A trick on a ninja is how this lake is made the gates, beautiful and big, it's covered in pure ice and the water underneeth is actually only five feet the ice is so thick. Katon has yet to melt it but the coldness in this peticular area is atleast -10 degrees, Suiton cannot be performed here or it will freeze immediatly. It's hard to get across the lake, slipping and sliding, falling on your butt to crack your tailbone! The ninja in Shimogakure have learned to use chakra to get across, it's just like waterwalking or tree climbing, but no one realizes that it is the same. The gates are very beautiful, pure ice and frosted over with some snow. On the top of the gates when not opened it says "Welcome to hell." In Romanji letter, a lie to ward off those who wish to attack or call them weak for they have a strong saying here at the gates, "The most mysterious could be the most dangerous." Yet Shimo is known to not get close with allies at all, skeptical on the shinobi world's power thirst.
