back than in an old episode as naruto and kakashi fought deidara .. and neji tracked deidara in the anime episode deidara said something like " i wonder whats the diference betwen your byakugan and itachis sharinga "yeah, i thought about this some time ago, too. if i remember right then it was kakashi who stated that the sharingan came from the byakugan. i think
back when kishi gave us this info he did not think as far ahead as some peaople here think he did. as they believe that everything that happened so far and will happen was planned by kishi right from the start. this would mean that he changed his plans and made the sharingan the more powerfull and more importent eye technique. so kishi got 2 options:
1. he gives the byakugan an important role in madaras plan to become hole. but i don't see that coming cause it does not fit in this all about sharingan plot.
2 he makes kakashi lie or better kakashi just didin't know better![]()
so he is not forgeting about it, anyway the byakugan is to much integrated in this anime to be forgotten or put aside.
i really hope neji will get stronger ... because the anime is becoming one sided. back then neji rock lee and the other ninjas where pretty strong and as they grow up they didnt really change at all.
a big problem for naruto and the others will be the kyubis madara ghatered ... 7 of them at once will be dificult
