There was also one wall in the dining hall entirely covered with ninja headbands with name plaques under them. This was the list of their dead who had fallen in the service of Kirigakure. The Nightmare brigade was both feared by their own village and hated by criminal organizations. It wasn't uncommon for them to be hunted and less common for the village to care much. Still their memory lived on here. The second floor was much simpler. There was the necessary things like showers and toilets in a shared space on one half with a small armory on the other half. Each person had their own locker here for storing their weapons and their cloak and mask. As well as laundry machines for hygiene purposes. As for the third floor there was only one set of steps leading up to a single office away from the rest of it. Keeping Sero's aura away from the people trying to sleep considerably. Since he could not turn it off when he was here he mostly stayed to the office going over mission reports.
The compound itself was surrounded by a wall that was patrolled along the top by the brigade while a single guard stood out front. A robust man with heavy looking armor and a large axe. An eye patch over one eye and balding on top of his head. He looked just as seasoned as anyone else there but he stood under an overhang out of the rain. A single wood pipe between his lips as he lit it with a match and enjoyed the sweet flavor of Tabaco as he inhaled. His one good eye however was focused on his job and ready to stop intruders. After all Sero was here today and he wouldn't lower his guard with that man here. He had more enemies than anyone...but it seemed he was expecting someone today. His eyes were looking for a young lady despite the downpour of the morning. Poor kid was likely going to have to go out there and get soaked in this he would think to himself. Couldn't track a bear in this rain.
