The shinobi system in the Narutoverse was, without a doubt, one of the most interesting concepts in the anime. This system was just and fair, never discriminating against anyone. No matter who a person was or where they came from, they all had an equal chance to prove themselves and rise through the ranks to become the strongest shinobi out there.
In fact, some of the most promising and powerful shinobi rose through the ranks much faster than their comrades, thanks to this very impartiality. They ended up becoming a jonin-level shinobi at a very young age, with some of these shinobi being not even in their teens when they made it to jonin.
