I. INTRODUCTION
I've complied and explained a list of healers that are available in the game. This list will go in-depth into the ninjas, explaining which team composition the ninja would fit in and how you can farm for the ninjas. I've tried to make this list as newbie-friendly as possible too. Please comment in the thread if I'm missing out on any healers!

I did not include Azure Fang as she is one of the main character and her passive/chase can differ to one's preferences. If you want to know more about Azure Fang, you can check out this thread: http://forum.naruto.oasgames.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=50!

II. LIST OF NINJAS CAPABLE OF HEALING

Tsunade
You can get her for free at level 70. Her passive heals 2 ninjas from your team and cleanse 1 debuff from them. Unlike Shizune, she attacks every round as her standard is a taijutsu attack. She c*so act as an off-tank as her mystery heals her to full health and she inflict chaos from critical strikes. One of the best F2P healer in game.

She also have a elite instance at level 60 that drop her frags.

Kabuto
He doesn't attack at all as his standard heals two ninjas and cleanse 1 debuff from them. He is also one of the best healer in the game as he can spawn clones to take hits for your ninja. Does a tiny-weeny damage every turn to your ninjas which you won't even realise (4-8damage i think). You can easily farm for him in the exchange shop and he sometime drop fragments in survival trial.

Kabuto is great in a team of sound ninjas due to their curse mark passive. Curse mark basically increase the ninja's defence and resistance when damaged. Kabuto can damage your ninja for very little damage for a maximum of 2 time when his mystery is up. You can actually form a team of sound ninja in ranked battle.

Karin
She is mostly used for her extra chase. Her mystery deal poison and her passive heal 1 target and cleanse 1 debuff. Her standard is a taijutsu attack. She is great in team composition which uses ignite and poison. You can farm for her frags easily in elite instances, exchange shop and survival trial if you are lucky.

She combos off really well in a team composition with Sasuke and Hinata. You can deal up to 7 combos with acupuncture, ignitation and poison easily!

Kurenai
Her mystery gives a mass heal and shield. She also have two very useful passive which is 'Chakra Inhale Jutsu' and 'Mirror Genjutsu'. She absorb 50% of the chakra cost of the mystery that has an effect on your team (damage, status infliction etc), which means that your team can potentially gain 60 chakra in the second turn. Her mirror genjutsu reflect one debuff back to your opponent (nejis watch out!). She doesn't heal every turn but compensate it for her mass heal and shield to ONE ninja. She attacks every turn as well.

*shameless promoting here*
She is great in team composition that utilise shield such as one here: http://forum.naruto.oasgames.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4752

You can easily farm for her frags in elite instances, exchange shop and survival trial if you are lucky.

Sakura
Sakura is a pretty average healer. She only heal one ninja in your team which can be triggered twice if you use your mystery. Her mystery heals all your ninja and cleanse all debuff. Many people would rather use Karin/Kabuto/Tsunade as they cleanses debuff every turn while Sakura cleanses debuff every 3 turn. Many people are avoiding her as a better version of her is available in the later version of the game if I'm not wrong.

You can farm for her frags easily in elite instance.

Shizune
One of the weaker healers. She only heal ONE ninjas but cleanses TWO debuffs and her chase only inflict poison onto the target she's chasing. As most team only require one healing ninja, her passive 'Healing Tips' which increase healing to all your ninja by 25% isn't that useful as she is usually the only healer on the team if you uses her.

She is really good in a trololol team comp that I came up with though. Kabuto in the front line with Shizune, Karin and Azure Fang. Kabuto passive 'Gloomy Healing' receive 2x healing for himself, stacked with Shizune 'Healing Tips', Kabuto can heal for 4x the amount every turn!!1!!1 His clone can deal poison thanks to Azure Fang's passive if I'm correct. Basically you will be poisoning your opponent to death l0l.

You can only draw her from seal treasure.

Ino
One of the weaker healer because of how easily she is countered. Her mystery and chase inflict chaos to your opponent and her standard heals two of your ninjas and cleanse 1 debuffs from each of them. You will be screwing yourself up if you encounter team that has mirror genjutsu such as Kurenai or Scarlet Blaze.

However, she is great in a control team with Scarlet blaze with mirror genjutsu (you throw the debuff back to them if they have mirror genjutsu), and Shikamaru.

She's free and you can farm for her frags in elite instances if you ever want to five-star her.

Jigokudo
One of the strong healer when used correctly with the right ninjas but not really available and useful to F2P players as you can only pull him at Tendo Treasure at level 50. The reason why I said he would not be really useful to F2P players is because Jigokudo only really works well in a team of Pain.

He basically heal 2 ninja from your team and disperse ALL debuffs on them. He has a chase which can be triggered twice each round. His mystery revives a dead ninja from your team as well. His passive 'Soul Absorbtion' is a pretty meh passive. It gives the team 20 Chakra and recover 10% of Jigokudo health everytime a unit dies.

His other passive 'Rinnegan' gives other Pain a percentage of his Defense stats, making them more tanky towards taijutsu. Jigokudo is great in a team of Pain.

III. MOOD
Mood is something that influence two stats of a ninja. Basically, you can minus 5% of a stat to increase 5% and more of the other stat. For example, you can decrease 5% of the attack stats and increase 5% of ninjutsu stats. You can increase the percentage of the stats as you level up your mood. The decreased percentage stay the same, so it is defintely worth it to save up and invest in mood.

NINJUTSU VS LIFE
I'll be comparing this two stats as I believe that all healers should invest only in either one of these stats. Ninjutsu increase the amount healed by your ninja while life increases the life of your ninja, making it more tanky. The reason why I don't choose defence or resistance is because most lineup out there deal a mix of taijutsu and ninjutsu damage and increasing either one of them will still make you vulerable to the other. Therefore, increasing life would be the best way to deal with both ninjutsu and taijutsu damage.

First of all, I used Karin as a comparison. I took her and MC to fight a team of Kakashi to see how much she is healing without ninjutsu boost and with ninjutsu boost (5% boost) . Afterwards, I noted her life with and without boost (5% boost). I would like to clarify that I made sure life wasn't decrease to increase the boost of ninjutsu and I made sure I wasn't using the Pose of Duel passive which increases ninjutsu. I also made sure she was wearing the same equipment through out the experiment.

Without 5% ninjutsu boost:


With 5% ninjutsu boost:

An increase of 5 health in healing.

Without 5% life boost:


With 5% life boost:

An increase of 126 health.

The differences between both of them is rather huge. The reason why Karin was healing so little was because she wasn't healing so much in the first place. Thus, the small increase in heal. There would've been a bigger increase in the amount healed if I had used Kurenai or Sakura.

In my opinion, I would still have increased health for all healers because everyone knows that the longer the healer stay alive, the more they can heal. Also, dead healers do not heal.

The best mood would be to +life, -attack mainly because healers are there to heal, not to dps.

Even though I've recommended all healers to increase health for their mood, there are some which can have alternatives such as Kurenai. If you would enjoy having more shield, I recommend that you increase resistance and decrease attack for Kurenai. Her shield is based on her resistance and an increase in resistance would result in an increase in the amount of shield given.

Thanks to NaraShikamaru for suggesting this section!

IV. CONCLUSION
I hope this list give you an idea of what ninja to go for! I will be updating the list accordingly when new updates and ninjas are released!
