Konohagakure Shimon
_____________________________________________________
The Konoha village gates are large, thickly made and capable of withstanding considerable punishment. Painted onto both of the gates is the hiragana [あん - an], meaning hermitage or retreat. The walls of the village are equally large, being thickly set and made of brick. The height and width have been used as a precaution against siege attack or military armaments - offering a protective shell, should it be needed, from outside sources.
There is only one known entrance into Konoha, the main gates, which requires all visitors are processed for entry via the guard hut that is located before the gates themselves, which may include gentle questioning, a registration book and a search of carrying bags. This hut always has two ANBU present, while there is another ANBU squadron [4 shinobi] who are constantly circling the village on patrol - they are also on call should a situation develop at the guard hut.
The team are able to reach the gate in moments.
Finally, there is a spherical barrier protecting Konoha from all sides, including above and below ground. This barrier is invisible to the naked eye, and immediately sends an alarm to the barrier watchers should an intruder pass through it. The barrier guards are on a rotating day-night shift, with a compliment of five high-level shinobi on standby at all times, should the alarm be raised - requiring that the response team be sent out; this also allows the gate ANBU to be alerted to approaching individuals at distance.
There is never a time of day that the barrier isn't observed, or a five-man response team isn't prepared.
Typically, only shinobi of the Hidden Leaf are aware of the barrier, or how to bypass it, with the seal methods being near impossible to break without a concentrated effort by a considerable number of Fūinjutsu specialists attempting it. However, such attempts will sound a village-wide alert immediately, resulting in a wide-scale response from all available shinobi to the threat.
