Jomei ran up the streets with tears streaming down his face. He couldnt believe what just had happened and why he was running. He made a promise with his mother to never leave his father no matter what happens but one thing led to another. He looked at the puppet in his hand while he was running. It was a small and simple puppet for beginners but it was his favorite. His mother had used it to sooth him into sleep before bedtime with it. Together his mother and he called it Hoshizora (Starry Sky) because of the endless amounts of times it was used underneath the bright and starry sky above their theater. It looked like a little boy with stars around the eyes and a smile across the mouth. The puppet wore a black cape that was covered in little stars. To him it could take on any character and protect him in his sleep from harm as it normally hung over his bed in the time that his mother was alive. But his father was in so much grief of his mothers death that he took it down and kept it with the other puppets in the theater. In a way Jomei was glad this puppet was thrown at him it had some sort of meaning to it. On the back in a secret opening compartment that only he knew of was a note that his mother wrote to him on her final mission before she died. It was the reason why he knew he had to join the academy and become stronger. He never told his dad about it because he knew what his dad's reactions would be like. It read:

Jomei,

Look after your father no matter what happens to me on this mission. It was assigned to me, and yes i know it will be a tough one. But, if i dont make it back please look after him. I know you think that this note is probably crazy but one day it could happen. Please dont let your abilities of good bigheartedness go to waste. What ever you do share it with others and join the Academy. Your father may protest but i believe you will do great. Please dont let our puppet skills die. I will always love you.

Your Mother,

Reimei

Her sympathetic and sweet voice still rang in his head while he read it. He knew what he was doing so he continued running taking a few breaks in between when he found a bunch of boxes and barrels on the ground. He dove inside and hid until morning so he could present this to the academy teacher and finally be a student. Because all he wants to do is to learn how to control his puppets.

Jomei sat inside the mound of boxes that covered him and looked around the small shelter he had constructed out of boxes and barrels. After he was sure that he wasnt drawing any attention with this shelter he snuggled inside holding Hoshizora to his chest. He could remember the time when he first met this little puppet. It was the time his mother told him how the light of the earth came to be. It went along the lines of that the village was shrouded in darkness for a time and nothing couldnt penetrate it. The Kage tried all she could to stop this catastrophe but failed in the end. One day, as he remembered, a traveler cam along and saw the gloom looming over the village. With a wave of his hand he brought out a small wooden figure that looked like a little boy and sent flying into the air. When the little boy came at the peak, light began to consume him and form a ball. With a flash there was nothing left of that puppet but a great ball of light later known today as the sun. The villagers rejoiced but wondered what could have possibly helped them by sacrificing themselves. The young traveler came forth and declared to all that the boys name was Jomei. His soul purpose was to spread he light and bring happiness and let there be a guide to others. Jomei remembered the parade of dancing puppets as his mother and father put on this fascinating play and Hoshizora played as the traveler and little Jomei. Jomei smiled at this little story, but still remembered the rest. His mother described that all the other villages had the same issue with the looming darkness and demanded that they could have a ball of light as well to help their village. The traveler explained to the others that only one of these puppets could be in the sky and would gladly share it with them. With a wave of his hands he set the ball of light into motion and created the first day and night for all the world. His parents explained that when Jomei was born that he was their ball of light bringing happiness to their faces and hope in their eyes so they named him Jomei, spreading light. They also explained that this was the start of the puppet masters and the traveler was his ancestor he was Rialto. [please note this could change if Aruil says no.]. Jomei smiled at this memory it was one of the few that he could remember when his dad was actually happy. He hugged the little puppet and did not want to let go of that memory.

The scroll unfurled revealing twelve depictions of a set of hands forming various designs. A brief explanation was written below the drawings.

Ninjutsu is the art of using chakra to perform techniques that enable humans to do otherwise impossible things. The first lesson for aspiring ninjas is to master forming handseals. Handseals are what allow us to mold chakra inside of our bodies correctly to perform techniques.

Above the drawings was a small blurb.

For use by Konohagakure shinobi only.

Handseals
Description: The first thing the students needed to learn were the handseals that made the Jutsus possible. All twelve should be familiarized. The rules are as follows: Roll 1d20 for each seal, one at a time. The Student must get a 12 or higher in order to correctly perform a seal. Each seal must be performed once correctly before being learned. Use the formula: [1d20 + Int Mod. = (#)].
DC: 12
Total Seals Learned: 0/12
**note: No Hp or Cp cost.

He now felt comfortable that he was able to move on to the second one on the scroll. He fidgeted on the hard ground. But he would not let it stop him. He read over the second hand sign and began to mimic it like he did before. He noticed it was harder but he believed that he could do it. But it was alot harder than he thought and he messed up.

8-1= 7 Fail

sorry forgot to roll

He sighed at the fact that he messed up on only the second one. But then he looked at his puppet and decided to try it again. He looked at the scroll once more. He slowly put his hands up and re read the scroll. Slowly he re-did the hand sign and fingered the sign. He flinched thinking he failed because he hated failure. He looked at the scroll and the sign again. Then he looked at his puppet and smiled. But frown at the fact that he couldnt get the sign right.

5-1=4 Fail (again ugh)

Alright one more time ill get it this time! He thought this as he brought his hands up in frustration. He kept getting it wrong and he knew that he couldnt stop now. He put his hands up and made the sign one more time. He knew what the sign was and he memorized the right way to do it. But for some reason his hands kept messing up and fumbling over themselves. He made the sign one more time. He smiled at the fact that he finally got it right.
