| abstract | - Shigeki was an orphan who barely remember anything about her parents. From childhood she was raised by tutors and the Tobikakurenai Village's ANBU captains that instructed her the "way of the good shinobi". All her childhood she spent living in the inns of the ANBU training program. As much as the heads of ANBU tried to please the most children when they were not training, so that they do not deny to perform trainings, Shigeki always felt lonely and fragile. One of the few ways she found to improve her mood was to create clay pots. She liked to mold the clay and transform its fluid structure into something solid and pretty. At age five, Shigeki met an older boy named Kaba, who seemed to be somewhat rejected by other boys of his age, because Kaba does not surpassed most expectations of the training program tutors. The friendship between the two was instantaneous and the bond of brotherhood between them grew stronger every day. Thus, Shigeki began to admire Kaba as her older brother and he looked at her as his little sister. After becoming a genin, Shigeki was presented to her particular master who would teach exclusively to her new shinobi techniques and oversee her training. Initially, Shigeki had not liked her new sensei, Tomo Kogure, because he was too serious and calculating. His principles were that a shinobi should not cling to its emotions and should always follow the logic - which was totally different of what Kaba always told her to do. It was apparent that Tomo had no experience in dealing with children, so the first few months of living together they were not very friendly. But before eleven when Shigeki was promoted to chūnin, she discovered who had a kekkei genkai, the Fluid Release. That discovery approached pupil and teacher, because together the two began training and to better understand the kekkei genkai to enhance Shigeki's training. Since then, Tomo and Shigeki began to understand well each other, and she realized that the sensei was not entirely rational, but deep down he felt his emotions. During the time that Tomo was the sensei of Shigeki, she finally knew how the relationship should be between a daughter and her father. However, Tomo and Kaba did not get along, their opinions about the shinobi world were opposed and often one argued with another. Generally the discussions generated around their ideals, and they often argued about which way would be best for the future of Shigeki. The incidents in her life began after the worst fighting between Kaba and Tomo happen. The two argued fiercely as never before and ended up fighting each other. The fight only ended when Shigeki intervened to tears, and arrested the two with her minesweeper. From that day the relationship between her and Kaba became more distant, when the brother avoided her the maximum and just focused on his missions. A few months later it was time to Tomo move away from Shigeki when he was ordered to serve a mission outside the village. A few months after both leaving on missions, Tomo was missing for almost two years and when appeared he had been killed and his body was found by members of the Kusagakure's ANBU. Some months after the disappearance of Tomo, Kaba also disappeared and six months after Tomo's death he also was killed. After the death of her sensei and her brother, Shigeki became lonely and secluded in her home. Perhaps due to her determination to only care about her missions, her income increased in each battle and with that she got her promotion to become jōnin before reaching adulthood. Even so, she decided to leave the ANBU training.
