Leader of the ANBU?

[ParadoxRonin]

My thinking is that they should be at least Jounin level to join. There should be a limited number of slots. Villages can perform their own selection process to select ANBU members.

Nah, they shouldn't be at least jounin to join.

1. There could be some amazing and naturally talented chunin/genin that the Kage might want to recruit but he wouldn't be able to as their not jounin YET

2. Vreg said that people could stay genin forever if they wanted to, so the best player in the game could be a genin. Someone who wanted to be a ANBU would be forced to take the jounin test even if they would easily pass it.

I think the kage should be able to pick anyone no matter the rank, for their strength and/or their intelligence. There should just be a seperate ANBU test.

I think at least Chuunin, not for accuracy, but just because it'd be so much more difficult to separate good players from bad. Loads of people would just start the game and instantly try to join ANBU, making it ever harder for the villages. Though it's not my choice at the end of the day.

Oh, i was thinking that only the Kage and people he chooses would be able to recruit people. But yeah, if you can apply too then i agree you should be at least Chuunin.

I think Jonin i don't chuunin is a high enough rank.

It just depends how long it takes to get chuunin. To be honest, everyone that is going to remain in a village will likely become a chuunin. The only reason someone would stay a genin is if they weren't good enough to take the Chuunin exam, or if they became a rogue. This eliminates the idea that highly skilled genin should be able to become ANBU as they'd be able to simply take the chuunin exam and become and ANBU member. Rogue shinobi clearly wouldn't be able to become ANBU, as they are everything that the ANBU seeks to destroy.

correct your point is better. This is were hand selected shinobi come in.

I wanted to chip in on this say that traditionally S-Rank Chuunin are allowed to become ANBU, that there is an ANBU captain, and then there are other branches of the ANBU such as ROOT. In addition the ANBU captain answers to the Kage and a ROOT equivalent may or may not be a semi-legitimate organization that barely answers to the Kage. ie. they are picked by the Kage, but they answer to an ANBU captain to answers to the Kage.

Okay. Easy solution to what rank you should be before being able to apply for ANBU.
Simply put it to account age rather than character rank.
That way, if someone does choose the path of Eternal Genin, they have the chance to apply.
To make the ANBU even more exclusive, set this account age to 1 or 2 years.

Also, Kayleb, Danzo was not leader of the ANBU, he was leader of a group of selected ANBU he picked to be apart of "The Foundation" AKA "The Root." Some of his members were raised in this organisation but regardless, he was not leader of ANBU.
The Kage should be the one to select who joins ANBU and maybe the village council/elders if said Kage allows them that kind of power.

yup true the Anbu begins selected from kage or the elders of village like leebz say ^^

[Xassassin]

it is smart to only make the kage and council members pick, for some reason when you said account age I was going to say but kakashi became apart of anbu when he was just a child @Leebz but then I finally got what you meant. I personally just cant wait until I can become apart of the anbu and watch how everything unfolds.

[Devilthekiller]

As everyone says there might be tons of anbu in the game so there should be some requirements like you should be jonin or achieve a level  and do a secret mission hidden somewhere that takes you to Danzo(NPC).When you do the missions that Danzo gives you become a anbu.Also there must be an amount of anbu teams with a capacity and a leader who picks his own team.When the capacity is full they wont recruit anymore.The more missions you do for Danzo should make you a leader for an anbu team.

In my opinion I don't like the idea of having to apply to be in an ANBU, I feel like there should be like a list of all ninjas in a village, which shows their stats, feats etc. Only a a few of these ninjas with like true or high potential can be recruited as ANBU in a discrete manner by the kage/ANBU leader. We don't want just anyone that reach the requirements to just feel like they can apply, and just pass a few test, they must show they are worthy by in game. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say lol.

Exactly just high shinobi that truly have skill should be chosen by the kage themself.

[Shivraj]

Look, to make this as real as possible, just have the Kage and/or Village elders pick the ANBUs ._. They should have a list of missions done by each member of the village, as Nas suggested, they can choose..... ANBU needs to be unique, not just anyone who completes a few quests.... It's the choice of whoever runs the village, so yeah... We're trying to make this game as real as is possible while still making sure it's fun

[Saiyahito]

Damm, I wish I will become an ANBU, this is my purpose of creating this char. Anyway there are a lot of villages , wars will come, organizations will rise and unbalance the power of the realm. I say let them enter the ANBU but not as a Chunin, but as a Jounin. I mean c'mon we see a lot of jounins that became ANBU like kakashi and itachi.

And they got chosen.
They didnt just walk in and say: I want to join the ANBU!
I think being a JONIN should be the minimum requirement to even qualify for becoming an ANBU.
But maybe thats just me.

[Mars]

Most anbu will probably be jonins, but it should not be limited to that.

[BobHuckle3rd]

there should be anbu for sure. Never actually wanted to be in it, but it would be cool to have

[Reminance]

Oke true but the people who want to be ANBU must be experienced.

[joca94]

What if someone on purpose wants to be perma genin or chuunin or special jounin??? But they are actuallu stronger than all jounins? Ur points make no sense, Kage should pick a person, not looking at his rank, but at his power, Naruto is genin right? Isnt he stronger than most shinobi's? Jounins can basicly lick his shoes, its nonsense that only jounins can be ANBU, being a member of Anbu is determined by your talent and strenght, not by your rank, anyone can be jounin, but not everyone can be ANBU.
