Notes: Sorry to start out with notes by the way, this is a story that has been bouncing around the back of my head for quite
some time now, it completely ruined the furniture. Anyway, it's kinda serious and I'm not sure if people will like it but
give it a try and review it and tell me what you think. Its supposed to bring across the idea of a team more heavily and
kinda add a slightly military feel to it since I've always seen the ANBU as a sort of para-military group.

Introduction: Reville

"In the Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai, or the ANBU, you have no feelings, no emotions, you are not a human, you are not yourself.
You are a weapon, to kill and save, to attack and to defend. You must never think of anything but the mission, and your team. You
in yourself are nothing, the team, everything, the mission foremost beyond even that. You are highly specialized, infinitely trained and
intricately bonded with your fellow team members, and you must be capable of doing things deemed impossible by lesser men. If you
fail, it is not only you who will suffer the consequences. Look around, look at this large beautiful village we know as Konohagakure,
the Hidden Village of the Leaves, look at every last man, woman and child, memorize them, love them, because these are the people
for whom you will fight. These are the people whom you will defend within inches of your own life, these are the people whom you
will fight for without restraint, without thought, this entire village is depending on you to accomplish your mission. Look at the children,
they will grow without knowing tear, or war, or famine, and you will be the cause. Look at the women, they will live in leisure, with
happy children, and in joy, and you will be the cause. Look at the men, wasting away thier lives in meaningless escapades, they will
fulfill thier dreams, live to become successful, raise the next generation, and you will be the cause. But if you fail, children will be torn
from thier mother's arms, women, raped in the streets, foolish men, living only for themselves, slain in the street like dogs. But you will
prevent that, in the glorious tradition of the ANBU, you will prevent that, with all of the strength in your weak and useless forms, you
will prevent it, without cease, without rest, and without fear. Remember this my ANBU, other teams have the luxury of botching an
important mission, all that Konoha loses is monetary, pittance for each, but you, if you fail, it is one more child who must live without
knowing his parents, one more woman who is made a widow, one more man who is slain. If you fail a mission, you fail Konoha, you
fail your home, you fail everyone you hold dear. So I tell you now ANBU, you will be the tip of the spear, the most vigilant, the most
powerful, the most dedicated, not because you choose to, though that may be the case, but simply because it is your duty. Your duty
to your countrymen, your duty to your Hokage, your duty to your home. For four generations, our ANBU have fallen on the field of
battle, valiently, defending all we hold dear, the promise made and sealed in the blood of the valient, you who step up now, to claim
this bold heritage of heroes, will be remembered forever as heroes, and as we die in battle, may we die with our ideals correct. Your
team, your mission, then yourself. Die with these words on your lips my ANBU, die with pride knowing that you, unlike so many, and
like too few, have chosen to honor your home with the blood of a hero, for the mighty tree of Konoha may be large as the Earth itself,
but it will still need to be sustained through the blood, sweat, and tears of the brave. I am honored to serve alongside you, I know you
will live up marvelously to the ancient promise with your forebears, the promise made and sealed in blood. Thank you my soldiers, thank
you in advance from every man, woman, and child within these walls, thank you for being the best, and thank you for chosing to use your
abilities to not further your own selfish goals and intents, but to save and love, to help and assist, you are the best Konoha has. I honor each
and every one of you. I now stand here and look down at you all, some faces new, some old, but know this, as long as there is a single drop
of brave blood in Konoha, the ANBU will exist, in essence, the ANBU is the combined fighting spirit of Konoha, the soul of the greatest
of ninja villages rests with you, do not disappoint it, and it will not disappoint you."
