Tokubetsu Jōnin are ninja who, rather than all-around Jōnin training, have chosen to specialise in a single area of the training. Tokubetsu Jonin (Tokubetsu jōnin, 特別上忍, literally "Specialised high ninja") In the English manga, the level is also known as the "Journeyman" level. To become a chūnin, a genin has to go through an exam containing three stages: the first stage tests their information gathering abilities and decision-making abilities, the second stage tests their mission accomplishing and adherence to guidelines ability and the third consists of fights between those who passed the previous two stages, watched by a council which decides who becomes a chûnin and who does not. Chūnin are typically sent on C-rank missions or B-rank missions. Some of them function as teachers (such as Iruka) and others serve as military strategists in charge of small teams who need to make decisions and utilise the skills of the shinobi under their command to the maximum effect. Recently, Konohagakure has been shorthanded in upper-level ninja, and has been forced to occasionally send Genin on B-rank missions.Ĭhunin (Chūnin, 中忍, literally "Middle ninja")Ĭhūnin are ninja who are qualified to watch over and guide other Ninja.

They are typically sent either on D-rank missions, which are the lowest rank and are generally simple, risk-free jobs of manual labor, or C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work-though they are still generally risk-free. 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. Genin are the lowest level of Ninja and also the ones that display the most divergence in power (Compare Sakura and Neji, who are both genin).
What is required for graduation varies from academy to academy. It's commonly referred to as a "forehead protector". Upon graduating, students receive a special band of fabric with a metal bar bearing the symbol of their village (which can be worn in many ways) and become Genin. Academy students take formal and practical tests of all sorts and are taught the basics: usage of weapons (such as Kunai and Shuriken), basic ninja skills (such as Art of Transformation (Henge no Jutsu) and Art of the Doppelganger (Bunshin no Jutsu) and chakra control. The academy is where would-be ninja start at they are not actually considered ninja until they graduate. 10 Konoha Keimu Butai (Konoha Military Police)
