hyuga clan

i dont think this is a spoiler because its pointed out in the anime.
Hanabi is now the hier to the Hyuga name due to the fact that Hinata was such a failure, they just tossed Hinata aside and now she isnt worthy to a true memeber of the main family.
This is why Hanabi is still in the main family whilst Hinata is too


Hiashi is the member of the main family because he was born first whilst Nejis father is a member of the branch family because he was born second.
This is when the seperation started, not before then

Therefore any child of Hiashi's will be a main family child and any child of Neji's father or his will be a member of the branch family. Its that simple

I think it had very much to do with the fact that Hiashi and Hizashi were twins. That causes a lot of issues, and that's probably why they had to separate the two into different houses. Hinata and Hanabi have a 5 year difference between them, and this probably is the reason that they're both included in the main house. Or it could just be that every so often, every few generations or so, the houses are split. So it doesn't occur with every generation. Hiashi and Hizashi just happened to be born in one of those unlucky generations.

I wonder if Neji might one day start killing off the Souke with his power... I know people are gonna say that the souke would be able to stop Neji because of the seal thing but if Neji gets strong enough he could kill them before they have time to activate the seal.

i think they were just seperated one day... and it was ment only for that time
if children that are born in the main family they will stay there... and the ones that are born in de branch family will stay there too...
if i look at it your way the first born child should be main family... but neji is first born child

if that was the case, women should be placed in the bunke, but they are both in the souke. and a woman can become an hair of the hyuga clan, so i don&#39;t think there are any diffirences between men and women.

mmm, hinata suddenly having a bird in the cage seal would be a very interesting turn of events. but i still can&#39;t see why they would have done that, cuz it is &quot;destiny&quot; that hinata becomes heir.

I think that both Hanabi and Hinata are in the main family for now. But once a successor is chosen, they will put the seal on either one of them. Hiashi and Hizashi were twins of equal ability, so the only way to distinguish between the two was age. And it also could be when Hinata turned three, that was the year a successor was chosen (Hiashi over Hizashi). That would make sense... perhaps it had nothing to do with Hinata turning three, it just gave Neji a way to remember and describe the date his fate was sealed... literally.

its probably just me but from the looks of it in the hyuuga clan main members of the family aren&#39;t allowed to join the ninja acadamy hinata&#39;s father is never seen wearing any leaf insignia but his brother does

and hinata isn&#39;t conisdered any good by her father and was cast out thats why she is part of the ninja acadamy

the reason i say this is look at hinabi she&#39;s what 6 maybe 8 and shes not in the acadamy
