The ANBU Black Obs are supposed to be such high ranked elite Ninjas and yet, every time they are in the story they get slaughtered! Kabuto killed a few. Orochimaru - well, that's a different story, but he finished them off in droves....what exactly do they do - besides die?

I think they are also more of spies, too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANBUThis from Wikipedia: The ANBU (暗部, The ANBU? literally "Dark Side", Viz "Black Ops", English TV "ANBU Black Ops") is actually short for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊, Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai? literally Special Assassination and Tactical Squad). The name is a play on words, as in English acronyms like SWAT, where the two kanji used to abbreviate the group's full name constitute an actual word on their own. The ANBU wear porcelain animal masks, in order to distinguish themselves from normal shinobi and to conceal their identities. They also have standard uniforms consisting of black and white armor, arm guards, and a signature spiral tattoo on their arms. ANBU protect the village from exceptional threats, conduct high-risk missions into enemy countries, and deal with extremely strong (S-Rank) ninja. They are also responsible for carrying out assassinations and missions requiring specially trained ninja. Unique for most characters in Naruto, all ANBU carry katanas, which are usually strapped to their backs, and they all know the layout of the human body in detail. ANBU is an organization that serves under the direct command of their Kage. Kakashi Hatake was a former captain and Itachi Uchiha became an ANBU captain at age 13. Ibiki Morino, the proctor of the first Chūnin exam, is the head of the Konoha ANBU Torture and Interrogation Squad (木ノ葉暗部拷問・尋問部隊, Konoha Anbu Gōmon/Jinmon Butai?). Zabuza Momochi was once part of Kirigakure's ANBU. ~~~~~~~~ So it's not unexpected that they die so often. They have the hardest, toughest, and most dangerous jobs ever.

Simple when any character looks like a everyday foot solider he's setting himself up to be slaughtered by the unique characters. Much like X-Men Sentenals and Red Einsens in Star Trek.

I guess that's one reason they wear masks! so they are dispensable in the story, but darnit, they stand around and get blown to bits...or watch a fight...they do look pretty useless, contrary to their job desciption!
