The boy was taken in by Itachi and became his pupil while keeping it unknown to the rest of the Akatsuki including his current partner Kisame Hoshigaki. Itachi taught him the three basic types of jutsu and even how to control his Biju. The boy however was not guided every step of the way by his new sensei; Instead he was allowed to find his own way, with Itachi giving him minor advice and instruction on how to use the jutsu. Itachi was not a fatherly figure, he was never kind or encouraging to his pupil, and the boy had to endure constant punishment and rigorous exercise. The pair frequently sparred with swords, kunai, and other weapons, occasionally their jutsu. During the brutal training exercises, the boy was pushed to his limits and on several occasions, he felt he was on the brink of death, which he did to test his jutsu and strengthen his chakra. He has been cut repeatedly by his sensei's blade; he bares scars from his multiple mock duels.

One his 15th birthday Itachi called him in to his throne room. The boy has been living in the Uchiha castle since he was 13 after proving his power and loyalty countless of times. This was also to make sure no one else would find him, as Itachi was the only one who dwelled in the castle.

The boy entered the throne room and he bowed to his sensei. No longer the boy was small, he was now at least 179 cm tall and weighed 55.3 kg. He had semi long black hair down to his neck and his body was extremely muscular yet scared from the mock duels with his master. He wore a standard Uchiha training gear that trainees of the clan use to wear. He had very pale skin yet his face was flawless and once Hitachi commented he had "the face of an angel" He was now ready to finally be a true ninja. Hitachi turned to him and said. "You were weak when I found you, now you have shown me that you have mastered all ninja arts,"

The boy smirked when his master told him he mastered the arts. Itachi pulled out his sword and knighted his apprentice, "You are now a true agent of Akatsuki and an unstoppable force no once can stop. And it is time all of your training will truly be put to the test."

The boy wanted to show how he truly felt but didn't as he was told never to show his foolish emotions such as happiness. But deep down the boy was more than pleased, as there was only one foe he has not encountered. "You're sending me after ninja?" The boy asked.

Itachi answered, "Yes my spies have told me Kakashi Hatake is leading a squad of Konaha ninja to attack Kirigakure strong supporters of our cause. Kill him and bring me his headband as proof."

The boy was ecstatic at this attempt to finally fight a true ninja. The previous missions he received were assassinations against adversaries of both Itachi and Akatsuki. Among his targets were spies, thieves, and even certain high ranking rulers who rebelled against Akatsuki's ideals. But to confront a true ninja of jonin level was always his true objective.

"And remember Akatsuki does not know your existence. You are to destroy all witnesses, Konaha ninja and Kiri ninja alike." Itachi continued to explain.

This order that the boy's sensei decreed rather disturbed him. While he was always satisfied that he had helped defend Akatsuki and fulfill his sensei's will, Kirigakure were loyal supporters of Akatsuki and made dealing with them frequently. Therefore he did not understand why they had to suffer as well as the Konaha nins. However he had to do his sensei's will with out question so he made sure that he had concealed his feelings. I will not fail you my lord," He said to his sensei as he made his leave. The boy then turned around and notice Itachi had turned his back to him. In order to try and start conversation the boy exclaimed, "Sensei I have decided on a name for myself"

Itachi still with his back turned, with the same emotionless expression and voice replied, "Have you now?" His voice was like ice, cold and clear.

"Shibiki. My name will be Shibiki Todah."The boy answered hoping his sensei would be pleased.

Itachi replied with the same emotionless voice, "I did not ask for it. Now go my apprentice. There is no time to waste"

Shibiki bowed one last time and walked away to complete his mission knowing that as always Itachi could careless what he was really called. On his way to get his equipment he sensed something coming. Suddenly a man wearing a hidden leaf uniform and black hair lighter than Shibiki's but of similar length attacked him with a kunai. Shibiki blocked the attacks with his own kunai and looked at the man's face. "Fugaku Uchiha?" Itachi's father how was this possible? Itachi killed his entire clan prior to joining Akatsuki. It didn't matter how he was alive what matters is he has to die Shibiki remembered. Shibiki cut Fugaku's hand and used a Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu which threw the former leader of the Uchiha clan straight into a wall. The transformation jutsu wore off of the assailant and it was revealed to be Shibiki's childhood friend Daisuke.

In order to aid Shibiki in his tasks Itachi provided his with two things Daisuke and a Medical ninja who Itachi had handpicked medical ninja who have enlisted in Akatsuki, though he usually executed each of them within only a handful of missions. Daisuke is a shape shifting dragon who serves as a companion and long time friend of Shibiki, and further added additional training as one of his primary goals is to not only serve him but to kill him as well. Daisuke had a kinjutsu that allows him to change appearance and adopt a wide range of disguise and abilities. He could also present messages, He would transform into the sender and the sender would rely the message. Also, when the Shibiki wanted information on an individual, Daisuke would turn into that person and confirm their identity.

"Excellent attack master! Itachi sama has taught you well!" Daisuke exclaimed.

"Let's go Daisuke you'll get your chance someday." Shibiki laughed.

"It's too bad I thought that this was my chance to kill you" Daisuke replied while he followed his master.

They both headed to see their new medical ninja and they saw that she was a young woman. She had long red hair worn in a ponytail, a very slim body, She looked about 14-15, and she wore a black revealing top and skirt. Shibki believed she had the face and body of a true goddess. "Who is she Daisuke?" Shibiki asked.

Daisuke transformed into her and said in her voice, "Migoto Setsuka originally from Kagerogakure. After completing the Chunin exams at age 6 she studied to become a medical ninja for her village. At the age of 12 she became so gifted in the medical arts she moved became head of the medical department in the entire village and even other villages hired her especially for her ability."

To Shibiki her voice sounded as though she was a grown woman and yet it sounded as though a valkerie was singing.

"I wonder if you have any record on why I join Akatsuki?" The same valkerie voice asked, only this time it was not Daisuke.

Daisuke shifted back and said, "Master I think she heard us."

Shibiki rolled his eyes and sarcastically said, "Yeah no kidding." He turned and looked at the new medical ninja. "So you're the new medical nin eh?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yes Migoto Setsuka as you know. So exactly are our operations?" She asked.

Shibiki walked ahead of her towards the door. "You follow me and you heal me that's all you need to know. Now we need to go I don't want to keep my master waiting." He said as Daisuke followed him.

Migoto sighed and replied, "As you wish." as she followed him. "But you will have to tell me sometime so I can know what I'm getting into."

Shibiki sighed himself and said, "I am Itachi Uchiha's personal assassin and you are now my medical ninja who will assist me in all of my missions from here on out. I will tell you more if necessary" And he continued one his way.
