X-Rank

X-Rank (Xランク, Eks Ranku) is one of the seven classifications utilized in the Land of Sages. It is preceded by the S-Rank commonly used by other nations. It is typically used when classifying Bloodlines, Jutsu, and Shinobi with extreme potential for devastation or effectiveness, capable of effecting the livelihood of humans, ecosystems and entire countries. X-Rank techniques are often the most powerful techniques within a Shinobi's arsenal rather than being their signature technique.

Missions classified as X-Rank are always and are of the most dangerous among mission categories. Only assigned to the best within the village under the exclusive command of the Shinsenkage, they pay at minimum 20,000,000 ryō.

"X-Rank" is also a designation given to extremely powerful individuals, whether they be Missing-Nin or Shinobi loyal to their villages, with the latter being a practice uncommon outside of the Land of Sages. Examples of X-Rank Shinobi outside of the Land of Sages within their classification system are, , , and various members. {{nw|Kara} is an example of an X-Rank organization.
