POTS Ninja Ranks
A person whom becomes apart of the Shinobi Academy have taken it upon themselves to become a shinobi. Shinobi are tools utilized by their village in order to acquire not only revenue, but power along with respect amongst the world. There are many ranks of the shinobi and are displayed below.
• Academy Student
~ The Academy Student is the rank just before the ninja, in order to become a ninja under the title of Gennin, they must learn several jutsu and other skills required. The Gennin exam consists of a set of tests. They will test the ability to use jutsu they have learned and their combat prowess. When a Student takes his Genin exam they will learn 2 Ninjutsu from the Genin Jutsu page, they also learn a 'shunshin no jutsu' based on their hidden village. They also learn their village's basic Genjutsu and the two basic Taijutsu. The Gennin exam should total to either 1000 words or 29 posts (with a 25 word per post cap).
• Genin
~ The Genin is the first rank of ninja to a hidden village. Genin are required to do basic tasks here and there. They aspire to reach the Chunin rank, fully aware that by the time they take the exam, they may die. In order to become a Chunin, the Genin is subjected to what is basically called the "Chuunin Exam." First the Genin will take a quiz, the questions are not easy and noticeably downsize the applying gennin. They then must enter a a dark forest with many dangers. Each genin team is given a scroll of heaven, throughout the forest there are hidden scrolls of earth. For the gennin to pass they must make it to the finish line, with both scrolls, unfortunately for the Genin, there aren't enough earth scrolls to go around. Once this part of the exam is over they will be subjected to a one on one fight which is randomly chosen. The battles are deathmatch, though it is up to the fighters whether they wish to kill. At the end the remaining ninja will be graded, and then told if they may become Chunin, the occasional wild card might be placed as Chuunin also.
GENIN EXAM AVAILABLE AT ANY TIME
• Chunin
~ The Chunin serve as squad captains for the most part. At this time they are able to either progress to Jounin, or switch to Anbu, the elite assassins of a hidden village. As Anbu they will be given S rank missions involving assassinations and sabotage etc. To become Anbu you must apply to the Kage. The Chunin however that aspire to become Jounin must take a very different form of exam. The Chunin is given a mission which he must accomplish on his own. Once done he will be subjected to special training. And as he completes this he will become Jounin. The Chunin will be given the mission on the spot as it varies, the special Jounin training will be explained on the spot too.

• Special Jounin
~ A type of rank that comes between both Chuunin and the Jounin rank. This of shinobi basically is meaning that an individual has shown jounin level skills in one specific field. Whether it be advanced ninjutsu skills, taijutsu skills, genjutsu skills, or overall some sort of special skill. In order to become this rank you must be of Chuunin Ranking, and also must show that you have exceptional skills within one particular field. Meaning that you must have obtained at least one shinobi class, mastered it 100%. Then ascended to the next class, and mastered it 100%. That entails learning all skills involved in that class, maxing out the control stats, and even learning all jutsu associated with the control stats. From then on you can be considered a Special Jounin.
CAN BECOME THIS ANYTIME BETWEEN AFTER BECOMING CHUUNIN
• Jounin
~ The newly appointed Jounin serve only the Kage now. They also look after the Gennin students during their time as Gennin. Jounin are perceived as the best ninja a village has to offer and are often sent out on battles most nin wouldn't. The Jounin now has several options at his disposal. He can choose to become special jounin. Special jounin is a type of Jounin that specializes in a certain field and is recognized for that. These fields are; Hunter-nin, Medical-nin, Tutor-nin. Hunter-nin are special hunters taught in the complex anatomy of the human physique and have great knowledge of pressure points on the body in which they commonly use needles to put down the opponent. Medical-nin specialize in healing jutsu, they are often an excellent ally and use their skills to keep others as well as themselves healthy. The Tutor-nin are elite teachers that can be hired at certain costs. Many of them teach ninja from when they were an academy student. In order to become any of these ninja one must first apply to the Hokage.
JOUNIN EXAM AVAILABLE ANY TIME
• Sannin/High Level Jounin
~ A ranking that is far superior to any other ranking that is available to all other shinobi within a particular country, simply because with this rank there are only three people within each country that can attain it! Yes, only three shinobi can obtain a rank like this within their country, it is a title of both respect as well as an acknowledgment of power. Those whom become Sannin no longer have to bear the symbol of their village, and often wear clothing that disassociates them with their home village, so that they may better blend in within the crowds of people within the world. The Sannin perform various S-rank missions for the country, and do various other things such as teach classes, lead important missions, and even provide their services as a Sensei to teach promising shinobi to increase their potential. These shinobi are often refered to being of Kage Level strength, seeing as how that is the only rank that is above them, and they are appointed by the Ninja Council much like the Kage is. Most often one of the Sannin will be considered to be the next Kage of a village, if there is not a better suited shinobi for the job.

• Village Leader
~ This is a rank that is similar to Sannin however it is more closely related towards the Kage status. A village leader is one whom has such a great mass of experience and knowledge that they have been nominated to lead their village. Or have taken the initiative to create their own village. To create your own village you must find a country that does not have a village and speak with the Daimyou. Also being sure that you have at least 5000 ryou in funds to start building the village. Being a village leader you control everything about the village and can even create your own set of village jutsu to separate yourself amongst the other villages.
MUST BE LIVING IN A COUNTRY THAT HAS A VILLAGE LEADER AND GO OVER THE LEVEL TO SUCCEED THEM, OR FIND A DAIMYOU THAT WILL ALLOW IT CREATE YOUR OWN VILLAGE AND BECOME ITS LEADER
• Kage
~ The single highest ranking throughout all of the shinobi ranks within each of the Shinobi Villages, the Kage aka the Head Ninja is the one whom is in charge of the entire village. Deciding what missions to take from the Daimyou's, handing out missions to specific teams that are suitable for the job so that they get done properly and without failure to generate revenue for their village so they can keep the villages economy up to fix it up when bad things come along and in order to provide weapons and such for the village. The Kage of the village is also dubbed to be the strongest shinobi within the village, having incredible knowledge with jutsu and be extremely powerful. Another one of their key jobs as a Kage is to secure the future for the village no matter what, whether it means nominating a stronger person for the next Kage rather then a person whom is not as strong but is less suitable for the job. Even combing down to the point where the village is in danger, their lives becomes over your own life. Doing what you can to be sure your village is protected, even sacrificing your life in order to do so. The Kage is very often praised and loved by their villages, and is the hardest of all shinobi ranks.

Anbu and Hunter-nin soldiers are sent out to take these menacing foes down and destroy their bodies. This would prevent other countries from learning the village's secrets. Missing-nin often become mercenaries and don't party too often. To become a missing-nin you must commit some kind of deed against your Hidden Village.
