Shinobi Rank's System

[Psycho Mari]

Ninja Positions
Each Hidden Village breaks their ninja rankings into different levels of skill. This classification then helps determine what ninja level is needed to complete the mission. Higher difficulty missions require the utilization of higher skilled ninjas. These levels include Ninja Academy Student, Genin, Chuunin and Jounin. The Kage sits at the highest of the Five Great Shinobi Countries as the village leader.

Within these rankings, a ninja may join a particular group which uses their skills in special ways. These specialized squads can focus on one field of work such as the hunting of ninjas who have gone missing and left their hidden village, or medical-nins who act as doctors. But in the new world, there were rank's rename such as Elite Chuunin and Elite Jounin. There were less academy teachers as they look to replace them, and there were sannin's disappearing forcing people to hold tourments to find a new sannin.



Academy Students: New-to be shinobi's who just enter the academy to start their ninja path.

Genins: Genin are the lowest of ninja skill levels. They possess a knowledge of all the basic ninja skills and will do lower C & D rank missions with their Jounin sensei. Once the Genin has successfully undertaken eight missions, they can be sponsored by their Jounin sensei for the Chuunin Exam. Genin are the lowest level of ninja. Because of this, skill levels vary drastically between Genin.

Chuunins: The Chuunin is the basic journeyman ninja of the village. These ninja can become field doctors or teachers. They were formerly Genin who were promoted for displaying excellent intelligence, strategy and combat skills in the Chuunin Exam. Chuunin have the equivalent rank of military captain, exhibiting strong stamina, knowledge and inner wisdom. ---> Normally respect amongst all villagers


Jounins: Jounins are skilled in almost every aspect in their skills and are considered to be the heart of a Village. The Jounin are ninja who are highly skilled in all jutsu skills and arts. Ninja attain the rank of Jounin through official appointment. The Jounin generally serve as squad commander for mission operations.

Special rankings
ANBU in training (AIT) Members who are usually selected from a younger age group in preparation to someday become real ANBU members. They usually are genins who were pick from academy students, or even made one as a genin. They are given similar ANBU missions that are not so dangerous for their mission and once in awhile are taken out of the village under another ANBU person on a real ANBU mission. These members are not actually allow ANBU techniques yet until they become real members as they are still genins and must learn their way up towards these high ranking ANBU moves.

ANBU's: ANBU members hold many secrets that involve their Village. Any Anbu Black Op member may be called at anytime to perform a covert mission. As they wear masks to hide their identity they act as a Jounin to people outside the ANBU Black Ops to convey the idea they are still Jounin. The ANBU, meaning "dark side" is actually short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (literally Assassination Tactics Special Military Force). The ANBU work directly under the leadership of the Hokage. This specialized ninja battalion generally work in groups of four to five. They are responsible for assassinations and missions requiring highly trained ninjas. The masks the members wear are based around the signs of the zodiac.

ANBU Captain; ANBU Captains lead groups of ANBU members in covert missions. As they only lead ANBU members in missions they are no longer allowed to have any other normal teams. Their skills are impressive and can easily defeat most opponents with ease.

Kage; Kage is the highest rank a ninja may obtain inside a Village. A Kage leads their Village and dictates all things that goes within the Village, rather it be handing out missions, assigning teams or even filling out paper work. The village Kage is the strongest ninja in the hidden village. The Kage serves as the pillar upon which the village stands and the strength a village presents to the other ninja countries largely depends upon the strength of the Kage in power. They have excellent chakra and stamina and know the most jutsu techniques. Only the Five Great Shinobi Countries are allowed to call their head ninja by the Kage name.

Akatsuki; The Akatsuki kanji means daybreak, breaking down the word itself gives us "aka" meaning red (a common color in the group) and "tsuki" meaning moon. This Organization is a collection of S-Ranked criminals. Many of these are missing-nins who fled their villages after causing death and destruction. Most members wear a forehead protector from their hidden village with a scratch through it, and all seem to wear a ring identifying their position in the organization and a black cloak with red clouds. The group itself acts as mercenaries for hire, offering their services to villages wary of taxing their own resources. When the organization members leave to travel the country they will work in groups of two collecting knowledge of new skills and jutsu. The exact origins of the group are clouded in mystery, rumors suggest it may have formed in the Water Country.

Missing Ninjas; Missing Ninjas are ninja who have abandoned their Hidden Village, and as such can include ninja of every rank. These ninja are considered traitors and are hunted down because of the secrets they may hold. Other Hidden Villages would be interested in purchasing this information because it could be useful in gaining an upper hand in battle or obtaining a bloodline limit unique to a village. Villages create special units of hunter-nin to take care of this problem, although it's unlikely that every missing-nin has a team of hunter-nin sent after them. Also, some may be impossible to find unless they do something to attract attention.

Sannins; Sannin are known throughout their Village as Legends and as the strongest shinobi, only second to the Kage. There can only be at a maximum of 3 Sannin in a maxium of 3 Village's. Most Sannin are considered to be the next in line for the Kage position once a Kage dies.
