Ever since last chapter released; there is strong misconception about how Momoshiki has the ability to see the future presumably because of his so called "Godly Power". Rather, his ability to observe really well and was likely able to "read" boruto like how Neji read Hinata like a open book knowing the fact that the Byakugan far surpasses the Sharingan in term of insight.

Most people like to believe that the Byakugan needs new super ocular power to be competent against MS sharingan and rinnegan. The Byakugan does not posses powerhouse like the Sharingan/Rinnegan does but rather it's much more reliant on how skilled the User is with jutsu and abilities because unlike the Sharingan; it is a weapon of it's own.

Even poor intelligent person and or being incompetent shinobi can make great use of a Sharingan, yet it takes far more effort to get your mileage out of the Byakugan. But once you do, a Byakugan user could rival the Mangekyou or perhaps even far greater.


Boruto falls in this principle because he is a prodigy likewise his uncle Neji. Because if you're not strong talent shinobi, the only good use with the Byakugan is to be self aware of the situation.
We know for a fact that Boruto can perform 3 chakra natures affinities as well as he invented Vanishing Rasengan by applying Wind Nature. However What's more is that the databook listed that Bolt has other Ninjutsu listed.

He has Splash Bullets, Gale Palm and Purple Lightning. Keep in mind; Bolt also has really high stats in Dexterity and his Taijutsu, Evasion and Ninjutsu are all above average which would put the Byakugan into good use since Boruto is proficient in battle.


Boruto Uzumaki

Attributes
Strength··············120 Dexterity·············160
Intelligence···········90 Chakra················140
Perception············130 Negotiation············90

Skills
Evasion ★★★★☆
Unarmed Hand-to-hand Fighting (Sudekakutō) ★★★☆☆
Ninjutsu ★★★★☆
…and others

Ninja Arts
Water Release: Splash Bullets (Suiton: Himatsudan)
Wind Release: Gale Palm (Fūton: Reppūshō)
Lightning Release: Purple Lightning (Raiton: Shiden)
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu
…and others


Combining the Byakugan with elements should also create powerful synergies: Wind Release would basically improve every Gentle Fist jutsu. Lighting Release would add greater piercing and numbing damage. Fire Release would increase Vacuum palm and Rotation damage. Earth and Water could simply be used for various abilities. The most broken would be Storm Release since guided laser blasts would basically give Gentle Fist an infinite range.

Chakra from every tenketsu is more broken than you think. A byakugan user can do this from anything. Someone is backstabbing? Emit a wave of fire from your back. You can emit chakra from your hands, feet, knees, eyes (as seen in the Anime, and as one can logically deduce, the eyes are tenketsu), head, everything.


If Bolt Curse Seal has any ties with Sage mode then the whole sensing/seeing combo is already pretty broken, but it gets even more extreme: Sage mode's improved resilience would synergize well with Gentle Fist (reduced risks) while Frog Kumite is in a way a better Gentle Fist. Increased firepower from senjutsu wouldn't hurt either.

Combine the 4 and you have an insanely broken combo.



Conclusion:
The Byakugan doesn't need new powers. It already has the potential to rival the Mangekyou and Rinnegan. Its existing powers are simply untapped and underused.

It's no surprise though, Kishimoto created a very hax power with Byakugan and had to leave any users of it out of legitamte fights to keep things from getting boring. One or two tenketsu closed, and Chakra is disabled. Probably would take 3 pages max :lol And that's ignoring Gentle Fist's explosive properties, Ninjutsu destruction, and defensive capabilities.

I was just talking about back then, when Neji use to talk crap ... and Naruto proved him wrong
Still, if Hinata is going to give her eye to Bolt and/or die, she'd better get an all out fight to showcase her powers. It's bad enough that Neji died for Naruto in such a poorly-written way, we don't need a repeat of that with Bolt and Hinata. Especially considering Hinata's character dev was about becoming stronger (like Lee/Naruto), yet Kishi refuses to show her doing so.

Bruh, Byakugan already canonically has more potential than EMS. Kaguya proved it.
Oh yes; from the moment when Kaguya can literally use other varient abilities in conjunction with her Byakugan to shut off their chakra network and obliterate Sasuke PS like hotcakes. Man all the potential with the Hyuga have been completely wasted.

That's a good point that the Byakugan requires more to be skilled with it but I do think it has abilities not yet seen example being the Kaguya showed
Maybe

Bolt is going to be an interesting ninja. Naruto's son, a mixture of Hyuuga abilities, and Sasuke as his master.
I'm really looking forward to his character although I wouldn't hold my tongue on it.

It's no surprise though, Kishimoto created a very hax power with Byakugan and had to leave any users of it out of legitamte fights to keep things from getting boring.

Imagine how broken Himawari will become if she is going to be display with her hyuga techniques being developed.

Yep. If you look at Kaguya's Rabbit Needle attack, only ONE manages to strike Sasuke's Chakra Point and that alone prevents him from manifesting Susano'O wings in order to fly, yet, because she was simply using a needle as opposed to chakra, Sasuke was able to remove it, which wouldn't be possible with Gentle Fist.

Even Kaguya couldn't do anything spectacular with these eyes. Stop overhyping them.
:lol Why am I always forced to pull this out?

Manga was rushed ... there are still things unexplained -

- Neji didnt die in poorly written way... you know why ? ...

" Because... I was called a genius ... "

I hope it's Hiashi who gives his eye. Or Hyuga elder.
I just had a bad feeling that it won't be Hiashi knowing that Bolt never once interacted him or the elders. Atleast to the best of our knowledge.

Kaguya used Godly Air Palm capable of destroying PS which all stems from the Chakra Control granted by the Byakugan
