Yui Hyuga awakened her Byakugan, entered the Ninja Academy, and found ways to pursue freedom from the Caged Bird Seal. As she escaped confinement and gained a mouse summon, Hyuga Feng’s experiments put Nai Hyuga in grave danger, while Hiruzen Sarutobi chose to conceal the truth from Yui.

Yui rescued Nai from Hyuga Feng’s laboratory, killed Ikuko, and fled Konoha with Shobue after Feng died in the collapsing lab.
