She was fresh out of the Tokubetsu Jounin try-outs when she first started to work for him. He had doubt that such a shallow beauty would have been able to endure the harshness of his department, but she seemed eager and determined to make it through. Her father had been an asset to him and the scared torturer would have hated himself if he passed on such an opportunity.

As promised, he was highly pleased with her. She was cruel, she was ruthless, she was tough. She was his best. She rarely used any weapons, her wicked mind enough to break the toughest prisoner. And once she reached her goal, she would lick her lips and smile as she was looking at an exquisite sight.

One night he asked her why she liked her job so much. Her ruby lips turned into a sadistic smile as she simply answered: "Power. Over life. Over sanity." Morino Ibiki returned the same kind of smile and knew he had found his successor in Yamanaka Ino.
