Located near the center of the city, as one of the taller buildings surrounding the Kazekage's offices, the Sunagakure Library is immense. Filled with thousands upon thousands of books, both ancient and modern, the rows of books are seemingly endless and one could easily lose themselves within it's five floors of endless texts.
The building is three stories high, each floor containing a wealth of information regarding history, shinobi basic theory, art, craftsmanship, literature, fiction, non-fiction, etc. You can find nearly anything involving the annals of Sunagakure history here if you do enough research, or of many other village's histories as well (though obviously, not with as much detail as any one village's own library might have on its own history)
The two underground floors are reserved for village shinobi, and are where the various scrolls for rental are held.The first basement floor is split into three sections, each one holding certain types of scrolls, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu, respectively. The sub-basement floor is restricted and are where kinjutsu are held in secured locations along with other texts logging more 'top secret/confidential' village history details, like those regarding the bijuu, or other village secrets.
Scrolls must be returned after they have been used, and cannot be shared or given to another RPC after they have been used. You can buy a single scroll containing either one jutsu, one full rank of a single type, or even one scroll with multiple full ranks included. (If buying a full rank, it is the cost of all the jutsu in that rank.)
The costs for scroll rentals are as follows:
Nin/Genjutsu
E-Rank: 100
D-Rank: 300
C-Rank: 600
B-Rank: 1,000
A-Rank: 1,500
S-Rank: 3,000
Taijutsu Moves
E-Rank: 150
D-Rank: 450
C-Rank: 900
B-Rank: 1,500
A-Rank: 2,250
S-Rank: 4,500
Customs
Nin/Gen/Tai/Ken/Any jutsu: .5x jutsu of equal rank. - Custom jutsu are not purchased as normal jutsu, but instead you buy “Theory Scrolls”, from the library, and use those to develop the jutsu.
Styles – Bought from NPC just as regular. If developed by RPC, bought in the form of “Theory Scrolls”, for the regular price.

   As David was about to leave the area, seeing the job pretty much complete and wanting to get on with other things, at least until the carpenters came in to get the actual construction started, he found himself approached by a woman he recognized as the head librarian. The woman smiled at him, in what he was rather surprised to note was a playful manner, and held out an open bag to him, filled to the brim with scrolls marked as E and D rank jutsu. "No favorites allowed Kazekage-Sama, you can only have one." she spoke, her teasing tone matching the look on her face, surprising him even more. It had been years since anyone dared speak to him that way. Normally he'd probably have taken it as disrespect, but the look in her eyes told him she was just having her own bit of fun. And that someone dared do that, with him of all people, actually earned a shred of respect in his eyes. So, rather than snap back in anger as he might have to a genin or other subordinate who showed that behavior, he merely gave a halfhearted glare as his hand dug into the bag, pulling out a scroll with barely a glance before shoving it in his pocket.
Shaking his head at the unusual event, David turned to leave, noting workmen coming in to finalize the area preparation and shipments of supplies already arriving. He would just be in the way at this stage, so he walked away, listening with half an ear as an ANBU trailing him explained about a group of genin forming to take on one of the more dangerous sectors of the market. Interested, he decided to go and see what came of that. He'd observed a few at the library, and how they dealt with the problems there, but how would they deal with looters? Actual combat against foes who may or may not have any training at all, but had showed themselves more than willing to fight for what they perceived to be theirs in the wake of the crises? It would certainly be interesting to see.

One contractor saw what Zero was thinking and nodded pointing to a group of workers with tools that would help mold the rumble into recyclable items. With that, Zero hoisted the wheel barrow once more and moved over towards the workers where the beginning stages of the reconstruction would begin.

