Fancy yerself a ninja, eh? Well, drown me in wine an' call me a moogle─ye'll be wantin' a pair o' Yoshimitsu, then, won't ye?
That's two tricksy pieces o' steel! I tell ye, only a few in Eorzea have even heard the name. A few more know that old rhyme about the bloke what forged them. Mayhap ye are among them? No? Ah, well, it goes somethin' like this...
There once was a Far Eastern smitty, Well versed in makin' blades pretty. “Far thicker than most,” O' his dagger he'd boast...
And its thrust was well known in the city! Hmmm... Might be the prick in that poem ain't the point o' no blade. Er, anyroad, the man forged fine steel what bears his name. Fact of it is, his daggers have graced the hands o' many a hero an' heir to a high house.
Ye know, Yoshimitsu daggers have been on me mind o' late. Down at the tavern, I heard somethin' about Lominsans raidin' a Garlean ship, an' plunderin' a pair o' blades from her hold. Seems the privateers lost their booty when they ran afoul o' the fishbacks, though.
Now, the whole thing reeks o' grog─an' that oughta mean somethin' comin' from yours truly! But if there's an onze o' truth to the story, then yer daggers'll be somewhere in the Sapsa Spawning Grounds.

— Gerolt, when asked to restore a weapon for a Ninja.

But what's done is done...or in this case, not done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains an account o' how a Far Eastern ninja named Sasuke brought ninjutsu to Doma.
Seems ninjutsu was invented in a land far to the east of Othard's shores─same isle as where Sasuke grew up. The bloke was the best ninja about, so he gets secret orders or summat to cross the sea, an' makes his way to Doma.
Life for the Doman commonfolk was shite back then, what with the starvin' an' the poverty. The worst, though, was the bleedin' tyrant what ruled the place! Well, bein' the charitable sort, what's Sasuke to do but teach the smallfolk ninjutsu so they can win back their freedom?
So yer man trains some ninjas, an' together they boot the ruler's royal arse off the throne, an' put a dagger in his back for good measure. Well, with the dynasty dead, yer ninjas go lookin' for the spoils o' victory. An' what should they find in the palace vaults? Aye, a pair o' Yoshimitsu!
After that, the lot o' them headed to the outlands o' Doma to build a hidden village, so's to live as ninjas away from pryin' eyes. 'Tis there they wrote a bit on the Yoshimitsu, enough that I know now what's wrong. Seems the rhyme about the smitty ain't about his member's thickness: The daggers themselves are too damned slim!
See, the vamper's knives make a good host, an' what ye got now will slip 'twixt a man's ribs jus' fine. But Yoshimitsu were made o' folded steel what could pierce armor without shatterin' nor crumplin'. A thick blade─aye, that's what yer weapons are wantin' for.
