Tokubetsu Jōnin

See also: Ninja Ranks

Tokubetsu Jōnin ( 特別上忍 , 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 or skill, much like warrant officers in real-world militaries. For example, Ibiki Morino can completely understand the workings of the human mind, making him an expert in interrogation.

They nevertheless possess enough skill overall, as they are known to have been given the same opportunity as jōnin in leading their own genin teams.
