    Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    So, this is what I get from the episodes

    1. Hokage
    2. Sannin & some Rogue types like Itachi & Orochimaru
    3. Anbu & Hunter Nin
    4. Jounin
    5. Chuunin
    6. Genin
    6. Academy students.

    Is this about right? I'm not quite sure where Jounin stand.... And the levels don't always mean definitive superiority. For example, Oro killed the 3rd so to speak.

    I would agree with Shuurai list, but I admit Krbadass's number 7 is funny.

    does Konohamaru fit between student and Sakura?
    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    I think its more like:
    1) Hokage
    2) Sannin
    3) Jounin/ANBU
    4) Chuunin
    5) Genin
    6) Student
    7) Heh, for the hell of it, Sakura (nice one Krbadass, lol).

    I put Jounin and ANBU together because I think they are both on par with each other. I dunno if I can agree with Krbadass on Sannin being with Hokage. Being a Hokage means being the BEST Ninja in the entire village. When I say best, I dont mean like just in terms of the most powerful ninjutsu. They have to be equal in everything like spirit, wisdom, knowledge, endurance, etc. Jiraya is a Sannin but he refused the job because he said he wouldn't be good because he was lazy.

    Well, Oro is a sannin, he took the strongest of the kages. so theres your proof. They aren't called Legendary ninjas for anything, and as you've seen. All of them are strong enough to be kages because they wanted them to be in 81

    You have a good point there. Guess I didnt think of that.

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    i think hokage dwarfs the sannin title in trms of everything really. i think you have to rememeber that you are basing your rankings off of ONE battle and ONE hokage and ONE sannin. the hokage trained the sannin right? yes fair enough they should eventually surpass them, but in the normal run of events we have to take into consideration that the 4th would still be around and we MUST assuem that because he was chosen OVER oro that he was stronger. also you must work into account that the sannin rank or name most likley (if it referes to ninja trained by the hokage or future hokage) referes to them at the time of training. as they all seemingly left the village except the 4th none of them advanced to the point where perhaps they would be called elders, so the name stuck. it most likley no longer reflects there abilitys which have improved with age.

    Nah.. Orochimaru was the the 3rds FIRST choice for being Hokage.. over the 4th Hokage, over Jiraiya, over Tsunade. The only reason he wasn't picked was because he was killing his own people. If he wasn't, Orochimaru wouldve been the 4th Hokage.

    So, I agree with Krbadass's ranking

    1. Kage - Sannin
    2. Jounin
    3. ANBU
    4.Chuunin
    5.Genin
    5.Student
    7.Sakura

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    ok first of all......sannin should be ranked lower than the Hokage. the reason why is because the only reason Orochimaru was able to beat the 3rd was cuz he was old and decrepit. if Oro faced the 3rd in his prime, then he would have definitely been owned. (that flashback when the 3rd fought Oro does not mean anything cuz the 3rd was not willing to kill Oro at the time). AND.....the Kage of Konoha is probably the strongest of the Kage's because Konoha is the strongest/largest ninja village in the continent. that's why so many people go to Konoha to have missions completed. so this is my ranking:

    1. Hokage
    2. Sannin
    3. Jounin
    4. ANBU
    5. Chuunin
    6. Genin
    7. Student

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    uhhh.... yea, Oro took on the hokage when the guy is going to die soon. They even said if he was 10 years younger, he would pwn Orochimaru's ass like no other. So you can't put Hokage and Sannin together cause sannin is weaker.

  16. #16

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    Wrong, Orochimaru killed two kages (ho- and kaze-kages), which means at least one Sannin is strong enough to be a kage. After Sarutobi died, Juraiya was asked to be hokage, which means he's strong enough as well. But, as you well know, he said Tsunade would be an even better hokage, so she's strong too. On another note, Sarutobi did not choose the Yondaime over Orochimaru because of strength. He said that he could sense the evil in Orochimaru and that he felt it would be best to not put him in a position of power.

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    sannin isn't a rank... it's more the 3 legendary ninjas, there aren't going to be anymore ninjas refered to as the sannin and they are all different strengths, so i dont think it should be counted in a list of rankings

  18. #18

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    wait wait wait... sannin are all different strengths, so they shouldn't be counted in the rankings... but, there are ::head explodes::


    all ninja's are of different rankings. and these are 3 of the most important shinob... so, they should be counted.

    RE: Level of Ninja in Naruto...

    lenas your being naive. he didnt kill ANY that you can prove. kazekage was killed, we dont even know if it was by oro, it could have been oro his right hand man and 52 sound ninjas ifor all we know. the 3rd was killed by his own technique as is plain to see. also you have to realise that the hokage is the most powerfull (or however you want to define knowledge) person in the village, therfore he is more powerfull than the sannin. just because juraiya was asked DOES NOT mean he is stronger than the 4th or even on a alevel comparable to him. think about it, if all the ninjas except konohamarou were killed then he would be the strongest therefore he would become the Hokage. then you have to factor in (like i said before) the fact that the position was forced to back track form the presumabley stronger 4th back to the 3rd. his age would have made him a alot weaker as well. if we coudl have taken the 3rd in his prime then i think its safe to say he would have won, which for all intents an puposes is what happend any way right? oro didnt not achieve his targets where as the 3rd did!

    i think due to age in this case the sannin may have been as strong as the hogake this time due to age, but inreality you have to say that they cannot be as that defeats the point in being Hokage

    We don't *know* , it's true. But Oro took the faces of the Kazekage and his guards to get inside Konoha.
    We *know* the only way to get somebody's face using Oro's jutsu implies in killing the owner of said face.
    Baki says, Orochimaru, you bastard.
    It's called circusntancial evidence. People go to jail with that. Why try to deny the obvious?
