^^there is a lot of baisc jutsus than can be learned by anyone without giving away their identity, but this filler is like the version whichi naruto would have if it stayed with the ninja-stuff without turning it into a super-sayan parody... therefore the anbu, even if they are really "deadly" dont use ninjutsus a lot, afterall for the shinobi is part1 chakra is limited and the use of aat most 10 high-class jutsus (chidori etc) should result in a hugh drop of their fighting ability,

this is why most of part1-naruto fight consisted of ninjutu-killing moves+a lot of taijutsu,

or ninjutsu-distracting-moves+ a lot of taijutsu,

or genjutsu for confusing and than attacking with killing moves+ a lot of taijutsu,

or entire fights with taijutsu where they occasionally used ninjutsus if they saw a way to win the fight... and of course weapons :)
