Chapter 4

The Wall of Iwagakure

Naruto and Yasuko were now traveling together. They both noticed a faraway mountain range. Both of them didn't know where they were.

"Naruto, did you bring a map?" asked Yasuko.

"Let me check." said Naruto as he was taking off his backpack.

Naruto searched his backpack thoroughly, checking every pocket and every opening for a map of the Land of Fire.

"I found it!" exclaimed Naruto waving the map in the air.

"Let me see. Hm, there's no mountain range shown on the map. Here, you look at it." said Yasuko.

Yasuko handed the map of the Land of Fire back to Naruto.

"Huh? You're right, there isn't a mountain range on this map." said Naruto.

"I say we check it out." said Yasuko.

"Why?" asked Naruto.

"Because I want to see what's behind the mountain range." replied Yasuko.

Then, the two of them began walking in the direction of the mountain range. The road to the mountain range was jagged and difficult to walk through. There were many boulders that were blocking most of the path. They had to be careful going around the boulders because the road was right off a cliff.



While they were still traveling, a boulder was rolling down the side of the road and was heading straight for Naruto.

"Naruto, watch out!" yelled Yasuko.

Naruto braced himself for the impact of the boulder.

"Move out of the way!" said Yasuko as she pushed him out of the way.

"Earth Style; Earth Wall!" said Yasuko as she made a hand seal.

Suddenly, a giant wall made of stone came up out of the ground. The boulder hit the wall and rolled over the side of the cliff.

"What were you doing?! You're not supposed to stand still in a situation like that!" scolded Yasuko.

"That wasn't a boulder." said Naruto.

"What do you mean?! That thing almost…" said Yasuko as she was cut off by Naruto.

"It was a ninja using a transformation jutsu. My guess is that someone doesn't want us to get to the mountain range." said Naruto.

Yasuko looked down the side of the cliff to see a man lying on the ground, unconscious.

"How did you know it was a person." asked Yasuko.

"If you release some chakra into your eyes, you would be able to see through transformations, shadow clones, and a few genjutsu techniques. It's not as powerful as the Byakugan, but it works well enough to sense chakra activity. I learned it at the Academy in Konohagakure." said Naruto.

Both continued their journey to the mountain range. On their way, they encountered many ninja using Earth Style techniques and transformations. Every once in a while, Naruto would create a few shadow clones to keep an eye out for any ninja trying to attack.

"We're here!" yelled Yasuko as they made it to the side of the mountain range.

Naruto examined the side of the mountain range.

"Watch out!" shouted Naruto.

Three ninja came out of the mountain side. All of them drew out a giant boulder from the mountain and threw it at Naruto and Yasuko. Yasuko tried the technique that Naruto explained to her before. She released a small amount of chakra into her eyes. She looked at the boulder and saw two ninja charging at them.

"Naruto, there are two of them!" yelled Yasuko.



Naruto quickly created six shadow clones. Two shadow clones swept the legs of the two ninja. Another four kicked them into the air. The last two appeared in the air in front of the ninja and drop kicked them. The two ninja fell head first into the ground.

"Good job, Naruto. Now it's my turn." said Yasuko.

Yasuko preformed the tiger hand seal.

"Earth Style; Landslide!" shouted Yasuko.

Parts of the mountain side started crumbling and giant boulders were rolling in the direction of the other three ninja. All three were knocked unconscious by large rocks that hit their heads.

"Alright! We did it!" cheered Yasuko.

"Let's get going before other ninja come to get us." said Naruto.

Both of them kept alongside the mountain. The mountain range didn't seem to end. The mountain had pictures on them that looked like they were drawn by children.

"If there are pictures here, then that means there are people around here, and if there are people, then that means that there is a village nearby." said Yasuko.

"Maybe there's a road to a village near the end of the mountain." said Naruto.

Both had been traveling alongside the mountain for about two hours. They hadn't seen a road leading away from the mountain and they were really tired.

"Naruto, wait a second. Let me sit down for a little bit." said Yasuko.

Yasuko sat down on a small rock. Suddenly, the rock sank into the ground. A large opening appeared on the mountain side.

"An opening? Why didn't I realize it before? No wonder we couldn't find the mountain range on the map. We're in the Land of Earth, not the Land of Fire." said Naruto.

"Where are we in the Land of Earth?" asked Yasuko.

"Let me think. I got it! In the Academy, they told us that Iwagakure was hidden inside of a mountain. I also learned that there are several openings around the mountain, leading to Iwagakure. That must've been the way that those ninja appeared out of the ground. They came through one of the tunnels from the village." said Naruto.

"So are we going into the opening?" asked Yasuko.

They went into the opening. They continued until Yasuko tripped on a trap wire. The tunnel was caving in.



"Naruto, my Earth Wall can't stop the rocks from crushing us! What are we going to do?!" asked Yasuko.

Naruto had no idea of what to do.

'I need to do something or else we'll be crushed. But what do I do?' thought Naruto.

"Hey kid. You need some help?" asked Kyuubi.

'You think?! Please, I beg you, give me some of your chakra.' said Naruto speaking to Kyuubi through his thoughts.

Naruto, once again, felt the chakra rush throughout his body. His body was glowing orange and red from the chakra seeping through his skin. Naruto now had sort of a fox-like appearance. Naruto then preformed a few hand seals.

"Earth Style; Earth Dragon Missile" shouted Nine-tailed Naruto.

A dragon made of rock came out of the ground and forcefully rammed through all of the rocks that were coming their way. The jutsu was so powerful that all of the rocks turned into dust.

"I'll be taking the rest of my chakra back before you over exhaust your body" said Kyuubi.

Naruto felt all of the chakra leave his body. His body felt heavy and he was extremely exhausted. The chakra was pure energy and completely shut down most of his senses due to the extreme power the chakra held. He could still see, and he noticed the entrance to the village.

"C'mon Yasuko. There's the entrance." said Naruto slowly walking to the entrance.

"Let me help you." said Yasuko.

"Thanks." said Naruto.

Yasuko put Naruto's arm aroundher shoulder and helped him walk to the entrance. Then, they felt sunlight on their skin. They saw massive buildings and many people. There was a stream that people were gathering water from. There were many beautiful cherry blossom trees with their leaves floating in the gentle breeze that came down from the mountain top.

"We are here. We are in Iwagakure ." said Naruto as he fell asleep due to exhaustion.
