The Village Gates[/center]
Taking the design established by Velhart during his reign, Ichijin has applied the solid fortification of the massive stone walls all around the village, reinforced them with more layers, and added security like none other. Of its most impressive is the tall double doors that serve as the gate towards Konoha. Appearing as simple wood, the structure is actually a stone hybrid, appearing soft yet still firm enough to withstand even the most brutal of attacks. They weight over 5,000 tons each, so they can only be moved through a unique and intricate chakra fueled gear system, operated by a few guards at each gate. At the end of each of the door’s side is a tall guard tower far surpassing the limits set by the wall, around seventry five meters high. From the top, guards with magnified instruments can spot enemies ahead of time, and even respond appropriately. Due to its tallsnes, openings can be found all the way down, where various guards observe many parts of the land from different levels and angles. One lone guard remains on the outside, constantly camouflaged with the surroundings to catch anyone approaching the gate off guard – should one fail his questions or hurt him, the entire village of Konoha will soon be upon them.
The radios on all guards here allow them to be notified when a legal visitor has already passed through one of the checkpoints within the forests of Rukongai, and if a trespasser is present, the savages do no hesitate to report. The stone walls themselves around the village are solid, layered, and are around seventy five to one hundred meters tall, increasing as it nears the actual village. As the stone ends, the dense, exotic forests begin, where poisons, wild animals and even wilder men await. Danger, lurking around every corner, only worsens for the lost and insidious…

[/img]Checkpoint - Rukongai[/center]
Rukongai is a lawless forest civilization consisting of lawless savages that take orders from almost no one and live outside the shinobi world. Nestled deep within the exotic forest that blankets most of Hi no Kuni, the inhabitants hide here from the chaos of the outside world, establishing their own world with their own rule. They have existed living in a loose ring around the village, in the deepest parts of the forest where little venture. Not much is different here from the outside world, and violence is very predominant.
No one knew much of this world until the Godaime discovered it, and although at first they were aggressive with the Hyuuga, they soon revered him as a god after he displayed his skills to the many residents when they tried to attack him. As such, they now work to help the many guard towers for Konoha around the forest spot strangers, and do their best to stop any enemies by the method taught to them by Ichijin – zerg rush! If one was unlucky enough to stumble upon this lost forest society, it’s best to get the weapons drawn or the prayers started…
In order to reach the gates, one must go past Rukongai. As such, this lawless city serves as a haven of checkpoints for all visitors of the leaf. Bypassing them is hard to achieve, and violence will warrant the strength of hundreds to crash upon the aggressor. Whenever a guard tower is spotted, identify yourself with your village affiliation and state your business - from there, it's a matter of patience.
