For Pain's headband, I actually meant 'Nagato' himself. :S

Well, thanks for answering some of my other questions though.

hey again, just a quick question;

in some (well most) fan fiction, the Kyuubi addresses Naruto as 'Kit' as a nick name, anyone know why or what it means?

just curious ^_^

It's a name for fox babies, like how dogs have pups.

Curious, why is it that no seen clan member, by that i mean: yamanaka, nara, akimichi, inzuka, hyugga, abruame,etc., ever use normal jutsu or elemental jutsu. The majority of all of the clans only use their own "special jutsu/techniques". Is their a reason for that?

In-universe, no. From a "man behind the curtain" perspective, Kishimoto probably wanted to have unique characters with unique techniques. That's why the concept of elements wasn't inroduced until much later.

Did Orochimaru and the rest of hidden sound know why Itachi realy killed his clan?

No. It, at that point in time, was known only to Madara, Itachi, Sarutobi, Danzou, and the council. Since none of them had any reason to tell Orochimaru, he apparently never found out.

Was it ever stated that Orochimaru used drugs to amplify Sasuke's training? Or was his exponential growth due to genius methods and his own prodigous skills?

Tsunade and Sakura both saw Sasuke's growth rate as being unnatural, so Tsunade offered up the use of drugs and/or forbidden jutsu as an explanation. It wasn't 100% confirmed.

1- About some ninjas, when they are wearing the vests, how do you tell the difference whether they are jounin, special jounin, and chuunin IF they are wearing those vets? like Shikamaru, Rock lee, Might Guy, Kakashi...???

2- There's a bag on Shino's back, what is it used for? The bag to carry special bugs, extra bugs or just a decoration?

3- Uhm, does Kakashi have a weakness BESIDES the prank for Make-Out thing or the overuse of his sharingan, doesn't he have a main weakness?

4- Why does Third Hokage have such long, long headband cloth-long than Naruto's?

5- This had me thinking, does ALL kages have their battle clothes under their kage clothes? like take Hiruzen for an example, he had the battle clothes underneath him but for Gaara as kazekage....I don't see his gourd sticking out anywhere under his kage clothes, so when he needs to come to battle Gaara quickly puts on his battle clothes than his gourd or he just take his kage clothes off, saying that his battle clothes is already ready and put on his gourd after?

6- last question, on Gaara's gourd, there are few same symbols on it, the "MWM" does it mean anything? Why does he have that type of symbol on his gourd?

I don't know the answer to all, but here is my ideas.
1-Those are called chunnin vests, but they are not there to specify rank, they are there because once a person reaches chunnin rank, they start doing missions that might need loads of handy pockets (we see Kakashi and Shikamaru make use of these). I guess the Hokage gives one upon achieving rank, and then people continue using them even if they get promoted.

2-Neji has a bag too, those are just standard ninja supplies for a mission. They just like to be prepared, I guess.

3-Kakashi has elemental weakness. His primary element is Raiton, and secondary is Doton, though he has used one Suiton jutsu also. He is especially weak to Fuuton, Suiton, and Katon.

4-Rule of Cool, I guess. Those long bands should technically be a nuisance, but, hey, they look really cool blowing in the wind, even if there is no wind blowing in the first place. :D

5-The Sandaime knew something the Kazekage was up to something (but he never knew there was no Kazekage in the first place, that was a shock!) That's why he wore armor to the chunnin match. And the "kage cloth" you are mentioning are just an easily removable robe and a hat, just a part of the protocol surrounding his office. Gaara just removed his robe, picked up the gourd that was most probably sitting in the corner (or summoned it, that's a possibility) and went to fight Deidara.

6-There is fan theory that it is a variant of "MUM" (remember, Garra called its bijuu "Mother"), but no confirmed evidence.

For number 1 i actually meant, there are variety of ninjas in konoha that are chuunin, special jounin, and jounins but if you don't know what their ranks are, HOW do you know by just looking at their vests? Or they just wear all the same critical patterns of those vests.

Flack vests are flack vests; you need to know someone's rank to know the difference.

Uniform probably isn't required by Konoha. You're focused on Vests, when are no more than just Ninja Tools, not symbols of rank, even though that's the trend. It seems that unless the Jounin is very well-known, they're not supposed to disclose their rank information through obvious clothing in foreign lands.

I thought you had to wear a vest if you are chunnin and above unless your the hokage or out of the village for reasons other than an official mission???

I know you aren't allowed to wear one if you aren't a chuunin, that's for sure.

It seems though like characters with a name though can wear whatever the hell they want and not have to abid by any rules. <_<
As in Neji as a Jounin or Rest of Konoha 12 who are all chuunin who don't wear the green vests with exception of Shikamaru (who does follow the rules) and Naruto (who unfortunately is still a genin :( )

It was never stated or implied that there was a rule that the uniforms of the various Ninja villages were mandatory. And clearly, as evidenced through the characters who don't wear them, the uniforms are optional. And it was never stated that Gennin couldn't wear them as well. Knowing that Gennins make up the majority of a ninja village's forces, it's only logical that Gennin would be wearing the uniforms, if they individually chose to do so.

Lee wears one too. And we don't know if Shino wears one under the hoodie (makes no sense, but then again, the bug don't make sense either ;) )
But basically, they are just part of Kishi's way of saying "Attention! that random vest wearing person you see is a full ninja, not a student, genin or a civilian".

Your question doesn't make much sense. Every ninja has their own amount and limits in regards to chakra (with only a few unfortunate exceptions). As to where they get it, it's a mixture of physical and spiritual energies. If you want to learn more, check the main site.

They get chakra by eating food. that's why ninja's can eat so much without getting fat, like Anko and her dumplings (fun fact: according to the official fanbook, all the dumplings she ate while proctoring the second part of the Chunin Exam contain over 6,000 calories, the amount most adult women need in four days, and would take 18 hours of jogging to burn off)
