Quote:*snip* I'd been thinking of the building as one huge surface level structure, but you're quite right - the layered approach would work better.
The way I thought of the actual Archives (note the capitalisation) was that they are, as you said, heavily protected. The door S. & N. go through is the ONLY door to the outside and has chuunin guards to keep anyone not a Konoha-nin out. Naruto is technically allowed in here, since he graduated, but he got kicked out a couple of times before then and no one's actually told him that he can go in (Gai would have but it never came up) and Aramaki's given unoffical instructions to discourage him (a bit of kingdom building Neshan would be a bit pissed at presumably).
(Hmm. 'What on earth makes you think you can get away with treating a Genin that way? Our job is to support people, remember?' 'I saw and see no possible justification for allowing a demon access to our village's knowledge - which it is my job to defend!' 'The way you did today? *sweet smile* ...Let's drop the pretense. The question of archive access does not fall under your authority. You will provide all visitors with the full access and support to which their ranks or authorization papers entitle them. If there is a conflict, then I am specifically ordering you to bring it to my attention. Clear?' 'A demon can't have rank!' 'No, but Uzumaki's hardly a demon, is he?' 'But!' 'Oi - which of us is the sealing specialist here, anyway? It's solid, it's secure - the monster can't touch him... and we owe him better.' '*surly* ...yes, sir.')
Quote:The way Aramaki will be smarting from this, he probably won't have to actually do anything w/regards to security - except maybe save the rest of the poor guards from their supervisor. ^_^
Any thoughts on how Neshan would feel about a written report on the incident being on his desk that night?
Ja, -n
