Leader of the ANBU?

[StrawHatSeyi]

To be honest, you don't need the rank title of jonin to be ANBU. If the Kage sees a chunin with exceptional skill. He will ask him to be ANBU.

Or genin....

I will up that again because i thought that the kage need a list of all ninjas he have in his village (obviously) and can maybe have frequent reports from his sensei (chuunin/jonin) about progress of all genin, to be aware if a genin is unusually strong or intelligent etc...
Afterwards if someone is at the top of the list the kage convene the ninja like when he give mission but ask him to take a special test. (everything done in secret)

ANBU members were picked based on skill and intellect. Race, rank, sex, point of origin, etc., was not factored into the selection process. All ANBU are handpicked by the Kage of the village. Most of the time, shinobi were picked for their rare jutsu or kekkei genkai. That does not make it impossible for someone else to join.

That being said, this isn't Naruto. Therefore, a system like the SLO version of ANBU will not be the same as Naruto's ANBU. In order to be smart about this, I think that there should be a position under the Kage that directly controls the ANBU (Like Danzo but maybe not as evil?). He/She will have a test/application for 99% of the candidates for ANBU. Along with the test, they will have the meet certain requirements. Some of these could be (And these are examples) that the shinobi was born in the village to parents who were also born in the village (This ensures loyalty most of the time), the shinobi be a certain age (like 16 minimum), and that the shinobi be at least a Jōnin in the village ranking system.

Now, notice that I said 99%? Well, the remaining 1% that are not selected via the normal process are selected directly by the Kage. These are people that are picked based on skill, and skill alone. Rank, age, point of origin, etc., will not matter in this selection. The selected shinobi will also not undergo the test (if there is one) and is either assigned to the main branch of the ANBU or to the Kage's personal unit.

Raito that sounds pretty good actually like having a kages right hand man/woman who is captian of the anbu and the kage is the one who chooses the captian. I like your idea and i do believe that it should work, this way the anbu captian can pick a time with the kage and do a test together. I however would choose a 2 to 3 part test, of course the first phase would be teams and to battle leaving 2 top teams and then a intellect test which wouldnt kick out anyone, but if you dont finish every question i will kick you out and then another battle which would leave me with 2 people to become anbu or something along those lines.

I actually thought about mentioning Konoha's Root and Kirigakure's ANBU test from the anime/manga. They basically make candidates learn and train together for a while. Then before they can officially call themselves ANBU, they are forced to killed one of their classmates. Something along those lines would be kind of dark but cool imo

This isn't hidden mist xD.

This isn't hidden mist xD.

It could be....and it could be beautiful

[Shivraj]

ummmm, what about no? xD that would be too cruel, no?

[Xassassin]

Oh come on shiv! Lol, having people go through this type of test would be amazing because then we would have the strongest members be apart of anbu.   We will be coming after the rogues of course.

[Nova]

Killing your friends for a rank, I hope it's just a friendly 1v1 to see who's better, and not a fight to the death in a perma-death zone.
Friends > Rank but that might just be me.

[Hatake Raito]

The whole "model it after Kirigakure's ANBU and the Root" was a joke.......sort of

basically killing your friends so that you can become ANBU whose sole job is to hunt down rogues?
