I fully translated the preview of the Shinobi Compendium, including the stupid poem with all the weird-sounding archaic yojijukugo idioms.

You can read it here: User:FF-Suzaku/Databook_4/Shinobi_Compendium.

Key points:
 * The Otsutsuki clan migrated to Earth from another world in search of the Divine Tree's fruit.
 * After sealing the Gedo Statue, Hamura took leadership of the clan and decreed that they would guard the statue, while Hagoromo stayed behind to preach ninshu to the people.
 * When he realized he was near death, Hagoromo partitioned the Ten Tails' chakra to create the bodies of the nine Tailed Beasts.
 * After being tempted by Black Zetsu, Indra rejected "ninshu" and in defiance used his inherent talent to invent "ninjutsu," with which he challenged Asura. Thus Indra was the originator and first user of ninjutsu.
 * Creation of All Things is fully named.
 * Although the "fragments of Yin-Yang Release" form the basis of many techniques, shinobi have historically been unable truly use Yin-Yang Release.
 * It states that Naruto was able to perfectly demonstrate the power of Yin-Yang Release after obtaining Hagoromo's power. The panel this caption goes with is the one in which Naruto is trying to explain to Sakura how he created Kakashi's new left eye, meaning he used Yin-Yang Release to create it, not just Yang Release to "regenerate" it.
 * The Uchiha tended to inherit Yin Release power, while the Senju tended to inherit Yang Release power.
 * Genjutsu, including those cast with the Sharingan, are primarily Yin Release.
 * Many hiden (secret tradition) jutsu are based on Yin Release and Yang Release.
 * The Akimichi Clan's body expansion techniques are Yang Release.
 * The Nara Clan's shadow manipulation techniques are Yin Release.

I'll translate the other two sections when they're available. Beyond that I'll probably only translate a few other things that specifically interest me or that would help clarify unresolved issues.

Note: I'll be using the official Viz terminology on this because I'm using the official English translations as a reference source while working on it.
