mission rank

In Naruto,
there are many different rankings for missions. The higher the rank you
are, the more dangerous and higher level the mission is. Below is a
list of the different levels.


Rank S:
These missions may not always be the most dangerous but only ANBU
members or the Kage participates in them. It is very unlikely anyone of
a lower rank would be part of these missions.


Rank A:
This type of mission is the most dangerous. Ninjas
ranked Jounin or higher are usually assigned to these missions. Very
often, if things are very bad you will see a Kage participating.
Generally you will not find a ninja of lower rank than Jounin in these
types of missions unless it is absolutely necessary. Rank A missions
are extremely dangerous and usually there is a death or severe injury
as a result of it.


Rank B:
Missions B ranked are not as tough as A ranked
missions. The difficulty is still pretty high. Most B ranked missions
involve retrieving important documents or protecting someone and taking
them to a certain location. Mostly Jounin or Chuunin ranked ninjas
perform these types of missions.


Rank C:
These types of missions are generally performed by
Chuunins. At times you will even see skilled Genins performing missions
C ranked. Most C ranked missions involve protecting an elderly or
sending/retrieving a document.


Rank D:
D ranked missions are the lowest ranked. These
missions are almost all performed by Genins. These missions usually are
tedious work or basically useless work. Some missions include: saving
an animal, taking out the garbage, walking an animal, or other
pointless and boring work. Genins who want to be Chuunins must complete
8 of these missions.
