FLASHBACKS
The soft morning sun filtered through the curtains, gently illuminating the serene Hyuuga household. In the nursery, a tiny infant lay sleeping peacefully in her crib, wrapped in a delicate pale blue blanket. This was Y/n, the firstborn daughter of Hiashi Hyuuga.
As the years passed, Y/n grew into a precocious and curious child. At age 1, she took her first steps, toddling around the mansion with an impish grin. At 2, she began speaking, her voice a melodic lilt as she babbled in baby talk. Hiashi and his wife doted on their little princess, showering her with affection and praise.
At 3 years old, Y/n was already showing signs of her inherited Byakugan, her pale teal eyes taking on an unsettling brown purple color. Hiashi recognized this trait as a mark of the Hyuuga clan's powerful dojutsu. He knew Y/n would grow to be an incredibly strong ninja one day.
Then, at age 4, an unexpected visitor arrived in Konoha from a faraway land called Forks, Washington. This was Hiashi's long-lost younger brother, Charlie Swan. Charlie was a civilian, not a ninja like his family. He had moved to America as a boy and stayed there, keeping in touch with Hiashi through occasional letters.
Y/n was both fascinated and terrified by Charlie, who looked so different from her with his lighter hair and stranger clothes. Charlie was enchanted by his adorable little niece though. "Hello there Y/n," he greeted warmly, kneeling down. "It's nice to finally meet you."
Y/n hid shyly behind her mother's skirt, peeking out at Charlie with wide eyes. "H-hello..." she whispered, too nervous to say more. Charlie chuckled.
When he asked if she wanted to play, Y/n's face lit up. She scurried over and started babbling excitedly, eager to show her uncle all her favorite toys and games.
As the days went by, Y/n took to Charlie quickly. He spent hours reading her stories, playing dolls, and teaching her silly American songs. His presence filled Y/n with joy and wonder, even as young as she was.
Charlie was amazed by how bright and way-beyond-her-years curious Y/n was. He saw so much of himself and Hiashi in her. "She's going to do great things someday," he told his brother. Hiashi smiled, eyes full of fatherly pride. He knew it was true.
Y/n turned 5, then 6. Charlie's visit stretched on for many weeks, and she adored every moment spent with him. She made him promise he'd come back soon before saying goodbye. Charlie hugged her tight. "I'll come back to see you real soon, Y/n. That's a promise." She beamed up at him, eyes shining with love and adoration.
As Charlie returned to America, Y/n watched her beloved uncle disappear into the distance. But she knew in her heart he'd be back before long. For now, she had the cherished memories of her time with Charlie, which she would treasure always. And so, Y/n Hyuuga continued to grow and develop, an amazing little girl with a special connection to a family member from a land far, far away...

Young Y/n Hyuuga sat on her knees, hands clasped politely in her lap, as she faced her father Hiashi on the Hyuuga compound's training grounds. The mid-morning sun cast a warm glow over the scene, but the father-daughter pair were engrossed in their task at hand. At only 5 years old, it was still early for Y/n to begin formal ninja training, but with her prodigious talent and eager attitude, Hiashi had decided to start her off with some basic exercises to hone her chakra control.
