The ryō () is the currency used in the Naruto world. It is based on an old Japanese gold coin that was used in Japan before the Meiji period. It was later replaced by the Yen. In the Official Fan Book: Hiden: Hyō no Sho, Masashi Kishimoto gave the exchange rate of 10 yen to a ryō.

Although money isn't focused on much in the story, certain prices and sums of money have been mentioned. For example, Asuma Sarutobi has a price on his head of 35 million ryō, five million ryō more than his fellow former Guardian Ninja, Chiriku. Another example is missions. Shinobi usually earn their money by completing missions. The rewards for these range from five thousand ryō for a simple D-rank mission to more than a million ryō for an S-rank mission. In the anime, Utakata has been given a bounty of 50,000,000 ryō for his defection.
