"ANBU is a subset of shinobi whose specific skills, and inclinations, give them the capabilities of handling the dirtiest jobs we get from clients. It's very very rare that a mission will be turned down, so we get all kinds. Stuff anywhere from 'weed this garden' to 'protect the caravan' or 'impersonate this person' all the way up to 'murder all those kids in that orphanage because I want to buy that land'. The missions get ranked, yeah? And stuff like weeding, and such, gets given to brand new shinobi--it's a teamwork exercise, mainly, but they get paid a little. Stuff like the orphanage gets routed to ANBU, ANBU looks over the mission specs and assigns the agents who'd be best for the mission. And it gets done."
Ino twirled a bit. "Or say a dad really don't like his daughter's boyfriend--if he pays, the dad can hire ANBU to kill the man but make it look like suicide. Dad did a lot of those missions."
