Yagami stood atop Hokage Rock.
Through his telescope, the Senju Clan Compound appeared peaceful and serene.
Yagami carefully memorized the layout of the Senju Clan Compound.
The enormous compound was divided into left, center, and right sections.
The central section consisted of seven successive courtyards.
The first four were public buildings of the Senju Clan, containing the Ancestral Hall, assembly hall, archives, and other office areas.
These places were sometimes open to outsiders, so Yagami easily found information on those buildings.

The left and right sections of the Senju Clan Compound also had seven successive courtyards, with denser housing and fewer large halls.
On the eastern and western sides of the seven courtyards stood rows of single-story houses stretching over two hundred meters each.
More than a thousand members of the Senju Clan lived within this vast complex.
Beyond the seven courtyards lay extensive training grounds, roughly one-third the size of the seven-courtyard complex.
