Shinobi in Naruto is the main theme of the entire work. They are also known as ninjas. All shinobi have a strict hierarchy, and they are divided by rank. Depending on their skills, they reach a certain level. In the world of Naruto, they represent the main military force.
Who is it?
Shinobi are ninjas who have special combat skills. Ninja could become not only men, but also women - they were called kunoichi. Most of the shinobi come from hidden villages, some of which were founded by ninja clans.
Shinobi perform various tasks for a fee. Payment depends on the complexity of the task. Shinobi are special warriors who can eliminate someone, get valuable information. During military operations they unite in order to defend their village. One of the unusual and powerful abilities of a shinobi is to control the chakra, with which they can control various techniques.
Ninja levels
Each shinobi has a specific set of skills. And it is precisely on this that its rank depends. The highest rank is Kage, the shinobi who received it becomes the leader of the village. The lowest are the students of the Academy who understand the basics of the ninja.
- Students of the Academy - they are not considered ninjas until they finish their studies. They are taught the military craft, endurance, jutsu and the intricacies of the shinobi lifestyle. Techniques depend on the particular village to which future ninjas belong. The form of the final exam also depends on the village of the graduate. After passing the exam, graduates receive a bandage with a metal badge, which shows the sign of the village.
- Genin is the lowest rank of shinobi. At this level, differences in strength can be observed among members of the group. It consists of three students and their teacher. The genins increase their shinobi skills and are already starting to contribute to the development of the village. They perform simple missions in which there is no risk. Rarely are genin sent to tasks that are somewhat similar to the actual activities of the ninja.
- Chunin is the middle rank of shinobi. Now the ninja’s responsibilities are expanding, and he can lead and monitor the actions of other groups. Shinobi who received this title have leadership qualities and strategic skills. Ninjas who have reached this level must be able to make decisions quickly and skillfully use the skills of other ninjas under their leadership. Chuninov is already sent to missions of level C or B. To get this rank, you need to pass an exam.
- Jonin is a top-level ninja. These are highly qualified shinobi with well-developed individual skills. Sometimes Johnin may be given genin training. They are often sent to complete level A missions, and the most talented and powerful are given tasks of level S. To get the title of johnin, you need to pass a certain exam.
- Kage are elite shinobi, the most powerful and most experienced of them. Those who are honored to receive this title become the head of one of the Five Hidden Settlements. They are on a par with the rulers and take care of the village and are the leaders of the ninja community. Kage become level S ninjas
In order to achieve a certain rank, a shinobi must not only possess a certain level of military skills and technical skills. He must also be a leader, a good strategist.
World War I Shinobi
The majority of ninjas from various settlements were involved in it. To maintain a balance of power, the First Hokage distributed tailed beasts among five large settlements. But this was not enough for peace talks. The war ended only with the signing of a ceasefire.
As a result of hostilities, the Second Hokage was killed. But he managed to appoint his successor. The peace treaty was signed only after all five settlements suffered heavy losses.
Second Shinobi Collision
But 20 years after the end of the First World War, the Second World Shinobi clash occurred. The reason was the uneven development of the economy in different countries. As a result, the rulers began to use military force to expand their territories.
During this war, new heroes appeared, but the losses were huge. Among the ninjas, doctors appeared who were personally trained by Tsunade. Nagato, who lost loved ones during this war, decided that he would create a world in which there would be no military conflicts, and for this he later used Akatsuki.
Third Shinobi Collision
Due to the decline in national power, the rule of the Five Countries began to collapse. Clashes with smaller nations constantly occurred on their borders. Gradually, the conflicts were increasingly protracted and became real military operations. As a result, even the most powerful and prosperous settlements were forced to send graduates of the Academy to war. At the end of this war, new Hokage were chosen.
Fourth global conflict
This shinobi war in “Naruto” already falls into the story of the manga and represents the World Ninja Association against Toby. All ninjas united in order to preserve the existence of their class. One of the strongest shinobi in this period is Naruto.
"Naruto" is a work that addresses important topics. For example, such as the destructive actions of war, dictatorial regime, problems of economic development. But at the same time, it shows not just shinobi, who are the main military force, but strong personalities who want people to live in peace and harmony.
