~ The Ranks are as Follows ~

## Tier 1

Tier 1 is where most will be placed at the beginning of their journey. It is where one will find the biggest difference in skill and strength within the Tier itself. In this level, you have the Chuunin exams. This exam will need to be passed in order for one to become a Chuunin. These exams occur multiple times a year depending on the amount of participants.

**Academy Students:** The very beginning of a young ninja's journey. They will not be allowed to go on missions ranked E-C. However, they will be allowed to do various tasks given to them by their Academy Sensei. They will learn how to active their 1st chakra nature, learn their first 3 jutsu, the arts of T-1 rp, and anything else deemed important by the Academy Sensei.

**Genin:** Genin are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. Genin are the rank that recruits generally receive when they join NOL, though this may vary in some cases. 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. They are typically sent either on D-rank missions, which are the lowest rank and are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labor, or experienced genin are sent on C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work – though they generally have a very low possibility of risk to the ninja involved, especially since their Jounin level sensei often accompanies them.

* C-Rank to E-Rank Jutsu
* Maximum of 1 Chakra Nature

**Chuunin:** Chuunin are ninja who are qualified to watch over and guide other ninja. Chuunin have reached a level of maturity that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. Although a step above Genin, they primarily tend to stay with their old squad. Chuunin can form teams of Genin together and take them onto C and B rank missions when the Jounin are away from the village. Chuunin are generally given a single Academy Student to work with.

* B-Rank to E-Rank Jutsu
* Maximum of 4 B-Rank Jutsu *(Must be approved by Jounin or higher)*
* Maximum of 2 Chakra Natures

**Jounin:** These are the appointed squad leaders that also carry an OOC duty to overlook spars, and make missions/training sessions happen. Jounin are also expected to represent NOL in a positive manner and maintain order within the lower ranks. Strong and experienced ninja who also have a high level of individual skill. Jounin are required to keep their own personal Training Logs as well as the Training Logs of their Genin whom they will be teaching. If a Training Session is not logged it will be voided and Retraining will be required.

## Tier 2

When one has reached Tier 2, their worries of ranking up will be less as shown in Tier 1. Here is where one can pick a profession such as Special Jounin or any of the ANBU ranks such as Hunter-nin etc. The Sannin are always handpicked by the Kage.

**ANBU:** The ANBU are under the Kage's direct command and protect the village from exceptional threats, conduct high-risk missions into enemy countries, and deal with extremely strong ninja. They are also responsible for carrying out assassinations and missions requiring specially trained ninja.
