. "got it!"…

As the squads slowly walk down the ice pathway, it starts to get darker the more they go on. "This is kinda creepy" Ino says holding Shikamaru's arm. "I wonder how far this goes?" Guy says as he squints his eyes to see if he can see the end of the pathway.

All of a sudden kunai are thrown. "What was that!" Naruto shouted. The sensei looked around. And the next thing they knew they were surrounded by strangely dressed ninja. With long spears. "Ok this is bad" Jaraiya says at their situation.

That's chapter three. Please review nicely.
