Everyone just starting and hitting Chunin remember that once you do you can join one of the “Immortal Realms” on the list at the beginning of this thread. If you want a closer look at which ones have better bonuses or even which have openings then do a village look-up (on your main page at the bottom right) and type in the name of the village you’re interested in. Many of the bigger villages give starting players free shinies to help them get on their feet in the game. Also, if you decide you like your current village but would like to try to get an alt (a second or third character you make, you can have up to three characters on one IP) in an IR for growing faster and having access to all content then simply make that character with the kage of said village you’re interested in as your referral, that way you can go in as a genin.
