Seiryuu! Lost My Music!

This is the continuation of this post. Well, the ranks mentioned last time was on some of the more important ranks. This time, i will be talking about some of the “not so important” ranks that can be found in the village.

Apprentice

Someone who is taught by a ninja of greater power. This is not very important as it is not considered an official rank. An example is Ebisu’s training of Konohamaru at the earlier part of the anime, in this case, the apprentice is of course, Konohamaru…

S-Class Ninja

From the name, we know that these ninjas possess great power. In fact, these ninjas have gained power far beyond an average Jonin and earned a legendary status. Examples are the Sannin of Konoha, known as Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru. The organisation known as Akatsuki was also composed of ten S-Class missing-nin. Most ninja, even high-level ones, choose to flee rather than face someone of the S-class.

Missing-Nin

Also known as rogue ninja. They are are ninja who have abandoned their Hidden Village. They are are considered traitors and are hunted down because of the secrets they may hold. Other Hidden Villages would be interested in purchasing this information because it could be useful in gaining an upper hand in battle or obtaining a bloodline limit unique to a village.

Medical-Nin

These are ninja who specialize in medical treatment and use medical-oriented jutsu to heal others. Becoming a medic-nin requires a great level of intelligence and excellent chakra control, since medic-nin use chakra to heal injuries. Aside from their medical training, their combat training consists mainly of taijutsu skills, with emphasis placed on evading enemy attacks. This is because the death of the medic-nin could result in the death of the team. On dangerous missions, a medic-nin will usually be sent along with the team, to increase the survival rate of that team.

The basic medical jutsu is Shosen no Jutsu (a.k.a Mystical Palm Technique). It is a technique that can heal wounds and perform surgery. Users collect chakra to their hand to speed up cell regeneration wherever it is applied. The users can also focuse their chakra into a blade to make cuts where necessary, the flesh is not cut as the blade is made of chakra. For more severe injuries, Chikatsu Saiseino Jutsu (a.k.a Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique) is used. This technique utilizes a part of the user’s body as a medium to heal their injuries. The technique requires a great deal of time and concentration, with medical personnel needing to switch places so that they can rest.

Courier-Nin

These ninjas take on extremely dangerous delivery jobs that others will not and these jobs may even be life threatening in nature. They are a very determined group of ninjas who never deviate from their goals, and perfectly adhere to rules, regardless of what will happen if their package is delivered.

Above are ranks that are often not mentioned in the anime as they are not very important. Well, its just some additional information that some people might wanna know.