Zeero SarutobiGenin ///Sunagakure ///----- |||Sarutobi's Legacy - Demios ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Once Zeero completed in moving the barrel over towards the workers, he was then pointed to help out with the roofing. Nothing too strenuous, other than moving the beams or the long panks of wood with the help of other workers, in order to start the step up of the roof. Creating, after enough climbs up the make shift stairs that surrounded one side of the skeleton of the building, the skeleton of the roof. Once one side was done, a similar process was made for the opposite side of the building. Then once again, repeated to the front and backsides of the building. Providing a portion of the roof, that would then need to be hammered down, and nailed, to provide the first portion of stabilization of the building.
Taking hammer and nails to himself, he hammered the nail down into the plank of wood, as requested by the worker that shadowed and worked beside him. Taking care of their corner of the building whilst the other workers mimicked in doing the same thing for their halves of the building. Once completed, there would be the need to increase the foundation further by adding planks through the rough, and provide something of a triangle shape. Something that would slide from one side of the building to the other. This was rather difficult, specifically because the weight of the plank, and the imbalance it gained the further it was pushed to the awaiting side of the the building. Being one who isn't very powerful in the strength department, found this very difficult after some time, but knew he had to push through the uncomfortability. Such weakness is unbecoming of an assassin. Weakness, that he would not allow himself to have weight him down, and with that, he'd grit his teeth and keep carefully sliding the plank forward with the other worker; doing his best, to keep his half of the work if not more, than the working that was working beside him.Library Construction - Post 2

David's eyebrows raised high as he returned to the library site and saw what had been done so far. Not because any impressive amount of work had been done, but because of what had been done first. Only the barest possible framework was up for the skeleton of the building, but there was already a crew of men high in the air putting together to building's roofing, something David had always assumed to be the last step in building construction. At least as far as the frame went. (It is. The roof of a building goes on only after the walls and often a fair bit of the interior supports are in place.) Spotting a man who he assumed to be the team's foreman from the fact he was standing on the ground shouting orders to the various groups, he made his way over, still casting puzzled glances at the roof.
"I won't claim to know much about construction..." David phrased slowly once he had the man's attention. "But isn't the roof generally the last part of a building, not the first?" At which the man looked at him for a moment, before chuckling. "You'd be right, in any other country. But this is the desert, and a fairly large job. The last thing my team wants is to stand in the sun all day dragging those blocks into place." He said, pointing to the side, at a large pile of large sandstone blocks, and wooden sleds obviously intended for dragging the blocks into place. "So step one was to create some shade for ourselves before the real work starts."
David nodded at that. It made sense enough. The blocks looked to be about 5x5 feet square, not something even a civilian with years of manual labor could move easily, especially in the desert sun. There were plenty of historical references to workers dying from just that, but still, with sandstone being the most available building material around, and wood being expensive to import, there was little choice but to use it, and if the blocks weren't large, their integrity was ruined and the structure would be unstable. That was where ninjas would come in handy then. Most, even the weakest, had strength far beyond the best of civilians, and would easily be able to move the blocks. The hardest part would be lifting them into place. He could do that part, he supposed, though he'd rather not spend the next few days, or however long the job took, lifting stones for a construction job. "Tell some of your men to start marking out where the blocks go." he told the foreman, deciding to at least do some of the work. He was getting bored doing nothing and wanted this job over with. So, while the foreman did as he asked, David made his way over to the block pile.

