Ninja Gaiden

Tucked between the Hokage Tower and the old Senju archives lies the Mission Dispatch Pavilion—a hexagonal stone compound guarded by masked ANBU and lined with scroll-posted mission boards. This is where shinobi are briefed, deployed, and recorded into the ongoing war ledger. During peace, it handled D-rank courier requests and missing cat retrievals. Now, it smells of smoke, ink, and dried blood. The pavilion’s interior hums with activity: messengers sprint between desks, Jōnin argue over casualty reports, and genin squads wait beside towering mission slabs, hoping not to be picked for something suicidal. At the campaign’s start, Tsunade Senju has just returned from a supply line escort to draft her new squad. Team 9—Shiro, Aya, and Takeshi—await inside, unknowingly preparing for their first wartime assignment.

A hexagonal stone structure with intricate carvings, surrounded by a bustling atmosphere of shinobi in action. The air is thick with the scent of ink and smoke, and the walls are adorned with mission boards covered in scrolls.
