Loud screams came from the small home that night. The pain of labor was excruciating. When Taisha Hikari learned that she was pregnant she and her husband Letai Hikari agreed that she would have the baby at home. Letai was at work in a local shop in the hidden leaf village when her water broke. After three house of labor alone, she gave birth to a baby girl.
As soon as she had the baby Letai walked into the room. Much to his surprise he found Taisha dead and much to his disappointment she was holding a baby girl. He dropped to his knees and wept for his deceased wife and picked up his crying daughter and held her above his head facing him.
"Your name will be Yami for you are the darkness in the light. The name will be male for I have always wanted a child who would be Shinobi. You will never be known as my daughter." He had never believed that women should be Shinobi, but as Yami was his only offspring he had no choice.
Letai then threw away every memory of Taisha and any proof that Yami was his biological child. When she was old enough she was put into school and forces to become ninja against her will.
"You were on the streets starving to death when I found you. Had I not taken you in when I had you would be dead right now. Never go against my will you owe me your life and so you will always do as I say." Letai would say to her. Because of this lie she would never go against his will.
