Shinobi Rankings and Limits

[monkeynin]

Legitimate Shinobi

Genin: Can learn as much of D and C ranked techniques they want, but can learn only one B and no A or S ranked techniques.

Chuunin: Can learn as much of D and C ranked technique they want, but can learn only 5 B and 3 A technique, and incomplete S ranked technique. Incomplete means that the desired effect will not be at its 100%..

Jounin: Can learn as much of D and C ranked technique they want, but can learn only 7 B, 5 A and 3S

Kage: Can learn as much of D and C ranked techniques they want, but can learn only 9 B, 7 A and 5 S ranked technique.

Note, this doesn't apply to the kekkai genkai techniques that are given from the day of activation of bloodline limit, like Susanoo, but do apply of techniques that are developed separately like 128 Palm for Byakugan.

Special Shinobi Ranks

Every village has place for ninjas that are more powerful than jounin, but can't be Kages. Every village has different number of people that can be advanced higher and other requirements you need for that position.

Konoha Alliance:

Hidden Village in Leaf: 3 Ninja Sages (requires 100 Sp on Beast companion)

Hidden Village in Mist: 7 Swordsmen of the Mist (requires 100 Sp on Taijutsu and unique A or S ranked sword)

Hidden Village in Cloud: 6 Flash Slashes (requires 70 Sp on Ninjutsu and advance version of Chidori technique)

Hidden Village in Sand: 4 Silent Winds (requires at least 10 Wind element techniques)

Hidden Village in Rock: 5 Holding Pillars (requires 50 Sp on Taijutsu and three defensive type of Earth element technique)

Pact of Four:

Hidden Village in Hell: 2 Funeral Demons (requires 50 Sp on Ninjutsu and Genjutsu and two S ranked techniques completed)

Hidden Village in Blood: 6 Sacred Killers (requires 100 SP in Taijutsu and unique S ranked execution or torture item)

Hidden Village in Sound: 4 Echoes (requires 10 techniques based on sound)

Hidden Village in Tears: 3 Watchers (requires 100 Sp on Ninjutsu and 4 detection techniques)

From now on, Kages will appoint those who have ascended beyond Jounin Rank as an honorary "Konin", which has no functional meaning, but grants the ninja a title of their choosing. The Seven Legendary Swordsmen of The Mist still exist.

Ninja Type:

To differentiate the fighting style of ninjas initiate ninja types are created. This styles although don't significantly change any parameter of bingo book explain how some types of ninja's function in battle and you would be advised to read them all before choosing.

Tracker ninja’s – they excel in ability to sense chakra and follow it. They make great healers or genjutsu users. Gifted amongst them are able to hide their chakra to the shape of normal human and sense chakra hundred feet away.

Brawler ninja’s – ever fought against ninja that can take lots of damage and almost never loses chakra? Well these guys are the ones. They have large chakra pool and are versatile in both ninjutsu and taijutsu, fighting to the end. Still all that power has disadvantages with weak chakra control and less efficiency in more delicate matters.

Assassin ninja’s – fighting with speed and grace of a wildcat, jumping from the shadow. These ninja types are unfortunately gifted with low chakra pool, but their manipulation is beyond normal. They fight blitz like battles, quickly starting and finishing before they run out of chakra, but they are skilled in all areas equally.

Median ninja’s – balanced type of ninja, governing with all of his skills equally and having a good chakra pool. This is most common type of ninjas that exist in the world.

Channel ninja’s – this type of ninja excels in ability of manipulating basic chakra form and elements, making them great learners and also they perfectly govern fine arts and don’t waste chakra.

Like it is said by picking a Brawler type ninja you don't get unlimited chakra, nor can you take beating and smile after all that. This just puts you in the similar category and gives you more to think about when fighting. Would you like to fight longer? Choose brawler. Would you like to finish someone quickly and with style? Assassin is your type. This examples can go on, but they depend only on your imagination. I will repeat they don't tinker any parameter so you can have a Brawler Genjutsu user, high chakra pool and physically strong, but wasting much of chakra with each technique.

The reason behind this types is that we want a backbone to every ninja and just specialization system doesn't make enough difference between ninja's. This way even if someone has same specialization and elements, even techniques, the type will probably differ between good player and bad player. Remember you have to explain how your fighter acts and if you explain something that isn't in your ninjas style... well you lose your edge.
