'I will tell you who you are and everything you need to know. After that, I will send you away.' my father said.

Then, he hesitantly starts 'So first of all I will tell you my name. I don't know what my name is is, because my mother was the last soul to know it, and she has been gone for many years. However, she would always call me Toru. So, my officially recorded name is Toru Suzuki.

'I will tell you about why you have the byakugan first.' He activates his own, and I realise I had gotten it from him. 'This from before Konoha was founded. My grandfather, your great grandfather, was a member of the head family of the Hyūga. However he was "weak", and so his elder brother, Lord Hiashi's grandfather, was chosen to be the heir of the Hyūga. And it is the rule that if a male sibling of the Head family is not an heir, he becomes a Branch family member. That is why, you and I are members of the Hyūga Branch family. 

Then your great grandfather married a woman from Konoha, which had been founded by then, and she was not a Hyūga. They had a daughter who did not inherit the byakugan. She did not receive the cursed seal, because her father had had a fight with Main family, as Branch family often does, and the Main family did not bother to keep contact with his family either, because he had disobeyed them by marrying someone not a Hyūga. They were very strict back then, however they have eased a little. That left my grandfather and his family alone.

Then, this girl, after growing up, came across an injured man in the woods. She treated him and soon fell in love with him, and the man fell in love with her too. They had a son together.

However, their happiness did not last long, because the man died. The reason of his death was the Jikanogan. Yes, he was a Suzuki. The jikanogan not only consumes your chakra, but also your life force, causing a Suzuki to live a short life. Because of this, jikanogan is considered to be a "defect".

And hence, the girl raised her son by herself, telling him all she knew about his father and his other family. She made sure that her son never missed his father. The boy was me, Toru. And mother was everything to me.

No one wanted to be near a Suzuki, and father had built our house at the edge of the village, but close to the woods because of his love for it. After he died, mother continued to stay there. But that turned out to be a disadvantage. When I was 7 or maybe 8, Suzuki hunters came upon our house and discovered our existence. They came to take us away and keep us with more Suzuki that they had captured. In the middle of that, they knocked out mother. That scared and enraged me, causing me to unlock the jikanogan, and I started hurting our captors. I was close to killing them so they knocked me out.

When I woke, I found myselfwith some of my captors and another man who seemed to be their leader. He told me to use my powers again, but this time for them, and if I failed mother will be killed. I realised that my mother was there. They told me to start with a tree beside us. I tried hard, but I couldn't do it on ommand. I was too scared. Mother told me calmly that "It will be okay." But those hunters realised that I couldn't do it and killed her. It shocked me so much that finally used my powers, making my first kills.

The anbu had discovered the hunters' presence by then, as they came to rescue us, only to find all the hunters dead. When they found out that it was me who killed them, they took me to the Hokage. He was nice to me, speaking to me in a way that comforted me.He gave me a house to stay in. He convinced me to become a ninja by saying that I will be able "avoid more of such incidents". He must have meant well, but I couldn't help but feel that he needed a Suzuki under him in future, so he "tricked" me into attending the academy. I always held such suspicions about people, making it difficult for me to befriend anyone.
