In chapter 671, we knew that Kaguya (Hagoromo's Mother) has Byakugan it was stated by Hagoromo himself. From what Hagoromo said "Besides Byakugan, his mother also had Sharingan" Therefore this heavenly implied that she possess a Byakugan before she got a Sharingan when she ate a fruit.
Thus this lead me to believe the fact that she was not even from this plane means that the Byakugan in its purest form was a celestial doujutsu. The Byakugan belonged to the Ototsuki - the 'Moon People' or sky people... whatever we want to call.
Playing off of the Princess Kaguya reference, it may be possible that Hinata as a descendant of the Otsutsuki, deal with the fruit per her shared destiny with Naruto. I don't want to carried away but Hinata possibly will become 'snared' by the Juubi and 'reborn' to be Kaguya (who was found in a glowing bamboo shoot, according to legend).
The Sages Origin
Neji & The Six Paths Hermit
Kushina & Hinata
The cloud kidnapped both Kushina & Hinata back when they were young. But why exactly were they kidnapped?
Well, for Hinata, it was her Kekkai Genkkai Dojutsu, the Byakugan. And in Kushina’s case, it was due to her special Uzumaki chakra. But as we know, both of these incidents ended in epic failure thanks to Minto & Hiashi.
See the connection between these two? Both of them were kidnapped by the Lightning country because of their special powers. Where do these special powers originate from? The Sage of Six paths!
Now, if we continue on, we also know that the Lightning country had previously tried to capture the Nine-tails during the time of the Second Hokage, Tobirama. Of course they failed again. However, it was shown that they already had two tailed beasts in their position, the 8 tailed Octopus-Ox & the 2 tailed Cat. They also were shown to have been searching for the Treasured tools of the Sage of Six paths, and it was shown that they’d gathered all 5 of them.
Kinkaku & Ginkaku have also been hinted at being Uzumakis, due to the fact that they have a strong resemblance to the Sage & Bijuu Naruto, and they were able to host the Kyuubi, something only Uzumakis have done. They were also hinted at being descendants of the sage by Ay.
So, to recap:
The Cloud has tried to Steal the Byakugan.
They’ve tried to obtain Uzumaki Chakra.
They’ve tried to capture the Nine-tailed Fox.
They’ve had two Uzumaki members in their country.
They had/have two tailed beasts in their position.
They have gathered all five Treasured Tools of the Sage.
See the connection? Everything they have or have tried to take are in some way or another related to the Sage…..
SIDE NOTE:The cloud GREATLY desired the Byakugan for their own keeping going as far as to even kidnap a little Hinata. So, why not go after the Sharingan? Actually, now that I think about it, it seems like more non-Konohaians know about the Sharingan than they know about the Byakugan, as seen by Zabuza. It’s seems clear to me that the main house has been hiding secrets of the Byakugan from everyone for a long time, why else would they take the extra precaution to give their Candet branch family members the “Caged Bird” Cursed seals? It’s always said “Secrets of the Byakugan,” WHAT secrets?

"The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (竹取物語 Taketori Monogatari?), also known as Princess Kaguya (かぐや姫 Kaguya Hime?, 赫映姫 or 輝夜姫), is a 10th-century Japanese folktale. It is considered the oldest extant Japanese narrative[1][2] and an early example of proto-science fiction.[3]
It primarily details the life of a mysterious girl called Kaguya-hime, who was discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant. She is said to be from Tsuki-no-Miyako (月の都 "The Capital of the Moon")."
Clearly, Kishimoto is using the Moon Princess, Kaguya, in Naruto.
Since we are talking about Naruto and Moons:
"In the Buddhist Śaśajâtaka (Jataka Tale 316),[3] a monkey, an otter, a jackal, and a rabbit resolved to practice charity on the day of the full Moon (Uposatha), believing a demonstration of great virtue would earn a great reward.
