Okay, we all know that viridian is a fantastic writer. The conspiracy has a pretty obvious goal: drive Naruto to the point where Danzo (the Hitler Wannabe) can have him put in ROOT (thus why the banker said ANBU is to be called in the event of Naruto turning violent). Hiashi is helping likely because Danzo helped him arrange for Kurenai's team to be destroyed. What I'm curious is as to why Hiashi acts like this. Viridian has enumerated numerous times that there is a reason for him acting like a complete asshole. I believe it has something to do with Hizashi. The whole deal with Hizashi being branded for being the second-born doesn't make much sense from a logical standpoint (her and the spare) because the Clan wouldn't accept being ruled by one with the Caged Bird Seal. My bet is that Hizashi had to take the Seal because A) he fell in love with a Branch family member (which Hiashi saw as a betrayal) or B) He committed some at of betrayal (why?).
Thoughts?
