ANBU

ANBU - Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai

The ANBU (ANBU Black Ops "Literally meaning "Dark Side"), (Literally meaning "Special Assassination and Tactical Squad") take orders directly from the Leader, performing special high-level missions, such as assassinations and torture. The ANBU usually work in teams formed to the requirements of the mission, ensuring maximum success. The shinobi in the ANBU are hand-picked by the Kage; chosen for their individual capabilities and special skills. Age, gender, background, or previous rank bear no weight in this decision. Members can also leave the organization.
