Dear Ninja,
As of today, we are introducing two of the most anticipated features for the game's world!
ANBU stands for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊) which means Special Assassination and Tactical Squad.
They are elite ninja from the village, who serve their Kage by hunting down ninja in the bingo book deemed a threat by their village.
Each village will have an ANBU organization, which will serve identical purpose and follow similar structure.
Leaf Sand
Squads
Each ANBU consists of squads of up to 8 members. However, on assassination missions, they will operate in 2 teams of 4, with their Kage appointed squad leaders.
While not enforced, it is recommended that members of the same squad wear the same masks to differentiate themselves instantly. Individual
ANBU members should not go alone on killing rampages, and should always do so on the command of squad leaders or Kage.
Assassinations
The goal of each ANBU is to clear the Bingo Book.
ANBU operations should be stealthy. They should as little attention when leaving their village, so as not to be tailed or joined by non-ANBU members. This is to ensure that the enemy is not aware of an assassination, and to keep roleplay concentrated on ANBU only.
Missing Ninja and enemy village ninja with zero bounty should not be targeted by ANBU.
ANBU are allowed to kill at any location. This includes outside hospitals. Remember - Ninja with bounty are considered criminals.
Membership
The Kage of each village chooses squad leaders anytime they want, to a healthy amount. Though it is recommended to keep membership exclusive to facilitate better roleplay.
The requirement for ANBU is level 30, atleast Genin rank.
Squad leaders are incharge of choosing their members, and eventual promotions if there is opportunity to expand.
While not wearing ANBU uniform (off duty), members retain their normal ninja rankings eg. Genin, Chunin, Jonin
Members are not required to keep their identities a secret. However, they may choose to, or roleplay as such.
ANBU members should be retired due to inactivity or long service to make way for new players.
Looking forward to seeing you in-game!
Regards,
Rory
