Matt finally agrees, bringing Shizune considerable relief, and Kakashi takes him to his residence.

Later on, Shizune is present in Tsunade's office when Matt is brought in to be introduced to Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno. As Matt officially joins Team Kakashi, Tsunade assigns them their mission to travel to allied Villages and retrieve the participant counts for the upcoming Chunin Selection Exams. As Team Kakashi leaves and prepares to depart, Shizune stops them and informs them that Sasuke Uchiha has been spotted. She agrees with Kakashi that an ANBU team would be better suited to performing this mission, but states that all ANBU are currently counteracting Saisho Teki. She tells Kakashi that his team is the best available, and that Tsunade has assigned them the task of traveling to the Village Hidden in the Waterfall to locate Sasuke.

Later, Shizune is with Tsunade in her office, and she asks the Hokage if she thinks it was a good idea to send Matt into the open. Tsunade answers that she does not, and when Shizune asks why she did it, Tsunade states that Matt does not deserve to be locked up, and that if he sees the Shinobi World, he may be willing to stay.

The technique can be combined with Ninja Art: Strike Return Strike in order to bring the user away from an enemy following a high-speed attack.
Chakra

Also see the original: Chakra

**Chakra** is a substance present in Shinobi; it is the signature biological element of Shinobi that sets them apart from normal people. Chakra flows through the Chakra System of a Shinobi, which acts similarly to the cardiovascular system. Along the Chakra System is a series of focal points known as Chakra Points. These mitigate and control Chakra flow throughout a Shinobi's body. Chakra is the catalyst that a Shinobi must use to perform Jutsu. When present outside of the body, it resembles blue fire. Chakra, in conjunction with Hand Signs, are molded together to execute the desired effect. Each Shinobi possess different levels of Chakra, however amount does not necessarily matter as much as being able to control and utilize Chakra effectively. Chakra is the life force of all Shinobi, and with each Jutsu that a Shinobi uses, Chakra is consumed. Chakra exhaustion can lead to extreme fatigue in a Shinobi, leaving them unable to continue physical activity, such as fighting. If a Shinobi would use all of their Chakra reserves, they would die. Symptoms of Chakra exhaustion include dizziness, lightheadedness, and passing out. If a Shinobi were to attempt a Jutsu that consumes more Chakra than they possess, the Jutsu will either not work or be a much weaker version than what is intended.

## Chakra Nature

Each Shinobi has their own individual Chakra Nature. This can be either Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lighting, or Yin/Yang. Shinobi can only use Jutsu relating to their own Chakra Nature. Natures can be determined using Chakra Paper; these will determine a Shinobi's Primary Nature, however, over time a Shinobi may develop a second and third Nature as well, being able to utilize techniques in these areas.

She hypothesizes that Saisho Teki came after Matt in order to recruit him. Matt insists that he would provide no use to Saisho, and Kakashi Hatake states that he feels this way because Matt does not know what he really is. Tsunade reveals to Matt that he is a Shinobi, explaining to him that he possesses Chakra within him. She tells him that he was separated from the Hidden Leaf, but Matt corrects her, stating he has lived in Roaring Falls his whole life.

As Matt processes all of this, he thanks them all for saving him before asking if he will not return to Roaring Falls. Tsunade and Kakashi tell him that this is not the case. When they inform him that he will need to stay in the Hidden Leaf for a time, Matt resists this, insisting that no one will prevent him from returning to his family. He and Tsunade get into a heated argument over the issue, and when both Kakashi and Shizune fail to ease the tension, Tsunade firmly informs him that they will forcibly keep him in the Leaf if necessary.

Shinobi Rankings

Also see the original: Shinobi Rankings

The Shinobi are organized into a hierarchal structure of rankings determining who is in charge and who is subordinate. A Shinobi is given an official ranking based on their abilities as a combatant and as a leader. At the beginning of their career, a Shinobi will begin at the bottom of these rankings, and through experience and skill they will work their way up. The following is a breakdown of each Shinobi ranking as well as their function in the Shinobi hierarchy. Each rank is in ascending order, starting from the bottom:

## Student

Before they are officially deemed Shinobi, people start out as students who learn the basic skills and survival tactics of being a Ninja. Students are in training and are not assigned to a team until they complete their training.

## Genin

Immediately upon graduating from being a Student, one is promoted to a Genin and thus officially designated a Shinobi. A Genin's primary function is to serve in a team of three under a Jonin leader. If a team's Jonin leader is unknown in the series, one of the three Genin will be declared the de-facto leader of the team. A Genin's combat experience is generally limited, and therefore they often possess somewhat-negligible fighting ability. However, a more experienced Genin will be able to fight on par with enemies much older than them. Genin typically wield lower-ranking Jutsu, however it is not unheard of for them to be seen wielding disproportionately powerful techniques.

