Hello there! :) I'm new to the site and have a couple of ANBU questions. My Naruto knowledge consists solely of Cartoon Network's releases, so I'm hoping that someone who's read and/or seen more can help me out.

My questions concern the ANBU and their clothing. These may sound like "Well, Duh!" questions but they're things I'm unclear on, so here it goes:

1) Are ANBU members only "on call" or do they also have duty shifts? (i.e. are there always a couple around keeping an eye on the Hokage or only during special occassions?)

2) My understanding has always been that ANBU identities are kept completely secret, even from ninjas in their own village. So, when they're "off duty" would it be logical to assume they wear standard ninja attire? (As opposed to their ANBU outfit, sans mask?)

3) Or is it that they're only concerned with being recognized when they're actually on a mission? Thus, would they openly wear their ANBU attire (sans mask) around town when "off duty"?

4) I know that the ANBU masks are supposed to represent the different zodiac animals - does that mean there are only 12 ANBU at a given time? Or do they simply "double up" on masks (exact replicas)? Or is it possible that there are different masks that represent the same animal?

5) I found this picture on photobucket:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h280/gummiship/ANBU5.jpg
Are these factual representations based on the manga/anime or just fan art?

Sorry...that turned out longer than I originally planned. I hope these questions aren't too complicated for this part of the forum, and that I've made them clear and consise. Thank you in advance for any and all help!

1: We don't know, but presumably, shifts.
2: Yes.
3: No.
4: Presumably, there are more than 12.
5: It's fanart. There may be some designs from the show on there but the set number of designs is purely based on Kishimoto and Studio Pierrot's whim.

Thank you very much for the quick response! Your answers are a huge help. :D

As a side question, does anyone know of a source (online or otherwise) that has depictions/scans/screencaps of all the different ANBU masks used in the series &/or in the manga?

Thank you, again!

There isn't such a place. The closest you'll find is searching through the Chuunin exam arcs. Be it through manga or anime.

Yeah, I figured that was the case, especially since I've been searching for the past few days with no luck. But I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. So, I guess now I've got a new project - hunt down all of the ANBU masks. :D Thank you again for all the help!

so whats the deal with the key?

does the key have the other 5 tails of the kyubi within it? so does naruto have the whole of the 9 tails within him??

and whats the meaning behind the yin yang chakra stuff?? does that mean if he combines it that when he goes kyuubi it won't hurt him anymore??

and when kakashi said that naruto had 2 times more chakra than him and possibly 100 more at full does that mean with the whole of the 9 tails? or just the 4 tails??

and why does naruto need someone to supress the kyubi? why can't he just do tajuu kage bunshin when he goes 3 tails to make him normal level again??

So far, we only know that the key was created to strengthen or loosen Naruto's seal. Anything beyond that has yet to be revealed.

There hasn't been an explanation on what Yin and Yang chakra is yet.

Just a quick correction. In the volume release of that chapter, Kishi rewrote Kakashi's sentence and had him state Naruto had 4 times as much chakra as him. Concerning your question; I assume he meant using an excessive amount, but not all of it.

Naruto needs Yamato to control Kyuubi because he loses his mind in that form.

Are manga questions a-okay? Well, Juugo said he went to Oro to be able to 'control' his impulses. I'm not sure but it either said that the curse seal was made from his blood? What was it? And does that mean that Juugo has a curse seal, and if he does, is it effective even if he has murderous rampages?


Another thing that has completely eluded (probably just my lack of thinking) but when people go 'poof' (sorry, I had to write that) is it that they are running away extremely fast or is it a jutsu that is teleportation? They've never shown any seals for when they do that, and they don't say anything either. And is it just an elementary jutsu that all shinobis learn at some point?

Juugo is the origin of the curse seal. It was his enzymes that cultivated what Sasuke, the Sound Five, and various others use. Juugo doesn't have the curse seal, he IS the curse seal. His body mutates when he wants it to, and Orochimaru isolated and cultivated that ability into use for the CS.

It's Shunshin. Body Flicker, they move at speeds beyond the eye's ability to usually follow. Unless it's a summoning, in which case, they're crossing time and space to get back to their own place. Teleportation.

Handsigns aren't needed because you don't need them to run really fast.

Danzou is an old war hawk who felt that the 3rd Hokage was not suited for leadership of Konoha & the same for the 5th Hokage. That the village may be better off w/ him as Hokage. Created/controls ROOT a division of ANBU. He's a respected/influenced elder of Konoha. But does he hold any official position w/in the ruling council of Konoha? And is ROOT also a official position w/in Konoha protected forces as ANBU & the military corps?

Root was disbanded and integrated into the rest of the ANBU. All ANBU fall under the command of the Hokage, but former members of Root still follow Danzo's orders out of loyalty.

Anything regarding the most recent chapter is not allowed outside of the Manga section. Unless you want to wait a week and a half, don't bother asking here.

I have a question

so on the stats it shows latent potential and luck...

why are those on here?

especially when in kakashi's case his total ability is higher than his latent potential... so why would he be like that?

Latent potential is how much they can grow. Kakashi's latent potential is low because he's hit his prime. He can't really grow anymore.

Luck is...how lucky they are.

luck is retarded lol

but wait why wouldn't his potential be the same as his total?

if it means how much he can grow then why is iit 4? if he is at 5 then he shouldn't be able to grow anymore so it would be at 0 right?

but i saw hinata's i think with TA 2 and PA 2 so would that mean she'd grow to TA 4?

think of kakashi's potential as going down cause he hit his prime, so thats probably why its lower and not the same

no it wouldn't be at zero cause that might mean that his total will go down to 0 (which probably can't happen in his case)

and luck can play an important role despite what you think, like if the person has a good move but its really hard to hit his enemy, to hit his enemy, some lucky might be involved or something like surviving against an enemy might require some luck

anyways thats just what i think, i have no clue if its right or not
