The Beginning . As a young boy Wu lived at a monastery with his father and his brother , Garmadon , who was also his best friend . During one of their duels , Garmadon disarmed Wu ' s katana and accidentally flung it over the monastery walls . Since their father would be upset about it , Garmadon asked for Wu to go and retrieve the sword . However , Wu refused to get back the sword . Garmadon told Wu , " Never put off for tomorrow , what could be done today , " before hopping the wall to get back his brother ' s sword for him . However , Garmadon to got bitten by The Great Devourer and became infected with its evil . However , it would take years for the evil to consume his body . During those years , Garmadon and Wu banished enemies into the underworld that tried to steal the Golden Weapons and fought the Serpentine . When Wu and Garmadon became teenagers , they both fell in love with Misako . Because of this , Wu had written a letter to her . However , Master Chen , Garmadon ' s evil sensei , took the note and tricked Garmadon into rewriting it and giving it to Misako . Later , Wu , Garmadon , and the Elemental Masters battled against the Anacondrai Army . Although they lost , they soon found the Sacred Flute , and used it to defeat the army and banish them into the Cursed Realm . Misako also married Garmadon , and the two had a son , Wu ' s nephew Lloyd . It was revealed sometime when Garmadon was gone to train under Chen , Wu had found a homeless child , Morro , eating from his garbage . After feeling pity , Wu brought Morro inside his monastery , where gave him a proper meal . Sometime later , Wu gave Morro a kite . However , he noticed that Morro was flying the kit in midair , without its string . Wu then discovered Morro is the Master of Wind , and made Morro his student . Because of his power , Sensei Wu assumed he was the Green Ninja . However , after Wu placed him near the Golden Weapons , there was no reaction , proving he was not the Green Ninja . Morro then set out to prove he was the Green Ninja , by finding what Wu could not ; the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master . In their last great joint effort , Wu and Garmadon led the Elemental Masters in battling two of their own gone rogue : the Time Twins Acronix and [ [ Krux ] , whose powers proved too much even for the combined might of the other masters . As such , Wu commissioned the married blacksmiths [ [ Ray ( Ninjago ) | Ray ] ] , Master of Fire , and [ [ Maya ( Ninjago ) | Maya ] ] , Master of Water , to create four blades from chronosteel . Using this metal ' s unique ability to drain elemental power , Wu and Garmadon drained Acronix and Krux of their powers , creating the Time Blades in the process ; they then used them to open a vortex and threw the Time Blades into it . Acronix and Krux jumped in after them , and Wu saw a vision of the future that let him know when Acronix would return ; however , Krux was thought to have been lost forever . Years later after their father passed away , Garmadon turned into the evil [ [ Lord Garmadon ] ] and planned to steal his father ' s [ [ Golden Weapons of Spinjitsu | Golden Weapons ] ] . Wu discovered this and challenged his brother , losing to Garmadon ; however , Wu ' s symbols on his black kimono banished Garmadon into the underworld . After defeating his brother , Sensei Wu hid each of the weapons and had a [ [ dragon ] ] of the corresponding element guard each one . He then created a map and gave it to Ray to safe guard for him in case he died before the weapons required collecting . The Return of Evil . Beyond the edge of [ [ Ninjago ( World ) | Ninjago ] ] , Sensei Wu had prisoned the worst villains on the planet in the Tower of Tears . I prison that has no doors or windows .

