These are the gates to Konoha. Anyone leaving or entering must go through the gates. The gates are patrolled by a squad of ANBU from above, and have shinobi of Special Jōnin rank or higher inside a shelter viewing everyone leaving and entering the village. A distinct path leading into the forest and also to the village can be seen beyond the village gates.
When entering the village, present yourself to the two ninja inside the shelter. Be sure to state this information about your character: name, rank, village, business in the village, and anything else notable.