Instead of going to the Market Place like he said he would, Axel decided to check on the library. Whatever was needed of him in the market place, or what was left of it after what had happened in the village, could be taken care of by the people that the other Shinobi, Enro, had recruited for the little group get together, or so he assumed. One would think that with one person less in the group he would eventually go find another person, but a large built man such as him could easily do the work of at least two men, or four of Axel as far as he could see it. Added to that the girl that was with him in the Ramen Shop seemed very able bodied herself, and worked with some proficiency in the clean up, so he wasn't needed as far as he knew, and in the end, he truly wasn't, not with the amount of people that actually showed up.
He looked around and saw the same redhead in the area, the boy that had helped him work earlier in the day right after the Kazekage pulled his little stunt and bound Axel to those wretched weights; joy. He shook his head, letting his hair flow a bit with the movement, shifting from left to right as he moved his head. " Time to get to work I guess. " He would say to himself, shifting his eyes away from the Genin that was already there, looking for another place that he could help with the work to make things flow smoothly, more so than what it already was; the more people worked here, the faster it would be done, specially if they worked on different aspects of the building phase of re-making the library. That way the labor force was well expanded and would have the ability to work efficiently, and fairly quickly.
He heard the Kazekage's voice and froze up slightly, shifting his eyes over to the man, taking a quick gulp. He was talking with the workers, so that could leave him to think that he wasn't there to scold the living daylights out of him, though Sunagakure didn't revolve around Axel, so he couldn't expect the kazekage to be following the boy twenty four seven while he was doing missions to find out what he was doing, but he had every right, or at least some, to be paranoid of the man's presence, but he would get into some real deep trouble if he didn't get to work, and quick. He scanned his eyes around quickly and decided to grab the first thing he would find, in this case some corner casings and other materials which he could carry all at once and head on over to the head construction man, the one that was talking to the Kazekage, and ask him where he should take those materials, and more importantly if he could do something else to help out, or if there was something that he needed done, which was likely to be plenty.
The genin walked over to where the kazekage was, hindered by the leg weight's constant pulling of his legs, a fact which irritated him greatly, but there was not much he could but try to log his legs around like two sacks of potatoes and just walk over, all the materials being held in between his two crossed arms, getting his already dirty and raggedy shirt, which used to be his favorite, into a worse state than what it was, which was a huge pity, for him at least. " Excuse me. " Axel stated, stopping near the construction worker, a bit far from David a that. " Where should I put these materials? I read on one of the labels its used for building the corners of the library, not sure if it is the inside or not, though I'm sure it doesn't matter..." Axel trailed off talking for a brief moment, shaking his head to bring himself back on to the subject at hand. " I was hoping you could tell me where I can put them seeing as the area that is going to be built isn't marked out, and since I said that already maybe help mark it out." He would wrap up the talking, half expecting a comment or repremention from David for not taking an initiative and marking without asking, but then again, how could he mark what he didn't know actually had to be marked?

As a boy approached him with an armful of corner materials, the foreman's eyebrows raised. At the question of where to put the stuff, they attempted to raise further, failed, and giving up sank back to their normal position. "Back on the pile. Those are used on interior walls. The outside corners are those over there." with that, the man pointed back towards where David was, aiming not at the massive stone blocks, but at the much larger stone pillars beside them. Not something any one person was going to move on their own. Not even the Kazekage, as they were granite, not sandstone.
At the boy's further offer to help marking out the walls, the man nodded. They actually did need someone on that, since the kazekage seemed to plan on moving the sandstone blocks for them. A massive relief to all the men he was sure, but he would need somewhere to put them. "Alright, see the man standing there, by the yellow post?" he asked, pointing out the worker in question, who was holding a large steel reeling tape measure. "He's getting ready to square up the walls, but he needs a second person to hold the end of the tape measure. Once you've dropped that gear, help him out." With that, the man went back to what he was already doing, checking his clipboard and yelling out orders to various workers.
{ You get my favorite (Sarcasm) part of a job! Yay! Seriosuly though, I've done this one a hundred times, and it's never fun, but it's easily doable for even a five year old (No exaggeration, that's when I started doing it.). What you need to do is take the end of the tape measure, and pull it out to the far corner of the building. At each corner will be one of the yellow poles mentioned. On each pole will be a mark where you need to hold the line, tightly, while the guy on the other end seems like he's trying to rip it out of your hands he's pulling on it so hard to get it nice and tight. This repeats about six times as you have to compare every corner, to every other corner. The worker will adjust the poles occasionally and measure them again, until he's happy with the square.
Once that's done, he'll produce a long string, which must be strung tightly between the poles near ground level, and some lime to mark the ground along the string. In the end, those lines become the guideline for placing the wall. (This can be a second post if you like.)
Anyone who can't think of anything to do, or just doesn't know enough about the subject matter to really do anything, can go to the foreman and ask, and I'll come up with something for you. I know enough about construction to bullshit my way through.
Also, the post count is still at two. David didn't do anything but talk to the foreman so far, and Axel just wasted his own time. XD}

