Sparring is a turn based strategic fighting game. It requires a minimum of three people, two players and a procter to monitor and track the status of the players. This feature takes place over the websites chatbox and rewards both parties with credits and EXP. I recommend upgrading to level 5 before sparring in order to have a good amount of battle options.

Ninja Training is a feature that allows you to customize your in-game character. Leveling up comes at the cost of EXP. You can come up with radically different builds for your fighting style by being a Taijutsu, Ninjutsu or Genjutsu specialist. By enrolling in the academy you start with 5 free points to allocate between three stats: Strength, Endurance & Agility.

The shop is where you buy all of your tools, gear and weapons. Tools are one use items, Weapons are permanent and allow for a variery of use, while gear serves as permanent supplemental equipment. You buy from the shop with credits, our website currency. This is gained through participating in NF features.

Missions present you with an objective and a number of scenarios. From there it works as a choose as your own adventure game, each choice you make yielding a number of different scenarios and consequences. Missions are conducted over hidden sections of the forum, access is granted to players after they sign up for a specific mission. EXP & Credit end reward is determined based on performance. If you submit a mission of your own you are awarded based on its quality.

The Genin exam is a 10 question test to determine rank up in the faction. A minimum of 10 points is required to pass, with the difficulty of each question awarding between 1 to 3 points. Gaining above the required amount of points wins you Fame points as a bonus. Once you have sufficient Fame contact an admin so he can conduct the test.

Shinobi is a board game that functions with a maximum of 4 players and one Gamemaster. The game master rolls for each player and the tile you land on presents you with a range of circumstances. Your objective in the game is to defeat the gamemaster while building your village and resources. At the same time you can compete or cooperate with the other players, by building alliances or waging war as the situation suits you.

The Chunin exam is an event that comes around when there are enough candidates. This comes at an interval of every few months once enough are eligible. Its a three part exam consisting of written, scroll and sparring sections. Just like the Genin Exam ranking up allows you to learn advanced Jutsu.

A card game using NF members as the cards themselves. Two players engage in a card duel over the site chatbox Duelists can build their decks with a number of individual cards and use them to lower the health of the opponent. This feature yields a high number of credits & EXP to the winner. Duels can be subject to wagers with outside gamblers betting on the winner as well.

Village wars is a feature that affects the entire Academy system by pitting village against village in a vie for the top rank in the continent. It functions as a meta game that presents the leader of a village with a set of decisions. This ranges from assigning a required number of missions for his members to complete before the end of the month, to a quota of spar wins required before a time limit. The outcome of these set objectives reward the village with appropriate resources based on their difficulty and whether they were completed. This impacts the village by leaving it susceptible to invasion by another, or putting it in a spot of economic dominance or military superiority.
