## Genin

**Genin** (下忍 *Genin*, lit. meaning: Low Ninja) are the lowest level of ninja. When academy students ascend to this rank they start to do their part for their village's economy – being sent on missions that they and the village get paid for. They are typically sent on D-Rank missions, which are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labor. Every so-often they go on C-Rank missions, which are a cut above D-Rank and begin to verge on being the kind of work that shinobi typically experience. Due to the fact that Genin are the lowest-level ninja, they are normally assigned on these missions so as to gain experience before taking on harder missions or being promoted to the rank of Chūnin. There is an exception to this however, if a village is short-handed on higher ranking ninja: It isn't unheard of Genin being sent on higher ranked missions.

Genin are put in four-man teams consisting of three Genin and a Jōnin-sensei who acts as both team leader on missions, in-and-out of combat, as well as teacher to help develop their Genin's abilities. The make-up of these teams is based on the individual skills of the genin, so that there will be a balance between the teams.

* Genin start with a base average of 5 points in their Power Score.
	+ Genin, as well as every rank proceeding this one, have 15 extra points that they can allocate across their points, or exchange for something else using Build Customization.
* Genin may start with 1 Nature Type.
* Genin may start with 3 Jutsu.
* Genin may start with 2 Combat Stars.
	+ Genin start with 3 passive Combat Stars. Passive stars are always allocated to one's Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu categories equally.
* Genin may start with 両300,000.

## Chūnin

**Chūnin** (中忍, *Chūnin*, literally meaning: Middle Ninja) are ninja who are qualified to guide other ninja and lead missions. Chūnin have reached a level of maturity and ability that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. Genin who do not have the skills to become chūnin are weeded out in the Chūnin Exams. Some of them will move on to function as Academy teachers while others serve as team leaders in charge of small teams who need to make decisions and utilize the skills of the shinobi under their command to the maximum effect. Chūnin are typically sent on C-Rank or B-Rank missions.

Those who pass the test and become chūnin are eligible to wear an identifying flak jacket that holds ninjutsu scrolls. This vest is not mandatory; instead, some opt for more elaborate clothing like capes and robes.

* Chūnin start with a base average of 10 points in their Power Score.
* Chūnin may start with 2 Nature Types.
* Chūnin may start with 6 Jutsu.
* Chūnin may start with 4 Combat Stars.
	+ Chūnin start with 6 passive Combat Stars.

## Tokubetsu Jōnin

**Tokubetsu Jōnin** (特別上忍, *Tokubetsu Jōnin*, literally meaning: Special High Ninja, sometimes known as *Tokujō* for short) are ninja who, rather than all-around jōnin training, have jōnin-level ability in a specific area or skill, much like warrant officers in a real-world military. They are elite specialists in their areas and are often assigned as subordinates to regular jōnin when their services are needed. One example of a Tokubetsu Jōnin is Ibiki Morino, whose unique ability to completely understand the workings of the human mind makes him a jōnin-level interrogation expert.

* Tokujō start with a base average of 13 points in their Power Score.
* Tokujō may start with 2 Nature Types.
* Tokujō may start with 9 Jutsu.
* Tokujō may start with 6 Combat Stars.
	+ Tokujō start with 6 passive Combat Stars.

## Jōnin

**Jōnin** (上忍, *Jōnin*, literally meaning: High Ninja) are generally highly-experienced shinobi with great individual skill who serve as military captains. They are often sent on A-rank missions, and experienced jōnin may even be sent on S-rank missions. It is not unusual for jōnin to go on missions alone. Jōnin are generally able to use at least two types of elemental chakra, proficient genjutsu, and decent taijutsu skills.

The villagers may send their recommendations for a jōnin appointment. The Kage reads said recommendations and may consider appointing an individual a jōnin if his or her qualities are recognized as adequate by enough people and himself/herself. When a ninja becomes a jōnin, they may be assigned a three-man genin team to supervise. One part of their duties is to help instruct and train these genin to become competent ninja. They train these ninja for quite a while and lead missions with them. They can also decide when the genin are ready to join in the Chūnin Exams.

* Jōnin start with a base average of 15 points in their Power Score.
* Jōnin may start with 3 Nature Types.
* Jōnin may start with 12 Jutsu.
* Jōnin may start with 8 Combat Stars.
