That was what the village of Konohagakure really was: a huge city that suddenly materialised within a forest.
There wasn’t a single shinobi who felt the slightest dissatisfied with a village like that.
The village had originally been a gathering of several shinobi and their clans, but when a group of people lived somewhere, they naturally ended up wanting places that would make them food. And of course, there was a demand for stores that would sell daily necessities as well. Following that logic, it was natural that another group of people would appear with an eye on the village full of customers.
So it came to pass that a group of non-shinobi –of sellers and crafters who wanted to take the shinobi on as customers– would end up gathering close to the shinobi settlement as well.
And in the same way that shinobi had clans and families, the sellers and workers didn’t just come to the village all by themselves either. They also brought along their clans, and their families.
There were many normal people who moved to the village along with their kin for the sake of trade, and there were also many people who were originally shinobi but were now taking up different professions. There were also people who thought to themselves, ‘I don’t come from a clan of shinobi, but I want to send my child to the Ninja Academy’ and moved to the village with that intent.
Shinobi households, merchant households, crafters households…many, many different people from varying backgrounds and professions all came to live together in the village. And as the moon waned, and the months and years passed, it was with those people that the settlement became the large metropolis that it was today.
And that huge village, even now, was still continuing to grow and advance.
Konoha’s great size made it so that circling around the entire village even once would be a tremendous effort. Going that kind of distance could even end up breaking your bones. And yet, for a while now, someone had been running round and round the village of Konoha.
That someone was Rock Lee.
Dawn hadn’t even broken yet, and he was staggering as he ran around the village, with a face that looked like he could die any moment.
Why exactly was he running around by himself at this hour of night when all the villagers and shinobi without missions were soundly asleep?
It wasn’t for any particular secret training. As a matter of fact, Lee wasn’t even running because he felt like he wanted to run. If he could, then Lee would have dearly liked to go back home and sleep. However, he had a certain circumstance that meant he couldn’t do that.
Everything had started about half a day earlier…
