<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Homi was born in the Uchimoto clan as Second Urufukage’ s first daughter and third child. Having a carefree childhood, the kunoichi was educated basic ninja techniques at   <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Ōkamigakure’ s Academy <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">and in particular, by her mother, Lighting Release techniques. Also, during her childhood, Homi liked to put on small puppet spectacles for her little sister and paint.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">In her teens, she traveled throughout different countries with her father and brother as they were making treaties with other clans. In the time of a treaty with the Uzumaki clan, Homi met for the first time the kunoichi Mito Uzumaki and shared with her impressions about their clans’ techniques. She also was provoked by a female Uzumaki member to fight with her, but she defeated the other woman easily with her Lightning Release techniques, receiving honorable the nickname of “ <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Ōkamigakure’ s Thunderbolt Woman”.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">When the Great Fire of Ōkamigakure began, Homi aided her brothers and the others shinobi to extinguish the fire and to save the citizens in danger. During this incident, she remained fatherless and also two of her siblings died. After her brother -  Arata Uchimoto - became Urufukage, she helped him to built again the village, funding the necessary materials which were brought from distant countries. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">She was not only a financier, but functioned as councilor to her older brother. During her councilor function she had access to considerable economic resources and even funded her brother’s majors architectural projects including a great monument for the fire victims among whom were their other brother and sister.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Furthermore, in her twenties, she introduce <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Shōken <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;"> Uchimoto to her brother - who later would become his wife - and became the godmother of their children. As a newly aunt, she loved extremely and spoiled her nephews, giving them everything they wanted. She even taught them Lighting Release techniques and told them stories about her childhood. This may be due to the fact that she never got married and have her own children.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Anywise, the kunoichi had a peaceful adulthood and became a  sensei at <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Ōkamigakure’ s Academy for several decades. She also met again, the kunoichi who provoked her in her teens and offered her refuge after the woman moved from Konohagakure in her final years.

Personality
Homi was a very independent person, since her childhood, and liked to do everything by herself. Due to this, she rarely trusted her brother’s actions during the rebuilding of the village. The kunoichi was always by her brothers and sister’ s sides when they needed help and was taking care of them, when their parents were too busy.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Homi’ s personality was geared towards to the one of leadership and achievement, she always wanting to be the best in what she did. She was an excellent organizer, because she had a very developed sense of time and knew how to manage it well. As a councilor and financer, she made good and wise investments in rebuilding <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">Ōkamigakure.

All her life she lived by self-discipline and responsibility. The kunoichi evaluated everything and she didn’t took daring chances without weighing the advantages and disadvantages first. She always believed that in life are only two ways to do things: a right way and a wrong way; this idea made her sometimes stubborn, closed minded and reluctant to agree with others. <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-size:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;">In general, she was an ambitious, patient person and had a very active mind and strong power of concentration. She liked being in control of her surroundings and everyone in her life, as she did with her brother’s marriage. <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Candara;mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman"; mso-bidi-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN-US; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">
