However if you learning a jutsu above you, you multiply the time by a number equal to the number of ranks it is higher than you. (So if you a genin learning a Chunin jutsu is takes 12 (6 x 2) posts, and if you learning a Jonin it takes 24 (8 x 3) ) Though if you learn a rank lower you divide the lower rank by a number equal to the number of ranks lower it is. (So if you a Jonin learning a Chunin jutsu it takes 3 (6/2 = 3) posts, and if you learning a Genin jutsu it takes 1 post (4/3 = 1.3 = 1) ) All of this assumes that your current rank is equal to 1, the rank directly above and below you is 2, and so on.
Areas of Technique Training
*The idea is simple. Not all areas cater to training needs, whilst others do far better then others. This will either increase or lessen the posts necessary for learning and teaching techniques.
When outside a village: The area is unfamiliar, the terrain lush, rough, and far from kept. Training is rather difficult. It is now necessary for +1 post for learning and +1 post for teaching.
Within the home village or other village: The area is familiar, but provides nothing unique. When within a home village or a regular village, there are no changes to the normal RPC's teaching and learning.
When in a training ground, or a training-specific location in any village: Here it is ideal to train. With a perfect area, and a wide-open space, ninja are able to easily train. Due to the unique area, it is now allowing for -1 for learning and -1 for teaching. (learning refers to learning on your own, teaching refers to when being taught by someone of at least chuunin rank, these two learning bonuses are the only learning bonuses that can stack)
When in a training ground at a home village: The area is very familiar. It is easy to traverse, and is very appealing to the needs of the ninja. It is advantageous in many ways, making training far easier. This allows for -2 learning and -1 teaching.
Jutsus a rank higher than yourself MUST be taught by someone who already knows the Jutsu.
The learning bonuses cannot stack with learning bonuses from shinobi type, the greater of the two bonuses stack. For example the chakra control shinobi type gets a -2 post learning bonus, when training in a training ground in their home village with no teacher they still only receive a -2 post learning bonus, but if they have a teacher they get a -3 post learning bonus because the stacked bonus of being in the training grounds and have a teacher is greater than the bonus just from chakra control.
Note: This does not apply to the Academies.
