One possible secret could be that the ANBU has been secretly experimenting with forbidden jutsus. Naruto might find out about this when he stumbles upon a hidden laboratory or catches a glimpse of some strange chakra signatures. Another idea is that there is a secret alliance within the ANBU that goes against the will of the village leaders. Naruto could be the one to expose this alliance as he delves deeper into the ANBU's secrets. Or it could be that the ANBU has a secret way of enhancing their abilities that is not known to the general public, and Naruto discovers it by accident.
It could be a secret mission that the ANBU has been hiding. Maybe it involves a powerful enemy or a dangerous jutsu that they don't want to be known.
