D-rank

D-Rank is the second lowest ranking after E-Rank. It has several uses. It may be used for the classification of shinobi, specifically, Genin although this is uncommon as they are just simply refered by there actual rank. They are though the lowest ninja classification since E-Rank is for Academy Students who have not accomplished as a ninja yet.

The most common use of D-Rank is the level of missions. These missions are the easiest tasks to complete and are assigned to Genin. These are simply odd jobs such as:


 * Cleaning
 * Babysitting
 * Finding Missing Pets
 * Help with Shopping and Carrying

In fact, the first mission that Team Kakashi and Ebisu's Genin Team ever went on was chasing after the cat of a lady that ran away which was a D-Rank task. Naruto and Konohamaru commented on these as "not real missions". Team Kakashi is only known to go on one D-Rank mission. It is unknown how many tasks in this category did Ebisu's team complete. They did at least one. However, Tsunade gives them another D-Rank task. No information is known about this mission.

Another use of D-Rank is ranking of techniques. There are several techniques in this category. In this rank are the lowest level of offensive techniques excluding One Thousand Years of Death which is offensive however an E-Rank technique. These are Genin level techniques. Examples are:


 * Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique/Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
 * Leaf Gale
