ANBU the Konoha SWAT team, suddenly not appearing since ages, is it because they have no current leader after the dismissed of Danzo? Or did they had opened their porcelain mask and joined the regular force? Or did i miss something? Got any idea anyone?
Where is ANBU right now?

But Seriously The Anbu Are Supposed To Be The Best Of The Best. They Are Overrated.

The ANBU are supposed to be staffed with such elite ninja like Anko, Kakashi, Shizune, and Kurenai.
Thus, I have to throw voice in with the "so... why are they about as useful as Storm Troopers in Star Wars?"
We've never seen them do much in the series aside from deliver messages and get trashed by the villain's henchmen (who are later disposed of by teams of genin... makes sense).
There again... the ninja population doesn't make much sense at all. If the Chuunin exams are any indication of how many ninja are actually selected to be Chuunin, the idea that there could ever be more than a few dozen of them at any time is difficult to justify. Jonin, logically, should be even more rare.
So, how there's a ninja war involving a 50 thousand ninja across the four great nations when you have around 12 academy graduates each year (per village) and possibly 4 Cuunin selected every four (per regional exam)... I don't quite get it.
It's probable that I missed some elaboration of Kishimoto's part that makes this all seem much more reasonable (such as other processes for selecting Chuunin or highlighting that naruto's graduating group was merely one class out of an academy that ran multiple classes concurrently across the graduation cycle)
But I realized long ago that the Ninjas did not go by the Numbers.

These elite ninja has been handpicked by Hokage to enlisted under ANBU Corps. They didnt have any special exams or evaluation by normal standards. Then, there is another ROOT division which is considered commando-like division which carries another special duties, top secret mission which normally even the Hokage wouldnt have any access to it. I dont think, any normal ninja would be selected if they didnt have any special jutsu or any expertise and their standard maybe as high as any normal jounin in the village.
