time for lorestuff !! ft . the kids at the peak of their skills
in this iteration , the hamato clan start training at ten years old .
on their tenth birthday , a child will be given their first training weapon , as well as a locked box containing the weapon they will use when they have mastered their discipline . for now , they are taught to take great care of the box , and their adult keeps the key until they are ready for it
once they have completed their training and opened the box , they are also awarded a title , which represents the aspect in their training which stood out most . this title is mostly ceremonial , but over the years , many ninjas’ real names have been forgotten , and only their ceremonial titles remain
when these four get their titles , they will be called Leonarda the Lightfoot , Raphael the Ruthless , Donatello the Disciplined , and Michelangelo the Mystic
