A greenhouse wasn't exactly a popular attraction in Sunagakure. It didn't store many beautiful and gracious flowers. It was all medicinal stuff cared by medical-nins and some commoners. And a 16 year old girl had nothing of interest waiting her in the greenhouse. Sunagakure wasn't very fertile, thus young people didn't develop an interest in growing herbs and other plants which required delicate care, exactly like caring after a pet or a sibling.
Till now Sun had only heard about this place. Maybe she had noticed it with the corner of her eye while strolling in Suna's streets. She had never visited it though. Today it was about to change, as you could guess. She had planned to go to the greenhouse and meet someone there. It could be anyone, she just hoped that this person knew something about the medicinal plants since she didn't. It was a bit embarrassing because she was soon to be a medical-nin herself, but she had zero knowledge on healthy brews or plants that could be used in remedies or ointments. Sun could only use already prepared stuff like things found in first aid kit.
She was excited to meet someone new in the greenhouse. She was also wearing special clothes today. A white blouse and long blue skirt. She hoped that these clothes would be easier to notice once she was inside the greenhouse. Her pace was faster than usually. She was flying in her dreams and also flying on her way to her destination. Her impression was jumping on emotions when she saw the greenhouse only from outside. It was not green!!! There was nothing green about it! It was transparent but not really. You could see through the glass house (why wasn't it called glasshouse, it would be much more precise title for this building), but not really since all windows were dripping with water. Even the air outside was more humid than in other places in Sunagakure. You could distinguish some higher and lower plants in the house. You could see that there were flowers after all, there were bushes and other things. But it was time to enter and give it all a close inspection. When she touched the handle, she first instinctively took her hand off - she was surprised to find it wet too.
The door was light and opened up easy. Sun was hyped to peek in through the slightest gap when she opened the door. It was nothing like she had expected. In fact, she couldn't imagine what she hadn't seen before. The soil in Sunagakure was sand. It was infertile. The greenest space you could find was oasis which in fact grew near the waterfall point. But the green stuff inside was oasis cubed. Now it was clear why this place was called a greenhouse.
Sunagakure citizens couldn't see something like this all that often. Maybe in other villages they were able to grew stuff on the ground, but in Suna it was just sound. You can't really grow green vegetables from the ground. Best you can do are some shabby bushes, weeds and trees that take generations to grow. But greenhouse seemed something like a promised land. The humid air was to Sun's liking. It was hot just like outside, but the humid air was nice. It smelled fresh and that's what Sun felt tingling in her nostrils.
She was really afraid to go deeper inside the building alone. She had hoped there would people inside. Scientists, students, keepers that would offer her some instructions and guidance. But she couldn't notice any. There was a stone floor placed like pathway that people could follow without stepping in the soil and keeping their shoes clean. But the pathway soon split into two, and then again, revealing that it was actually a maze. What if the girl got lost here? Would she then be forced to survive grazing on plants? The closest plants she could identify were some flowers with orange, yellow and blue petals. Bushes with some red stuff in between the leaves. And in distance she could see a huge tree. It looked nothing like the trees that grew in the desert. This tree had greenish weird bark.
The tree looked like a nice spot to go closer to. But she still hadn't thought of a way to get back in case she was lost. She started wandering about, but never went too far from the entrance. So far her silly concerns dominated her and she was afraid to go much further.
