This is just something I came up with and I wondered how well it would work out. Don't expect this one to update fast as I am concentrating on A Second Chance

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but I own this story and how bad-ass it hopefully becomes =D

Chapter 1: The Search for the Bikochu

"I believe that we should set up camp here" Shino said to the others

"What? It's not even late. Why don't we keep going?" Naruto said back

Getting right in Naruto's face Shino says "Because I'm the leader of this mission. So you will do as I say"

"Okay okay. Don't need to get so angry about it"

"Come on Naruto, help me set up the tent, you too Hinata" Kiba said

"H-hai/Alright" came the reply

The tent was set up and everyone laid their sleeping bag down in a spot they wanted

Naruto lays down and says "I can't believe we have to go to sleep so early. I'm not even tired......(snore)"

Kiba looks at the now sleeping Naruto and says "After all his talk about not being tired he's the first one out. Typical Naruto"

'That's what you think dog breath' the 'sleeping' Naruto thought

In the back Hinata just smiles

xxxxx

In the dead of night someone awoke from their fake slumber and left the tent. Off to practice what had been hidden.

Hinata woke up not too long after and looked around the tent. Only to gasp as she noticed that Naruto was missing. Feeling the worst she gets dressed and leaves the tent and runs into the woods, hoping to find him.

Hinata had been constantly running when she suddenly heard the sound of something shattering. She goes to see if it's Naruto and stops before a clearing where she saw a dark figure in the middle of the clearing.

She could not see who it was but she could tell that it meant no harm, since it looked like it was practicing something.

The figure performed a leg sweep and Hinata was amazed to see a thin sheet of ice come out of it's leg and basically hover in the air. The figure turned back around and uppercut-ted the sheet of ice, shattering it into a million pieces that floated to the ground reflecting moonlight as they fell.

The figure never stopped its movements and more ice was made and shattered upon impact. Hinata was just watching, glued to her spot in sheer awe of what she was seeing.

The figure then stopped its practicing, it did a single back-flip and a large ball of ice was propelled from its foot. The ball flew back straight down back to the figure, while the figure itself spun once and punched the ice ball, shattering it into millions of pieces that fell around it and reflected the moonlight all around it.

Since the figure was done with its 'dance' Hinata snapped out of it and remembered that Naruto was missing. She walked forward to try to catch a glimpse of the figure, but she in-turn stepped on a twig, snapping it.

The figure looked up in a start, looked at her, and exploded into ice, as if it was never real in the first place.

Looking around with her Byakugan Hinata could not find the figure or Naruto near by. Hoping that Naruto would return safely she walked back to the tent. As she was about to enter the tent Naruto walked out of some bushes next to the tent

Looking at Hinata Naruto asks "Why are you up so late Hinata?"

Blushing slightly at the sight of her crush in pajamas she says back "I w-was looking f-f-for you N-n-naruto-kun. W-w-what happened?"

Chuckling a bit Naruto says "I'm fine Hinata. Nature just called me"

Understanding what he said and blushing more Hinata says "O-o-okay then. W-w-well, o-o-oyasumi N-n-naruto-kun"

Giving a fox like smile Naruto says back "Oyasumi Hinata"

They walk into the tent and lay back down, neither disturbing the other two occupants of the tent who were fast asleep

(yawn)

"Hey Hinata, are you alright?" Kiba asked

"I-i-i'm fine. J-j-just a b-bit tired"

"Didn't you get enough sleep?" Shino asked

"I-i-i woke up i-i-in the m-middle of t-the night t-to..."

(YAWN!) (POP) "Ow... that was my arm"

"You too Naruto? Why are you tired? Did you wake up in the middle of the night too?" Kiba asked

"Yea I did, but nature called me and I couldn't ignore it"

"I don't believe we needed to know that much Naruto"

"Hey don't blame me. He asked. By the way Shino, how close are we to the spot where the bikochu is?"

