Does it cost less chakra to keep a Byakugan active compared to 3T Sharingan?

Just curious because we seen the Sharingan deactivate due to lack of chakra plenty of times but does the same happen to the Byakugan

Probably not. The best Hyuga in the series overused his Byakugan by just fighting Zetsu. and then couldn't even tell the difference between Kiba and akamaru.

Idk, but it's miniscule for people apart of the respective clans

good question

I believe that could be the case as well

or just poor exhaustion/draining of stamina

In the last (even though it wasn't the normal state of the byakugan) Toneri's tenseigan (Hanabi's eyes dissipated after he was exhausted/tired)


In the anime there was that filler episodes of Hinata overexerting her byakugan causing eyestrain and temporary eye fatigue


but it being chakra itself that leads to not being able to use it no more is up in the air since Kishi didn't canonically give the byakugan enough screen time to play with the whole idea

Neji's Byakugan isnt pure and not the best Byakugan.

They're both taxing so what does it matter beside bait for wars

Any difference is probably minuscule and it depends on the user's stamina in the end.

Nah it was Hiashi > Neji > Hanabi >>> Hinata. Now Neji died so it's Hanabi >> Hiashi >>> Hinata. Hiashi also said some ish like the blood of the Hyuga flows stronger in Neji than any other or something like that.

Neji is def. stronger than Hinata and Hanabi but their Byakugan was better since part 1. It was stated.

Hinata's Byakugan is in no way inferior to Neji's according to actual facts from the databooks.

But it isn't tho. Neji was just the best Hyuga in the series even Hiashi nearly stated it.

Didn't say his Byakugan tho.

I think her Byakugan can see further than Neji's also but has Hinata ever strained her eyes in the manga?

A lot of people have had Sharingan/Byakugan implanted onto them and can't deactivate it but it didn't hurt their stamina much so the difference probably isn't significant. But technically, it would depend on how well adjusted the user is to the eye so a Byakugan user who's used it since childhood would need less than a same age Uchiha who had just awakened their Sharingan.

I think based on what we've seen, a Hyuga can strain their Byakugan and will be forced to deactivate it. An Uchiha such as Itachi can keep their Kekkei Genkai activated for hours without problems, the non-eternal Mangekyo is the only straining part of the Sharingan as a KKG.

So, I'd have to say that the Sharingan is easier to keep activated for a longer amount of time.

I believe it does consume chakra.

How isnt it pure? Is his mother not a Hyuga?

Like Naruto with Boruto?

Toneri chose Hanabi's eyes because she was from the main house and had pure Byakugan.

Neji is from the slave family and his Byakugan wasn't even as good as Hinata's in terms of range.

Pretty sure his Byakugan is a weak one not pure.

First of all, Neji was dead by then.

And second of all, he has main branch heritage, and he's a full blooded Hyuga. His Byakugan is as pure as can be, his inability to see as far as Hinata hardly mattered in the face of his skill comparison. She had nothing on him but farther eye-sight. It's literally like me saying that Itachi's eyes are more pure than Sasuke's because of his genjutsu prowess. Some people have specialties when it comes to their dojutsu.

Main house just means you're more inbred than everyone else.

Actually he wasn't just fighting white zetsu. He pretty much kept it active for the entire day, even using it as keeping watch for incoming enemies.

Fixed.
