Kusagakure Gates

Kusagakure Gates
(Created by Takeuchi)

Surrounding Kusagakure no Sato is a an unbroken wooden wall, twenty five feet tall and hidden within a dense forest. The wall has no visible gate on it, instead there is a large hidden door set into a hill within the forest. The hidden door is in the design of an old, man-made cobblestone waterfall that dried up a long time ago. One of the loose stones on the side is really a combination lock and when moved in the correct pattern causes the dried up waterfall opens up enough to allow wagons through. Just inside of this gate is a Gatehouse where a person must present their name and headband or form of entry permission to the guards on duty. One of the guards is an Onigami boy who specializes in making use of illusions to misdirect and mislead others while another is a Kamyuja with Dyslexia who has a series of knives on his person that he is quite skilled with.

After going past the first checkpoint the tunnel continues on until a mid guard post is reached where a person must sign in or out with the date, time, and purpose of their entry or departure of the village which is co-signed by an attending guard. At this point is also a barracks where guards on forty eight hour shifts may sleep in shifts as necessary. The guards at this point vary and this is the point where shinobi who take missions for Gate duty are positioned. The final checkpoint is another Gatehouse, this one just inside of the walls of Kusagakure no Sato. At this final checkpoint when entering the village you once again state your name and present a headband or form of entry permission to the guards on duty.

The guards at this post are Futakongo that remain almost constantly conjoined, with three swords at their waist for one to use while the other has a Mastery over the Water and Wood releases. Each of the three checkpoints possess two holding cells for a total of six in order to detain those who may cause trouble for further questioning.

Rules:
-Kage Approval needed.

Prison Cell x6

Effect: A cell in a prison, in which a prisoner is locked.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This cell includes iron shackles on the walls and hay mattresses strewn about. You can shackle up to six Medium-size prisoners in a communal cell. Alternatively, you can replace the communal cell with independent jail cells. In this arrangement, each prison cell component includes two to four small cells each capable of holding one or two Medium-size creatures. If you need a greater capacity, purchase this component multiple times. The standard prison cell comes with six sets of manacles with wretched locks capable of binding a Medium-size creature (May Purchase better Locks). A Small creature takes up half the space in a prison cell as a Medium-size creature. Manacles for Small creatures cost the same as for Medium-size creatures. Tiny and smaller creatures take up one-fourth the space, and their manacles cost 10 times normal. A Large creature takes up twice the space of a Medium-size creature, and a Huge creature four times the space. (Must Purchase Larger Manacles if needed). Generally, you can’t keep Gargantuan or larger creatures in a simple prison cell, though by buying enough components you could get a large enough space.
Limit: Must be created by a Construction Crafter.
Cost: 5,000 Ryo

It had been a long time since he had returned to the village, it was likely that a new Kage had been chosen while he was out surveying the land. He moved through the steps, putting in the code and giving both his name and showing his headband to the guard. After approval he would pass to the next checkpoint and fill in all the necessary information and from there, after the guard co-signed it, he moved to the final check point. Barring being held back at any of the checkpoints, the former Kusakage would provide his headband and name one more time before entering the village again.

Access Granted! Welcome home, former Kusakage!

*** Enter From ***

Yuri walked pass the guards and made her way out into the country side. She didn't have on her Kage attire she just wanted to take a little walk, and clear her mind of all the craziness that had happened so far. Her life had changed rapidly over the course of just a couple of days and she needed some time to clear her mind. She looked over her shoulder to see Mr. Nette following behind her just like always. Never relenting, never giving her even the tiniest bit of space to enjoy her life, just a little bit. She sighed and then walked off into the country side.

***Exit to Kusa no Kuni***

Bouncing on her heels, Tuva looked all about her goggles constantly whirring and recording as they were adjusted to do, blocking the glare and keeping her eyes safe. She also carried her compass and the rest of her usual items and her goggles sat hooked to her holodisk recorder. When the AnBU released her she turned and waved with a massive smile ,"It was a pleasure meeting you all I hope you come with the Kage!" She blinked several times as the breeze blew, jumping into it and wafting away with that breeze!

[Takeuchi]

He walked throw the gates of the village, cloaked in his AnBu garb with a falcon mask covering his face. The mask would do as his headband replacement and he spoke a code name given to keep his AnBu identity a secret, though the massive sword upon his back was a giveaway to those present, officially the Uchiha would not have left the village to those that did not know. Heading past the first checkpoint and to the second he wrote down the same information, only putting Top Secret for his business which should be acceptable from a leaving AnBu. Going through everything at the final checkpoint with the code name and mask identification, Mukuro left the Village to head to the rendezvous point, abandoning the AnBu garb along the way and keeping only his supplies.

[Exit Village]

[KoKoKo]

Viola, in her usual garb arrived at the gate. She wasn't really an equipment style combatant so didn't need to bring any with her. She handled all the checkpoints with proper diligance, chatting to one or two of the guards having known them either from the academy, or from teaching their children. As they knew Viola they were all a little surprised she took on a mission to leave the country but they understood that as a chuunin she had to do as she must.

