The Jōnin Standby Station (上忍待機所, Jōnin Taikijō) is a building located in Konohagakure beside the Ninja Academy where the heart of the village's power, the jōnin, stay when waiting for the Hokage's orders or emergencies, as well as when they are off duty. This building first appeared during the Chūnin Exams, when Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yūhi and Kakashi Hatake stayed there while the genin took the first part of the exam
