ZED'S HUGE LORE THEORY. PLEASE READ, IT MIGHT CHANGE THEY WAY YOU SEE IT.

(THIS IS A LORE THEORY, IT MAY CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE IT)

In 's Lore it states that in the ancient order, there was a perfect balance. Order, Chaos, Light, and Darkness and that everything must be in perfect harmony... But pay attention to the four given words... The order consisted of trained warriors call the "Shadow Warriors." Sure they train to use the shadows as warriors, but what if they also have another meaning?

is Order, keeping balance and eliminating those who threaten it. is Light, trusted with the sacred duty of Coursing the Sun. is the Eye of Twilight (to me I would relate it to the moon). I don't have much to connect it to, but the moon causes CHAOS with earth's oceans from it's gravity, pushing and pulling the the tides... Almost as if making enemy want to push away from , not wanting to get into a situation they shouldn't be, after he pulls (TAUNTS) them toward him. Being the last one... is Darkness, Master of the Shadows.

What if never could win the favor of 's father not because he wasn't his son, but because 's father already knew might cause trouble because he had a Dark background since he was an abandoned child, lacking (possible) discipline. But in 's lore, it says "But somehow the master knew he used forbidden ways, and banished him." DUN DUN DUN....... 's father could have suspected with 's DARK background, he had done a Dark deed (Opened a Forbidden Box) to win a battle against , being that they were always equal.

When returned with his army and the master sitting there almost as if he was waiting for him. 's father told to come inside, destroy the box, and lead his followers to balance. So follows the master inside, everyone hears cry out in pain, then walk out with the masters head... HUGE THEORY HERE, DON'T JUDGE.

Being that these are the four MAIN ninjas, without putting too much thought into the others that the master has trained. What if not only being just the master, but also the master of each Alignment... Here it is, don't judge it, everything is pretty crazy right now with ideas... After training the four main Shadow Warriors, he gave them a title, but since each of them had a SPECIFIC ALIGNMENT, what if 's father (with something that was not mentioned in any lore) used an ancient, unmentioned technique, to give that shadow warrior a part (ONE OF FOUR TOTAL PARTS) of his soul, to help them with what they were suppose to do. And what if knew about this, and it's why he saved these TWO SPECIFIC Shadow Warriors?

What am I getting at? WHAT IF WHEN KILLED THE MASTER, HE SCREAMED BECAUSE HE KILLED THE ONLY THING HIS SOUL COULD HOLD ON TO WHICH WAS WHY 'S FATHER GAVE HIM THAT PART OF HIS SOUL, WHILE HIS OWN SOUL WAS BEING DEVOURED AND CORRUPTED BY THE FORBIDDEN SHADOWS!!!

I did a lot of backtracking and double checking to make sure I had everything so it could make sense... I hope... Maybe this could help you with a theory of your own?

Please be open to my idea, and let me know what you think if you want to share your thoughts and idea's.
