Journal:
I think it would be a custom for a Jōnin-sensei to gift their students with a journal consisting of stuff like life hacks, trick, tips, interesting jutsu, best shops, unspoken rules, odd creatures encountered, short stories/memories and anything else when their student becomes a chūnin. Like;
Tip: When learning a fire jutsu, remember to bring extra clothes and practice near a body of water- when you mess up, you tend to catch fire.
Shadow Force:
The Shadow Force [named in passing but somehow stuck] is what I see as the village viewing as ANBU overall. Those actually a part of it would divide it into
ANBU, Oinin, Yami, Shinigami and Akuma.
ANBU: ninja whom take high-risk, high-priority, information-sensitive and/or suicidal missions. The things they do are things like sabotage, assassination, infiltration and theft.
Oinin: ninja whose main job is to hunt traitors. They are the ones who chase after ninja whom leave the village, they are also in charge of investigating to uncover traitors and/or traps in/near the village.
Yami: ninja whose primary job is infiltration. Unlike ANBU, they infiltrate and stay under cover for extended periods of time [shortest recorded is two weeks while longest so far is fourteen years], they are the villages primary spies and are the ones who handle seduction missions.
Shinigami: ninja who mainly deal with the dead. They are the ones who go out to retrieve dead bodies of fallen ninja, ninja of the village have their bodies "sealed" to allow for burial, enemy ninja are dissected and studied.
Akuma: ninja who deal with interrogation with higher priority targets then regular T&I. They are the ones whom take care of ninja the Oinin deliver, they are the wardens of the Maggot's Nest and are rumored to have a "re-education" program.
Idioms/Saying:
When in Rome, do as the Romans do - When in Sunagakure, do as the Suna nin do.
Penny for your thoughts - Ryo for your thoughts?
Drop of a hat - At the word of your Kage.
The ball is in your court - The kunai's in your hand.
Bes thing since sliced bread - Best thing since Storage Scrolls.
A blessing in disguise - An ally undercover.
Judge a book by it's cover - Judge an ANBU by their mask.
Don't cry over spilt milk - Don't cry for lost kunai.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket - Don't put all your kunai in one pouch.
Takes two to tango - Takes two to spar.
Every cloud has a silver lining - Every border has an outpost.
If there were Daemons:
I don't think Kakashi's daemon would ever really settle, more of shifting through a certain pool of animals that display traits enhancing however Kakashi is choosing to act at the moment.
People in general believe that Kakashi is broken/wrong due to this. He, however, views it as how his daemon displays her own "mask" for all that it's not cloth like his.
Summons, World:
I think that the summons all live on a different plane of existence, kind of like the Kamui World, with individual summon species (ie. Dogs, toads, snakes, hawks) residing in their own pocket dimensions.
I also believe that each pocket has a way out to both the Human World (like perhaps hawks have an opening high in the sky, above the clouds and out of sight) and the Summon World; the Human World exit is, in case a summoner dies before passing on their contract, for summons to seek out new contractors.
The Summons World exit is a bit more tricky.
A. A hopeful summoner can reverse summon there to seek out a contact, this is uncommon as summons don't tend to appreciate strangers crashing about into their territory and summoners get lost easily because markers aren't meant for humans. Some succeed, though almost always with a companion plus their summon to act as a guide and show of faith.
B. This is wild, unclaimed, neutral territory that exists for four reasons:
• Stability of individual pocket dimensions/territories, including the addition of new summons and their territory.
• Meetings between summons- be it business, friendly or hostile.
• Survival here is seen as a right of passage with the time depending on the species- anywhere from a day to a week to a month to a year (like…mice a day, cat a week, dog a month, bird a year). Of course individuals may stay longer to prove themselves.
• Criminals and Outcasts are sent here (timing dependent on the severity of the "crime"), free game as food.
