Sunagakure Anbu

The Anbu are a coalition of the finest shinobi trained specifically in the arts of assassination, torture, and covert operation. Like villages with similar organizations the Anbu of Sunagakure are under the direct control of the Kage: the Kazekage specifically.

Uniforms
Prior to the, Suna Anbu seem to wear pieces of cloth that resemble turbans to cover the lower-halves of their faces leaving only their eyes visible rather than the animal-like masks of Konohagakure. Aside from this, members of the Anbu wear a sand-brown flack jacket with extended shoulders. This style was phased out after the rise of the Sixth Kazekage, Bunbuku Chagama. Following the reforms made by Bunbuku, the Anbu adopted an entirely new uniform: a black, long-sleeve, matching black hakama, and a light-colored obi sash. Additionally, Anbu members now wear a black mask with a hair-like feature attached to the back, completely concealing their identity. These uniforms distinctively lack the Sunagakure headbands.

Composition
The Anbu usually work in teams formed to the requirements of the mission, ensuring maximum success. The shinobi in the Anbu are hand-picked by the Kazekage, chosen for their individual capabilities and special skills. Age, gender, background, or previous rank bear no weight in this decision. There are apparently no true ranks within the Anbu, unlike within the regular forces. Team leadership and hierarchy seem to be based on merit and experience. The leaders of the teams in Sunagakure are called, a position held in high regard.
