Her father was a member of the intermediate clan which branched off from the Hyūga Clan, which later branched again into the Kaguya and Jūgo's clans many generations ago. He fell in love with a Hyūga woman, who was able to calm his natural energy inspired rages brought on by the lack of the powerful spiritual energies and yin chakras this bloodline lost when the Hyūgas genetically branched off. Together they sired two children before the mother was hunted down by Root Hunter nin and Hyūga clansman. The father flew into a rage, killing most his assailants before being brought down himself. The children were spared their parents fate as they were too young to even recall their progenitors. On order of the Third Hokage, one child, Nijiki, was turned over to the Hyūga clan and the other unnamed child became a member of Root. Not much is known about Njiki's early life. However, at some point she was branded as a member of the branch family. Due to her unusual birth she was shunned and controlled even more than usual by the main family. She developed no loyalty to her clan and eventually incited a rebellion of over two hundred branch family members. These Hyūga defected from the village hidden in the leaves and headed north. Their numbers whittled down along the way by hunter nin, they survived an attack by Root shinobi, using a technique she personally developed to temporarily abate the effects of the caged bird seal. She and a group of 99 remained the sole survivors of the infamous Saki Rebellion, as it would soon be known. In an effort to lead them away from her group, Nijika split off as a decoy. She managed to kill her pursuers using booby traps, but only after being severely injured in the process. A shinobi of the Land of Whispering bone, Kagemori Sessai, found her critically injured on the borders of his nation. He rejoined with her followers, brought them back to the Whispering Bone, where their wounds were treated, and granted them asylum in his nation. Kagemori quickly became enamored with the feisty kunoichi's indomitable will that had led her and over two hundred Hyūga to defy their clan conventions and seek personal liberty. Adapting the fuuinjutsu medical knowledge she developed to facilitate their escape, Sessai removed the caged bird seal, freeing her and her clan-members from their burden and forever breaking their ties with the Hyūga Clan. He offered her clan asylum in exchange for becoming his wife. She agreed readily as she too had developed feelings for her rescuer. They were married in a secret ceremony with only Kagemori's and Nijika's closest allies. As Sessai was held in high favor by Yondime Oyabun, his marriage and promise of asylum were upheld, even at the cost of some political capital with their neighbors in the South. As part of the agreement, the clansmen took up the family name of their benefactor and eligible members married into the tattered remnants of the Kagemori clan, which at that time consisted of less than two dozen members. Together they vow to protect the nation that gave them sanctuary as members of the Mumonkan.
