| abstract | - Yūgao was born into Konohagakure's prestigious Hyūga Clan, specifically the main branch, about six years prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War. Much of her early life in the village is unknown. She graduated the Academy when she was 10 years old and became a Chūnin two years later. During her lifetime, she lived to see the reign of five Hokage: Tsunade, Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, Seireitou Hyūga, and Kasuga Sarutobi — the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Hokage respectively. During the reign of the Eighth, Seireitou, she would accidentally encounter Fūjin Uchiha, a visitor from Yamagakure after the man was shoved into her by an angry villager. Later, Seireitou would send her on a joint mission with Fūjin to dispatch a militant clan on the border of the Land of Fire. This turned out to be a well-placed trap by Seireitou, meant to test Fūjin's capabilities and rid himself of a potential rival, at the possible expenditure of Yūgao. The enemy shinobi, secretly Seireitou's subordinates, initially overwhelmed them — capturing Yūgao and beating Fūjin nearly to death. Yūgao, however, appeared unworried, telling her captors that hope was impossible for them as Fūjin dropped in with a Raitama attack, killing them. As the two recovered from their wounds, they began to realize that they had been set up: the clan they were sent to kill was much more organized than their mission details entailed; furthermore, they were stronger than the Hokage had said. Suspecting Seireitou, Fūjin divulged the details of his father's relationship to Seireitou and came to the conclusion that Seireitou must have seen him as a threat and decided to get rid of him. Yūgao, loyal to her home village, but still unsure as to who to blame, suggested that the two return to Konohagakure and investigate further. Before either could, however, Seireitou himself arrived — having learned of his subordinates' defeat. The Hokage hoped to kill both, thereby eliminating any witnesses, and then report to the village that both had died the hands of the enemy clan: painting himself as the true hero. Seireitou unleashed his frightening power on the two, nearly killing them in the process. Before finishing the job, however, Seireitou goaded Fūjin: suggesting that his father, Ryun, was the weaker of the pair, as he [Seireitou] had lived long enough to see his ambitions to fruition, while Ryun had chosen to die like any other mortal. Infuriated by the use of his father's name in such a vain, the dormant chakra of Raiden within Fūjin's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan finally merged together with his own, and the Rinnegan awakened in his left eye. Realizing a fight with the Rinnegan — though a battle he could easily win, with Fūjin's wounds — would draw more attention than he would have liked, Seireitou retreated, subsequently retiring as Eighth Hokage and naming his successor: Kasuga Sarutobi. Fūjin and Yūgao then revealed to the village of Seireitou's actions, with the former vowing to hunt Seireitou down and stop his plans. Yūgao, secretly feeling smitten with Fūjin, offered to tag along: an offer he eventually accepted.
