Hinata has never felt as free as she does the moment her father burns the cursed seal into her forehead. In that moment, the one preceding her banishment from the Clan, she goes from being Heir or Hyuuga or even Hyuuga Hinata – she becomes simply Hinata – a person rather than an extension of her clan. No longer will her father be allowed to berate her for how her actions reflect on the clan, no longer will her every move be summed up and evaluated by the Clan Elders, no longer centre of the Clan’s attention – in that moment she smiles.
