You have Jounin –Chunni and Genin. This is Konoha main line of military command, genin superiors are Chunin, and Jounin; Chunin superiors are Jounnin.

ANBU doesn’t have that, or that we know of, once a Chunin is appointed as ANBU, he no longer reports to Jounnin, he will only report to Hokage and Captains of ANBU squad. But his ranks as a Ninja it is still there, but been in ANBU this rank doesn’t have any meaning whatsoever.

Please note that this is not a fact from Manga or Databook, I’m trying to explain How ANBU falls in based around all the facts we have, for all we know, ANBU could have their own Ranking System from Chunin to Jounin to special Jounin, independent of Konoha regular Ranks.
