Shouni is a small family of ninja who focus in the utilization of hand-carved quarterstaffs. Never ones to stand out in any testing, they are relatively unknown, even in Suna.
At 8 years old they are given a quarterstaff to suit their height and enter the Academy later than most students. When they reach 18 they must go and carve their own quarterstaff from the little materials found in the desert of wind country, using only their hands and feet to acquire them.
Shouni children are not allowed to use any weapon other than a quarterstaff and may not become a ninja(thus becoming a disgrace to their family) unless they learn to use one perfectly. Only a few have failed to use the quarterstaff properly through their entire history.
Crazy Tradition»
Why such a tradition is in place dates back to the foundings of the family. Sinsuke's great, great, great, great, ..., great grandfather got lost in the desert while traveling across it. A great sandstorm pulled it's way across him, covering him and his horse. As he thought all hope was lost, a wandering giant(The size of the scorpion has been changed too many times to know how big it really was, fish story) scorpion began to attack. The old man, not a ninja, pulled a long stick(presumably a walking stick, but the story has been changed so many times it is unknown where he got the stick or what it was) from his belongings and began to fight the scorpion. The man found that he had an innate talent for this staff and fought back the "giant" scorpion with ease, thus creating a tradition.
A few generations down the family line, a ninja was born of the family and picked up the staff as easily as his (number of generations unknown) grandfather? did. After a long life of living and being a ninja, he developed what is now known as the Shouni family Crest. The Inch long quarterstaff with a carved mountain with eyes in the background.
Present»
The family crest has been changed once or twice over the years but the general idea stays the same. Currently the crest is carved into the middle of every staff that a Shouni family member makes to mark them as their own, underneath the crest are usually carved with the Initials of the owner.
