A flak jacket is an item of protective clothing popular among ninja. Flak jackets have several pockets and pouches that can be used to store and quickly access weapons and other supplies. When on missions, they provide at least partial protection from damage by blunt-force trauma, shrapnel, other projectiles, and even blades. Flak jackets started being worn around the time of the First Shinobi World War, replacing the plate armour common during the Warring States Period. They can be worn by ninja of every rank, but are mostly worn by chūnin rank or higher.
Styles
Each hidden village, nation, and several other armed factions has their own design or designs of flak jacket.
Jacket | Group | Description |
---|---|---|
Konohagakure, Sunagakure, Amegakure, and Kumogakure | Worn after the Fourth Shinobi World War, these flak jackets are green. They are simple chest-guards covering the torso and lower groin that come with clipped-on shoulder pads with high-collars and a strap across the waist. The traditional Uzushiogakure symbol is no longer present on the back of the Konoha-nins' flak jackets, but is instead emblazoned onto an armband worn as part of the standard attire. | |
Konohagakure | Worn for most of the series, these flak jackets are green, though pauldron colours can differ from the chest colours. They have three scroll pouches on each side of their chest, a neck guard, extra padding over the shoulders (which is fastened on by steel buttons), and a zipper down the middle. The Uzushiogakure symbol is integrated onto the back of the jacket, symbolising the ties between the two villages. | |
Konohagakure | Worn by Konoha's Anbu, these flak jackets are steel grey. They come with steel gauntlets and seem to be fastened with a zipper, an interwoven band near the stomach, and two straps over the shoulders. Swords are mounted on the back just over the right shoulder by a metal holster. Furthermore, they come with two equipment pouches instead of one. | |
Konohagakure | Worn in Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Lost Tower, these flak jackets were dull brown. They came with angular shoulder guards that envelope the entire upper chest, a throat guard, a neck guard, and one scroll pouch attached to the left shoulder. Though the padding was thinner on the sides, it extended down in the front and back. They also came with knee and elbow padding alongside a large pouch on the lower back. | |
Konohagakure | Worn during the Second Shinobi World War, these flak jackets were steel grey. They were usually worn over the older version of the flak jacket as extra protection, connected by straps over the shoulders and hips. It came with protruding shoulder guards, extensions to protect the lower throat and abdomen, and steel gauntlets. A stand-alone variant without a throat guard or protruding shoulder guards has been seen. | |
Konohagakure | Worn during the Second Shinobi World War. It lacked pockets and sometimes neck guards. The lack of scroll pouches was remedied by wearing two additional equipment pouches on the lower back. | |
Konohagakure | Worn by the Anbu Root during their false flag operation to assassinate the Third Hokage, these flak jackets are brown. They are fastened by clasps over the shoulder alongside a zipper They possess two pockets on the upper chest and two sets of scroll pouches diagonally set on the lower stomach. It comes with two pouches on the lower back and a sword strapped over the right shoulder. It is also worn over a green jumpsuit and comes with knee pads and gauntlets. | |
Sunagakure | These flak jackets are beige. They may or may not include shoulder padding, shoulder guards, neck guards, and scroll pouches over their stomachs. They are fastened by a zipper in the front and by metal clasps on the shoulders. A pouch is included in the lower back. | |
Sunagakure | Worn by some genin, these flak jackets are brownish-beige. They are fastened by a zipper, worn over a short-sleeved shirt and bodysuit, and lack scroll pouches or shoulder padding. This is compensated by having a thick neck guard that envelops the entire neck and segmented steel arm-guards. | |
Iwagakure | Worn since the time of the Third Shinobi World War, these flak jackets were brown in colour, with a large zippered pouch over their stomach and a larger, buttoned one over the lower back of the vest. Both pouches are fastened on by a strap over the stomach. None of these flak jackets hold the presence of neck guards though they do retain shoulder padding held in place by buttons and zippers that go down the middle. | |
Kirigakure and Kiri's hunter-nin | These flak jackets are slate grey. They are very basic in design and have no pockets. The most notable features of these flak jackets are the extended shoulder guards and lower extensions on either side to protect the lower abdomen. This flak jacket is fastened from the sides by straps. Post-war, they were modified to include thin neck guards like other nations' post-war models. | |
Kirigakure | Worn in the anime by Team Ganryū and others who were against the Shinobi Alliance, these flak jackets are slate grey. They are very similar to Iwagakure's but sometimes come with neck guards. | |
Kirigakure | Worn in the anime in the past, these jackets are slate grey. Unlike its counterparts, it came with two scroll pouches on the lower left side, a pocket on the right chest, a built-in pouch on the lower back, a neck guard, an extension to protect the lower stomach, and was fastened by a covered zipper. However, there is only minimal padding on the sides. The village's symbol is embedded on the back. | |
Kirigakure | Worn by Kiri's Anbu, these flak jackets are slate grey.
