Shinobi Special Operations

[NWOTNAdmin]

Special Operations

Elite shinobi, the best of the best. In this times of tension each village has produced within itself a new organization to deal with threats to their safety. Each village has carefully selected shinobi with skills that stand out from the pack to suit the needs of these organizations. They take on tougher missions than the normal shinobi populace of the same rank and risk their lives everyday to maintain order, gain intelligence, advance their wealth, or simply because it is a major part of their philosophy to do so. The life of a special operations shinobi is even more dangerous than that of the shinobi norm, and may get you well acquainted with the spirit of death on numerous occasion. However, this is what the world demands of them. What the world will demand of you, should you choose to join their ranks. The job isn't easy, but if you think you can handle it Welcome to Special Ops.

Basic Rules

• Leaders retain the right to exile a member of their respective special operations force for breaking one of their rules, or unsatisfactory mission results. Leaders can themselves only be ousted via their supervisor or superior finding them incapable of leadership, aka the Admins evaluate them via the NPC Kages or the High Priestess in the Zealots case.
  
• Exiled members may appeal and complete a new and much harder entrance exam to attempt to be allowed back into their special ops group, but this is subject to admin evaluation just like the initial entrance exam. However, readmitted members can no longer make claims for the leadership position should it become available. If the member is exiled from the group a second time, then they are exiled permanently and can no longer become a special operations member.
  
• Spec ops members that commit treason can be executed either publicly or secretly when caught. The member is question that committed treason only has one escape chance before the execution goes through.
  
• Spec ops members are able to go on missions one rank higher than other shinobi of the equivalent rank.

Cost: Done via RP.
Description: A seal giving ANBU their mark as the 'necessary evil'.

Description/Purpose: Being that Konoha is all about being law abiding and diplomatic and all, this squad would be for it's 'deniable ops' as in those darker missions that the village claims never happened and don't speak of. That's the reason for their symbol being the mask when on a mission, so that the citizens don't know of the more 'evil' things their shinobi do to keep the peace even if they happened to see one performing such an act. They will do the assassination missions, and other darker missions that don't really fit Konoha's Code of Conduct but are a 'necessary evil' for it to maintain it's status and laws.
Entrance Exam: Test of morals, conviction, and will power given by the ANBU Captain. Applicants will have to prove they know right from wrong while still taking on the role of a 'necessary evil' for Konoha. The Hokage will modify the memories of failed applicants, as they know to much.
Rules of the ANBU:

• If you are captured Konohagakure will disavow all knowledge of your existence and activities.
  
• If captured do not give out any information about anything.Yourself, the village, your mission, nothing.
