It was so dark… So cold… Shibiki thought. He got up and looked around to see where he was. Just blackness except he saw a light. Was he dead and what was the light? He knew he had to find out what it was. As he made his way to the light he saw a cage with a note on it that was sealing whatever was inside there. When he got closer it felt warmer each step. This had to be hell. Shibiki thought. Suddenly he heard growing in the cage. He couldn't be in hell as he wasn't in that cage. But then where was he and what could be in that cage?

Soon the growl got louder and Shibiki saw two blazing yellow eyes. He knew who it was… Ifrit! Soon he saw the beast's full figure. It's long giraffe like neck, it's ram like horns, bat wings, and reptilian face and body. Now he knew where he was, he was in his subconscious. "Ahh there you are boy… you've been out for quite awhile glad you're up…" It remarked.

Shibiki glared at it. "Technically I'm probably still out but what am I doing here?" Shibiki asked.

The beast laughed, "Why don't you remember? Itachi Uchiha nearly killed you." It answered.

Shibiki clenched his fists. That's right it was Itachi who tried to kill him! His beloved sensei, his mentor, his only father figure he knew! The beast sighed and continued, "He obviously let you live when he could've killed you so easily."

Shibiki looked up and the Ifrit and asked, "What do you mean? Why wouldn't he just kill me there?"

The beast sighed again it almost looked annoyed. "I'm not sure. Perhaps he has another use for you alive."

Shibiki felt and intense rage building up inside him. That damn traitorous monster would never ever use him again! How dare he keep him alive for just that? Perhaps he wanted the Ifrit itself? "I'm not gonna give him what he wants! I'll kill him first!"

Ifrit chuckled and looked at Shibiki, "I like you kid! You're blood thirsty like me! I think you and I will get along more!" It laughed, "But how do you intend to fight Itachi Uchiha? He is an extremely powerful ninja and we haven't been able to defeat him in the past."

Shibiki remembered the mock fights he had with Itachi and the times he had to resort to awakening the Ifrit's power during those fights. Even with them he barely scratched him. "That was before you gave me more of your chakra! Look at how much you gave me during the fight with Shukaku? If you gave me the same power I would defiantly be able to take Uchiha down!"

Ifrit grinned and cracked its neck, "And don't you remember that I was the one who finished off Shukaku myself! You simply were made to throw it by me alone! How do you intend to defeat Uchiha with your own chakra?"

Shibiki glared at the beast. But it was true the reason he one those battles with Kakashi and the Shukaku jinchuriki were thanks to Ifrit. He himself was extremely powerful with physical strength and chakra with out Ifrit's power, but he did rely on it a lot. "I don't care! I'll try with everything I have but we must work together don't you see? If I die so do you?"

Ifrit laughed hard at him. "Alright I'll give you my power but you yourself must get stronger with your own chakra!" It said, "Looks like it's time for you to awaken!" Shibiki soon saw a bright light and felt the room spin.

Suddenly it was dark again he couldn't move but he felt a sharp pain in his arm as though he was being stuck by needles. Suddenly he heard an unfamiliar voice, "Itachi sama, he is regaining consciousness."

At that moment he hear the emotionless, traitorous voice of his former sensei Itachi Uchiha. "Keep him restrained." He said.

Shibiki immediately opened his eyes and screamed. Where was he? He was in some new lab being worked on by these doctors. Shibiki then looked at the traitor and tried to move but he was restrained he couldn't move at all. He yelled at his sensei as loud as he could, "You! You killed me!"

Itachi then responded in his same cold expression, "No. Madara needed to believe you were dead. I salvaged your body and brought you here to be reborn."

Shibiki looked at him confused but still tense. What did he mean? How could he trust him still after what he had done? Suddenly he heard a voice inside him say tell him, Hear him out he may still be of use to us. We aren't ready to kill him yet.

Shibiki agreed with it, he laid back now not as tense and sighed, "What is thy bidding Itachi sama?"

"It is almost time to hunt the Biju but we need a distraction in order to achieve them."

Itachi answered as he let took off Shibiki's shackles.

Shibiki sat up slowly and felt both of his arms. His arm muscles felt stronger and he felt in perfect condition. "What sort of distraction?" Shibiki asked.

"Madara is planning for his search for the jinchuriki to be easy and no one will get in his way especially with Akatsuki's power" Itachi responded, "We need you to make go undercover with Madara's enemies."

Shibiki tries to remember Madara's enemies; there were the shinobi who he fought against in Kirigakure and of course Kakashi Hatake was one of them. They were part of Konahagakure. There was also the other 4 countries including Sunagakure were Shukaku was at. So he would have go undercover and try to convince them all he was on their side.

"Your mission is to draw them out so we can search for the Biju with out them interfering in our search therefore we can use the Biju to achieve our plan."

Shibiki should've known. Madara needed to believe he was dead so that they could still complete the coup; only this time they would have the element of surprise. "I feel... different..." Shibiki whispered, he looked around and blinked suddenly he saw everything differently movements were slower and things looked clearer.

"During your rebirth I gave you my friend Shisui Uchiha's eyes which I have saved until a moment like this would happen." Itachi exclaimed, "I had them transplanted into your eyes in order to improve your capability, insight, and fighting style. Also your chakra has been altered so that now you can use all 5 chakra elements in combat."

Shibiki looked around with his new Sharingan, it was like he was a newborn seeing for the first time. He blinked and his eyes changed back to normal. This was amazing, his eyes were integrated with the Sharingan, his body has been modified to use any kind of elemental jutsu imaginable and with the size of his chakra he could use any of them with ease even without the Ifrit's chakra. And not only that but the Ifrit and him were on equal terms now. He knew he would be unstoppable and Madara would not survive this time.

"Is there anything else you can tell me other than that?" Shibiki asked.

Itachi nodded, "The Sharingan shall give you the ability to see and copy others jutsu and their movements before they can use them. It is perhaps the most powerful dojutsu that is still used today." "Itachi answered, "This is all I can tell you the rest you must learn on your own. Your destiny is your own, you alone will decide how you will gain power and use your power. Remember though the Sharingan and the Ifrit's power will always be your greatest strengths use them well."

He finished and soon faded away and revealed that he was Daisuke sending the message. "It's good to have you back master it's time for us to leave here immediately." He said, "I was afraid I wouldn't get the chance to kill you myself."

Shibiki smirked and looked at Daisuke. It was good to see his old friend again. "You'll get your chance one of these days." Shibiki chuckled.

"Yes but now I must help you escape." Daisuke explained as he proceeded towards the door, "I'll meet you in the hills."

Shibiki thought about what had happened, he should've known that this was all Itachi's plan. He also thought of what Ifrit said to him and he knew it was true. He wasn't' ready to fight Itachi, but someday he knew he would be. "Alright let's move out." Shibiki replied.
