What does Byakugan do besides the 360 degrees telescopic vision? out of the three blessed eyes the Byakugan seems to be really really underpowered, Sharingan has MS and EMS which does Amaterasu, Izanami, Izanagi, Susanoo, Tsukoyomi,etc. while Rinnegan has the six paths, but Byakugan only has one use.

Yeah and it can see chakra but thats about it. Being able to see through stuff is really useful though

I do think Byakugan is uderpowered. Since the Hyaga are decendants of the Uchiaha it should have extra powers.

I thought Kakashi said that the Sharingan was derived from the Byakugan, he said that during the Chunin exams when Neji and Naruto fought.

Yeah that too but it isn't that much compared to the Sharingan, and even more so the Rinnegan, no great offense or defense powers does it provide.

I don't know if you mean just the Byakugan or the Hyuuga as a whole, but Gentle Fist and Kaiten are pretty strong as well, at least when it was first introduced.

Wow, did he ? I must not remember. Sharingan is Haxed noone would want to have the Byakugan.

A plot error/contradiction that I've pointed out. Not only did Kakashi state that the Uchiha clan's origins lies within the Hyuuga clan, but he also stated that the Hyuuga was Konoha's oldest clan. Obviously we know neither of these two to be the truth with the later information we're provided with... So I don't know what to tell you, at this point, I guess you'd have to throw what Kakashi said out the window.


But as for the Byakugan, it provides you with quite a distanced viewing so you can distinguish targets before they reach within your vicinity. I think that is very adequate itself.

Yes he did, he commented about that when he was watching Neji and Naruto fight.

Wasn't that during Neji vs Hinata?

Kakashi and Sasuke were late and Naruto vs Neji was the first match of the finals of which he nor Sasuke ever saw.

It is great for finding hidden enemies and finding the enemies weak spots :)
