    Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    Hakus mask wasnt a ANBUs one, it was a hunter-nin, and there is the chance that that mask wasnt from a konoha ninja.

    Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    Hmm. I however have a different perception of all these,

    1. Hokage
    2. Jounins - Captains, or commanders
    3. Job Levels/Chunnins - Anbu, Medics, Teachers(Thats why Naruto first teacher is a chunnin, not because he's stong or anything.)
    4. Gennin - Still Require undersupervision of higher ranking ninja's.
    5. Students

    I view Chunnins as ninja's that are capable enough as in they act or their decision making is like adults. I'm sure most like Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, Rock Lee, and others are definitely strong enough to be Chunnin levels, but they are not chunnins, because they probably deem unfit as of yet to be in the 'proper' ninja's or the ninja working class.

    And also, I don't see Chunnins under supervision of a higher ranking class. Jounins teach Gennins, Chunnins teach Students. Who teaches Chunnins?? (I doubt the Hokage has enough time to teach every single Chunnin) I don't think they have any teacher, therefore, they are like the working class of the ninjas. Some more talented at fighting, go become Anbu. More intelligent become Medics. Some more or less totally hopeless become teachers. Heheh.
    MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii

    this is what i think: chuunins are still taught by their senseis until they reach almost-jounin status and i think they go train by themselves. unless they want to become exam proctors, teachers, etc. like iruka sensei.

    If chuunins are still taught by their sensei then it'd be logical that those would have to be jounin/special jounin (Ebisu types). When the 3rd Hokage had that meeting with the jounins prior and during the chuunin exam there were only a roomful of them. I'm thinking that chuunins probably aren't "main" students of their former sensei so to speak but probably receive some guidance so that the teacher-jounin doesn't have to spend much time on them.

    Otherwise, if it's one jounin teacher per 3 genin/chuunin ninjas then there aren't many ninjas in Konoha for a country / village that's considered the dominant force in the Naruto world. Besides, don't those jounins have to go out in miscellaneous missions and whatnot? It seems that the ones teaching the genins are taking a break from missions to develop the youth. (i.e. Kakashi saying he hadn't been in such a dangerous fight when vs'ing Zabuza or when he thought to himself that his body weakened during mountain climbing)

    yeah... there's a very good chance, because there were HIDDEN MIST markings on the forhead.





    Anyways, yeah, it'd make sence that Jounin still help with their Chuunin students, but I think they would even if it wasn't traditional, because they develop a close bond, as seen with the Hokage Oro fight...

    And not all Jounin teach genin. Remember Ino's dad? And all the others? They are simply reserved for fighting.

    I'm going to say it goes:

    1. Kages - Sannin - Strong Missing-Nin(i.e Itachi)
    2. Jounin
    3. Anbu/Hunter Nin
    4. Chuunin
    5. Gennin
    6. Students



    I think as far as Kage vs. Sannin it just depends. Because, if you remember, no sannin was chosen to be the 4th hokage. On the other hand though, that could have been due to personality conflicts. Then, a sannin killed 2 kages and we still don't know how Orochimaru compares to Jiraiya and Tsunade but Jiraiya didn't seem to be particularly scared of Orochimaru.

    And not all Jounin teach genin. Remember Ino's dad? And all the others? They are simply reserved for fighting.
    How do we know they're Jounin? Did it say?

    they never fought, Jiraiya just shrugs off the idea that Oro is around and comments on how crappy of a job Oro has done on the seal he put on Naruto - maybe showing that he is better than him

    heres my list:
    1. Kage, Sannin, some Missing-Nin
    2. Anbu/hunter nins
    3. jounin/special jounin
    4. chuunin
    5. genin
    6. student
    7. civilian

    the reason why i put anbu, and hunter nins above jounin because they are the assasination squad with special operations. they should be powerful enough to go against others that are powerful. If, say an anbu was chuunin level, and he/she was sent on a task to assasinate a jounin missing nin, but he was found out and the jounin went after him. He'd be screwed.
    i think special jounins are just jounins with special tasks assigned to them, nothing special really

    except oro put no seal on Naruto... actually, he didn't put a curse on anyone...

    Kakashi put a seal on the curse oro put on sasuke, but thats it.

    How do we know they're Jounin? Did it say?
    No. I just typed out a good paragraph or two in my defence, about chuunin costumes, when I realized their parents could have been wearing street clothes.
    They never say they are jounin, but by how they were fighting, and how old they must be, they probably are.

    actually oro did put a seal around the nine tails seal (during the 2nd chuunin test in the forest) so naruto couldnt control his chakra as well. the perverted hermit removed it.

    no, you don't know that they're jounin. just b/c they can fight doesnt put them at that level.

    as i said in the original post, i dont think the levels are distinct. they can definitely be crossed in terms of individual ninja ability. i also think that the 3rd actually was stronger than oro even up to the end, he just wasnt quite able to finish the job. oro used a forbidden jutsu which gave him the advantage at the start but still got his arse kicked. he just got lucky that the 3rd wasnt able to finish the seal jutsu. if you look at it another way it was worse than killing oro, forcing him to live w/out his abilies.
