I think that was my point.

It's mostly skills for spying and assasination that'll get you in that spot and maybe from what I get they should have the will to kill atleast. most of the main genin konoha 11 imo weren't that much into killing their enemies for missions unless they have no other choice. anbu seems to be very loyal and trustworthy, like even though it was a time where the uchiha still lived(they were famous for their skills and power) weren't that much trustworthy atleast to the village elders excluding hiruzen. that's why only itachi was allowed in it. and it also seems that they also have to be requested for it to get in it I think? since itachi was enrolled in it by his father who planned to use that oppurtunity to spy on them. and again they also seemed to be very loyal-ish. they follow direct orders even it meant risk to their lives and they might as well not question about their missions unlike most of the main characters who wouldn't just go ahead and kill a stranger. and again, it seemed danzo took most of the good ones with him or more likely the best ones for his roots.
