On the Hyuga leader's, or his brother's head, why did Kishi put a Swastika? He could've put a circle or some other geometric shape. Why that one?

In East Asia the swastika is a chinese character meaning infinite.

As the people have said before me it was a different meaning then that of which many sadly know, if i remember correctly it's actually a Buddhist or Hindu symbol meaning roughly "to be good".

That's what I read, but what's that have to do with the Hyuga's? All their turmoil and hate?

Well think about it, it's meaning is "to be good" roughly, so when they go to harm the main branch it is making them be good XD , plus it's a seal that seals theirs eyes away upon death or when someone tries to steal their eyes.

I don't see why people are making any reference to the German Swastika. It has a completely different meaning to them.
