These teams are meant to give the new shinobi practical skills, while already being a productive member of the organisation. This so-called three-man cell consists of three genin under the guidance of a jōnin commander. The most basic team is the one a genin is placed in after graduation. A village's Kage is generally acknowledged as its most powerful ninja.Īlthough the higher-ranking members of the regular forces often perform missions alone, most are done in teams. A Kage oversees the activities of their village, from sending ninja on missions to making the hard decisions regarding the safety of their people. They are collectively known as the Five Kage ( 五影, Gokage, literally meaning: Five Shadows). Main article: Kage Kage ( 影, literally meaning: Shadow) is a title reserved for the leader of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries' hidden villages. They are often sent on A-rank missions, and if experienced enough, S-rank missions as well (which are considered to be the greatest difficulty). It is not unusual for jōnin to go on missions alone. Jōnin are generally able to use at least two types of elemental chakra. Main article: Jōnin Jōnin ( 上忍, Jōnin, literally meaning: High Ninja, meaning (Viz): Elite Ninja) are generally highly experienced and highly skilled shinobi who serve as military captains. For example, Ibiki Morino can completely understand the workings of the human mind, making him an expert in interrogation. Main article: Tokubetsu Jōnin Tokubetsu Jōnin ( 特別上忍, Tokubetsu Jōnin, English TV: Special Jōnin, literally meaning: Special High Ninja, sometimes known as Tokujō for short) are ninja who, rather than having all-around jōnin skills, only excel in a specific area, much like warrant officers in real-world militaries. Some chūnin, such as Iruka Umino and Shino Aburame, move on to become Academy teachers. Chūnin are typically sent on C-rank or B-rank missions. Main article: Chūnin Chūnin ( 中忍, literally meaning: Middle Ninja, meaning (Viz): Journeyman Ninja) are ninja who have reached a level of maturity and ability that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. When Konohagakure was short-handed on upper-level ninja because of the invasion, the village had to occasionally send genin on higher-ranked missions. They are typically sent either on D-rank missions, which are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labour, or, rarely, on C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work that have a very low possibility of risk to the ninja involved. When they become genin, ninja start to do their bit for their village's economy – being sent on missions that the village gets paid for. Main article: Genin Genin ( 下忍, literally meaning: low ninja, meaning (Viz): junior ninja) are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. However, they can be conscripted as part of the war potential in times of emergency. They are not an actual part of the shinobi force, as they are still in the process of mastering the very basics of the ninja lifestyle. Main article: Academy Student Academy students ( 忍者学校生, Akademī-sei) make up the student body of the Academy, where they are trained and prepared for life as a shinobi. Sometimes, when a shinobi is specialised in a very specific skill, they can assume the rank of tokubetsu jōnin, which is a rank between chūnin and jōnin. Via various exams and tests, they can be promoted to higher ranks, first to chūnin and jōnin after that. When an Academy student graduates, they usually become a part of these forces, assuming the rank of genin. They are also tasked with the various duties within the organisation, such as training and administrative duties. The majority of shinobi are a part of these forces and together, either individually or in teams, they perform the majority of the missions the village receives. The regular forces ( 正規部隊, Seiki Butai) form the foundation of the village and its shinobi system.
