The Ninsou, or Ninja Monks, are a group of shinobi, ex-shinobi, mercenaries, and non-ninja serving within a large monk temple, usually located within the countryside of a Nation. Unlike Hidden Villages however, these temples do not operate as militaristic hubs and instead focus on special situations outside of the ninja world, such as dealings with the Daimyo and even other undiscovered portions of the world. As with normal monks, there are several levels a ninja monk can have focus strictly on spreading peace, and protecting that which they have been entrusted to protect. Ranging from the Daimyou himself to other national duties, the work of a Monk is never over.
Ninsou, as their name implies, are agents of peace which surround around one belief and let the faith in that belief guide them through their lives. They carry uncanny strength and skill, and come from many walks of life. However, one thing is for certain - they will die to protect the life of the Daimyo and the Temple of their land. Though Daimyo are political entities, history has shared a good relationship between the country's leader and the neutral Temples that reside within and harness the country's natural elemental power. That's right - while Temples are devoted to the power of chakra and its elemental use, no two Temples will ever be the same. However, their joining requirements tend to be the same.
Because of the Great War, many of the coveted ancient temples have been temporarily lost. However, some still remain, standing strong and representing their country's power:
Mizu no Garan - The "Great Temple of Water" is a holy worship of the path under water, devoting Suiton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Water Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Mizu no Kuni.
Kaze no Garan - The "Great Temple of Wind" is a holy worship of the path of the winds, devoting Fuuton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Wind Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Kaze no Kuni.
Raijin no Garan - The "Great Temple of Thunder" is a holy worship of the path of the lightning bolt, devoting Raiton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Lightning Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Kaminari no Kuni.
Tsuchi no Garan - The "Great Temple of Earth" is a holy worship of the path underground, devoting Doton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Earth Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Tsuchi no Kuni.

Restrictions
2. Only those of a Good alignment can become a part of the Ninsou, and must show their inner nature to the Ninsou by performing a Good natured deed.
3. In order to become a Ninsou, one must be taught by another, either a PC or NPC one, which can be found in the temples of each country — or if you’re lucky, you could find a Shamon to teach you.
4. Each title determines what rank of techniques one can use of the Sentō-Botoke (Fighting Buddha, note: some higher ranking techniques can be an exception), and there are three tiers within the Ninsou, and they are: Shugyōsō (Monk-in-Training) can learn D – C-rank techniques, Hogosha-sō (Guardian Monk) can learn B – A-rank techniques and Rōsōryo (Elder Monk) can learn the S-rank techniques. There is also one special title a monk can carry, and it is usually only given to one monk from each temple, with permission from the Daimyo. It is for the monk of that title to go around on their own accord teaching the word their methods of peace and maintaining it; this title is called Shamon (Wandering Buddhist Monk), and can only be obtained by those who have earned the rank of Hogosha- sō.
5. Once the title of Shugyōsō is placed upon you, there will be no quick way for you to advance to the next stage, well there is one, if an Elder Monk or the Daimyo deems you as ready to take on the role, but that is for you to only become a Hogosha-sō. Other than that, it takes five years (so you develop the next title through story progression) to become a Hogosha-sō, and to become an Rōsōryo takes four times as long. The Ninsou is an extremely story-based progression, it isn’t like the others were you can rush it. Also, that one special way to rank up requires a ton of RP devoted to Ninsou related things, and then a quest.[/ul][/div][/font]
