I don't own Naruto.
"Neji, you will become my heir. Now that the Caged Bird Seal is destroyed you have become a part of the main family."
"But, Uncle, I can not become the heir, I was originally part of the Branch Family, and I do not have Main family genes."
"Actually, you do. Your father was my identical twin, so gene-wise, you, Hinata, and Hanabi have the same father, but different mothers."
"Doesn't mean I have the right to heir."
"You do. Hinata wants you to become the heir, Hanabi doesn't want to lead, and you are the eldest."
"But Uncle, what if I don't wish to lead?"
"Then I suppose Hinata shall have to."
"Maybe she'll take the giant stick out of the Hyuuga's collective ass."
"Maybe. Or maybe she'll be manipulated by our clan and become a puppet head."
"I won't let that happen, Seal or not, I'm still her protector. Naruto will help if I ask."
"Don't forget that as Hokage successor in training, he may have little time."
"He has shadow clones. They report knowledge, and he can make about a million at a time."
"True, true."
"...So, Hinata is going to stay heiress, right?"
"Yep."
"Does that mean I can still marry who I choose?"
"That would be up to her."
"Right, so that's a yes."
"I would suppose so, yes."
"...Does that mean I can invite Tenten over to dinner tonight?"
"Do as you like, I have to go do paperwork."
"You poor man."
"Probably why you declined the heir position."
"Yes it is."
And so, Hinata became clan head, Neji finally got to marry Tenten, and Naruto achieved his dream of becoming Hokage, and of course eliminating the Caged Bird Seal. 10 years after Hinata was made Clan Head, Hiashi died and joined Hiruzen and Minato in that place they went to after being released from the Shinigami's stomach. There they savoured the end of their paperwork days until they suddenly fell through the ground into a massive pile of paperwork. They are still doing said paperwork this day, with tears running down their faces.