## Chunin

A Chunin typically operates as the right hand of a Jonin squad leader, however, they are generally skilled enough to lead a team on their own.

## Jonin

A Jonin acts as the leader of their team, typically comprised of Genin and Chunin. A Jonin is a formidable opponent, typically being able to engage multiple enemies at the same time. While Genin or Chunin may only be able to utilize their Primary Chakra Nature, a Jonin will commonly have mastered multiple Nature Types. This makes them especially flexible in combat, as they are able to respond to a variety of different situations and challenges.

## Kage

A Kage is the leader of his or her Hidden Village, and thus is declared the most powerful Shinobi in their Village. The Kage does not necessarily see combat on a regular basis, instead handling the administrative tasks of running a civilization.

## ANBU

*Main article: ANBU Black Ops*

Separate from the main Rankings structure is the ANBU Black Ops. These teams carry out espionage and assassination missions for their Village, and they can be seen accompanying a Jonin for support. The ANBU is its own separate organization with its own hierarchy; ANBU teams are named numerically, with ANBU Team Ichi being the strongest, ANBU Team Ni being the next strongest, and so on.

## Appearance

Hakuro is a tall man with fair skin and dark, rugged hair. He wears a red, short-sleeved jacket over a gray shirt with red pants. He wears his Hidden Leaf Headband tied around his left arm.

## Personality

When Hakuro was younger, he was quite arrogant and thought himself a superior combatant. Thus, he challenged Neji Hyuga, the prodigy of the Hyuga Clan, for the sole purpose of proving that Hakuro was better. Hakuro has a very easygoing demeanor, as he showed no signs of stress while in the Forest of Death. Upon his rematch with Neji, he showed no ill-will towards the Hyuga, in spite of the latter's clear bitterness towards him. Hakuro also acknowledges his arrogance from when he was young.

## Abilities

Even as a Genin, Hakuro's abilities are held in high regard. He has a keen mastery of Fire Style Jutsu, setting him apart from the average Genin. He has a variety of offensive and defensive Jutsu, such as the Fire Style: Pyrofists Jutsu. This augments Hakuro's hand-to-hand combat ability, inflicting severe burn injury with his strikes. Hakuro has mastered the Kajikishi ability; this has garnered praise from the elite Kakashi Hatake, who names Hakuro of Chunin level for his abilities. Hakuro can combine multiple Fire Style Jutsu to turn himself into a powerful force. With Fire Style: Fire Armor, Fire Style: Fire Javelin, and Fire Style: Fire Shield, Hakuro can turn himself into a knight-like fighter.

 Users
Neji Hyuga

The **Byakugan** is a Jutsu belonging to the Hyuga Clan. It is the cornerstone of their combat style; it allows them to see a target's Chakra Points so that they can be specifically targeted with such abilities as the Gentle Fist. Taking place in the eyes, the Byakugan causes more pronounced pupils while the veins on the outsides of the eyes bulge. With the ability to see an enemy's Chakra Points, a Byakugan user has much easier access to manipulate the opponent's Chakra, thus making their Jutsu unusable. The Byakugan allows for targeting of the Chakra Points with pinpoint accuracy, allowing to attack with ranged Jutsu.

Tsunade states their main focus should be on Matt, and that Kakashi will train him personally. She gives Kakashi and his team a month off to get Matt ready, and orders Kakashi to start his training as soon as he is discharged from the hospital.

Matt, who has now grown used to staying in the Hidden Leaf after having been initially opposed to it, is visited by Kakashi. The two walk outside the Village and begin Matt's training. Kakashi starts him off with Taijutsu, teaching him the basics of hand-to-hand combat.

Meanwhile, Tsunade meets with Jiraiya, Asuma Sarutobi, Might Guy, and Kurenai Yuhi. They discuss the mission to bring Matt to the Village. When she tells them that Kakashi is training him to be a part of his team, Kurenai asks if this is a good idea, as joining a team will put Matt in unnecessary danger. Tsunade agrees that it will, but also counters that he is a person and should not be locked away.

Kakashi and Matt continue their training, and while Matt feels he has not made any progress, Kakashi informs him that he has done quite well. Matt asks him if he trains people often, and Kakashi says he does not, and tells him about missions that are taken on by Shinobi.
