Konoha's Retaining Walls

Age : 30 Posts : 1701

Konoha's Walls are Constructed of two main materials;

The first is a very hard, synthetic stone. The Second is the panelling that covers it. The Panelling absorbs chakra. This chakra is collected in a large metal container that is hidden in Konoha. The chakra inside of it can never be used for jutsu, as it is tainted, but can, in an emergency, be used as a form of power, for lights and such.

Around the Walls of Konoha are 20 tags, all of them layed against the wall. They cannot be removed, except in a certain order. These tags were created by the second hokage, and make the walls of Konoha indestructable, unless they are removed at the same time. Everything inside konoha is still entirely destructable, and if one where to find a way over the wall, nothing would stop them (minus guards and other obvious defenses)

Name: Chakra Sucking Panelling.
Rank: S
Type: Supplement
Natural Abilities:
This item is the pannelling that covers all of the outside walls of konoha. A very simple material, it sucks chakra on contact. Now, this seems like it could have some OP uses...however, it only does so when chakra is willingly applied, and only on physical contact. If a ninja were to lean against this wall, no chakra would be lost; however, if they were to attempt to scale it, it would suck the chakra right from out of their feet, making it impossible to climb. For this reason, it's obvious why the outer wall and gate was layered in this.

The Material itself comes in many forms, including, but not limited to; Metals, Woods, porcelain, and glass.

Name: gyakukujo fuuin (Anti Destruction Seal)
Rank: S
Type: Supplement
Natural Abilities:
This Seal is formed by twenty tags, evenly distributed on konoha's outer retaining walls. These tags create a seal that makes the walls indestructible, the seal absorbing any amount of physical impact that is exerted. This effect can be nullified if all twenty of the tags are removed at the same time. However, around each of these seals is the inscription of the explosive tag. When one seal is moved out of sync with the rest of them being removed, they all explode with a radius large enough to kill whomever attempted to remove it. Above that, these seals are twenty feet off the ground, meaning that to remove them you have to scale the wall (Impossible by standard tree climbing technique) or use another method to achieve that height for long enough to remove the seal in sync with twenty others. Also, you must apply chakra to the seal in order to remove it. That eliminates the already minimal risk of a civilian getting hurt trying to remove it.

On The Tops of every wall, coating every surface is a very special material that can't be sunk into. Additionally, everything is rounded, from the guard towers to the walls, thusly making grappling hooks entirely useless.

How high is it?

Overall this wall is pretty much indestructible and in scalable, tone it down a bit.

It's a major village. All you have to do is jump or fly over the thing, It's not at all perfect...for god's sake there the huge, gaping dome of empty space that's entirely unprotected. The walls would be...25m tall, about 7 and a half stories tall.

Surely a major village would have ninja to stop aerial attacks on top of the walls.

Chuunin guards, which jounin or higher could take out. I would certainly hope that anyone attacking a village wouldn't send genin or chuunin to do so. Besides, it's possible to remove the seal, with a couple of ninja. How about this, I lessen the amount of tags to 5, so a five person ninja team could remove the Sealing tags, making the village vulnerable. =] Additionally, I'll decrease the height to 20m.

This is ridiculous. You can't surround you village with a chakra vacuum. Making a wall that surrounds a village indestructible would take a lot more then 20 tags, and I'm not sure it's entirely approvable on that scale.

Also, where does one get synthetic rock in the naruto world?

Denied until you make concessions to make this reasonable for the size of the wall. Also, you can't invoke a a major npc to build you a perfect defense. You'll actually have to find someone to build this for you if you want it done with any sort of seals, etc.

I was planning on this being constructed far before Kamina's time. I didn't have the opportunity to put details like that in place, so I'm doing it now.

Also, it's not a chakra vacuum. Someone can stand right next to it, or even touch it with no effect. It's only when they attempt to use chakra on it (tree climbing technique) that it sucks chakra in.

It's not at all a perfect defense....Seeing as you could just chuck rocks with exploding tags taped to them right over the wall. You could even hurl boulders over it, or better yet use it against Konoha by filling it with water. It's far from perfect, just a bit better than basic rock walls.

As this wall is not part of the writeup for Konoha I'm ruling that it must be a more current addition. As such you would need a means of building it.

And your taking my words to literally. By vacuum and perfect I don't mean that it sucks chakra out of the air or that it is impregnable. What I mean is that it wouldn't happen. Such a material would have to be a custom creation. And at such a high rank there would be no way to get enough of it to cover a wall so big.

Specially constructed "invincible" walls should be reserved for something special, maybe a small vault that holds konoha's secrets could have such features, but not a wall wrapping around the entire village. It would be vulnerable to attack just like any other structure. It's too large scale to be that specialized. Think of it like a pyramid. It's sheer mass makes it S rank. Start adding on unbreakable rock and now it's just stupid. It's a mountain of rock for christ's sake. See what I mean?

This is only because I have no choice. The writeup was done before I became hokage, unfortunately, although I'm technically the first of the site. I don't find this fair, and thusly I'm simply posting this here so it can be added to the writeup.

They have chakratite in naruto. It's perfectly feasible that a powerful nation such as konoha could have a similar metal on a larger scale. For gods sake stephen, look at Suna! xD It's freaking las vegas.

How about instead of indestructibility, it's increased defensively. Instead of a battering ram being able to topple it, it takes a few S rank attacks.

There is no unbreakable rock, it's an infuuin.

Suna is another can of worms, not one that is my job to tackle. I just do the equipment. Bear in mind that giant stone walls are very durable in their own right. There are stone walls in china that took artillery fire in one of the world wars and are still standing. Having a thick and tall stone wall properly constructed can be quite the fortification. And they won't be getting through a thick stone wall with a ram. The gates are a whole separate monster, which isn't included in this app so I shall not address them.

As far as chakra conductive metals go, it is my understanding that it is rare and very valuable. A weapon made of the material would be considered a great treasure by most. Covering your city walls in it is akin to doing it with gold or platinum. It's just insane talk.

Konoha has become very prosperous. I could easily include in the history a discovery of a huge mine of chakratite =]

And even if it isn't your job to tackle, it is what it is, and is thusly directly relative.
