Upon character creation you can assign a village to your character. Later in the game, you can leave a village and stay villageless or even join a different village. More information on villages can be found here.

What is the difference between a clan and an organisation?
A clan is a group of people in a village who are related by blood and all bear the same last name. An organisation may consist of anyone, even if they have different backgrounds, as long as they have similar goals. Each clan may have distinct family features and core values while an organisation may have any purpose, whether it be good or bad.

What happens when a clan leader leaves his clan, gets killed or is offline for a long period of time?
The next highest in rank will be the new leader. Also, anyone can leave their clan at any point, they will, however, keep their last name and not be able to join a different clan. A clan member that has left or been banished can still be recruited again by their clan.

How can one be a rogue ninja?
To become a rogue ninja one should cut his ties with their village. That is to say, a rogue ninja can be a vicious criminal or simply a wandering ninja who abandoned their village with either good or evil purpose.

Will becoming rogue before reaching the rank of Jonin prohibit you from getting two chakra natures if and when you do become Jonin?
Becoming a rogue ninja before you reach the official rank of Jonin will not prohibit you from getting your second chakra nature.

Can a ninja who became rogue at genin level become chunin/jonin?
Once you become a rogue ninja you are stuck with that official title. Exams are required for you to gain the newer, better title and since you are a rogue you may not take the exam inside a village.
Note: As a rogue ninja, your ELO may still rise much higher above Genin, but you will not become Jonin.

Will players have the opportunity to become a "cop" ninja?
There will be a police force for players to fulfill their lifelong dream. There will be NPC police, but this is dependent on the amount of player police. If there are no player police on, there will be more NPC police, and if there are enough player police online and playing then there will be no NPC police.

What will the ranking system be like and how will it work?
The ranking system will be based off of ELO. As you play SLO, your ELO will change accordingly whenever you defeat someone or are defeated. When your ELO reaches a certain amount, if you are not a rogue ninja, you will be asked to take an exam. Upon passing the exam you will be given a new rank: Genin→Chunin, and Chunin→Jonin.

Will the Monk, Samurai and Drunken Fist Taijutsu village still be in the game?
Maybe a samurai village, but this will be introduced later. Maybe.
