do ANBU in the show and manga suck so horribly? They're supposed to be the best of the best, the elite ninjas who take on the toughest, most dangerous missions, and yet I've never seen an active ANBU who was able to fight his way out of a paper bag. Throughout the entire series and manga, I've never seen an ANBU do anything useful, unless you count dying as being useful.
The only exceptions are Kakashi, but he's not ANBU any longer, Yamato, though he isn't acting as ANBU either currently, and Sai, which is pretty much the same as the other two. Do the masks drain them of their strength or something? Seriously, I know Kabuto is as strong as Kakashi (approximately), but taking on like 7 or 8 ANBU with as much ease as he did is just ridiculous.
So yeah, ANBU suck unless their purpose is to be cannon fodder. Then it makes a lot of sense, cause dying is about the only thing they seem to be good at.

well remember that some ANBU are Chuunin so perhaps all the ones we have seen die horribly easily were all Chuunin ANBU

Ah Itachi, I forgot to put him in. I was trying not to include former ANBU, but even if I do include him, that makes 4 people who don't suck in the whole organization.

i think that Anbu is mostly kept in secret, they never really do missions they just do the dirty work.

That doesn't address the issue of them sucking at everything but getting killed.
