Visitor
The default rank for those new to the village or are visiting from another village. Only local shinobi are capable of attaining a rank higher than this.

Academy Student
Academy students (忍者学校生, Akademī-sei) make up the student body of the Academy, where they are trained and prepared for life as a shinobi. They are not an actual part of the shinobi force, as they are still in the process of mastering the very basics of the ninja lifestyle. However, they can be conscripted as part of the war potential in times of emergency. Academy students spend their time honing the various skills they are required to have and undergoing various tests and exams to see how they progress. Besides ordinary school subjects such as history and mathematics, they are taught the basics of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and most likely also genjutsu. This includes learning about chakra and how to control it, tactics, hand seals, and several E-rank techniques, such as the Clone Technique and the Transformation Technique. They are also trained in working both individually and in teams. Eventually they are given a graduation test to see if they are ready to try and become genin. Passing this test does not automatically grant them this title, as they need to pass a second test given by their jōnin instructor, but they do receive a forehead protector. Those who fail either of these tests are sent back to the Academy. The requirements for graduating vary from village to village. In Konohagakure, the Academy students simply have to show their proficiency in a randomly selected E-rank technique.

Genin
Genin (下忍; Literally meaning "low ninja", Meaning (Viz) "junior ninja") are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. When they become genin, ninja start to do their bit for their village's economy – being sent on missions that the village gets paid for. They are typically sent either on D-rank missions, which are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labour, or, rarely, on C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work that have a very low possibility of risk to the ninja involved. Genin are put in four-man cells or squad, consisting of three genin and a jōnin-sensei, in order to learn teamwork and experience true ninja life under the supervision and protection of an elite shinobi. The make-up of these teams is based on the individual skills of the genin, so that there will be a balance between the teams. Due to the fact that genin are the lowest level ninja, they normally provide limited use during dangerous missions (B-rank or higher), and are usually only capable of successfully completing E-rank or D-rank techniques. However, it should be noted that genin is simply a rank, and is not always an accurate representation of a ninja's skill level. Though genin are relatively low-levelled ninja, they can progress to become a chūnin, by successfully completing the chūnin exams, a set of difficult tasks made to test the skills of genin to see whether or not they should be chūnin.

Chūnin
Chūnin (中忍; Literally meaning "Middle Ninja", Meaning (Viz) "Journeyman Ninja") are ninja who are qualified to guide other ninja and lead missions. Chūnin have reached a level of maturity and ability that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. Genin who do not have the skills to become chūnin are weeded out in the chūnin exams. Chūnin are typically sent on C-rank or B-rank missions. To become a chūnin, a genin participates in a large examination, known as the "Chūnin Exams". Those who pass the test and become chūnin are eligible to wear an identifying flak jacket that holds ninjutsu scrolls. This vest is not mandatory; instead, some opt for more elaborate clothing like capes and robes.

Chūnin ▭ Academy Teacher
Those possessing this rank are qualified to teach at the Academy. Despite being of a chūnin rank, academy teachers, who have been charged by the Hokage with the care and supervision over the student body are required to prioritise their well-being over fulfilling the 'other' duties associated with their rank.

Tōkubetsu Jōnin
Tokubetsu Jōnin (特別上忍, Tokubetsu Jōnin; English TV "Special Jōnin"; Literally meaning "Special High Ninja"; sometimes known as Tokujō for short) are ninja who, rather than all-around jōnin training, have jōnin-level ability in a specific area or skill, much like warrant officers in real-world militaries. They are elite specialists in their areas and are often assigned as subordinates to regular jōnin when their services are needed.

Jōnin
Jōnin (上忍, Jōnin; Literally meaning "High Ninja", Meaning (Viz) "Elite Ninja") are generally highly-experienced shinobi with great individual skill who serve as military captains. They are often sent on A-rank missions, and experienced jōnin may even be sent on S-rank missions (which are considered to be the greatest difficulty). It is not unusual for jōnin to go on missions alone. Jōnin are generally able to use at least two types of elemental chakra, some genjutsu, and above average taijutsu skills.

Medical-nin
Medical-nin (医療忍, iryō-nin) are ninja who specialize in medical treatment and use of medical-oriented techniques to heal others. Becoming a medic-nin requires high intelligence and excellent chakra control. A medic-nin is trained to avoid getting injured in any way, for the reason that if they are injured, then there would be nobody to heal the other members of their team. Medic-nin accompany other ninja on high ranking missions to increase the success rate of the mission and overall survival rate of the squad.

Cryptology Squad
The Konoha Cryptology Squad is an organisation specialising in deciphering secret codes and messages. Its members appear to take direct orders from the Hokage. Their base of operation is located in a library-structured office. This facility possesses a desktop computer and numerous vertical files, presumably holding almost all of the secret codes Konohagakure uses in missions and message delivery.

Torture and Interrogation Force
This team is a special division within Konohagakure where persons are often taken and left in their hands in order to extract information from them through various means.

Medical-nin ▭ Taichō
Those of this rank are charged with leading the local medical-nin, directing them throughout medical facilities such as the hospital or when the village is at war, in camps.