"We are here Naruto" Shino replied back

"Really? Cool let me see"

Naruto walks forward only to stop ,look down, and yell "It's down there?!?!"

Hinata and Kiba run up to Naruto and they go wide eyed while Shino calmly walks towards them. In front of them was a one hundred to one hundred fifty foot cliff that went down into an acre by acre crater covered by forest

Looking at Shino Kiba asks "We really need to go down there Shino?"

"Hai, that's where the bikochu beetle lives" Shino replied back

"It's a-a-along way d-down" Hinata says still looking over the cliff

"Well then, we had better get started" Naruto says to the others as he jumps over the cliff

"Naruto-kun!!!" Hinata screams in fear for her love

They hear a distant "What?" and look over the cliff to see Naruto walking parallel and on the cliff

"I believe that works" Shino says as he too walks down the cliff

xxxxx

The team got to the bottom of the cliff and were now walking through the forest looking for a place to meet up at if they separate. The four continue walking and pass a boulder that was laying behind some trees. After they pass by three pairs of eyes appear on the boulder and three Iwa nin step out of their camouflage and look at the four Konoha genin.

"They must be here for the same reason we are" One with a deep voice said "What do you think Jibachi?"

"They must be" The one known an Jibachi said back "To come here at this time must means that hey are looking or a bikochu beetle"

A woman walked in front of them and said "We must beat them to the beetle. The fate of the Kamizuru clan depends on us. Jibachi, Kurobachi, let's just watch them and see what happens"

"Hai Suzumebachi" Came the reply

xxxxx

The four genin stopped in the middle of the forest where a gigantic tree lay and decided that the tree was their meeting spot. Naruto, Hinata and Kiba looked at Shino waiting for him to tell them what to look for.

"The bikochu looks like this" Shino said pulling out a photo of an elephant trunk-ed beetle. "We meet back here at sundown. Let's go search" With that the four genin split up

xxxxx

Shino stopped in front of a fallen tree and placed his hand on the trunk of the tree and said

"Insect Summoning Jutsu"

Insects of all kinds and shapes appeared in front of him. Shino looked at the bugs that came and shook his head.

"It's not here" He said as he released the insects

Shino walked away from the fallen tree and passed by a boulder. As he came to the front of it his kikaichu insects started to act up, signaling that there were enemies hiding in the boulder. However Shino just kept walking away as the three Iwa nin looked on.

xxxxx

Kiba and Akamaru were on a high tree looking and smelling around for the beetle

"Where could this dang thing be?" Kiba asked himself

Akamaru suddenly started barking. Kiba, following what Akamaru smelled the three Iwa nin's and grinned

Looking at Akamaru Kiba said "Good catch buddy. We had better go tell Shino about this"

Akamaru just barked as they jumped away to meet up back at the meeting spot to tell of his findings

xxxxx

Hinata was in the middle of the forest watching as tons of different butterflies flew around her. In the middle of her relaxation she remembers what her father had said to her before the mission

xxx Flashback xxx

"Hinata"

Hinata looked up and saw her father above her

"H-hai tou-san?"

"You are late for your training, now come along" Hiashi said

"B-b-but I have a-a-a mission"

"A mission you say? Very well then" Hiashi turns and walks away, but not before saying "try not to be a burden to your team"

Trying not to cry Hinata says a shaky "H-h-hai" and runs out of the compound

xxx Flashback Kai xxx

'That's true. I recommended this mission. So I must play my part' Hinata thought

"Byakugan"

Hinata looks around with her Byakugan and notices that her eyes cannot see any insects

'They must be too small for me to notice...Wait...what is that?'

