Another thing is, there are ninja like C, who are high-ranking but don't really have much offensive power. In-universe, they are supposed to be respectable since their work can also be important, but as the plot goes, they are also completely sidelined and don't even seem necessary. Same goes for other specialized non-combat ninja, or Anbu members.
