- Konoha Library:
- The Konoha Library is a public library located in northern Konohagakure. It is centrally located within the densest part of the village and is accessible by all residents, civilian, shinobi, and visitors alike. The building is large, with several stories holding the village's largest collection of non-restricted literature, ranging from many subjects such as advanced medical textbooks to self help books about social interaction. Sensitive subjects, such as intimate information on the village and her workings are understandably unavailable, however the myriad of history books that can be found recount events with great, unbiased detail, highlighting both the successes and failures of the village.
Outside of the library, there is a moderately sized courtyard with well-maintained landscaping and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the weather while reading. The library is almost always swarming with the youth of the village during the Academy season, granting the premesis a strong feeling of activity and life.
"I see..."
Hisaki mumbled to herself, looking down at the book that lay open on the table in front of her. Unlike the old tomes on fire release and chakra control that she usually found herself reading, this one was glossy and new, still smelling as if it had been freshly printed. The book's position on the table hid the cover from anyone looking, but a glance over her shoulder would reveal that it was a self-help book, one that had come out recently. The book's title, which was printed at the top of each page, would have been a dead give-away to anyone who wondered why Hisaki would be reading this particular book, at this particular time.

The Chuunin Exams were coming to a close, but Konohagakure was still filled with shinobi and supporters from all over the world. And although Hisaki hadn't been able to participate in this year's exams, she had spent a lot of time watching them. And watching the other genin. It occurred to her that a lot of them tended to hang around in groups, just like the genin from her own villages. Groups of...friends.
Now, it wasn't like Hisaki didn't have friends. There was Minori--and Minori counted as two friends in one! But while thinking about it, Hisaki realized that she had more or less stumbled headfirst into her friendship with Minori, and that probably wouldn't have happened if they hadn't been assigned to the same mission. If their paths hadn't crossed, Hisaki probably would have continued existing in a friendless state, and she was starting to realize that that was not something she wanted. She liked having friends, even if she wasn't sure she was a very good friend yet.
Unfortunately, she wasn't sure how to start. She had acquaintances from the Academy, of course, but she felt as if it was too late to befriend any of them. And her mother, if she asked, would have said friends were a waste of time. So, the library it was. The book, at least, was fascinating.
Hisaki pulled it closer to herself as she continued to read.
