until we get more members in other areas there will be a temporary ban on ranks. Konoha will be the only place not under this ban, all other villages/organizations/missing nin will not accept anything higher than B rank nin. Those who are already applying will be under a grandfather clause and not restricted as much, but there will still be limitations in place based on where you want to go. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Update -
Rank capacities have been reduced in the open ranks topic.
Currently, Kumo, Iwa, and Kiri may only have an additional A-Rank Shinobi of Jounin rank.
The second S-Rank Missing-nin slot has been reserved for plot use.
