D-rank

D-Rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by E-Rank and followed by C-Rank. It is typically used when classifying jutsu intended for ninja of the Genin level. D-Rank jutsu are all essential ones that a ninja learns before and after leaving the Ninja Academy.

There are also D-Rank missions, the lowest classification a mission can have. These missions are usually assigned to Genin. Naruto Uzumaki describes D-Rank missions as not being actual missions as they deal with tasks as simple as finding missing pets and weeding a garden. D-rank missions are paid between 5,000 and 50,000 ryō.
