Shinobi the world over clashed with each other for an endless amount of reasons. Some fought for money, some for honor. Some slaked their bloodlust and some sought vengeance. There were many reasons for the clans that stalked the elemental nations to disagree with each other but there would always be one thing that each and every one of them would agree on without question: a person 's Scrawl was sacred. To use someone 's Scrawl against them was to sink lower than the lowest murderer. To mock a Scrawl was the height of boorishness.
