Just about everyone in Naruto is a ninja, with the show revolving around their training and missions. The main characters make their livings serving their villages as shinobi. If they had to abandon their careers, they would all be able to transition to different career paths that would suit them just as well.

The characters could choose to enter into another career field or pioneer a new field in their village. Konoha is full of jobs, many of which go unexplored. The world of Naruto has many options for careers. Though the story mostly covers the main characters' lives as ninja, they could have chosen a different career path.

12 Shino As A Bee Keeper

Ino seems to enjoy being somewhat fashionable. Anything in the beauty industry would suit her. She would do well working as a fashion designer, jeweler, or hairstylist.

Her family owns a flower shop, so she has experience working with them. As a medical ninja, she is also well versed in medicinal herbs. Her knowledge of plants would help her understand how to blend different scents together. She could launch her own perfume line, selling her own signature scents.

If he chose to step down as a ninja, he could continue working as an instructor. His off-beat humor and ability to relate to those around him would serve him well in the classroom. He could help teach an entire generation of Konoha youths.
