B-rank

B-Rank is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by C-Rank and followed by A-Rank. It is typically used when classifying jutsu intended for ninja of the Jonin or Chunin level. B-Rank jutsu are typically useful and can be learned relatively easily with enough time.

There are also B-Rank missions. These missions are usually assigned to Jonin or Chunin. The first B-Rank mission seen in the series was Team 7's protection of Tazuna. It was originally meant to be a C-Rank escort mission, but was elevated to B-Rank after Tazuna revealed that Gato was trying to have him killed. The other known example of a B-Rank mission is seen during Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, where Team 7 is given the task of escorting a famous actress.
