Rank info

E-rank is one of the six classifications. It is followed by D-rank. It is used exclusively when classifying techniques intended for Academy Students. A number of E-rank techniques must be learned before ninja can graduate, and are only difficult in the sense that students may not have learned how to properly control their chakra. With time, E-rank techniques like the Body Replacement Technique become second nature for seasoned ninja.

D-rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by E-rank and followed by C-rank. It is typically used when classifying techniques intended for ninja of the genin level. D-rank techniques are often one of the first techniques a ninja will learn after leaving the Academy.

C-rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by D-rank and followed by B-rank. It is typically used when classifying techniques intended for ninja of the chuunin level. C-rank techniques are often one of the first techniques a ninja will learn that require some amount of training. There are also C-rank missions.

B-rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by C-rank and followed by A-rank. It is typically used when classifying techniques intended for ninja of the jounin or chuunin level. B-rank techniques are typically useful and can be learned relatively easily with enough time, such as the Shadow Clone Technique.

A-rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by B-rank and followed by S-rank. It is typically used when classifying techniques intended for ninja of the Kage and jounin levels. A-rank techniques are often very useful, but need extensive training before they can be mastered. Some A-rank techniques also pose a risk to the user, resulting in their classification as kinjutsu.

S-rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by A-rank. It is typically used when classifying techniques intended for highly experienced jounin and Kage-level shinobi. S-rank techniques are almost always unique to a single user, and as such are trademark abilities of that user.
