Forum:ANBU as rank

It has come to my attention that ANBU is considered a real rank here. I'd really like this point of view to be changed. In all three the databooks, ANBU is considered a rank. Even in the third databook, Yamato and Sai are given the rank of ANBU, as can be seen here and here. --ShounenSuki 20:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC). Sai is in ANBU root so he isn't a ANBU under control by the hokage. ANBU is a rank of great skill.
