it was abadoned by kishi to devolop the sharringan from what we have seen its the weaker of the 3 main eye types but you never know neji might just go on a rampage killing madara,kabuto+zetsu would that make you think it was the most powerful dojutsu ?

A ninja can usually only emit chakra from there hands or feet, but a hyuuga with byakugan can emit chakra from there entire body. But although a ninja could posibbly use palms if they had very good chakra control, but it wouldn't be as effect as a hyuuga palms since byakugan allows you to see chakra points.

My point was, that if you had chakra control. You are bound to hit the right spot sometime if you just shove your chakra the whole time.
I got nothing against Byakugan. the doujutsu ranks are Rin > Bya > Sharinit was abadoned by kishi to devolop the sharringan from what we have seen its the weaker of the 3 main eye types but you never know neji might just go on a rampage killing madara,kabuto+zetsu would that make you think it was the most powerful dojutsu ?
I even got a Undefeated Hyuga Bio and i mastered Jyuuken.

Neji explains that the level of chakra control used in Jyuuken, even basic techniques, is beyond that of a non-Hyuuga shinobi, even if they are highly ranked.
And as far as doujutsu go, Byakugan > Sharingan.
Sharing can be blinded by an overwhelming mass of chakra, where as Byakugan can both see the chakra and be capable of seeing through it. There's also the range of vision, which negates any reason for needing to be capable of tracking an opponent's movement. (If they're moving too fast for you to keep your eyes on them, it wont really matter if you can see all around you without moving your head. Essentially, there is absolutely no means of hiding from Byakugan. A Byakugan user can always see his opponent, as well as any attack the enemy may try to use to surprise him.

Rather than seek out the weaknesses, let's look at the possitives of the Byakugan.
X-Ray Vision - The Byakugan allows the shinobi to see through just about anything. This gives the Byakugan user the advantage in just about any scenario that your typical ninja would go through (sneaking missions, save & rescue, assassinations, etc).
Chakra Points - While it's true that a skilled-enough ninja could be capable of releasing their chakra in thin-enough amounts to strike the chakra points if they, the chances of them hitting that thin point at random are slim. The Byakugan allows the viewer to see those chakra points and see where, exactly, they have to strike. This is more efficient and highly effective (it could be assumed that chakra points could be different for each person based on their nature, kekkai genkai, etc).
Full Vision - With exception of that one point (which Neji was able to find a way around it), the Byakugan gives the user just about complete vision of the field. This prevents sneak attacks, suprise techniques, etc. It also makes the viewer a valuable member of a tracking team (as they showed in the Rescue Sasuke Arc).
While Kishimoto made the Sharingan and Rinnegan seem like ultimate eye techniques, there's no denying that Byakugan can be just as dangerous with the right person behind it. It's far from useless, but it's not being wielded by any of the main characters or villains, so it's not focused on as much.

This also in terms of sight the byakugan can see more than the sharingan can, even kakashi said the byakugan can see things even the shaingan cant (in the neji vs hinata fight)
Also it is perfect for gathering information, since it can see though solid objects, can identify enemy ninja from a long distance by seeing their chakras
I don't think its the weakest. Kishi just focus on rinnengan and sharingan. So based on the characteristics of all three, byakugan is a good runner up for 2nd place. But we really can't say. Byakugan might have a 2nd stage like sharingan has Ms and Ems.

I don't know how hard it is, but without the vision doing the same as a hyuuga is meaningless. you have too low chance to hit the chakra points and your enemy won't let you hit him randomly hoping you can defeat him.
lol byakugan its beast dude O.O
360 vision, range vision, can see through objects and can see chackra flow/points.
byakugan doesn't make you push chackra to your hand thats gentle fist and its used to destroy chackra points and that makes your chackra flow stop.

So being able to see, and turn off and on a person's chakra points so that they can no longer channel chakra or manipulate certain chakra points to have a desired effect on a person, like magnetizing a persons body so that all metal clings to them is a weak Doujutsu?
Yea.....ok.

The only question I have is at what point does Sharingan surpass Byakugan? I think it is with the Mangekyou sharingan. Because the 1 tomoed, 2 tomoed, and 3 tomoed sharingan aren't better than the Byakugan, but I think it surpasses it when they get MS. Just because of all the techniques you can get, Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, Susano'o, etc. Because it wouldn't matter if Neji can see every attack coming at him when he is in an illusion that warps the perception of time, burns through anything, and is quoted to be the ultimate defense. Combine that with most Uchiha's power with Fire techniques. And their ability to read and copy moves, and see through an opponents taijutsu. They quickly surpass the Byakugan. The only way I could see Neji defeating Sasuke with MS is if he quickly blocked all of his chakra points off, so he couldn't use any eye techniques. But without a quick win, Neji would lose