[Takeuchi]

The Uchiha moved through the gates, again in his AnBu attire. He was a bit bulkier now, but he moved through the checkpoint providing both credentials and code name. At the second point he signed his code name and provided his bussiness in writing, again using 'Classified'. Finally he made it to the third checkpoint and provided his code name and credentials again as an AnBu. Should everything have gone well, Mukuro would return to the village without issue.

[White Mage]

Shiro had naught for supplies but she was confident she would find generous souls on her journey to her first stop: The Fire Country. But first she needed to pass through the gates. She told the guards her purpose and she was sure they would verify that she had gotten permission to pass through the gates. With a nervous grimace, Shiro trudged through the wilderness and officially left Kusagakure.

[White Mage]

Shiro had returned and was ready to do the mission she had undertaken earlier.

Sunday had finally come, and the festival was going to begin. I had woken up early to get ready for the long walk to the capital. This would truly be a momentous occasion, and I was so ready for it. Wearing my skirt and vest, with 10 senbon tucked into the vest pocket near my left breast, and a waist pack, with about 100 senbon tucked in there, I also carried a wallet containing the 10,000 Ryo I had saved up. It wasn't terribly much, but it was something, and maybe I would find something interesting to buy at the festival.

I walked through the old cobblestone structure of the secret exit, signed my named, showed my headband, and depended upon the Kage's permission granted to all ninja to attend the festival to make my exit. Once I was through to the outside, I followed a small trail until I reached a major road. From there I turned left, and followed all the traffic that was making its way to the capital for todays celebrations. What an exciting day!

Harue would, for sure, be back; this much was certain by a simple glance to her. She wears, of course, her usual attire, with her coat zipped up over her torso. However, she only carries her trusted Katana at her hip, the rest of her belongings tucked away at home. She adjusts the hitai-ate around her neck visibly when she approaches the guard, perhaps subconsciously or not, to appoint to them that she was aware of her status as a Kusanin. Smiling to them as they part the old waterfall-esque gates for her, she would bow slightly before passing through entirely. The sound of the gates closing behind her echoed soundly, and she wondered if she would have to knock to return.

[Enter from Village]

Houkou walked up from the village, Sekizen at his side, padding along content at their pace. The man himself patted his katana and mentally marked his kunai, as he was headed to battle. After stopping home to drop off the Chuunin jacket, he donned a black tank top and black shinobi cargo pants, his sturdy steel-lined boots ever present. Casually he puffed a cigarette as he waved to the AnBu at the gate, sure they had already gotten word of his exit, as the current Kage seemed to run a tight ship. Be back before those missions. Not a problem. Passing through the gates, which were now opened, he would make his way out into the country and on his way to Fang.

[Exit]

[Takeuchi]

The Uchiha had some errands to run and rebels to crush, so he made his way through the Village Gates, flashing his headband and giving his code name he made his way through the checkpoint. At the second checkpoint both his name and reasons for leaving were written into the log book and he made his way to the final checkpoint. Once more flashing his headband and stating his name and code name, the Uchiha made his way through the gates and into the countryside.

{Exit Village}

Though she had not been gone long, Harue is different when she reappears at the hidden village gates. It takes a moment of surveying her king of the forest, gloried in all his pink fur, before the guards let her back in. "He'll be good," she tells the guards as they pass through. She draws a hand down Ōmo's mane, preening his pink locks as though he were a simple house pet. "Do you wanna pet him?"

Harue felt silly coming and going so frequently, but her reasoning is sound. Fresh air would do nicely. Still perched on Ōmo's back, Harue approaches the gates and smiles to the guards as she crosses the threshold again. As she left, she made sure that she had her katana on her hip and her shield on her back, as well as a few of her other items in her pack and senbon in her halfpouch.

[Exiting from Kusagakure]

Chizu didn't have much on her mind for once, surpise surpise, but the thought of getting out and seeing just how fast she can push her new toys outside of the village, where she can't break anything. She wore her headband on her forehead as per usual when she exits her village, her usual gear all equipped to her body. As she passes through the gates, she informs the guards of her leaving for only a few hours at the most. With that finished, she hops on her hoverboard and starts to ride off, ready to do some training and hunting on the go.

[Entering into Land of Grass)

[An'ei Sekitan]

"I don't have time. I have places to be and you already know I'm authorized." Houkou would pass by the Gate Guards without even a second glance, Sekizen at his side as always, and they would leave the Gate to enter the Kusa no Kuni proper. He would need to get to the Chapel and get his weapon reforged as soon as he could to benefit himself, as well as the village.

{Exit}

[ENTER]

Tomomi entered the gates to the village from the inside of the village, with the intent of leaving. Of course he'd already gotten permission from the Kusakage to exit. The guards near the entrance gestured him towards the guards near the middle of the path. It was here that he was given a paper on which to write his name and intentions. Tomomi wrote his first name, and a brief notation of his aim to inspect the rumors of a phenomenon outside of the village.

They accepted the paper, and he was again gestured towards the exit. He passed the guards peacefully, bowing and waving on his way out, and began his travel towards his goal.

The beast and his master return looking a bit scuffed up, but otherwise content and excited to be back home. Peppy as usual, Harue nods to the guards as she and Ōmo return to safety.
