Answers:

The Heart of the Cycle of the Wheel

where the master of Dawn sat in his throne of steel.

The first line of the riddle was points out the server. Rinnegan directly translates to "Wheel Cycle", and heart accompanies it to point out which specific server it was: Rinnegan - Heart.

The second line was to point out the specific location of the server. Akatsuki translates to Dawn from Japanese, so Master of Dawn means the leader of Akatsuki, or Nagato. The throne of steel refers to his metallic chair he was sitting in when he was assaulting Konoha. Since only areas accessible to level 2 characters are in play for the event, Pain's Hideout isn't permissible for the event, but the area just outside it is permissible for Shino to be lost in!

Answers to the Third Find Shino Event!

Clue:

Unlock a thousand stones, not a thousand doors,

Most commonly bought at the grocery store.

Come to the cave where the stones are unlocked;

Be careful! The way is blocked!

Answer:

The whole riddle refers to the Mysterious Cave. “Unlock a thousand stones” is referring to the cave key rebate, which is common for players to use in multiples of approximately 1000 cave keys (in units of 1050). “Most commonly bought at the grocery store” is referring to the grocery store interface in the game, which is a highly common place where players purchase these cave keys. This third line, “Come to the cave where the stones are unlocked”, shows players that we are referring to the place where you use the cave keys to unlock the stones, or rune stones, instead of the keys themselves and gives the actual physical location as well as server location. “Be careful! The way is blocked!” refers to the exact location of Shino, which is inside of a cave that is blocked by a boulder. So, it points to the mysterious cave, and to a blocked cave, which also happens to be the mysterious cave in game.

Trivia Question:

What is the insect I most commonly associate with?
