U is for Unanimous

When Ibiki was considered for the position of Head of Interrogation and Torture, he was called into the Elders' Council, who decided that they needed to reads him his own life story before deciding if he was suitable for the job. Albeit boring, it gave him some time to bond with the Third Hokage, with whom he shared many eye-rolls and bored looks during that hour. Afterwards, they summoned in the civilian council, the Head of Jonin (Shikaku, who also looked suitably bored), and the Daimyo himself. Ibiki had come to understand that because he would have complete free reign on what he could do to interrogate people, they wanted to be sure to bring in the right person for the job. After listening to them describe his life story again (he and Shikaku went out for drinks and became fast friends-boredom had its uses) they voted. Every one of them voted for Ibiki, the first unanimous vote for anything that Konoha had had since the election of the first Hokage.

He was proud. He didn't care that they elected him to torture people until he retired; he was proud of the fact that he could serve Konoha in a way no one else could. Whatever else he might be, Ibiki was the best at his job and Konoha knew it.
