Within each village there is a publicly recognized power scale that goes as follows.
Genin: Just graduated from the academy/fresh meat.
Chunin: Have been accepted as reached the bare minimum level of competency to be considered a decent ninja/cannon fodder.
Special Jonin: those whose full abilities don’t reach the Jonin level but have excellent skills in a certain subject that does reach that point.
Jonin: The stronger members of the ninja village with great skill and power at their disposal.
S-rank: Ninjas who are considered above Jonin and possibly equal to a kage from one of the hidden village, very rare.
Kage: Considered the strongest ninja of a village and the one who leads all the others.
SS-rank: A ninja who alone can pose a serious threat to several Kage level ninjas at the same time. Best examples Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
There are also some special roles within the villages that are outliers as they serve an abnormal role from normal ninjas.
Anbu: the shadowy and secretive type ninjas in charge of assassinations and other sketchy jobs.
Anbu captain: Leader of an anbu squad and typically more skilled and powerful than their subordinates.
Anbu commander: the ninja who is at the head of the entire anbu organization.
Clan head: The person who represents a particular clan within a village council.
Councilman: anyone who is a part of the villages counselling body.
Root: Everyone working for Danzo Shimura.
Kage: The one who leads the village in it’s entirety and has the most authority.
Next I will explain how techniques work in this story.
Insert element here-> “___________ Release” : the type of attack that is being made. Also includes “Sage art(blank)”
No release stated: Taijutsu(hand to hand), Kenjutsu(sword technique),Fuinjutsu(seals),Shurikenjutsu(throwing weapons), Tailed beast attack
There is also medical jutsu as well but that is pure chakra and medical skills like surgery and poison curing.
Finally there are Dojutsu which are unique features given to the eyes of certain bloodlines such as the uchiha and Hyuga. These will be explained as they become relevant.
