ANBU rank
The databooks give ANBU as a rank and places it between Jōnin and Kage. Perhaps this should be reflected in the article. --ShounenSuki 13:16, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Just because the data book shows ANBU as a rank doesn't mean it is. As you progress through the Naruto time line you come to find that ANBU is an elite organization not unlike the US Central Intelligence Agency or James Bond's MI6. Caniplease 19:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Additions
I do believe that this page could use a bit more in the descriptive sense of each rank. I have a few ideas however I was not able to edit this page. Caniplease 19:26, 23 November 2008 (UTC)


 * This page is just a organizational page that includes a small summary. The ranks are explained in far more detail in their own articles. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Nov 23, 2008 @ 23:03 (UTC)

Clarification, please?
I already know this, but for the love of god, can some big cheese on this wiki please say that Sannin isn't a rank to get all these random people to stop putting up Sannin as a rank?--Marioscout (talk) 18:23, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It was just one person, and I have already told him that Sanin isen't a rank. Jacce | Talk 18:25, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Village Head
Should a section be added for villages heads, to cover non-five Kage village leaders? 71.178.110.127 (talk) 12:55, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, because village head is not a ninja rank. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Aug 8, 2009 @ 21:29 (UTC)

Hmm, it seems odd for those who aren't jonin but aren't of one of the kage-villages to not have a listing. We do have a village head page. 205.188.116.140 (talk) 11:57, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Property:Ninja Rank
Property: Ninja rank, Village head- should this be on or shouldn't it? I think it should. Orochimaru, Hanzo, etc.. It is clearly a rank in the organizational structure of their villages, and the only rank some characters have. It doesn't need to be on Konoha's chart to be a rank, it just needs to be an official position which ninja have. ZeroSD (talk) 16:01, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say no. Except for the Kage, village heads don't hold ranks. In the databooks, all non-Kage village heads, e.g. Hanzō and Pain, get a "--" for their ranks.
 * Village Head is an occupation or classification, not a rank. --ShounenSuki (talk 16:56, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * An occupation of "in charge of X" (X being everyone in the village in this case) is pretty much the exact definition of rank. What you're saying is they don't have titles, but that they are in charge means they have rank by the meaning of the word. ZeroSD (talk) 12:11, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm saying they don't have a rank. Village head is a title.
 * Let me explain with an example:
 * The leader of most countries don't hold a military rank, even if they are the direct leader of the country's military forces. Even if these leaders had a history in the military, they are usually not in active duty and thus hold no rank in relation to their position as leader. This is the case with the village heads of the smaller villages.
 * However, in some countries, the leader of the country is bestowed an honorary military rank like Supreme Commander or something similar. This is the case with the Kage of the Five Great Villages. --ShounenSuki (talk 12:33, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
