Acadamy Student Info

This is if you want to start off as an Acadamy student. This is so that you may learn how to work the systems involved with learning jutsu, battles, weapon usage, etc. The academy is where would-be ninja start; they are not actually considered ninja until they graduate. Academy students take formal and practical tests of all sorts and are taught the basics. Basic weapon usage, such as kunai and shuriken, is commonly taught. Elementary ninja techniques, though they vary from village to village, are also taught. These include the Transformation Technique, Rope Escape Technique, Body Replacement Technique, Clone Technique, Exploding Tag: Activate, Cloak of Invisibility Technique.
Note: You won't be able to graduate unless there are two other Acadamy Students who can be your teammates.

rules

arrow Students may only learn techniques that are E - ranked and D - ranked. If a student has a high chakra yeild they may start training on a C - ranked technique.

arrow Students may only fight against other Academy Students. This is because the student is just learning the basics.

arrow Students may not go on or request a mission. They are also forbidden to leave the village.


Genin Info

(下忍, Genin; Literally meaning "Low Ninja", Meaning (Viz) "Junior Ninja") are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. 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, very rarely, 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 ninjas involved, especially since their Jonin level sensei often accompanies them. If the genin has a high chakra yeild and high chakra control they may train to learn a B - ranked technique. If a student is considered a prodigy the Genin may start training an A - ranked technique. Once a student passed the Graduation Exam, they are given a headband with the village symbol. They must wear the village headband at all times. This rank is still a student but they know the basics and are now ready to use them in real life. The students are no longer in the academy and are now considered ninja.

Chunin have reached a level of maturity that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. This is because the Genin who don't have the skills to become Chunin are weeded out in testing. Some of them, like Iruka Umino and Mizuki, function as teachers and others, like Shikamaru Nara, 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. Chunin are typically sent on C-rank missions or B-rank missions. Sometimes, they may become teachers at the Ninja Academy Once a Genin has passed the Chuunin Exams and the Kage of their village sees that they are ready the for the rank.

Ninja Jobs/positons - There are several classifications for ninja. Some, you must be at a sertain rank to acheave.


ANBU Must be at Jounin level to become Anbu
The ANBU (暗部, ANBU; Viz "Black Ops", English TV "ANBU Black Ops"; Literally meaning "Dark Side") is actually short for ANsatsu Senjutsu Tokushu BUtai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊, Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai; Literally meaning "Special Assassination and Tactical Squad"). The name is a form of contraction, similar to English acronyms like SWAT, where the two kanji used to abbreviate the group's full name constitute an actual word on their own.


Hunter-nin Anbu only
Hunter-nin (追い忍, Oinin; English TV "Tracker Ninja") are a special team within Kirigakure's ANBU, given the specific duty of hunting down missing-nin. They kill their target, taking the head as proof, and then completely dispose of the body by using various methods, such as cremation or the summoning of wild carrion crows to devour the corpse. This is done in order to make sure the village secrets which a ninja's body holds — such as chakra types, herbs eaten, Ninjutsu, special medicine, and kekkei genkai — will not be revealed to outsiders.

Medical-nin Genin and up
Medical-Nin (医療忍, iryō-nin) are ninja who specialize in medical treatment and use of medical-oriented jutsu to heal others. Becoming a medic-nin requires high intelligence and excellent chakra control. A medic-nin is trained to avoid getting injured in any way, for the reason that if they are injured, then there would be nobody to heal the others. If they are forced into combat, they make use of their chakra control to enhance their taijutsu skills. Medic-nins accompany other ninja on high ranking missions to increase the survival rate of the squad.

Cooking-nin Genin and up
Cooking-Nin (ryouri ninja) are ninja who specialize in cooking. They walk around in forests and paths outside villages, waiting for hungry ninjas to walk past. When they find a hungry ninja team, they make all kinds of good food for them, but as Hakaku makes such good food, they can't stop eating it, and become very fat. They only work in the Land of Thunder. Being so fat, the ninjas started to say: "Who needs Cooking-nins". Hakaku wanted Teuchi's "Demon" recipe but it turned out to only be the disposal of the bitter taste of the soup
