Hello Admin, I'm giving this to you due to some information I found on DOA.

According to a Japanese source site, https;//choujin.50webs.com, the incident at Mugen Tenshin that led to Hayate's near death and eventually led to Kasumi's departure took place about one year apart from each other.

The incident happened while Hayate trained outside the village, but Shiden noticed he didn't return, so he sent the clan to find him. A month afterwards Hayate was found. His spinal column was severely damaged, and his nervous system was shot.

After Shiden found this out, he had Kasumi be next in line due to Hayate's half dead state. On her eighteenth birthday she would be the next master, but in her heart she felt even then, that her brother was the only real fit for the job, so she left to find Raidou herself, knowing that she had broken the shinobi code in the process.
