Various Leaf Village jonin before the 4th Shinobi World War, Source [[1]]. Jonin are chunin who have become so exceptional that they have earned the notice of their respective Kage and received enough commendations from civilians and other shinobi. Jonin primarily take A-Rank missions, and are the only shinobi authorized to take S-Rank missions, lead teams of genin, and even learn forbidden jutsu. Of all jonin, taijutsu masters are some of the rarest.
