Foot of the Mountain Just outside the walls of the Senshichojo grounds at the foot of the mountain are the fields and mines that the keepers of the land have formed, remaining self sufficient and living from the land to support their warrior life style in simplicity. Two guards are placed at each of these resources on a daily basis, keeping those not of the Kyuden's residence from taking their goods. These residents live on the mountain's backside outside the village walls but are still able to travel up to the tower by navigating the borders of the village covered in bamboo forests.
Senshichojo Wall and Gate The base of the Kyuden residence is guarded by a single mighty gate with a japanese style castle wall that contains a corridor that guards use to travel to and from all locations of the residence. This gate is equipped with the watch tower, standing high enough to see those coming from the mountain base below by the two guards posted within.Three guardsmen act as gatekeepers for those who wish to come into the Senshichojo. Scattered along the wall's defenses are a total of ten other guards that patrol regularly to defend against those who would tarnish the Senshichojo's riches. Joining one of the corridors within the wall is a passage that leads to the back of the estate that is carved into the mountain side which contains the Barracks. Beneath the walls of the tower's border are catacombs which lead down to a prison and torture chamber.
First Path Following the path that leads further up the mountain toward the main building are a cluster of other facilities. Closest to the gate is the armory, workshops and smithing buildings. These forges and benches are maintained by local smiths and offer their tools to any who desire to forge their own creations.
Second Path Moving further up the cliff ledge path is a cave that recesses into the mountain side. After a five minute walk into it's lantern illuminated path, residents find themselves at a luxurious natural hot spring that has a spa and hotel like amenities within it's small housing unit adjacent to it's fenced in springs. While not guarded, the tenant of the springs only allows those the master of the land has given explicit instructions to be let in.
Third Path If one continues upon the path without entering the spring, they would find themselves approaching yet another building, this one heavily armored with reinforced doors with masterfully crafted locks, keeping those without the utmost skill in lock-picking or destructive forces from breaking in. This building is the Treasury and a man of small stature maintains the financials of the resident's land owner, though, lately the coffers have been rather light due to the lack of master until now.

__ As Kotori neared the old mountain path leading to Senshichojo she saw what she wanted to find. The man-tiger secretary hadn't seen her sensei of late, but she had a feeling that she knew where he was. The thin but pronounced veins pronounced at the sides of her face revealed that her intuition was spot on. In fact, it seemed that Masato was busy training some other novices like herself. "Oh no! Kotori has been forgotten!" The lass hadn't even made it as far as the ancient dojo's worn down walls. She halted her approach and breathed in deeply as she focused chakra toward her brain. "KOTORI IS MASATO-SENSEI'S GREATEST PUPIL!!" She roared as the Gate of Opening was thrown open. Her chakra whirred throughout her frame, releasing her muscle's limits to their fullest capacity, and she decided what she was going to do. Prove it.
With another breath she then released the other inhibitor in her mind, the Gate of Rest. Rough, scattered flows of her fiery red chakra flickered around her body and she felt... lighter. It was like she was tense and relaxed all at once, but so much stronger nonetheless. "Madda madda MADDAAAA! I won't hold anything baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!" WIth another roar which found itself significantly dulled on the mountain winds, she reached into the inner gate at her heart. The Gate of Life was thrown agape, allowing her blood to flow unabated by her heart's natural restrictions. Her skill turned crimson as a result and a faint greenish aura of evaporating sweat started radiating from her body. With her Byakugan still active and her well-condensed muscles visibly pulsating she was honestly a somewhat terrifying visage. If she hadn't spent the last five years rigorously conditioning her body for it, the strain she now felt on her body might've been noteworthy. Kotori took a step forward and vanished as soon as her foot landed upon the beat up stone path.

▱▰▱Akaran took a short break from hiking and looked up to see just how much further they had to go. He was far from exhausted as he felt the adrenaline of the new opportunity fueling his every step. At least now he had a decent view of the tower before he looked back to Akihiko. "We're almost there! Hurry up, slowpoke!" Akaran then felt the fire flare-up in his eyes before he turned around and took off in an excited sprint.

Akihiko enjoyed Akaran's energy, but the Oni's taunting was getting under his skin. "How are you so damn fast after eating half your weight in noodles?" He sounded like a bitter old man, but he stood by his complaints as he followed as closely as he could to the excited Akaran.
