Ranks
The level of one’s strength is determined primarily by their rank. Rank, meaning how fast, strong and stealthy they are as well has how many weapons and jutsus they can hold. A member will start off at genin rank, and then can compete in special exams (which are held every few months) in order to increase their rank.
Each jutsu is a move (as you probably already know). A bloodline costs 5 jutsus, not counting special jutsus reserved for that bloodline. Only it’s basic abilities are included in the 5 jutsu cost. Each new bloodline level has a 1 slot cost (more slots for larger advancements in the bloodline). Members also have ‘stars’ which are limited by their rank as well. These stars can be used however the user wants in order to buy weapons. For example, the ability to use kunais in battle is 1 star (this doesn’t mean 1 kunai costs 1 star, by paying 1 star your basically granted access to a reasonable supply of kunais. To throw 20 kunais every post would be considered a godmod).
