Has he even been reinstated as a Konoha-nin?

If he was, wouldn't it make sense to give him a superior "officer" rank so to speak? It would allow him a degree of command over lower ranked shinobi, and some form of salary?

He's Naruto's personal agent more than anything really, and that probably places him way above the normal chain of command anyway. He doesn't need to have an actual rank.
