◀ Functionality
Operating directly beneath the Kage, ANBU are considered a village's elite sect of shinobi. Because of this, they possess authority over all lesser ranks of ninja, making them vital assets during times of chaos and or confusion. Their function extends well beyond this, however. While they are used as a village's policing force, they also serve the village's needs for high-profile assassinations on foreign soil.▶ Being the right arm of their Kage, ANBU are the only shinobi eligible for high-profile Kage Missions. These are given directly from their user, and are generally very delicate in the sense that failure is not an option. On top of standard mission rewards, successfully completing a Kage Mission will yield a considerable bonus.
▶ It should be noted that Kage Missions must be interactive missions involving another village with actual Player Characters, not NPC's.
▶ Victims of these assassinations vary, all the way from troublesome Jounin to Kages, and even Daimyo. They are also used to stir and incite revolutions in small territories for governmental reasons, such as usurping a current ruler for the village to seat someone more to their tastes. while these missions are incredibly rare, they do happen. Successfully completing them yields a wealth of rewards for the participating members, including EXP and Ryou.
▶ ANBU are the first line of defense and the executioners of any who dare oppose their village. In any event that their village is under attack, and the ANBU participates - and survives - they will receive a bonus reward, which stacks per invading Player Character kill that the ANBU achieves.
The ANBU work directly under the leadership of the Kage, and act as their personal attack and defense force. This specialized ninja battalion generally work in groups of four to five. They are responsible for assassinations and missions requiring highly trained ninjas. In the end, it is up to the Kage's discretion to use the force as they see fit. Simply because you are skilled does not mean you can be an ANBU - you have to possess a specific mindset that aligns with your leader.
