Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai
Translated into English, it roughly means "Special Assassination and Tactical Squad". The name is a play on words, as in English acronyms like S.W.A.T. or S.H.I.E.L.D., where the two kanji used to abbreviate the group's full name constitute an actual word on their own.
ANBU, known in the Viz manga translation as "Black Ops", is a force of extremely talented shinobi who perform assassinations, protect the village from exceptional threats, conduct high-risk missions into enemy countries, and deal with extremely strong (S-Rank) ninja. They wear animal masks, speculated to be used in order to distinguish themselves from normal shinobi or to conceal their identities. Unique for most characters in Naruto, all ANBU appear to carry swords. The ANBU is an organization that serves under the direct command of their Kage.
Like ordinary ninja, ANBU members operate in squads of four; three ANBU members and a squad captain (analogous to the three Genin and one Jônin squad for a ninja team). ANBU are chosen at the Chûnin rank and progress their way up to ANBU captain. Captains are typically ninja at Jônin or Tokubetsu Jônin-level in assassination and tactics.
To Join:
Name: Self-explanitory
Age: Self-explanitory
Rank: Must be Chunin or higher
Gender: Self-explanitory
Specialty(s): ANything and everything your character may specialize in. [Such as long-range weapons, hand-to-hand, taijutsu, seals, genjutsu, etc.]
Extra: Anything else that may help the ANBU team you are placed on. [Such as summons, clans/bloodlines, cursed seals, bijuu, custom weapon(s), etc.]
