C-rank

C-rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by D-rank and followed by B-rank. It is typically used when classifying jutsu intended for ninja of the Chūnin level. C-rank jutsu are often one of the first jutsu a ninja will learn that require some amount of training.

There are also C-rank missions. These missions are usually assigned to Chūnin, or in some cases, Genin. Assignments include bodyguard duty and hunting wild animals, all of which will likely pose some risk to the ninja. The only known example of a C-Rank mission was Team 7's assignment to escort Tazuna to the Land of Waves. After it was discovered that Tazuna had assassins after him the mission was elevated to B-rank. C-rank missions pay between 30,000 and 100,000 ryō.

C-Rank is also for Missing-Nin. These ninja are usually not much threat.
