When (Y/n) met Wu for the first time. . . .it took a while for the old man to recruit the future grey ninja.
(Canon)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Wu asked (Y/n) to come with him, the teen scooted back while holding a defensive pose. Sketchy of the old man who appeared out of nowhere and is a stranger to him.
"What do you want from me." (Y/n) asked, his guard up. He took note that if anything were to go wrong, he has an exit that'll lead him to a crowded area. From there, he could just scream or hide and run. Preferably the running and hiding.
The man in the straw hat shook his head, "I don't want anything from you. Just for you to come with me—"
"No. I don't know you. What if you're a murder and I'm your next victim or you're gonna drug me and then sell me or hide me in your basement?"
"I don't have a basement nor am I gonna do anything to you."
(Y/n) raised a brow, "How am I so sure?"
They talk a bit more as Wu tries to convince the future ninja to come with him, only for him to be denied. With the fate of Ninjago resting on his shoulders, and on the teen's, Wu holds out a dagger to (Y/n). The elder tells him that if he does anything out of the ordinary, he can attack him as an agreement for (Y/n) to come with him. The teen thinks about it before hesitantly taking the blade.
Fast forward to them walking up the stairs to the monastery, where (Y/n) is rethinking his life choices. What the fuck am I doing? Following a stranger that could potentially lead me to my undeniable doom? Will this weapon even protect me? Ugh, I blame you for this gut if I get killed. After all the help you did for me in surviving, I'll feel betrayed if things go sideways.
They reached the monastery and Wu opens the large doors. (Y/n) scans the place as Wu leads him through the empty yard before bringing him inside. As they walk through the empty and quiet halls, paranoia laced with fear and nervousness clouded the teen. (Y/n) grips the mantle of the blade before he felt a sudden tap on his shoulder, quickly raising alarms in his head, and immediately starts swinging at whatever was behind him.
To his shock, a boy older than him with black hair yelped as he jumped back to avoid his attack.
"What's wrong with you!? You don't swing sharp objects at people!" The older teen roared.
"What's wrong with you!? Sneaking up behind people!" (Y/n) screech.
"I wasn't sneaking up behind you, I tapped you on the shoulder!"
"I got startled okay! I'm in an unknown building following a man I don't even know!"
"It's not my fault you decided to follow a stranger!"
"Well, it's not my fault for defending myself!?"
When (Y/n) turned around, he suddenly came face to face with a boy with white hair.
"Hello."
"AH—"
-----
A couple of weeks after the incident; (Y/n) being introduced to the boys and the situation resolved, agreeing to be a ninja since no one would care if he died and for a noble cause since he has nothing better to do with his life, and adapting to the training and his new team; Wu brought an unknown boy with reddish-brown hair to the monastery.
It was during training, the trio training with separate outdoor equipment, when they heard Wu tell them to stop what they were doing and to come over to him. A boy they have never seen before was standing next to their Sensei in the doorway of the Monastery. (Y/n) accidentally forgot he was on the treadmill dummy equipment so when he stopped, he spun out of control before flying off and landing in front of the new guy. . .face first.
