No, Hizashi was part of the branch-family right from the beginning because he was born after Hiashi. Sure you can argue that that's unfair, but that's how the clan is run. Same thing with Hinata's case. When Hiashi saw that Hinata couldn't handle the pressure and the power necessary to be the head of the family, he stopped he Hinata because he knew better than to push her too far, as a caring father should. This is a reason why after Hinata shown her abilities and power during most of the Part II and the War arc, he fully accepted Hinata as the right heir to the Hyuga clan. Hiashi and Hizashi were twins. I don't know what fair or unfair in this but it means both were part of main family or else both of them would be braided with curse marks. Hiashi didn't get the mark just because he was born minutes before Neji's father. No matter how you slice it Hanabi would have gotten the mark if not for Hiashi who changes the outlook of Hyuga clan after seeing his brother suffer at hands of "fate".