Writing:
I do actually put some thought into, basically useless, details. What people write with, for example;
[ he awkwardly gripped the box-like, eraser-less pencil and he very much missed the circular ones he had been accustomed to (even those newer 'mechanical' pencils would have been preferable to these)]
I see Sakumo's Generation using older pencils, the square-ish ones with no erasers. Minato's generation would be bulky, semi-round with hard erasers. Kakashi's Generation would have circular pencils, with soft erasers- the kind that are seen around now a days.
Naruto's Generation would be split; Kakashi-gen pencils when in the academy, Kakashi-gen pencils with mechanical pencils showing up when they're older.
Time zones:
The way I see it;
Konoha - 10:00
Suna - 09:00
Iwa - 09:00
Kumo - 11:00
Kiri - 12:00
Timeline:
0 - 400 God Tree Era
0 - 60 Sage of Six Paths Era
0 - 1256 Warring States Era
0 - ? Village System Era
- Each Era restarts at zero at the end of the one before. So the 1st Hokage's reign ends in 1733.
—0 - 17 1st Hokage Reign
—17 - 38 2nd Hokage Reign
—38 - 72 3rd Hokage Reign I
—72 - 75 4th Hokage Reign
—75 - 88 3rd Hokage Reign II
—88 - 92 5th Hokage Reign I
—92 Danzō's Reign
—92 - ? 5th Hokage Reign II
ANBU Squads:
I think ANBU squads would be on the larger side, that doesn't mean that they would all be on the same mission together all the time. Squads would train together so that they'd be familiar with each other's fighting styles; missions would generally be assigned in teams derived from the squad.
Squads would be made up of one captain and X vice captains who would lead the the teams, the rest would be labeled as Medic, Tracker or Attacker. Like so- ↓
CAPTAIN
Hatake Kakashi, Inu [Dog]
VICE
Nara Ensui, Kuma [Bear]
Mokuton Tenzo, Tora [Tiger]
Uchiha Itachi, Usagi [Rabbit]
MEDIC
Oribe Suiki, Nezumi [Rat/Mouse]
Inuzuka Hana, Haiena [Hyena]
Yōji Kumadori, Ojika [Stag/Buck]
TRACKER
Aburame Muta, Inago [Locust/Grasshopper]
Hyūga Tokuma, Taka [Hawk]
Yamanaka Santa, Hayabusa [Peregrine Falcon]
ATTACKER
Uzuki Yūgao, Neko [Cat]
Namiashi Raidou, Jakkaru [Jackal]
Shiranui Genma, Kitsune [Fox]
Budget, Kakashi:
Pre-Genin (General Income): 510,000 ryō ($50,000)
Village Cut: [30%] 153,000 ryō ($15,000)
Food: 1,630 ryō ($160)
Rent: 19,846 ryō ($1950)
Pets: 22,390 ryō ($2,200)
Personal: 10,180 ryō ($1,000)
Equipment: 300,600 ryō ($26,000)
TOTAL;
Unused: 2,354 ryō ($2,190)
Used: 507,646 ryō ($47,810)
Notes: I see the village getting 30% of the income for each mission which covers medical expenses, rent is paid for weekly for active ninja and the majority of money tends to go towards equipment upkeep/replacement.
I think Kakashi would take higher ranking/multiple missions. All the money he spends tends to stay at the same amount except for food- that varies by the amount of free meals he can get (I also follow the belief that ninja eat considerably more than civilians). He also likes spoiling his Ninken.

S-Rank: 384 Kra
Notes: When writing, to make sure that characters aren't overpowered with endless chakra, I assign characters a number of how much chakra they have and, with the above, I subtract the chakra used up by jutsu. I designated it as "Kra" for two reasons; A) I didn't want to write out Chakra each time and B) the idea was based off games and their HP/Mana/etc
Also 0.5kra is taken for each second/sentence spent water walking likewise with "tree walking" except for at 0.25kra.

Konbini:
Showed up early 2nd War, became popular midwar. Two kinds, shinobi frequent the Yuurei Konbini; they can buy standard equipment along with premade meals, paying bills, sending post and catching up on important events missed in a swift manner regardless of the time of day. No individual thing costs more than 1,000 ryō.