Zeero SarutobiGenin ///Sunagakure ///----- |||Sarutobi's Legacy - Demios ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zēro blinked and looked after having completed some of the reinforcement to the roofing, as there was a bit of ruckus below. Wiping his sweating crown, the teal eyed assassin in training looked over from his position to see that the Kazekage had arrived. To Zēro, he had nothing much to think of the young man other than the fact of his youth. To have enough power to obtain the status of Kage at such an age is phenomenal! It was something to definitely look forwards to in terms of him not needing to be in his thirties just to make a name of himself. Or worst, be like his ancestors and be so old he can't competently defeat a person, that in their prime, he wouldn't have a problem with.
Shaking his head, Zēro decided he'd keep working. Setting up the roofing so that the workers won't return to their homes being in a small decorative pot with a set of flowers. It was true, this would make it a little more difficult or "unique" in building the building, but there have been sayings that in ancient civilizations of Suna, buildings have been built from the top down. Pyramids, if he remembers his studies from the Academy. Of course they aren't building one, but some concepts of old always are kept in some way or fashion.
But he was told to stop, so that can further give the building support to the roof, and support in general. Being waved over again, Zēro walked over to the foreman, "Since we have more people working, we can space out the work a little better to make this entire job end a little easier. To support the roofing and the building, we will be building columns amongst the inner portions of the building. They will be three rows and three columns throughout the building. It will give not only a more solid sense of structure but also a nice look once the decorations are made. So here-,"He said giving Zēro a shovel and pointing to the schematics of the floor plans, to where he wanted Zēro to be, "Start digging a rectangle hole with one of my workers, to be about two feet deep. That will be where the foundation of the column will be placed. Once finished there, do so here, here, here, here, here, and here." The foreman said, point to each place he wished to have the foundations made, "If you need reference again of the place, just ask me and I will inform you again." Zēro blinked to the amount of work, but... it had to be done.
Taking the shovel and going to his destined spot where he saw someone already digging. Seeing as no other person was just randomly digging and it looked about the area the foreman requested that he dig, Zēro decided he was in the right area. "Is this the designated spot the foundation of the building is suppose to be?"Zēro asked, wanting to make sure before he himself put his shovel into the sand. With a nod and a gesture to the specifically stacked out grounds, Zēro moved within the radius of the digging area and began to start digging, and throwing the sand outside of the required spot. Stopping from time to time to let the worker he was digging with, check the depth in which they have already dug before continuing again if their was confirmation that they had not dug down to the needed height.

Axel lowered his head slightly when he was told that those weren't used for the portion of the building that they were going to be working on, not because he had wasted his time going over to him carrying them, hell no that was the least of his worries. It was because most likely the Kazekage had seen him, and more than that, he would have to walk over to the Kage soon enough to pick up the materials in question; never fun, never fun at all. He would release a sigh in defeat and not, he had no choice in the end of it all now did he? He took the pile of items back on to where they were before. Axel walked slowly there and placed them neatly on the ground where they were prior to him moving them and then Axel just took a deep breath in. “Now to do the real work.” He’d say, his tone showing protest and much disgust in the entire situation, he didn’t like the fact that he had to wear these weights while working, they just slowed him down, but he could feel their weight being lifted from him ever so slowly, which was a relief.
He walked over to where the man had told him, trying to look as capable as possible when passing anywhere near David, all of this for his own good. “I was sent here to help with the measurements.” He said, grabbing the measuring tape, walking over to the yellow post, the other man grabbed on to one end and pulled on, running on to the opposite side to get the right measurement of the area, the first one, a rather long straight line which was going to be the first wall of the library from what he could tell, but those things could change, and they usually did in a moment’s notice so he wouldn’t come to any conclusions until later on.
After the first measurement the man called Axel over to where he was, quickly swiping what was in his hands, giving him the object that was used to measure, meaning that now he was going to be the one that would be running to the opposite side, yay. " ... Fine." He said holding on to the measurement part of the tape, shaking his head as he did. Axel ran to the other side of the area, from one pole to the other with much trouble because of the weights, stumbling, and almost falling, at least twice, making him look like a fool, or so he thought. Once he got there the man wrote down the measurements and they repeated the same cycle for the remaining walls, taking them about fifteen minutes to get the rest of the work done. With that done the rest of the work could be done and the walls could finally be brought in place.

