Translation 1
The blood lineage of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who ate the fruit of the God Tree. That is the root that is attached to the faint breath that spreads throughout the current Ninja world. The representative is the "Byakugan", carried by Kaguya.
This is what the Hyūga Clan has been passing on until now, inheriting both the Gentle Fist and seeing all Chakra tenketsu. Also, even in Ninja from destroyed Clans, remnants of blood
can apparently be seen.
Translation 2
The blood relatives of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki who ate God Tree's fruit. In the current Ninja world a faint breath from the source (root) spreads. (?This might not be right). Represented by Kaguya's Byakugan.
Both the Hyūga Clan's ability to see every Chakra tenketsu and Gentle Fist, were inherited in the present time from this legend. Also, even in Ninja from destroyed clans, remnants of blood can apparently be seen.

Byakugan has counters but sharingan counters and enhances all of these abilities.
Explain. Everything outside of Casting gennjutsu and copying techs is already available to a greater degree to the Byakugan, alongside exclusive powers like Jyuken, 360 vision, penetrative vision, expansive vision.
Someone with the byakugan more likely to lose a fight with a sharingan user for that simple reason.
How lol. Genjutsu is fodder. Ninjutsu gets negged by Jyuken. It comes down to taijutsu and Byakugan > Sharingan in that because of Jyuken, better foreseeing powers (precog as most people put it), and the ability to slow down enemy taijutsu.
Byakugan is not an answer for everything but sharingan can effect the entire flow of a fight.
Ninjutsu? Destroyed by Jyuken. Genjutsu? Seen through to a greater degree than what Sharingan entails. Taijutsu? Domination in that field.
I would say it is.
