What about Kakashi then? He is a jounin and still an active ninja. Also, when Kabuto went to the hospital to capture/kill Sasgay, Kakashi said that the ANBU Kabuto killed were prepared by himself. This leads me to think that ANBU are at a lower level than jounins. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
How does that make them a lower level.Kakashi could have just wanted to specially select the best to protect Sasuke instead of random Anbu members being sent out.That doesn&#39;t imply they are lower,they weren&#39;t taking orders from Kakashi,there orders came from the Hokage.
