I'm a Sennin! D<

Something that has been bugging me a bit since I got to US is the Rank banner that says "Sennin". It should be saying "Sannin", meaning something along the lines of Legendary Shinobi, where as Sennin means Sage or Hermit. It's just something that bugs me personally (Makes me want to kick puppies and kittens) whenever I see it. If everyone else is content with this, just ignore it.

Quote :: The Japanese term sennin is a loanword from Middle Chinese SenNyin 仙人 "immortal person", known also as xian "immortal; transcendent; genie; mage; djinn; sage; hermit" in Daoism.

Sennin image was perpetuated in many Japanese legends, art, miniature sculpture (netsuke). It is the wooden netsuke, made in the 18th century. It represents a perplexed old man with one hand based on the curve of a snag, and the other hand is rubbing his head with concern...

- Dragon Ball (anime and manga), contains a hermit character known as the Kame-Sen'nin, Turtle Sage, or Master Roshi.

- Naruto (anime and manga), is usually translated to sage (a hermit), using the novelized sense that the hermit is a wise old man that aids the protagonists in their quest towards some good end. The sennin are usually represented by both human and anthropomorphic toads.

So you reach one of the highest ranks, and are then casted out and told to live like reclusive?

Sennin is just the title bestowed onto what essentially is Master S-rank Jounin. Everybody needs to stop looking too much into it.

It just seems like someone made a typo ages ago, or rather, got Sennin and Sannin mixed up TEEHEE

Totally agree with Chris.

And this one is for Travis: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sage
Just saying, this is Naruto, not the real world
THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!

Oh, sorry, this is not Facebook, my bad.

It makes more sense for it to be sennin than sannin, as sannin literally means three shinobi. That's why they were called the legendary sannin, because they were three shinobi, lol. So having the rank as sannin would be silly.

Just my two cents.

I hate agreeing with this prick, but I'm about to. It's just a title, really. We can go into specifics and look at which is more appropriate to use, but then at the same time, we could go roleplay or moderate creations or just do something slightly more productive with our not very valuable time. Just a suggestion. Even cracking one off would probably achieve more than changing a single vowel. Also Alex also has a point, as always.

Agreed, just saying that Sennin has a different meaning here than it does in the Narutoverse. But if people are cool with it, no problem here xD
