Under a Boulder & Tree?

Akamaru leads Kiba, Ino, and Naruto for a few minutes through the outskirts of the academy. The dog seemed unsure which way to go a couple times. However, quickly they found themselves facing a huge boulder set into an even larger tree. There was a cave or a tunnel below it.

Shadows dance against the cave walls with the blazing light from camp fires. This is the first time Naruto has been in this area and is unsure if the cave was actually a tunnel or what. Seemingly the Otogakure Team is rather close to the entrance.

There is are strange scents in the air too mixing with the weird sounds echoing softly off the cave walls. As if the Otogakure Team wasn't creepy enough from earlier.

“What are they doing in there.?.” Ino whispers clearly unnerved at how the Otogakure Team is apparently hiding as well.

Ino already has a **** grip on Naruto’s hand. This was perhaps the most danger either of them have face yet. However, tomorrow will naturally be more so. Now, there is a forbidden air to their stealth.

“No idea… I want to get a better look.” Fearlessly, or foolishly, Naruto stealthily moves through the surrounding underbrush to the side of the tunnel entrance.

“Naruto!!!” Ino whispers with the wind but her boyfriend already is committed in his movements.

Now they can clearly see a strange symbol etched into the huge granite boulder forming half of the opening of the cave.
