Standing at the front desk of the library was a civilian with long blonde hair and pink coloured eyes. While dressed rather casually in a sleeved blouse and a pair of black shorts, the spark of cunning intelligence within her eyes was easily noticed. When she asked the librarian about the sections holding topics such as politics, law and military sciences, the man behind the desk lifted his eyes up and peeked at her from over his glasses, taking in the eighteen or so year old girl. She gave a resolute smile, as if it was the most normal lecture to partake on an early morning. The man eventually scratched his head in response, giving up the letters of the sections where she would find what she had been looking for - J, K & U.
Mouthing a thank you, she moved towards the first section he had given her shortly after and allowed her eyes to scroll through the available titles concerning "political science". The selection was large, filled with writers having their piece of mind to share. Former politicians, criticisms, wanna-be politicians. All sorts of writers, one more credible than the other. Taking out a book labelled, "History and Politics", Asami decided a global idea on politics would not be a bad starter for the topic. She had plans of her own for the future, and so she needed to know what to expect. After another few minutes of browsing through the section, two more books would be added to the pile before she made her way toward the next section - Law.
Not surprisingly, the lore on law was that of Kumogakure tying in with the application of it by police, military and even hints of shinobi. While the KSIS Field Agent knew well enough what the law of her own home village entailed, she considered that brushing up on the finer details never hurt. If anything, the finer details of the law were a pesky cacophony of exceptions and irregularities that often muddled the more sober and cleaner statements of the law. Exactly those muddling details was what she needed to know, to ensure that as a KSIS member she always had a means of escaping should skill and deception not work in her favour. Any means to preserve her actual mission was a good means. Adding, "Kumogakure no Sato: laws, rules, systems, story" to the staple in her arms as a book said to have a solid foundation on the matter, the next section of the library awaited her - section U, military sciences.
The last section was thin in comparison to the others. Perhaps because military sciences were often considered as classified, perhaps because the interest of the common populace on the matter was not as broadly discussed as with other sections. After all, what was there to rant about the military forces or their weapons in comparison to the bountiful mistakes made by the government and the intricacies of law itself? When it came to weapons, the general consensus was either 'weapons are cool' or 'weapons are bad'. Rarely one would make a distinct difference between which weapon was considered an asset in war, and which one was better left out of the field. And when they did make they distinction, it generally didn't matter as the weapons were often outdated and out of service since newer, better means had taken their place. Only... such information was top secret.
It was nonetheless remarkable to note that Asami picked up a book labelled, "Book of Kinjutsu - Isaki Kushin" within the section. The very meaning of kinjutsu being Forbidden Technique, it was possible this little book had slipped past the watchful gaze of the librarian - shinobi knowledge as dangerous as this was not meant for the eyes of the common folk. Taking the book out of the shelves, she hid it in between the other books she had picked and added a few others to enrich her staple with more militaristic knowledge. With the large staple adding quite some weight, she moved over to the nearest table, placed her selection of books there and took place in one of the chairs around the table. That done, the first one to disappear under her blouse was the book of kinjutsu, her movement so swift it would have seemed as if she was just briefly tucking at her blouse to adjust it. Then, the first in a list of many books was taken from the staple and opened, its contents available for her to read.
