Seems to me that it's either a ranking (e.g. a "5" in ninjutsu means they use some of the highest-tier or S-rank jutsu) or a statistic group("5" in ninjutsu means you're in the 5% strongest Ninjutsu masters or something like that).

Considering the level of ninja over the series, from something like Juubi Jinchuriki all the way to Genin, a 5 point system, even if it's a logarithmic one (e.g a "2" is 10x a "1", a "3" is 100x a "1") doesn't really make sense.