While facing the [ [ Mask of Malice ] ] , Sensei Wu figured out that Garmadon was the one who freed the prisoners and ordered them to fight Wu . After talking with Garmadon through a mirror , a window to the Underworld , the mirror cracked and shattered to pieces . When Sensei Wu repaired the mirror , he saw the future filled with powerful enemies not even he could defeat . The Ninja . After traveling around Ninjago , Sensei Wu found three students to become Ninjas : [ [ Cole ] ] , [ [ Jay ] ] , and [ [ Zane ] ] . Shortly after the blacksmith passed away , Wu reappeared at his shop , called " [ [ 2508 Battle At The Blacksmith Shop | Four Weapons ] ] " now run by his children , [ [ Kai ] ] and [ [ Nya ] ] and expressed disdain for the Samurai weapons that they are not suited for ninja . He then disappears after Kai tells him to buy something or petal his insults someplace else . At this time , the [ [ Skulkin ] ] Army from the underworld attacked the shop . While Kai was fighting them , [ [ Samukai ] ] , the general of the Skulkin , threatened to kill Kai with his daggers . As soon as this happened , Sensei Wu came and use his golden [ [ Spinjitzu ] ] on Samukai . During the battle , [ [ Kruncha ] ] and [ [ Nuckal ] ] stole the map , and kidnapped Nya . < nowiki > < / nowiki > To get Nya back , Kai planned to become a Ninja . He arrived at Sensei Wu monastery , where Sensei Wu told him that he must complete his training course before he finishes his tea . After many tries , Kai finally completes the challenge . That night at Wu ' s monastery , Kai becomes attacked by three ninja . While they are battling , Wu stops them . He tells them that each for of them have a special element . He gives each of them elemental ninja suits . He reveals that [ [ Kai ] ] is the ninja of fire , [ [ Jay ] ] is the ninja of lightning , [ [ Zane ] ] is the ninja of ice , and [ [ Cole ] ] is the ninja of earth . On their quest to retake the map and get the weapons before Samukai , Wu advises the Ninja but acts as no immediate help . After the Ninja retrieved the Scythe of Quakes , Surikens of Ice , and Nunchucks of Lightning . Sensei Wu and the Ninja throw a small party in the forest . While the Ninja are sleeping , Kai believes he sees Nya . This was actually an illusion created by Garmadon to lead Kai into the [ [ 2507 Fire Temple | Fire Temple ] ] where the real Nya was being dangled perilously . Shadow Garmadon tells Kai took the Sword of Fire or else he will kill Nya . Kai drew out the Sword of Fire and freed her . Kai said that Garmadon couldn ' t hurt them and was only a shadow . Garmadon told him that even shadows have their own uses and created evil shadows of Kai to attack him . However , Wu arrived and used his shadow to defeat the shadow puppets . He then sacrificed himself and the Sword of Fire by going to the Underworld to allow Kai and Nya to escape . [ [ File : Shadows . jpg | thumb | Sensei Wu fighting Kai ' s Evil Shadows ] ] At the Underworld , Sensei Wu sneeked to the throne room and met Lord Garmadon . However , Garamdon sent Samukai with the three golden weapons ( he had stole the three while Wu was gone ) . Soon , the ninja recruited the guardian dragons to rescue Wu and the weapons .

However , Wu informed them to train so that when the time comes , they ' ll be ready . The Serpentine . Wu insists that the ninja keep training , so they will reach their true potentials for Garmadon ' s return . Suddenly , Nya informs them that he indeed has . This turns out to be partly false as Wu ' s nephew , [ [ Lloyd Garmadon ] ] is terrorizing the village . After defeating Lloyd , the ninja discovered a scroll that had fallen from Wu ' s bag that told the prophecy of a Green Ninja , a destined hero who will defeat the [ [ Overlord | Dark Lord ] ] . Later , the Ninja have a battle to see who will become the Green Ninja . However , they couldn ' t use their Golden Weapons , almost destroying the monastery . Wu comes and uses the Shurikiens of Ice to stop the fire . He then informs the Ninja that they need to reach their true potentials , or else none of them will become the Green Ninja . To gain power , Lloyd began freeing the different [ [ Serpentine ] ] tribes . First , he freed the Hypnobrai . However , Wu used the Smoke Spirit and told the Ninja to defeat the snakes . After the Ninja ' s victory , Lloyd tells the Serpentine to build a tree fortress . The Ninja , led by the [ [ Falcon ( Ninjago ) | falcon ] ] attacked and destroyed the fortress . During the process , Cole became hypnotized and threatened to attack the Ninja . However , Sensei Wu used the Sacred Flute to un - hypnotize Cole . Later , Lloyd freed the Fangpyre .

He uses Traveler ' s Tea to go to the Dark Continent and meets the now four - armed Lord Garmadon who defeats him . He tells Wu that he made a foolish choice to defeat him . However , Wu said he came to inform Garmadon that his son is in danger . Then , Garmadon joins forces with Wu and the ninja to rescue his son . After Lloyd is rescued , he is revealed to be the green ninja of the prophecy , but the Ninja and [ [ Samurai X ] ] are captured by the Serpentine before they were rescued by Garmadon and the Skulkin . To try and prevent Pythor ' s plan from succeeding , Wu took the [ [ Fang Blades ] ] , which had been acquired by his students previously , to a volcano to destroy them .
