"The Wandering Library"
(Name given by the family members of a Grand Monk of the "Order of Monks Who Read Several Things For The Entirety of their Devoted Lives Without Speaking To Another Soul, Which Is A Poor Excuse For Not Talking To Your Mother, Really", after seeing the beastly thing it is attached to move a claw.)
[History, Tales, Half-Truths and Hidden Things]
The Shop itself is also a common meeting place and object of great affection for a peculiar group of monks who live in a nearby monastery, which is mounted atop the back of an identical creature as Kamishibai. The Order of Monks Who Read Several Things For The Entirety of their Devoted Lives Without Speaking To Another Soul, Which Is A Poor Excuse For Not Talking To Your Mother, Really and all of its members are always silent, and are required to spend at least 23.5 hours a day reading. Consequently, they are usually found with their eyes swollen, heads completely engrossed in random assortments of literature, tripping over things since they tend not to look where they are going. They are also referred to as 'The Clumsy Order' and 'Those Daft Idiots'. They smile constantly and are incredibly skinny.
Though it is stated (even in the Shoppe's official rules) that there is no fourth floor, a disjointed series of room stacked precariously at the top of what appears to be a pile of old machinery serves as the fourth floor, and houses several coal burning furnaces whose purpose seems to be only to pollute the surrounding air. The shops owner and employees access this 'fourth floor' through a series of winding tunnels and stairs, as well as the use of a few jutsu, in order to take smoke breaks.
The creature that the shop is located on burrows beneath the ground frequently, and appears to need no traditional forms of nourishment to sustain itself or the book shop on its back. Thick metal chains and girders, a bridle, a bit and reins are attached to the creature in various loops and rolls of complexity, which force the buildings bizarre structure to remain upright at virtually all times, and reduces the strain of motion on the buildings inhabitants. Most can only barely make out the low rumbling of the creatures heart beat miles below the surface. The creature hibernates for approximately six months out of the year, near the southernmost edge of Nagi Island, and when finally it rises (preferably on a cool day just before dawn), it makes its way slowly to the water, drinks a bit, and shuffles about in the sand before eventually wandering the land to play with large mollusc-like gelled turtles called chelona, and appears to be content. For those attempting to find the shop, they need only follow the simple path of pincered foot-steps near south Nagi Island and climb any of the multiple metal reins, which have been re-fashioned to resemble ladders. There is a small waiting area before entrance to the main hall, where guests may catch their breath, talk, or ignore each other as if they were somehow too important to socialize.[/ul]

[-NPC-]
He hails from Hi No Kuni, of no Kekkei Genkai, though his brute physical strength make him a formidable adversary. He is incredibly knowledgeable about a number of sciences that he himself has invented, and will regale you to no end with stories of his life as a sailor and a pirate. As a young boy, he was little more than a thief, running from place to places stuffing apples or sunfish into his cheap pantaloon pockets, nearby Konoha ANBU following in a wake of crumbs and laughter. As an adult, he has grown to gambling, and is often accused of cheating, though not to his face.
He runs the shop with a good natured manner and a positive attitude, and is perfectly willing to help any and every customer find the things they need. Unfortunately, he has no idea where anything is, and will confidently give you information that is one hundred percent inaccurate. His assistants, luckily, are quite knowledgeable about the inner workings of the shop.
Kumamaro remains a constant fixture of the Shoppe, and is always somewhere around. In several different corners of the store are large beds, set up so that Kumamaro can eventually get some sleep.
Ironically, Kumamaro cannot read.

AOKI is of the Uchiha Clan kekkei genkai, and was a powerful Konohagakure Shinobi for many years, achieving the rank of Jounin at the young age of 13. She retired at the age of 22, after returning home from a quest to learn the powerful Chidori techniques, and has always had a love of reading and knowledge. She has a home somewhere on Nagi Island, though none who know her have ever visited, and she has an intensely blunted affect; a way of showing absolutely no emotion while still being polite and helpful as an employee of Kamishibai. She has an instinctual knowledge of the location of every single book on the floor, and has no problem using her powerful Sharingan to discover the location of anything you could possibly want. She is also madly in love with a Stapler which she has named 'Charles', and could quite possibly be the most insane person you will ever encounter.

SANGO is an old Onigami pirate, who reportedly spent time in the 'City of Crawling Liquid' as a mercenary for hire. His large repertoire of ninjutsu techniques make him a frightening adversary, but have no real effect on his ability to do his job, which allowed him to meticulously order and arrange all the scrolls on what he considers 'his' floor of the shop. Everything has a specific place, every scroll is laid out in detail, marked, double-marked, and triple-marked so that any who sought to do his job in his absence would have absolutely no trouble putting things where they belong. As a person, Sango is just as meticulous about every other aspect of his life, and seems to leave the 24 hour shop only to get his hair done, and spend time with Aoki in a cave-built bar a mile from the strange creature the work atop.