When an old man begged for food, the monkey gathered fruits from the trees and the otter collected fish, while the jackal wrongfully pilfered a lizard and a pot of milk-curd. The rabbit, who knew only how to gather grass, instead offered its own body, throwing itself into a fire the man had built. The rabbit, however, was not burnt. The old man revealed himself to be Śakra and, touched by the rabbit's virtue, drew the likeness of the rabbit on the Moon for all to see. It is said the lunar image is still draped in the smoke that rose when the rabbit cast itself into the fire.
A version of this story can be found in the Japanese anthology Konjaku Monogatarishū, where the rabbit's companions are a fox and a monkey."
It's quite possible Kishimoto is drawing from this story, as well, for the path of Naruto, Hinata, and possibly Sasuke (or perhaps Sarutobi... monkeys and such).
Since the powers she utilized were clearly not Ninjutsu (as those were developed by the Sage... or... Ninshuu which was later formed into Ninjutsu... same difference). The Hyuuga have never once been depicted as using so much as a substitution - even when it would have been exceptionally advantageous. Their abilities, also, have no relationship to ninjutsu.
Which led me to believe that whatever Kaguya used was related more closely to the Hyuuga's abilities with the Hyuuga lineage predating the Sage.

The Sages Origin
As we all know and what has been stated by Kishi is that whoever possesses the Rinnegan will have the power to control all of the elements, and control the Yin and the Yang. The Hyuga clan, has the power of the 8 Trigrams. In Japanese, the 8 Trigrams represent all the elements.
During Hinata and Neji’s battle in the Chunnin exams, after activating their Byakugans, Kakashi states that there are that the Uchiha’s Sharingan is an off-shoot of the Hyuga’s Byakugan. Kakashi even goes on to state that the Uchiha clan itself possibly stems from the Hyuuga clan.
Kakashi also states, as a fact, that the Hyuuga are the oldest clan of Konoha. This goes to show that the Hyuuga do indeed pass the Uchiha in their birth/formation.Another thing to note is that Kakashi says something about the Rinnegan being a mutation, which could hold some truth.
So, according to Kakashi, the Sharingan came from the Byakugan, the Rennigan is a mutation, & the Hyuga are possibly the oldest clan in Konoha.
Now please take note that Hagoromo was the first wielder of the Rinnegan. Keep in mind that Hagoromo resembles Both Asura and Indra will and when you combined both Senju (Ashura) and Uchiha DNA (Indra) you will able to awaken and mutate into Rinnegan as it was explained by SO6P.
How did Hagoromo obtain it?
Obviously, he didn’t gain it magically. It had to come from a source. But what?
GENES.
It came from his mother. The power she obtained from the fruit may be a dojutsu in which she awakened her third eyes.
"The Rinnegan is obviously more powerful than the Byakugan. How could that be?"
If you analyze the abilities given by each Dojutsu, it makes sense that when combined, it provides one hell of an arsenal for an individual.
The Rinnegan provides A HELL LOT OF strength and stamina (not to mention god-like abilities), and the Byakugan provides A HELL LOT OF agility and precision.
You may train to be agile and precise for the Rinnegan, much like what PAIN did with the six paths creating a wider field of vision, but it never has the same comforts the Byakugan provides which only requires one person. Additionally, the rinnegan is not able to provide the “great eyesight” that the byakugan has. It cannot see the chakra flow within individuals or zoom in on objects at a far distance.
The byakugan has the ability to see the chakra flow of individuals, they have a more precise way of directing all their chakra into their attacks. That’s why it seems like it provides great physical abilities like the Gentle fist, the trademark of the Hyuga clan. The only way to advance their ability is to train to make up for the lack of physical strength Byakugan provides.

Neji & The Six Paths Hermit
Neji Reappearance!
Yes! I know I know this may sound crazy but you must hear it out
I just would like to point things out since almost no one in this base seem to aware with possibly Neji reappearance Considering what Hinata said in the VIZ Scan when she quote:
" Neji... Please Protect Naruto!! "
For the record, the way Hinata's text bubble was designed in 662 when she was praying to Nejis shows another big indication that she did in fact faint. Since the SO6P Confronted Naruto and explained how all the spirits migrated and passed down to every generations I don't find it surprised that Neji Spirit will show up and emerged as Phoenix as a request to protect Naruto.
