Bingo book

**Bingo books** (sometimes referred to as "the Bingo Book") are handbooks that list all shinobi a country deems dangerous. Each entry contains the shinobi's name, allegiances, known skillset, speculated kills, estimated threat level, and bounty. All nations issue their own bingo books, for the sole use of their shinobi forces. Foreign bingo books are difficult to find. They are often sold on the black market for a high price.

## Classification System

The entries are sorted by threat level, with the least dangerous at the front and the most dangerous at the back.

> *Genin are expected to avoid any and all shinobi featured in this book. Chunin are advised to flee on sight upon landing eyes on any target past page twenty-two. Jonin should avoid confrontation with targets past page fifty-three. Most notably, all shinobi of Kirigakure ANBU inclusive are strongly advised to stay clear from any target past page one hundred and ten unless they have explicit orders stating otherwise.*

Estimated threat level classifications are structured like this:

* **Civilian**: Little-to-no shinobi skills.
* **D-rank** (or “D-class”): A shinobi, but barely. For weak, inexperienced shinobi, such as fresh Academy graduates.
* **C-rank** (or “C-class”): An acceptable, but still mediocre shinobi. May be ready for a promotion to chūnin.
* **B-rank** (or “B-class”): A genuinely dangerous, competent shinobi. Theoretically the peak of chūnin.
* **A-rank** (or “A-class”): The level of an average jōnin. Proceed with great caution.
* **S-rank** (or “S-class”): The absolute best-of-the-best, monsters whose names are spoken across the five great nations with reverence and fear. Do not engage.

Sometimes, listed shinobi will be given a higher or lower threat level due to political reasons instead of strength. For example, Kirigakure did not place a bounty on Haruno Sakura's head, instead opting to give her a "flee-on-sight" order. This is because Sakura is the Hokage's apprentice, meaning that killing her could very easily lead to war. It can therefore be assumed that all Kage have had their bounties revoked, at least during peacetime.

## Known Entries

The following table lists all known entries in any bingo book, in order from lowest to highest page number. Unrevealed information is left blank.

There are several more kills attributed to the Phantom, though only half of them actually were the Phantom's kills (all of which were confirmed S-rank). Some of them were after Page #110 in Kirigakure's bingo book, and all of them are dead. Besides these general facts, nothing is known about these individuals besides their names, so they are not listed in the table above. These names are:
