Speed:
Speed is the rate at which you can move, react and perform important tasks like escape, countering attacks and even striking your opponent. As your speed approached the mid ranks of two and three you will be able to cross battlefields in mere moments, kicking heavily into the dirt with chakra assisted motions and even be able to dodge quick strikes to your person, depending on the speed of those who are attempting to strike you. Speed will also determine your ability to quickly form Hand Seals and perform Nin, Tai and Genjutsu, either in response or attack.


 * 1/5: Able to see danger coming and take steps to avoid it, at this rank you are able to run quite quickly and even jump high, you are on the way to becoming a quick Shinobi.
 * [Example: Able to deflect Kunai with your own weapon, if accurate]


 * 2/5:Quicker reactions are becoming yours, you are now increasingly able to act upon and escape the techniques of others, though depending on the size of the attack you may not be quick enough.
 * [Example: Capable of escaping and moving out of the way of a pair of Shuriken, by performing a burst of speed, moving to your right by two feet.]


 * 3/5: You're quick, quick enough for it to be noticed. You can avoid well timed attacks and with quick enough reflexes manage to pull off clean deflections and counters within a second, to be blunt. You're hard to keep a hold of.
 * [Example: Able to move out of the way of a sword strike at melee range, unless your opponent is quicker then you.]


 * 4/5: For the most part at this stage your body and its actions are limited by how quickly your mind can process a response and take action, so long as your enemy isn't faster then you, most attacks unless from a blind spot or trap, are possible to avoid in a half moments notice.
 * [Example: Grabbing a kunai which has been thrown at you then throwing it back.]


 * 5/5: Muscle memory and harsh, brutal training has brought you to this point, quick is no longer a word you use, quick is too slow. If you wish it you can close the distance between you and an enemy, move behind them and be an inch away from striking them in the blink of an eye or less. Your speed is all but unrivaled.
 * [Example: Dodging an enemies attack at close range, darting behind them and attempting to kick their feet out from under them.]

Hand Seals:
The Hand Seals area is the hardest to define its value of points for, but in simplicity as you gain ability with Hand Seals you become increasingly more able to control your chakra and perform manipulations without the use of Seals at all, being able to skip some possibly, saving you from revealing your true intent until the Jutsu is made known or possibly eventually, for a Jounin or Kage level Shinobi, the level of mastery of Hand Seals equal to the Second Hokage might be achieved.. the man who needed use only one hand seal, instead of fourty four. Too with this subject comes the ability to perform chakra manipulation within yourself more easily, such as drawing to parts of your body or quicker formation of chakra.


 * 1/5: Genin level ability with hand seals, able to form hand seals slowly, often fail in the completion of your hand seals and sometimes takes repeated attempts to form the correct manipulations of chakra to produce well made Nin, Tai and Genjutsu.


 * 2/5:Chuunin level ability with hand seals, rarely if ever fail to produce a correctly made jutsu. You can perform hand seals in seconds, almost like a flowing dance of fingers and your skill with chakra manipulation is fair.


 * 3/5: Jounin level ability with hand seals and chakra manipulation, able to form hand seals within seconds and manipulate chakra within your body to a high degree, jutsu techniques up to B rank have become nearly useable without attention paid to their formation and acts such as walking on water are second nature, requiring no dedicated focus.


 * 4/5: High level of ability and experience in chakra manipulation and the formation of Hand Seals, approaching Medical Nin levels of skill, weaving of high level jutsu is second nature to you, sometimes you are able to skip some hand seals entirely in D and C rank jutsu techniques, for example you may be able to perform the Clone Technique and Body Replacement Technique without the use of hand seals at all.


 * 5/5: Past a Medical Nin level of chakra manipulation and ability in the performance of Hand Seals, you can accurately and precisely produce jutsu of all kinds, using the bare minimum of chakra to perform full strength jutsu, where once a B rank jutsu may have costed you 8% of your chakra, now it will only need 6% to be fully formed such is your prowess. Also now for jutsu up to A rank you are becoming able to not use some hand seals, a Chidori which usually requires Nine Hand seals, you may achieve full power with it after performing only four or five hand seals.
