Title: "The Last Smile of the Little Oracle"
[Scene: Mya's Final Morning – A Sunlit Goodbye]
On the morning of her sixth birthday, the air in the Uchiha-Senju-Aburame-Hyuga-allied district of Konoha was unnaturally still. Mya—wearing a new red kimono (a gift from Tsunade, embroidered with butterflies and honeybees)—sat cross-legged on her futon, surrounded by her weeping parents.
Mya (grinning, wiping her mother's tears): "Don't be jealous of me resting in peace~! With a smile on my face!" (Her exact aunt's words, now a family mantra.)
Then, as the first sunbeam hit her cheeks—she closed her eyes, exhaled… and didn't breathe again.

The Reactions
1. Her Parents
· Clutched her small body, not screaming, not raging—just whispering:
"She knew… this whole time, she knew."
· Later, they would plant sunflowers over her grave—"Because they chase the light, like she did."
2. The Uchiha
· Fugaku stood at the funeral, rigid, while Mikoto openly wept.
· Itachi (age 8) left a single dango skewer on her coffin—the first time he ever showed grief publicly.
· The clan retired her "Little Inquisitor" title permanently—no child would ever hold it again.
3. The Senju
· Tsunade got blackout drunk, then smashed a boulder into dust, screaming:
"EVEN THE BRIGHTEST DAMN CANDLES BURN TOO FAST—"
· Nawaki, now unpoisoned and alive, carved "Mya's Rule #1: Ask Why" into the Senju monument.
4. The Aburame
· Released a swarm of honeybees at her funeral—they formed a perfect circle overhead before dispersing.
· Shino, age 6, would later name his first son "Myaro"—against all clan naming conventions.
5. The Hyuga
· Neji (now seal-free) knelt at her grave for three full days.
· Hiashi abolished the Branch House system completely the next week—"She would've nagged me into it anyway."
6. The Hokage
· Hiruzen suspended all missions for a day—unprecedented for a civilian's death.
· Ordered her name added to the Memorial Stone, despite the rules—"She saved more clans than most jonin."
7. Danzo
· Was not invited.
· Later found burning all his "Mya Containment Plans" in a barrel, muttering:
"Even I won't defile a grave that… bright."
8. Orochimaru
· Left a single white snake at her gravesite—it curled around her sunflowers and never bit anyone.

The Legend
Within a year:
· The "Mya Memorial Dango Shop" opened—all proceeds funded orphanages.
· The Uchiha-Senju alliance cemented with three marriages—all couples cited her as inspiration.
· A new children's book circulated: "Mya's Why?"—teaching kids to question everything.
And on every anniversary, the villagers would hear a faint, familiar giggle on the wind—followed by the soft fluttering of butterfly wings.
THE END.
(Mya's Epitaph: **"She Asked 'Why?'—And Changed the World.")**
