Kojiro Yamanaka's Shop of Knowledge and Obscurities

This Building was created by beltran

Outside

[/b]: Once one walks into Kojiro Yamanaka's Shop of Knowledge and obscurities, they are greeted immediately by a wonderful array of, what else but knowledge. Walls are lined with 10 Meter high solid oak cases containing scrolls and books on almost everything one would ever wish to learn about... Also a muscle man of the highest caliber, there to prevent theft. The ceiling has a constant GenJutsu cast upon users to make them believe it is an open sky, stars twinkling within its moonless night sky. The GenJutsu Master attendant constantly fuels the chakra flow to the ceiling to give it this appearance. Within the middle, marble book and scroll cases, black in color jut up 20 meters, Dwarfing the other cases it contains many books and even older scrolls on harder to access information.

A semi circle shaped desk surrounds the marble case with the shop's owner constantly behind it. As a matter in fact, the desk contains a fold out bed where Kojiro Yamanaka himself sleeps at night. Littered among the desk a curious goods collected by Kojiro amongst his travels. Among them, in cases are a three bladed Kunai, a ritualistic pike and a Necronomicon stolen from a Jashinist, by the owner himself. Amongst the rest are odd goods from various other clans. Every item is kept under glass, which if lifted in an attempt to steal the items will sound an extremely loud alarm that will signal anyone within a mile of the library to an intruder. The desk itself is composed of the same black marble as the bookcase.

In the very back of the store is the "Adult Section". Anyone who is under 19 is not allowed access to this part of the store. The section is monitored by a very strict, very beautiful woman who does not let anyone in until they give verification of their age and pass a test if they are disguised using Henge No Jutsu with a simple needle poke. The poke will cause any transformed customers to return to their original form, to be swiftly removed from the shop immediately. The adult section caters to what else but adults, with lecherous works compiled from the world around. The entrance is covered by thick beaded strings that create a type of doorway, not allowing anyone to see in or out.

The store is comprised of the following sections:

• Occult: This section is comprised of books supposedly dealing with the history of "forbidden and dark techniques" but they are simply a ploy and are mostly comprised of fiction.
  
  
• Ninjutsu: This section is entirely comprised of scrolls dealing with the usage of chakra based techniques known as Ninjutsu, Elemental or not. It contains information of every Ninjutsu technique known to man that is not considered restricted content by the government.
  
  
• History This section is entirely comprised of scrolls dealing with the history of the ninja world. From the first great ninja war to present day and even a little pre-ninja war history. The strongest nations with hidden villages have more written of them than lesser countries without hidden villages.
  
  
• TaiJutsu This section is entirely comprised of scrolls dealing with the usage of TaiJutsu, both hand to hand and ranged. Armed and unarmed. It contains the history of all fighting styles, but contains no information of how to learn any techniques other than what are considered as "Basic" TaiJutsu.

(OOC: I'm rping my search for someone who can teach my charrie Yamanaka techs, nothing more. I'm doing Kojiro by myself, so no staff required)

"Uhh, hello?"

Kysuugi walked into the brain/shop looking for Kojiro Yamanaka; he wanted to learn the techniques of the Yamanaka clan very badly, and as far as he knew, Kojiro was the ticket. However, what he found at first was much more exotic.

As Kysuugi looked around, the first thing he noticed was that there were bookshelves filled with books and scrolls everywhere on every imaginable subject. And as if that wasn't enough, the whole ceiling looked like a night sky in the country, with twinkling stars and a beautiful navy blue backdrop. Obviously a genjutsu, but obviously a very convincing one as well.

Then, he began to notice the people who worked there: a muscular giant reading to some kids in a corner, a gypsy of some sort concentrating on something, probably the genjutsu Kysuugi was seeing on the ceiling, another woman in a business suit reading a book next to a doorway covered by thick, densely packed beads, and an unshaven, rather skinny man working dilligently at his half-moon desk.

Judging on the man's blonde-haired, blue-eyed appearance, Kysuugi guessed that he was the man he was looking for. So, he walked up to him calmly, noting the curiosities under glass, and asked, "Hi. Are you Kojiro Yamanaka?"

The man looked up from whatever he was working on and replied, "Yes, that's me. What do you need?" Kysuugi was surprised to hear him for the first time, since his smooth, polite tone of voice didn't really fit his appearance in Kysuugi's eyes, but he soon forgot that; he had more important things to talk about.

Kysuugi decided to show confidence and get it all out in one sentence. "Well, I was wondering if you could teach me about the Yamanaka clan."

"I see. There's plenty of scrolls and books over there in the history section."

"Um no, that's not really what I meant. I meant that I wanted to learn some of their techniques. I'm an aspiring ninja in Iwagakure you see, Kysuugi Takeda, and I admire the Yamanaka clan greatly. So, I was wondering if you could teach me some of your techniques so I can use them in battle."

Kojiro was obviously intrigued by Kysuugi's curiosity, but he seemed to want to remain secretive about the Yamanaka clan. "I understand your curiosity; I myself have often given into its drive. But I'm afraid that I can't just teach you these techniques.

"Why?"

