The Anbu, short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai which also means, 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. Members can be relieved from the Anbu by the Hokage and reassigned elsewhere, in Kakashi's case, he was reassigned by Hiruzen Sarutobi from the Anbu to the regular forces as a jōnin leader. 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.
Most Anbu predominately wear some kind of mask to conceal their identities. Konoha Anbu predominantly wear animal-styled porcelain masks, with some opting for more menacing looking creatures. They also have standard uniforms which, for Konoha Anbu, consist of black clothing, a grey flak jacket, metal arm guards and gloves, ninja sandals with spikes for travelling into mountainous regions, three ninja pouches on their back-waist and a signature spiral tattoo on their shoulder. Some Konoha Anbu wear black cloaks over their standard uniforms, and squad leaders may wear white cloaks. Most of them carry a sword, which is usually strapped to their backs.
Konoha Anbu are under direct control of the Hokage, and therefore, cannot be arrested by the regular police forces without a warrant. They protect the village from exceptional threats, conduct high-risk missions into enemy territory, and deal with extremely strong ninja. They are also responsible for carrying out assassinations, tracking, surveillance, and missions requiring specially trained ninja. Some Anbu serve as interrogators that probe the minds of enemy ninja to learn information valuable to the village. If an Anbu is mortally wounded in battle, they are required to destroy their bodies to prevent any information from getting into enemy hands.
Uzumaki Naruto, Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi named Kurama, son of the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, also known as the Yellow Flash, and Uzumaki Kushina, the Red Hot Habanero. Although no one knows who his parents are, some people can take a guess because of his looks and personality.
The young blonde was small for his age, 13 almost 14, being 147.5 cm which is a height of 4'10". He had his father's golden blonde, spiky hair and his narrow blue eyes and slightly tanned skin. He wore an orange tracksuit with blue on the upper shoulders area as well as around the waist, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, a red Uzumaki swirl crest on the back, a large white collar, orange pants with a shuriken holster attached to his right knee (due to being right-handed), blue sandals, and a blue forehead protector that was given to him by Iruka after he graduated from the Academy. Naruto would usually wear a black T-shirt inside his tracksuit, but sometimes wore armour underneath his clothing. He also donned green goggles that he wore on his forehead sometimes.
Naruto has always struggled to learn at the Academy because of the teachers rejecting him because of his tenant that inhabits his body. He always thought that if he did some attention grabbing, he would get acknowledged by the villagers. The shinobi's seemed to respect them, even when he pranked them, they smiled at him. He didnt understand why, he never understood the deeper meanings behind the respected smiles.
"Naruto-kun," The blonde looked up from his seat, looking at the aged Hokage. He noticed how many wrinkles were lined in his face, the way his old and hardened eyes seem to soften once they landed upon himself. He always thought that it was because he was close to him, but there was another reason. Naruto reminded his Jiji of someone, someone important who did some things that created history.
"Naruto-kun," The Hokage, whose name was Sarutobi Hiruzen, repeated, smiling softly at him, "do you know why you are here?"
Naruto didnt know why. His Genin Exam was in a couple hours because it would be a half day at the Academy for the exams. He wouldnt go to the Academy until 9 o'clock in the morning, right now it was 4 o'clock in the morning and he didnt know why his Jiji would be up at this time. He couldnt sleep because of all the excitement running through his body. When it seemed like his excitement ran out, a shinobi with a mask, that looked like a frog, appeared in his room in a poof of smoke. He didnt freak out, this usually happens. Plus, he seems to know when they come. It was weird, but he can like feel when someone is coming. He asked his Jiji about this, but he said it was like a ninja's sixth sense.
Naruto didnt understand why his Jiji didnt understand what he was asking. When he elaborated on what he meant, his Jiji just said the same thing again. It was like his Jiji didnt understand him, like he was talking nonsense.
"Nuh-huh, I dont know why I'm here, Jiji." He swung his legs back and forth underneath the chair, his hands supporting him on both sides of the chair as he leaned forward in his seat. He didnt like it when he couldnt touch the floor when he was sitting, it just reminded him of how short he was. He wished he could grow taller, taller than that teme, Sasuke.
The Hokage sighed and lifted his pipe slowly to his mouth, "Well, Naruto-kun, you have potential, but it is so deep and hidden inside of you that it cant shine through." Naruto smiled, his teeth showing.
"Really? I knew I was awesome!" He exclaimed, becoming happy at the idea of him having a whole bunch of potential.
Sarutobi laughed lightly, his laughs sounding more like muffled wheezes, "That you are, Naruto-kun." He paused, trying to find the right words to phrase his next question. He knew the boy was ready to become something more, he just didnt want it to get to his head, "Would you like to become a special shinobi who only reports to me?"
Naruto scrunched up his nose, obviously trying to understand what his Jiji meant. Become a special ninja? Like those shinobi with the masks? He didnt really like wearing masks but they were so cool!
"Jiji," Naruto paused, thinking of a question, "why do you want me to become one of those guys who wear a mask? Why not Sasuke-teme? He's better than me at everything." Naruto grumbled with a frown on his face as he crossed his arms over his chest. But, he did have to admit that Sasuke was better than him at mostly everything.
"Because, Naruto-kun," Sarutobi said, beginning to write on a piece of paper, "I want you to be under my command, not some Uchiha who is hell-bent on revenge. If he is focused on revenge, he will want to work alone and not with his teammates. He will seek for power, he will not want to earn it through hard work. He seeks to be respected, not earn the respect." He finished, writing on another piece of paper without looking up. He knew that Naruto will rethink his view on his rival. It just depends on how he will think about it.
Naruto hummed, biting his lip. He didnt know that Sasuke was under the impression of getting revenge on his brother. He frowned, rubbing the back of his head unconsiously reminding Sarutobi of his father, Namikaze Minato.
Sarutobi noticed that Naruto seemed to be stuck, "Here," He said, interupting Naruto from his thoughts, "what if I have 2 of your classmates and you become a team?"
Naruto tilted his head to the side, his naturally narrow eyes, that he inherited from his father, widened a bit, "A team? For what?"
"Anbu."
