Sand Village Ranks

Is the leader of one of the five most powerful Hidden Villages and generally are also the most powerful ninja in their respective villages. They are collectively known as the Five Kage. If a Kage has held their position for several decades, younger ninja are likely to have become stronger than they are. In such cases, the Kage may retire and give the title to someone else; the title, once granted, is held permanently.

Originally created by the 3rd Kazekage, Goryu is a group of people gathered by the 7th Kazekage and they are the possessors of the Goryu Rings. Goryu are crowned Suna's "Ultimate Attack Force", and are the strongest individual fighters within Sunagakure besides the Kage himself. Kostas gathered these five members in secret, some of the members are still unknown, and others we know very little about. Goryu' only superior is the Kazekage and even members of the Village Council don't have authority to command them. These five people/demons are said to have extraordinary battle techniques and capabilities, and were selected for their resolution and strength. Each have A-ranked subordinates.

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 labor, or, very 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.