Hinata notices the chakra's of the three Iwa ninjas. She gasps and deactivates her eyes and runs back to the meeting spot to see if any of the others had noticed as well.

xxxxx

Naruto was jumping from tree to tree looking for the beetle. He stopped on high tree when he felt three new chakra signatures near by. Looking towards the new comers in the corner of his eye he wondered what he should do with them. Knowing that he couldn't fight them in danger of killing the beetle he decided something different. He jumped from tree to tree until he was right above them. Knowing that they were looking at him he made his move. Naruto moved so fast that all the three Iwa nin's saw was Naruto's right pointer finger twitch. Naruto then jumped away to the meeting spot. Unknown to the three Iwa nin's there was a very small patch of ice on their sandals.

xxxxx

Naruto just arrived at the tree/meeting spot where the other three genin's were waiting for him.

Kiba looked at Naruto and said "Apparently you were the only one to not notice"

Tilting his head to the side Naruto asks "What didn't I notice?"

"We have unwanted company here in the forest"

"What seriously? How could I have not noticed?"

"Because your an idiot that's why!" Kiba yelled to Naruto's shocked face

Naruto's face and body said that he was shocked, but Hinata looked further...into his eyes, and saw that he was not even mildly surprised, like he knew the enemy nin's were there from the start.

'Naruto-kun is...lying? Why would he lie about something like this?' Hinata thought

"S-s-so what d-do we d-do Shino?" Hinata asked

"We continue like normal. If they attack us then we fight back. However we are done for today. We will continue in the morning"

"Hai" Came the reply from the other three as they all picked a sleeping spot on the tree

xxxxx

Hinata woke up late at night once again. She looked at her team and noticed that this time everyone was still asleep. Figuring that this was the perfect time to train she gathers up her training cloths and runs to a waterfall near by. What she didn't notice was that once she left, the sleeping Naruto vanish in a cloud of smoke showing that it was a shadow clone.

Hinata was training in the middle of a river with a waterfall behind her. She had secretly taken up elemental manipulation for water and practiced it while on missions since her clan looked down upon anything besides the Jyuuken. Because of her secret training she thought of making a new Jyuuken jutsu, but had yet to master it.

Hinata was in the middle of her water manipulation when she heard someone snap their fingers. Out of no where the water droplets that were in the air solidified into ice and fell, only to shatter when they hit the ground. Hinata looked to the top of the waterfall only to see the same figure from the other night sitting on the waterfall chuckling. She still could only see the outline of the figure while the rest of it was hidden in the night. The figure stood up and looked at Hinata, then kicked its foot on the water and made a medium sized ball of water shoot over the waterfall straight towards Hinata. Hinata stood in the Jyuuken stance ready to defend herself from the falling water but stopped when she noticed what was happening.

The ball of water solidified into ice and looked like it was carving itself into a shape. Pieces of ice fell off off the ball and Hinata caught whatever was left. Hinata looked at what the ball turned into, only to see an Ice rose resting in her hands. She saw that it had chakra in it so it wouldn't melt and wondered why the figure would give her something like this. She looked up to question the strange person, only to find him gone. She looked around, only to find that the figure vanished as it did last time. Walking over to her coat she placed the rose in the pocket and thought

'Who was that? And why was that person so interested in me? There are so many strange things going on here. First Naruto-kun goes missing, only for me to find this ice user. He comes back saying that he needed to go. Next he isn't surprised when Kiba said that there were enemy ninja nearby. Could that ice user be Naruto-kun? I need to find out the truth about him'

Authors notes: Yes I started a new story but I am going to be concentrating on my best story A Second Chance. I made this story because I noticed that out of all of the fanfics out there there are none that make the HaruHina waterfall the other way around so Hinata is watching Naruto instead. I also noticed that while Haku's bloodline is used for naruto in fanfics, it is used with more than one bloodline or sub element like wood, crystal, lava or metal. I have never read one where Naruto controls only Ice and it wasn't a Bleach/Naruto crossover. So I wanted to see how that would work out and here it is. I hope you all Like it and a new chapter of A Second Chance will be out soon.

One question though. Do you think I should add my OC Tenshi to this story? If he is he will still be with Tenten

Until then R&R please!
