I dont know anything about Hanabi at all but was she considered a part of that elite main branch as well?At underline. Maybe you misinterpret what Im saying about 'Status Symbol'. Im not saying in Hyuuga clan to consider a member as elite Ninja, all Hyuuga need to be a part of main branch. No. I'm just saying Hinata got her Elite status by being a member of main branch and not bcus her display in fight where Neji and even Hanabi is better than her according to Hiashi.
What you aren't understanding is thatI'm serious, you're a uchiha connoisseur, wasn't 2-3t sharingan rare at that point? Even MS was legend with only one known member possessing it (shisui). I don't want to believe the clan was rendered extinct in a single night my only 2 MS users. Especially since 3t and MS aren't heaven and earth in terms of power. There's a difference of course but with a whole clan of them you'd think they'd put up a bigger fight.
Skilled ninjas > numbers. Minato solo'd an entire war, Sasuke took on thousands of ninjas by himself. It doesn't particulary matter that two Uchihas killed off the entire clan because 1. they were Uchiha themselves and 2 they were both strong af.