Leaning against the blocks, David watched as the boy he'd met before joined the crew. He'd missed the part where the boy tried to start right in, grabbing the wrong materials, but even so he got an amusing show as the kid walked up to one of the men and grabbed his measuring tape. The man, assuming the kid knew what he was doing had done as he was accustomed to and made the run to the other corner. But, when Axel failed to do as expected and provide the measurements and calculations he was after, the man realized a mistake had been made, switching ends of the line and making the boy do the running instead. After that, despite Axel's stumbling as he evidently hadn't quite figured out how to move in weights yet, it only took a few minutes to finish the base measurements and get the walls lined up.
Another pair joined the process at that point, stringing a line between the poles and quickly running down the lines, drawing a line on the ground in lime. Once the first wall was drawn out, the foreman gestured towards David, and with a nod the boy started his own bit of the job. Slowly, more carefully than usual, and with a bit more effort than he'd expected, the boy raised one of the blocks into the air, only succeeding in making it rise a few inches from the ground, to his surprise. Not to be dissuaded, he began to walk, moving the large block of sandstone over to the building and positioning it as indicated by a crewman who seemed to have joined him for this job, standing where the blocks were to be placed and making minor adjustments to the positioning as David held them aloft.
It took a full minute to get the first block placed satisfactorily to the man. The next took half as long, David moving much faster and needing less instructions on placement. The third took only a few seconds to place, that speed becoming standard quickly, for the first layer as they wrapped around the entire building, taking longer to place by sheer merit of distance walked as they rounded to the back of the building.

Zeero SarutobiGenin ///Sunagakure ///----- |||Sarutobi's Legacy - Demios ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It took a couple of hours admittedly to dig each hole. Not only because they were digging manually but because they were having to break through the concrete that was on the ground floor first, before actually getting to the ground. This secretly brought frustration to Zēro as he wasn't told of this aspect of the job requirement. Shaking his head, Zēro kept at it, swapping with his partner every once other dig spot, in cracking open the concrete before digging the plot. This work, made Zēro do something that is rather rare for the youth to ever do. Removing his hoodie, Zēro revealed the lean form of an Assassin prone shinobi. Garmented in traditional shinobi wear, Zēro took the time to air himself out a little and wipe his sweating crown before continuing to make the plots within the building. Once that is finished, the building of the skeleton's of the columns were to now be made, and provide the extra support for the buildings.
First would be the utilization of metal beams. Metal beams, within the columns, provides a more solidified structure of a building. What Zēro did, was help with the other workers, in pushing up the metal supports into the previously dug out holes in the building, and place them underneath the roof supports. Giving further support to the roofing. From there, they would secure the top portion of the support while they did the same. He'd rather rinse and repeat with this process in addition to the other work, which would rather systematically make the finishing of the library occur rather briskly. Post 4

Zeero SarutobiGenin ///Sunagakure ///----- |||Sarutobi's Legacy - Demios ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This was, or at least on Zero's end, the last thing he needed to do. Pulling up the metal beams and then holding them until the people on the roofs could secure and fasten the beams. Everything else, was more so going to be decoration, which is something that he himself wouldn't be needed for. After collecting his payment and having it documented, Zero departed from the work sight to do some more missions. There were two down, now he had three more to go before finally being at ease and rest.

