no i believe anbu and the police corps are two different groups
otherwise you'd see sasuke's dad wearing a mask, and you'd see anbu guys using the shuriken/uchiha symbol thing
i believe the anbu are used more for international affairs, while the police corps are for internal affairs
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
i would agree assert. the ANBU are sent after rogue ninja, no matter where they go and probably against high level enemy ninja in the 'bingo' book.
the polic corps is probably for local ninja matters.
Now about the chapter. itachi has a mission on the same day that sasuke is getting into the academy. when itachi offered to go to sasuke's ceremony, by reminding his father did he get his father to NOT go on the mission (so as to attend the ceremony) and in result itachi went on the mission himself?
we dont know why it was so important but i would guess it has to do with the war in which kabuto was adopted. we dont have a good timeline of all the wars, do we? i remember seeing somone having made a timeline but damned if i know where it is now.
itachi time line:
7 - itachi graduates at the top of the academy.
8 - able to use the sharingan.
10 - became a chuunin.
10.5 - 13 - officially became an anbu member.
13 - became anbu captain. itachi massacres the uchiha clan and leaves. sasuke is 7.
18 - itachi returns to konoha as an akatsuki member. sasuke is 13 (or close to it).
this time is based upon the fact that a year has passed since the beginning of the series. i'm not sure where i remember a year being passed but it must've happened if itachi became anbu captain at 13 and since the uchiha massacre happened 5 years ago from the beginning of the series.
I call this a plothole...
from what we've seen so far, the ANBU were guarding the villiage during the chunin 3rd exam, they looked for information and they're in charge of disposal of missing-nins....
that sound like the police for me, and seeing that Itachi was head of the ANBU, it even makes more sense...
I think the ANBU guys wear masks only when they go out on missions, but who knows...
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Well, since the Uchiha clan was incharge of policing the city and was wiped out, perhaps the ANBU had to expand and take over the internal aswell as the external affairs of Konohas protection.Originally posted by: Death BOO Z
