Shosuro Tejina

The Shosuro Tejina School has its roots in two tings: the blood of its first students and the shadows they walked in. When the Lying Darkness revealed its true nature to the Scorpion who thought themselves the masters of the shadows, many within the darker ranks of the clan knew things would have to change.

When the Darkness was defeated at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate, the lords of the Soshi and Shosuro gathered up and questioned those who had been touched by the Darkness. Those who displayed any erratic behavior or even the vaguest display of Darkness-related abilities were slain. Some non-Scorpion that had been influenced by the Darkness were invited to the Scorpion lands; many died of mysterious causes while visiting the Shosuro. Any who refused the invitation were automaticallty viewed with suspicion and hunted by the true ninja.

After the last execution took place, Soshi Kuriname, the Soshi Shugenja who had coordinated the efforts wrote down everything he had witnessed and vanished. This journal was handed to Yogo Kakatsu, the first sensei of the Hidden Moon Dojo. Though the Darkness had been defeated, that Kuriname learned could possibly reawaken it. Kakatsu and every member of his small school faked their deaths within the next year, covering themselves in an impenetrable cloak of anonimity and confusion. (WoNinja, p.26-27)

There is another group that uses the name tejina, and belongs to the Shiba family. (Woninja, p. 27)