As David walked down the street, on his way to the library, trails of sand followed him, darting up his sleeves and pant legs. Once again, the hospital had lost his old clothes, not that he would fit in those anyways, but again they had lost his sandbags as well. Honestly though, he'd decided not to care this time. He wouldn't even bother with it, as he could passively hold the sand into his clothes without the bags anyways. Really, they were just a relic of a time gone by at this point. As his clothes began to tighten, feeling over filled, he raised his hands momentarily in a single seal, pulsing chakra through the sand and crushing it down, allowing more to take it's place. By the time he reached the library, he had repeated that twice more, leaving him with, in his opinion, a comfortable layer of sand over most of his body, discreetly hidden by his clothes.
As he came within view of the library at last, David stopped, looking up at it with a rare smile. This, was much better. He hadn't had a chance to see it completed yet, but this was great. Where the old library had been a crumbling dingy little place, with holes in the floors and dust on all the shelves, and even a hidden room that supposedly held all the village secrets, but upon further examination, held only spiders and grime, this new one, this was a monument. Stone pillars at the corners, engraved sandstone blocks for the walls, and someone had even added cloth hangings to the outside. It was beautiful.
Quickly abandoning his admiring of the architecture, before anyone could see him, he dropped the smile, and began walking again, heading directly inside. A simple wave of the hand to the guards, intermixed of course with several covert signals saw him past without any difficulty, despite his much altered appearance. The thought crossed his mind that he'd have to make a public appearance to reacquaint the people with his new look, but that thought was quickly crushed with the force of the Cloverfield monster revived and dropped from heaven. A public appearance would be an annoyance. Planning, execution, and dealing with annoying people for no good reason. Besides, if he held off, he had precious anonymity with those he didn't make direct contact with, at least for awhile.
Another smile crossed his face at that thought, of not having random nobles, officials, or even just merchants trying to pull him aside as he walked through town. He'd only been publicly revealed for a short time before going into the hospital again, but still, he'd had more of that than he could ever want.
Turning his attention back to why he was here in the first place, David made his way through the rows of books and scrolls, examining each title in passing, occasionally picking one up and peeling back the cover for a closer examination. Most he put back almost immediately, but a few found their way into his trusty satchel, which the hospital had thankfully not lost on him. After awhile, he found what he had come in search of specifically. Hair jutsu. There were only a few, some of which, while he rolled the scroll out entirely to examine and thought looked quite useful, he had to return as, much as he hated to admit it, they were above his understanding. Another, while interesting, he found he had no use for. Creating a shell of hair, which could barely block anything at all was nigh on useless to him, even if it dig cut up the attacker as well. The only reason for learning it would be for the principles of the more interesting one, which he wasn't ready to learn yet.
Sighing, he shoved that back on the shelf, taking up the only one that actually seemed useful. Kamisori Ke. Basically a jutsu to cut off the hand of anyone foolish enough to grab him by the hair. Excellent, but he wished he could have gotten the more potent Shogiyomi. Shaking his head to disperse that thought, he turned to head to the counter, his "Shopping" done for the moment. A little ways down the row though, something caught his eye. Turning to see it more clearly, his eyes widened slightly at what he found. Killing Intent. He'd heard of it, even liked to think he'd used it in some way himself, but to actually understand the principles, and use it properly? His hand stretched out to take the scroll, before changing it's arc to grasp his head as he felt a sudden impact from within.
"TAKE IT! Take it takeit takeittakeit takeit!" He flinched as the Ichibi's voice bellowed in his mind, before dropping back into a near gleeful rendition of it's usual attitude, insisting with disturbing glee that he take the scroll. Not one to deny himself an interesting experience, especially if just to spite his constant companion, David took the scroll, adding it to the collection he'd be taking with him even as he noted the Ichibi's chant reverting to his usual ranting about death and murder, before fading away.
It was odd. Maybe a previous host had used the technique and the Ichibi particularly enjoyed it? The beast hadn't come through that clearly, nor insistently, in quite awhile. A gift he was often thankful for. His early days as a host had been trying, to say the least, with the Ichibi urging him to do things relentlessly. The only way to make it stop was to concede, and that often had not ended well. Hopefully this wasn't a sign of reversion to that, because he could do without the constant headache.
Going to the counter, David showed the scrolls he was taking before depositing them all in his bag, and making his way out, indicating that an ANBU would be by to pay for the scrolls later, as he had no money on him. But that was fine, or would be fine anyways, as he left without giving the woman a chance to complain. Taking to the road, he aimed for the administrative district, intending to get to his office and hide himself away. The ANBU were already on standing orders that nothing short of an international emergency was to interrupt his training, and he fully intended to take full advantage of that fact.
