On a bright, sunny morning, Yuhara arrived at the entrance to an archive on the underground second floor of Konoha Hospital.
As usual, the place was dim. No matter how fine the daylight outside was or how blazing the sun, it could not bring the slightest extra brightness here. There was nothing to be done about it. After all, Konoha Ninja had a habit of burying all sorts of good, bad, important, and dangerous things underground.
A ninja stood guard at the archive entrance, indicating that the things inside were relatively important.
"Please show your identification or authorization," the ninja said in a strictly official tone.
Yuhara had not brought any identification, but he had enough to prove his identity. He took something from his Ninja Tool Bag and showed it to the other man.

This was not Yuhara's first time here. Ever since the human experiments had failed several times, he had often come here to look for information, hoping to solve his doubts and find new research ideas and methods.
The archive's security classification was not especially high, and Yuhara was a familiar face, so the ninja merely went through the routine and confirmed his access rights.
