Non-Player Character (NPC) are, in general, any character (human or otherwise) in a role-playing game that is not controlled by someone playing the game.

In a Ninja Academy, the game master or equivalent (the person running the role play) will generally act/speak the parts of all NPCs. These NPCs can range anywhere from an Jounin teacher the players talk to in order to receive a mission to the mysterious woman who follows your team along for her own unknown reasons only to backstab you right when you were starting to trust her. It's up to the GM.

Players are allowed to control NPC's that are directly related to their own creations (such as clan members or character's parents) but are not allowed to reap any kind of benefits from these characters. This includes, but is not limited too, training bonuses.
