I wonder about that. hmmmm Kakashi seems to be very close to them, he knew Yamato by his name, heck, sometimes I asked myself if Kakashi really left ANBU to beggin with . But, I don’t think the secrecy they go trough is something bigger than normal Ninjas do, the only thing I see is that the Job they do are more specific and unique:
Clenaers Interrogation Special Investigation Assasinations. Is very close to what SWAT is really, they are the same as the police but more specialized. What I do wonder if the Tattoo is a real one or just body paint.

the ANBU has appeared to be pretty weak thus far, I mean when they turned up during the Oro/Sandaime fight, they basically jumped into a net and got themselves burnt... pretty disappointing for an elite squad, specialised in whatever they were supposed to do.
Their only saving grace is that they had members like Itachi/Jiraiya/Kakashi...etc to boost their reputation, so people don't actually think that they are that lousy. |

but seriously, i agree. ANBU is supposed to be special ops, the elite ninjas of the village, yet theyre weak compared to other jounins. well i guess the captains or ex-captains are the only strong ones. i guess thats why tsunade created the nijyuu shotai. and about kakashi still in ANBU...i think thats plausible, because he assigned ANBU to guard sasuke when he ws in the hospital. unless he told the sandaime about it and the sandaime ordered them there. but if i remember correctly, kakashi said that he put ANBU there. so he had the power to give them an order.

does the fact that kakashi was able to give the anbu comman mean that they are not higher than jounin.?
I also think that kakashi might still be anbu, i think that sandaime ordered him out of anbu to lead team sasuke... i don't know if it was stated in the manga also but it was pointed out that the sandaime was trying to keep the the same team chemestry that had been used in previous generations. and kakashi was best leader...

so...hmmm. maybe because he was just a respected ANBU leader/squad captain that he can pull some strings and have ANBU follow his "orders". |

Wow I cant believe no one got the point of sphiro's futile exercise on Morino Ibiki . Why was he trying to prove Ibiki is a Special Jonin not an Anbu .
Well that means ANBU is NOT a Rank and his insulting signature is thrown right back at him Itachi's rank is/was Chunin when he massacred his clan

Actually it's a little more complicated than that I think.
When they are on the field Anbu are undercover : they hide their faces, they use fake name and they aren't under their official military ranks. On Anbu mission Itachi wasn't a Chuunin or rather it was irrelevant. He was the head of his squad regardless of the regular military ranks of his subbordinates. Ibiki Morino is in the same case. He's the head of the Anbu Torture & Interrogation department but as long as he's not on the field he's not undercover and thus keeps his military rank, ie Special Jounin. |
