The Hokage Residence is a large mansion occupied by the Hokage during their reign, and is located close to both the Ninja Academy and Hokage Monument. It is also the largest building in Konoha, towering over all other buildings. Built during the reign of the First Hokage, the Hokage mansion was occupied by Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, before it was destroyed by the Deva Path's large scale Shinra Tensei during Pain's Invasion of Konoha. There is also the kanji for Fire (火) printed in a large circle near the top of the building. It is filled with many forbidden scrolls, in which lie the secrets to many jutsu. Shortly before Tsunade becomes Hokage, Konohamaru, the Third Hokage's grandson, locks himself in the Hokage Mansion and sets it full of traps, although Tsunade easily managed to get past them all.
