Now anybody that ever had any merit just bailed on that dumbass group.....aside from kakashi and itachi what powerful figures has ANBU churned out? They really dont even get that seeing as how both those guys were prodigies anyways >_>
What if all those uchiha got slaughtered outside of the village? It would be worse than it is now with everybody and their grandma havin a freakin sharingan.....
Actually, a lot of the ANBU we have seen are quite strong. They just seem weak due to how strong their opponents are. If it wasn't for the Mizukage, her right-hand man would have been toast. If madara couldn't freaking teleport or nonchalantly chop off his arm, he would have been toast. Both of Danzo's henchmen seem to be extremely powerful and useful, they just seem weak because they are going up against a Kage and an immortal.

Also, the ANBU fighting Pain seemed very strong too. They were just going up against immortal duplicating dogs...
