Hinata's fate?

[swallowedhalo.livejournal.com]

I'm just wondering:

Since Neji's father was the younger of the two, he was the one who was set aside into the branch house. However, that would also mean that Hanabi would also be set aside into the branch house eventually if she were not made heir. However, since Hanabi might be the heir of the Hyuuga house, does that mean that Hinata will one day have to be cursed? Either way you look at it, won't at least one of the sisters be cursed eventually?

that confuses me too. Neji said that by being born only a minute or two after Hiashi, Hizashi was doomed to the branch house, which implied to me that the twins' father was in the main house, and could only have one successor, so I thought that the main house had only the clan leader, the clan successor and whatever past leaders might still be alive, while the branch family contained the majority of the Hyuuga clan.

so unless by the time Hanabi was born, Hiashi had already decided that Hinata was too weak to become the successor, it does seem like Hanabi should have been cursed and sent to the branch family.

or maybe there's some real-life system the Hyuugas follow that I am totally unaware of, which is likely

I bet there's a lot of fanfics about it already. I wouldn't be suprised!

No, cause Naruto will "change the Hyuuga and Hinata and he will get married."

... Either way, the other will protest. After all, who would want their lover cursed?

I think main family -> main and branch family -> branch. However in the case of the two fathers they were identical twins which caused a need for seperation. Neji's father became the protector of Hinata's father. The different families may not be just for protection of the main family, but for hereditary purposes. The Hyuuga's probably intermarry for the most part and by keeping the houses seperate you are less likely to have genetics too close. Of course this also could fail because eventually everyone would have near identical dna and it would cause mutations. (Which is where the sharingan is said to come from.)

If Hiashi (Hinata's father) was unable to produce a child, I think Neji would have become main family, which is why he was not branded until Hiashi's child had lived to three. That way the main family would definately have a successor. However just because there is a successor, does not mean more children in the main family would be tossed into the branch family. Since they are from the main family, they stay in the main family.

What I don't get is why EVERYONE isn't branded. Other than control, the purpose of the seal is to keep enemies from stealing their secrets if the person is killed.
