ANBU Applications
_____________________________________________________ The ANBU, short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai [Special Assassination and Tactical Squad], take orders directly from the Kage, 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. They wear their mask even in their own village, for their identity as an ANBU agent is to be known only by the Kage and village elders.
There are apparently no true ranks within the ANBU, unlike within the regular forces. Team leadership and hierarchy seem to be based on merit and experience - or Hokage decision. There are, however, ANBU members known as Captains/Squad Leaders [Buntaichō], a position held in high regard, who have displayed impressive skill and are in a position to lead any other ANBU members without their authority coming into question; these Captaincy positions are limited.

Additional Role-Play sample:
The village of Konoha had come under a distinct sense of foreboding. There had been multiple preliminary attacks on the gates surrounding the township, an attempt at gauging the defenses it seemed, and the ANBU had been called in specifically to help handle the situation. While there had been no casualties, it remained only a matter of time before a real assault was launched, at which point the unknown enemy would be able to form appropriate stratagems to help in their success.
...that was, of course, if the ANBU failed in their current attempts at locating the source of threat.
Katsuo ran across the village rooftops as quickly as his legs could carry him. He moved with a swiftness and grace unlike most, and had begun slowly pulling away from his fellow ANBU comrades; a half-dozen of which followed in his wake. Pulling up short, stopping just shy of the edge of the building that he stood, Katsuo turned and looked behind him, waiting for the others to catch up.
"Come on, we don’t have much time," The young ninja said, irritation clear in his voice. It was one thing to take the time to prepare when you knew of an oncoming attack, but it was another to assume you had time from an enemy that held no schedule or indication of hostility. "Perhaps we should start where the last test of our defenses took place, Sanaka-san? I have the feeling it may have been a ploy by the enemy to attack furthest from their camp, in hopes of making us assume they were on our Eastern side."
The ANBU Captain nodded, coming to a leaping stop beside Katsuo. The older ninja stood straight and looked about, scanning the trees and countryside beyond the gate.
"I agree, Katsuo-kun," The ANBU Captain replied. He promptly turned and faced his team, indicating to each in turn to indicate who would be going where. "You two will head to the South; you two will head North; and Katsuo-san and I will go West. Be careful, and do not engage the enemy alone. Go."
There was a burst of affirmation, and each of the allocated pairs went their various ways, rushing from the rooftop and leaping out of sight.
Katsuo looked to the Captain, smiling beneath his mask despite himself. He enjoyed working alongside Sanaka-san, especially when the other man showed approval of efforts made.
"After you," The young ANBU said, grinning, as the Captain nodded curtly and began running Westward. Katsuo kept close pursuit, and the two passed beyond the border of the city, and entered into the countryside. The two would find the enemy, and they would ensure they didn’t have the chance to endanger the populace of Konoha.
This was what Katsuo vowed.
Not long after leaving the village, Katsuo and his leader soon found signs of what they sought. Within the trees surrounding Konoha, there were various footprints in the ground, indicating a varied group of individuals. Crouching down, Katsuo examined the evidence of passage, and soon narrowed his eyes... the tracks were fresh.
"Katsuo-kun, look out!"
Sanaka’s warning was all that was needed, as Katsuo leaped to his feet. Spinning, the young ANBU saw the Captain clutching at his shoulder, a kunai buried deep within the flesh; and without thought, Katsuo grasped for one of his own throwing knives, pulling the weapon clear from the sheath within his cloak. Looking toward the direction the kunai had come, Katsuo took in a deep breath as he saw four enemy ninja rushing toward the two ANBU... |