I've also noticed some Similarities between Neji and The SO6P
1. If the Sage's direct desendants were the Uzumaki & Hyuga, as I believe, then his Hyuga side members were Taijutsu users and the Uzumaki side members used Sealing Techs.
One of Neji's team members is a Taijutsu user (Rock Lee) and his other Team member (Tenten) uses Sealing Techs. And not to forget Tenten got to handle one of the Treasured Tools Of Sage.
2. Neji's hobby was meditation according to the Databooks, And Meditation is one of the most important things for a Sage, which is what the Sage was, obviously.
3. Neji is standing in a similar pose to The Sage on the cover of Volume 64 with: his back turned, facing The Jubbi, and his arms raised wide.
Now, in the image below, take a look at the symbol painted on to the wall behind Sasuke...... It bares a strong resemblance to the symbol on Hinata's jacket in Part 1.
Now we know that The Sage made the Uchiha Tablet. So it's very interesting to find a symbol at the Naka Shrine which is identical to a symbol found on the clothes of The Hyuga Clan Heiress, where the Sage's Legacy is kept, .
Also, note that Sasuke's amaterasu orb also resembles these two previously mentioned symbols.

Chinese Guardian lions, Yin Yang, & Wuji
The user forms two large lion-shaped shrouds of chakra around their hands, then attacks the opponent with them.
Meant to ward off evil spirits, komainu statues are almost identical, but one has the mouth open, the other closed. This is a very common characteristic in religious statue pairs at both temples and shrines. This pattern has a symbolic meaning. The open mouth is pronouncing the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, which is pronounced "a", while the closed one is uttering the last letter, which is pronounced "um", to represent the beginning and the end of all things.
Here's something else I'd like to point out, from Taosim belifs, whom, as must of you probably know, have greatly inspired the Hyuga clan, particularly the Gentle fist style, which is based of of several variations of Taoism Martial arts that focus on soft yet deadly blows to certain parts of the body.....anyways, I'm getting off track here.
Wuji is known as the beggining of all things. In this void of nothingness, something begins to stir. This event causes the creation of Yin & Yang, both in an eternal battle to over come the other, yet it is impossible, since yin can't exist without yang, and vice versa. This is why yang has a portion of yin in it and why yin has a portion of yang in it.
Here's something more interesting. Do you know what this "void of nothingness" is represented by? A plain white circle.
This white I eventually ends up as a Yin yang sign (those two circles between them simply demonstrate the change of the void to Yin-Yang). This leads me to believe (more like HOPE) that the Byakugan will get a V2 that'll make her eyes look like the YinYang sign, possibly with the 8 trigrams' signs circling the eyeball on her skin. Though there are OTHER reasons that make me think that Hinata may gain the Elder Son's eyes, you know, those spirally eyes, but I'll get to that on another theory of mine.
Alright, so, back to the Guardian lions.
Komainu strongly resemble Chinese Guardian Lions and originate from Tang dynasty China. The Chinese guardian lions are believed to have been influenced by lion pelts and lion depictions introduced through trade from either the Middle East or India, countries where the lion existed and was a symbol of strength. During the Nara period the pair always consisted, as in the rest of Asia, of two lions.
These Guardian Lions are also part of Taoism.
See the size of that thing? There's no doubt in my mind that that is one hell of a technique....
Another thing I'd like to mention is that this jutsu was only shown OUNCE and then completely ignored, even through out the war. Hinata's only been shown air-palming things rather than using this. Kishimoto seems to do this A LOT (foreshadowing) throughout the series, such as when he first shows Itachi's sharingan or alludes to the Shinigami mask all the way back in the three-way Sannin Battle. I think it would be nice if Hinata got a full-body Guardian Lion, no? Something like this...