Root ANBU
Root (根, Ne; Literally meaning "Root, Foundation") is a Konohagakure ANBU subdivision founded by Rare Uchiha. Its members carry out missions that Rare believes will benefit Konoha. Because of its core views, some of these missions may be less than respectable. The organisation's top priority is its secrecy, and most of its missions are carried out in the dark - autonomous of Konoha's authority. Root does not have an actual uniform like ANBU's standard uniform for underneath the cloak each Root member wears a personal attire. The only single distinguishing garment they all wear is worn on top of their own clothing. It consists of a short, black, midriff jacket, with red straps over the shoulders.

Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai
The ANBU (暗部; English TV "ANBU Black Ops"; Literally meaning "Dark Side"), short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊; Literally meaning "Special Assassination and Tactical Squad"), take orders directly from the Kage, performing special high-level missions, such as assassinations and torture. The ANBU usually work in teams formed to the requirements of the mission, ensuring maximum success. The shinobi in the ANBU are hand-picked by the Kage; chosen for their individual capabilities and special skills. Age, gender, background, or previous rank bear no weight in this decision. Members can also leave the organisation and return to a lower rank should they wish to. They wear their mask even in their own village, for their identity as an ANBU agent is to be known only by the Kage and village elders, with the exception of Konohagakure's "Root" ANBU members who, unless ordered to, will otherwise only act on Rare Uchiha's orders.

Sennyū Teisatsutai
The Infiltration and Reconnaissance Party (潜入偵察隊, Sennyū Teisatsutai) is an elite Konoha team tasked with tracking down notorious criminals, as well as performing reconnaissance within enemy territory. They are Konohagakure's equivalent of Kirigakure's Hunter-nin.

Jōnin Hanchō
The Jōnin Commander (上忍班長, Jōnin Hanchō) is a position in the shinobi system of Konohagakure. As a representative of the regular shinobi forces, they are a member of the council, giving them a say in important matters such as choosing a new Hokage. They are the highest-ranking normal shinobi in the village, but still officially a Jōnin themselves.

Root ANBU Taichō
Those of this rank generally head squadrons of Root members, hand-picked by their leader due to their promising talents in various fields.

Village Elder
The elder is a role played in the organised community that is most common in subsistence cultures, Elderhood being the condition or quality of being an elder. It is essentially the state of being in the latter portion of one's life and being looked to for leadership of either a passive or active nature by your peers and/or subordinates due almost exclusively to this fact. Sometimes it involves a ceremonial investiture of some kind, and other times it does not. Sometimes it involves a definite chronological milestone which must be surpassed, while at other times the required age is simply relative to the ages of all of the other members of the group in question. Once having met the peculiar requirements of their individual groups, however, all elders are generally expected to mentor, share their experience, create a sense of oneness for their followings and, most especially, act as the spiritual embodiments of their communities.

Administrator of Internal Affairs
Those of this rank are considered to possess a heavy political influence over the denizens of Konoha are are hence charged with the role of quenching any political uprisings, as well as to prevent them from ever occurring through their own personal methods.

Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai ▭ Buntaichō
As there are apparently no true ranks within the ANBU, unlike within the regular forces, the leaders of the teams are called squad leaders (分隊長, Buntaichō), a position held in high regard. Team leadership and hierarchy a'so seem to be based on merit and experience.

Village Ambassador
An ambassador is the highest ranking diplomat who represents a nation and is usually accredited to a foreign sovereign or government, or to an international organization. In everyday usage it usually applies to the ranking government representative stationed in a foreign capital. The host country typically allows the ambassador control of specific territory called an embassy, whose territory, staff, and even vehicles are generally afforded diplomatic immunity in the host country.

Council Member
The Konoha Council (ご意見番, Go-Ikenban) exists to help the Hokage govern the village and to make sure all decisions are made with the best interest of Konoha and its inhabitants in mind. Although the Hokage always has the final say in the matter, the councillors are there to give their opinions and advice, thus making sure the decisions made are fair and take into account all possibilities and viewpoints. Those at this rank are expected to have decades' worth of experience and knowledge and hold a social position similar to that of the Hokage, as well as exert a great influence over the governing of Konoha and have garnished wide support from the village's shinobi.

Chief of Patrol
The one possessing this rank is charged with leading the village's shinobi charged with the role of patrolling the village to supervise its denizen's activities.

High Council Member
Those possessing this rank are generally highly-respected council members with additional status.

Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai ▭ Sōtaichō
The one possessing this rank commands the entire ANBU regime and is placed under the direct authority of the Hokage.

根 Ne Sō Taichō 根
The one possessing this rank commands the entire Root ANBU regime, is a High Council Member as is generally the second-in-command, after the Hokage.

Godaime Hokage
The Hokage (火影; Literally meaning "Fire Shadow") are the leaders of Konoha. They are generally the strongest in the village, although ideology and renown plays a large part in their being chosen for the position. Four shinobi and one kunoichi have gained this title so far, with several other shinobi gaining the title of Candidate Hokage. Yūmei Kokūzō (幽明虚空蔵, Kokūzō Yūmei) is the Fifth Hokage (五代目火影, Godaime Hokage; Literally meaning "Fifth Fire Shadow") of Konohagakure and served as the leader of the organization, Genesis. He succeeded the position after the removal of its previously potential candidate, Shiizuki. He is currently the active Hokage.
