Rogue Ninjas in Naruto are the runaway shinobis who have deserted their nation either by conducting unlawful activities or by abandoning their village for personal cause. These ninjas are strictly banned from not only the village they came from but also the other villages in Naruto.
After being declared that they are off the leash, they could be persecuted if found.The Kage of the village assigns the ANBU to execute these deserters as they could disclose crucial Intel with the enemy nations, which could resurrect their worst Nightmares.
The identities of these blacklisted ninjas are compiled in a book known as the Bingo-Book, by the high-ranking official of the village, usually the Kage. Later this information gets circulated among the Jonin and ANBU members to terminate them on sight.
These Rogue Ninjas in Naruto might not be acclaimed by their village, but the fear they inflict among all the Nations tells how powerful they are.