"These techniques were created solely for the use of the Yamanakas. If everyone knew them, then what use would there be for the Yamanaka clan? We'd just be a, what's the phrase, 'regular joe' sort of family. We'd lose our advantage in battle and espionage, if one were to use these techniques for such purposes, and we would lose what makes us unique as a whole. No one in our clan would want that, including me."

Kysuugi understood what Kojiro meant; he came from one of those "regular joe" families, and he wasn't very proud of it at all. "But I'm not going to teach anyone..."

Kojiro sighed, obviously wanting to teach Kysuugi, but also not wanting to. "Secrets have a way of defying your original intentions. If I do teach you, you probably will tell someone how these techniques work anyhow, even if you swear to me that you would never do such a thing."

This was truly a wise man Kysuugi was speaking with, his knowledge fortified by experience. Kysuugi admired that. But he wasn't about to give up so easily. "Come on. I'm not one of those people, and I'm really desperate to learn genjutsu that would help my village. Please?"

Kojiro was getting ever so slightly annoyed. "Okay, first of all, our jutsu is not genjutsu, it's ninjutsu, and secondly, I absolutely cannot teach you these techniques. I love sharing knowledge with others, but I can't share this knowlege with you."

"See? You've already taught me that your jutsu is actually ninjutsu, not genjutsu. You're teaching me and you don't even know it."

Kojiro sighed once more. "Alright. Since you are so eager to learn these techniques, then I'll teach you the basics."

Kysuugi's face instantly lit up in a bright smile. "YES! THANK Y-"

"But you have to promise me that you will never teach anyone else about what I'm teaching you."

"Okay, sounds good. I swear I will never teach anyone else these techniques. Do you want any money or something? Because I've got enough to pay you if you want."

Kojiro smiled. "It's alright. You can't buy this kind of knowledge."

So, with Kojiro giving a quick "ok" sign to the giant reading to the children in the corner, the two left for a secluded park.

Loki entered into the shop and wen up to the worker. She rested her hands on the counter, as if this would some how help her get what she waited. She tried to impose her will on the shop. Please let what she was looking for be here. The land of Snow was not somewhere she wanted to go.

And thus the never ending "Sorry, Sorry Sorry not here" as the shope owner gave a quick check....

[Madame Loki]

Loki's shoulders slumped over. It looked like she was going to have to try her luck in the Land of Snow. She sighed and then walked out of the shop.

Cost: 30,000 Ryo Book of War and Valor, The Rank: "S" Type: Main, Book, Reference Effect: A book pertaining to combat dealing with honor and valor. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Page Count: 534 pgs. By Mijon Sun. Little is known about the Warlord Mijon Sun, except for the fact that fighters and warriors hail him as a genius. Those who have read his book credit the information therein with saving their lives on more than one occasion. Part physical training, part motivational handbook, the text explains mot only the fundamentals of combat, but expounds the virtue of honorable fighting and the dignity of valor. In life, Mijon Sun had been the youngest son of a wealthy warlord. Though given basic training in weaponry and tactics, he was forced to study warfare like his older brothers. Content to inherit neither his father’s power nor responsibilities, Mijon Sun studied art and literature and led the life of a spoiled noble. That is, until war broke out and his father and two older brother’s died in combat. Forced to take command of his family’s battered army, he tried to defend his people. But he was beaten down by the opposing warlord on the battlefield. Before his opponent delivered the fatal blow, he mocked Mijon Sun and said he would take his dear sister as a concubine. The thought filled Mijon with a renewed sense of purpose, and he focused the purpose into his blade. He managed to defeat the enemy warlord and finally drive back the enemy army. He then took to devout study of the art of war, and combined this knowledge with his own literary skills to create a masterpiece of warfare. The tactics in the book rely heavily on ideas of honor, valor, integrity, and personal fortitude. Power comes not only from practice and natural skill, but recognizing what is of importance and using it to fuel your battle.

Cost: 50,000 Ryo Creatures of Chaos and Mayhem Rank: "A" Type: Main, Book, Reference Effect: A book on Monsters and adventures pertaining to monsters. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Page Count: 520 pgs. By Magister Bartholomew Heidenclark. Magister Bartholomew Heidenclark served as Magister of a small community often bedeviled by strange creatures due to its unfortunate proximity to the ruins of an ancient tower. The Magister often employed adventurers to eliminate various threats to the town, and (if they successfully returned) would interview them regarding the beasts they fought. He recorded all this information into his book. He also often visited the taverns to speak with travelers and collect information regarding other monsters. The book is meant as a reference book, not a study book. It is indexed by name (when known), type (Mythical Beast, Undead, etc), and specific characteristics (winged creatures, poisonous, etc) for ease of use. The listings included the general powers of the monster as well as its weaknesses. Some have dubbed it the Monster Hunter’s Holy Book. While Magister Heidenclark did his best to cross-reference and verify the information, the book is not entirely accurate. However, there is a 25% chance the information regarding any specific creature is inaccurate or flawed. Also, there are various versions of the book in circulation, as others have added to the original work long after the Magister’s death, and it is possible for two different versions of the book to have conflicting information.
