Samurai's are in the story dude, but they play a minor role.

There's been nothing to suggest that Samurai exist in the Narutoverse. If you're referring to the hired mob that Gato hired, that's just it. They were bandits with swords, nothing more. Kishimoto has shown to convert a lot of his country's culture and myth into his series, but he hasn't shown anything in terms of social structure and order outside of the ninja villages save for the Daimyo. The samurai were not just a group of warriors in ancient japan, they were a social cast. The closest hint would be the use of the term Daimyo, which was a provincial lord position in japan that only a Samurai could have, similar to a Duke, Earl or Baron in Britain. But since in the narutoverse it's relevance is used as the equivalent of a king or an emperor as opposed to what it originally is, then there isn't much grounds to suggest that Samurai exist or even play a role in Naruto.

The two 'swordsman' that Gato hire were samurai swordsman, not just bandits. Kishimoto talks about them in one of his fanbooks, I have it. The clown-esque Samurai was actually based off of a samurai but I can't think of who and the book is at my moms, where I reside currently at my dads.

That hasn't been said, I assume some sort of exam is involved.

If he had all three at the time of activation, then 8, other than that we don't know.

Itachi was 13, and Sasuke was 8.

Does a shinobi's chakra capacity increase over time or does it remain the same throughout their life?

it can also decrease if they get old (thats what happened to the 3rd, his chakra decreased so he couldn't do shadow clone jutsu anymore, well he was but only that one time for the whole battle)

so they can increase until past their prime basically

I thought that was due to the third not being able to control his chakra as well as he used to.

It's likely that it's both.

Whoever Kishimoto wants to win. Don't turn this into a vs thread.

In terms of the the Leaf, the only known requirement is to have experience in two elements. Requirements for other villages very likely vary. How one becomes a Jonin regardless of where they come from is likely through being selected for promotion from the Kage or the leading Jonin.

In Naruto wind beats lightning but that's just element wise so it would be up to Kishi.

It's likely that it's both.

last time i'll say anything on this, he probably still had great control over his chakra, if not better cause he had less chakra, think about running, you grow endurence as you age until so you get to somewhere near your prime, then you start to lose that endurence, not because you can't control it, your bones are just getting tired and worn out, in fact, i've seen old people run longer but at a much slower pace, but younger people can run the longer distances faster because their bones are not worn out

but thats how i see it, as far as i know, they never really explained it (but its been a long time since i watched it, i should probably rewatch that part, it gave some good information)

When a ninja student graduates to Genin, he/she is then assigned to a 3 man team & later a Jounin is assigned to instruct them. The Jounin determines if they are worthy to be ninja & if they are, train & ready them for the Chuunin exams. But as far as I can tell, these Jounins never train another team. After their training one team, do the Jounins train another team or is it just the one team?

It depends on what that Jounin wants to do. He/She can go on and train new academy students, or as in a Jounin's case like Kakashi/Asuma, once they finish training their Genin, they can stick around with their team and complete missions together.

Read this.

For future reference, this thread isn't for those kinds of questions. This is for those referring to the series itself, not the forum.

what exactly is a clan in the world of naruto? are all the uchihas related to each other? whats sasukes relationship to the other members? for instance is shisui sasuke's cousin? and are all the other clan members distant cousins, uncles, aunts etc. of sasuke's? madara for example does he have a family relationship to sasuke like distant cousin or great grandparent?

sorry for so many questions but i am really confused as to what a clan is.

Well the direct definiton of a clan is a group of people united be kinship and descent. Not all the members of the uchiha we have seen have have been in direct family of one another, but they are built of minor families that are all from a common ancestor.
