Prologue
Master Wu and the ninja head to a village outside of Ninjago City to stop a couple of chicken thieves. But they soon figured out that the thieves were actually foxes. Although he was disappointed that chicken thieves were just foxes, Jay replied that he doesn't mind coming here, as he thought it would be nice to take a break from training. Wu and the ninja soon learned that the villagers are celebrating a Turnip Festival.
But right when Jay mentioned that they should see traveling puppet show at the festival, Master Wu outbursts, saying that the they could do something else other than watching the puppet show. When Kai asked Wu what he has against puppets, Wu mentioned that it's a long story, and explained that it's part of his and Garmadon's journey to the northern ocean. Wu then sat near a tree with the ninja and proceeded to tell them what happened in the journey and his reason for hating puppets.

The Book of Spinjitzu
“THE ROAD IS LONG AND WINDING,
AND YOU ARE ONLY AT THE BEGINNING.”
I have studied Spinjitzu all my life, but there will
always be more to learn. My father, the First Spinjitzu
Master, taught me the ways of Spinjitzu and the wonders
of Ninjago — the world he created. Since I was a boy, I have
recorded these lessons so that I may teach others. Parts
of this book are from journals I kept as a child and young
man (yes, I was young once!). I wrote other parts as I have
continued my studies. Now, late in my journey through life,
I have added more notes to these pages . . .
To possess The Book of Spinjitzu is to bear a great
responsibility. The information it contains is to be used wisely,
and only for good. It is my hope that you, my reader, will let
the power of Spinjitzu unlock the True Potential within you and
become one of Ninjago Island’s great champions. Someday I will be
gone, and this book is my legacy . . . as are you.
“NOT ALL LESSONS ARE ABOUT FIGHTING.”
My father’s first lesson was this:
Spinjitzu is more than an ancient
martial art of punches, kicks,
flips, and throws. It is a
philosophy of living that
takes a lifetime’s journey
to acquire. As a boy, my
greatest desire was for
Father to teach my older
brother, Garmadon, and
me how to defeat the
forces of evil. Though I
would indeed learn how to

she fights, but also how she balances the Light and Darkness
(good and bad) within herself and the world around her.

Spinjitzu mirrors the qualities of its students. Only a true Spinjitzu
Master knows that human potential goes far beyond what most people can
imagine. Spinjitzu is a quest for total perfection. It may not be reached,
for the scroll . . . and he eventually found
it. We couldn’t believe what was inside it!
Here are the dark secrets it revealed:
It was wrong of me to steal from
my father. Years later, I realized I
should not have revealed his secrets in
this book. So I have removed them.
This knowledge should be kept
secret forever, but I was too young
“LEARN, PRACTICE, AND APPLY YOUR TRAINING.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DISCOVER YOUR PATH.”
As part of our training, Father has sent Garmadon and
me out to explore the world to experience the wonders he
created, meet its people, and learn some of the challenges
we will face as its defenders. “You cannot protect what
you do not understand,” he says.
I hope our trip will bring Garmadon and me closer
together. I miss my brother. I can see in his eyes
that he is fighting the growing evil coursing
through his veins. Perhaps our journey
will slow, or even stop, the progress of
that evil. I hope so.
I don’t know where destiny will
lead us, but we have made a
list of destinations. We hope
to have a new adventure in each
of these places.
1. A trip to the
Corridor of Elders

Ninjago Island’s heroes.

Though we set out on the same journey, we would soon
arrive on very different paths.

THE TRUST FACTOR
“A NINJA TRUSTS FEW, BUT TRUSTS THEM COMPLETELY.”
My duties as protector of the realm of Ninjago are so great that I
cannot spend every moment with the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. And
yet, it is only a matter of time before the forces of Darkness try to
take the weapons by force. I know that, and I fear that time will come
sooner than I expect.
Therefore, I have hidden the weapons in separate locations and posted
special guardians to protect them. Should anything happen to me, I have

“WE MUST SHARE OUR WISDOM WITH
THOSE WHO COME AFTER US.”
After weeks of searching, I have found the four young people destined
to become the protectors of the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. Each
ninja-in-training has great potential waiting to be unlocked. It is my
responsibility to help them become what they are meant to be.
Cole tested himself by climbing
one of the tallest mountains on
Ninjago Island, and I met him at
the peak. Something was troubling
Cole, and he was fighting it on
the inside. Cole always wants
to be the best at everything.
When I told him about the
potential I saw in him, he
was eager to study to become a
master of Spinjitzu.
Jay was testing his latest invention, mechanical wings, when he crashed in front of me
on a rooftop. He is energetic, funny, and tends to hide his insecurities behind jokes.
But he doesn’t hide his desire to help others. Jay will become the Lightning Ninja.
I found Zane at the bottom of a
frozen pond, trying to see how long
he could hold his breath. (The fish
around him were eager to learn
the answer, too!) Quiet, cool, and
logical, the aspiring Ice Ninja knows
little of his past, but I see a bright

Now I must train these very different personalities in the

“THE BEST WAY TO DEFEAT AN ENEMY IS TO MAK
Cole, Jay, Kai, and Zane have begun training together. They need to learn
how to wield their weapons and become skilled with Spinjitzu techniques. It
is taking some time for Kai to fit in. He and Cole are especially competitive
and rarely see eye to eye.
Sipping tea and saying “Fail” as they struggle
through training, like my father did for
Garmadon and me, makes me smile. (But only

of exercises and moves

routine. Some of those are
1. Taking a wide stance, lunge to the left,

without bending your back. Repeat with
3. Holding on to something for balance, lift
one leg behind you as high as you can.
Repeat with the other leg.
4. Lift and swing one leg from side to

Balance is key in every Spinjitzu movement.
Finding balance is everything!

guidance of a trained Spinjitzu Master.

2. Twist body from side to side as if you

exercises were a waste of time.
But after a week’s training, they
found they were a lot more flexible, and
they quickly changed their minds!
