Jōnin Standby Station

The Jōnin Standby Station ( 上忍待機所 , Jōnin Taikijō , Viz: Jōnin Station) is a building located in Konohagakure beside the Ninja Academy where the heart of the village's power, the jōnin , stay when waiting for the Hokage 's orders or emergencies, as well as when they are off duty. This building first appeared during the Chūnin Exams , when Asuma Sarutobi , Kurenai Yūhi and Kakashi Hatake stayed there while the genin took the first part of the exam.

## Appearance [ ]

Outside the station, there are two signs: a large, round green sign with the kanji for up ( 上 , ue ), short for jōnin ( 上忍 ), and a smaller brown sign below it with the kanji that says "there are many destinies" ( 人生色々 , jinsei iroiro ), a proverb referring to the ups and downs/variety of life's path. The lounge inside the station is a circular room with multiple windows, long red sofas that surrounds a single pillar with plants growing round it and a small green vent.

## Trivia [ ]

In the anime, the secondary sign on the building instead reads "wondering to oneself" ( 自問自答 , jimon jitō ), a proverb referring to answering one's own question.
