Quote:EH? I thought that was Grass? Or maybe it's River Country, home of Hidden Grass. I suppose I'll have to reread the last chaper of Gaara hunting and see.
Quite possibly - the only thing I think we really know is that it's where Sasori was supposed to meet Kabuto in the latest arc.
On the size of Konoha - yeah, it's big, for sure - I think it might actually be the capital of Fire, and the Fire Daimyo's palace is a seperate compound adjacent, not seen because the civilian government just hasn't been important. The Daimyo's wife Shijimi is close enoguh by that genin keep getting sent to find her cat, after all... the ninja/ninja-support population could well be in the 30k range, with the rest being pure civilians. Even allowing for seal-tech to mimic some of the modern conveiniences, I think we're going to have to have some kind of mechanized transport simply to be able to feed that big a population... advanced mechanical design would fit in with a setting where complex-trap-loving ninja are quite active, and the ancient Greeks managed to come up with the steam turbine... we've seen the occasional powered equipment, if rare enough to justify saying it's all hand-built and hence very expensive.
The game OVA I mentioned has more evidence of the screwy tech-levels, BTW, with a big presentation-grade portable video screen set up on the balcony of the Hokage's tower... bracketed by a pair of crude batteries each as big as a man. I guess those seals take a lot of power, reverse-converted from raiton energy to chakra...
- CDThat which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
