Thread: Political Structure in the World of Naruto

mmm well put it this way, there are the five major countries who have Hidden Villages which are in a sense their army. Fire Country has Hidden Leaf and so on. These villages fund themselfs so far as we know through clients who pay the Hidden villages. Of coz we all know abt the mission ranks right? We assume that most of the funding comes from the high paying missions like S or A ranked but are few n far between where as the lower ranks like D rank are low pay but more in number. Of coz we never see the gov'ts of the countries coz the anime series does actually focus round the Hidden Villages.

What Blade X said pretty much sums it up. If my memory serves me right, there actually wasn't much more said on the political structures in the manga than the anime. All I remember from the manga are little bits of information here and there, that've completely left my mind now. I might go back and skim-read the manga, and see if I can pick up anything else Blade X didn't mention. What we found out in the anime shouldn't be too far off from what was remarked upon in the manga.

The Land of Wind (the sand) has a daimyo. Wind Country has a warlord in charge of their government.

Think of it this way:
The Daimyo or some other figurehead (a prime minister maybe for Fire Country) are in charge of the govenment. The 'Kage are in charge of the military. While the equivalent of the ANBU in each country are the soldiers. The Jonin and the Chunin are also soldiers, but the ANBU are more focused in protecting the country and are the elite of the elite. Basically, they are the SWAT team.

I watch anime and read manga. When anime, the leaf village is called the hidden leaf village, kinda weird. The hidden village is used when the country's position is unknown. e.g. The hidden waterfall village, The hidden water village and many many more....

Some form of government? There could be some form of government. I think of it this way. The kage is like the prime minister , then there are the leaders of those special group like Ibiki Morino. well that how I see it

But the Kage are strictly just the leaders of their specific villages. The Kage has nothing to do with the actual country itself. All they really are are just military leaders.

True but Its one of the government branches that help keep the country in check and safe. The military keep the country safe and keep the villagers from doing criminals things
