Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San
Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the kekkei
genkai of the Hyuga clan. Bearers of this
Dõjutsu have almost featureless white eyes.
When the Byakugan is activated, the user's
pupils become more distinct, and the veins
near their temples bulge as the blood flow to
their eyes is increased. While having the
Byakugan deactivated, Hyuga ninjas have a
normal eyesight and no special addition to
their vision. While low rank Hyugas will need
to perform a sequence of hand seals ( Horse
→ Tiger with lifting just index fingers →
Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare
→ Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat
→ Boar with nearly straightened fingers →
Snake with the right index finger lifted
straight up) to activate their Byakugan,
Hyuga masters will be able to do so without
the need for any hand seals and even have it
active passively for long periods of time. Once
activated, the user gains access to all of the
abilities the Byakugan bestows upon them.
While, like other Dojutsu, its main ability is to
see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient
beings, the Byakugan adds a complete new
detail and dimension to that ability. The user
can not only see chakra and the chakra flow,
but also the circulatory system and even the
361 tenketsu. Added to this ability, once
activated the Byakugan grants the user a
near perfect field of vision 360º around
himself (up to long-range if he's a master).
This field of vision has only one blind spot,
slightly above the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and
facing backwards but enables the user to
actually even see his own chakra circulatory
system and chakra flow, which explains why
all Hyuugas are so adept and masterfull of
precise chakra control. The last ability the
Byakugan has is the ability to zoom in and out,
focusing on specific things, piercing beyond
matter and energy alike, as well as chakra.
This specific ability allows the user to see
pass most barriers as well as physical matter
(like rock walls, ground, etc) but also energy,
being able to focus beyond chakra that might
be in front of them or other energies. The
zooming ability is enhanced as the user
becomes more adept at using his eyes and can
even reach distances above 20kms away. Some
Hyugas have shown a great awareness
regarding agressiveness as well as killing
intent, detecting such intentions and
emotions from others with more ease than
most.
Note: Activation spends a move from the users
own move count but once the user reaches
Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over
Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it
passively without spending a move. Because of
its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can
keep it active throughout the whole fight as
long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact
when used against a Byakugan user requires
direct eye contact between enemy pupil and
user's pupil
Note: Must be activated to use Gentle Fist
(Jyuken)
Note: Cannot be blinded by matter, chakra,
light or energy
Note: Its tracking abilities are similar to that
of a 3 Tomoe Sharingan
