Hyuga Clan
The Clan: The Hyuga clan is one of Konoha's four noble clans, as is considered by some to be the most powerful clan currently in Konoha. Our clan has two houses within the clan. The main house, and the branch house. The main house has the responsibility of running the clan, and the branch house protects the clan, and the main house. The members of the branch house have a seal placed on their head at birth. With a single hand seal, members of the main house are able to kill, or cause pain to the members of the branch house. This also serves to protect the secrets of the clan, because those who are marked with the seal have their Byakugans destroyed upon death.
The Byakugan: The Hyuga clan possesses one of the Three Great Dōjutsus , Byakugan, . The Byakugan, , is a type of jutsu that allows it's user to do the following things: See chakra flow, have telescopic vision, and be able to see nearly 360 degrees around oneself.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths: One of the Hyuga's biggest strengths is their unique fighting style known as Jyuuken, which is considered to be the best taijutsu method in Konoha. By using their byakugan, Hyuga clan members see the 361 tenketsu on the human body. The user then engages the opponent in close range combat and strikes at the tenketsu, generally using either open palm attacks, or by pointing two fingers. When they hit the tenketsu, the user expels their own chakra into the targeted tenketsu, altering the chakra flow of the opponent, and closing the tenketsu. Due to the close relationship between the chakra network and the circulatory system, doing this can also have devastating affects on the heart, and circulatory system.
Weaknesses: All though its one of the three great Doujutsus, the Byakugan has two weaknesses. The most well known one is that the Byakugan has a blind spot, which is located just behind the back of the neck. Second, because of the wide field of vision, the user is usually maintaining eye contact with the opponent, which means that the user is very prone to visual Genjutsu.
Four known Members in the Manga
Neji Hyuga
Hinata Hyuga
Hiashi Hyūga
Hizashi Hyūga
Good! however to be elaborate,
Hyuga clan is among the strongest existing clan in konoha possessing
The Byakugan, one of the 3 doujutsus as their kekei genkai. People born into the clan are genius and are known of their prowess in taijutsu. Example is Neji who was the best among his peers having beaten Lee everytime they fought and even the senseis aknowledged him.
Now lets move to the next one i supposed you are to lay emphasis on
"Byakugan" is one of the three doujutsu which the hyuga clan posses. It is said to be ready for activation as soon as they were born which is quite different from the sharingan which you have to activate to some certain circumstance or condition and rinnegan which we now know is the rearest of them but i won't dwell on that now and get back to topic.
Taking Neji, Hinata, Hanabi and other hyugas we've seen so far, their normal eyes are with no color but plain white and when they activate their byakugan, we see some features around and in the eyes like muscles bulging around it. Activation of byakugan has many stages so lets break it down bit by bit. Neji and Hinata: Hinata uses some set of handseals before activating her Byakugan which in relation to our rp now, you will be doing the same set of handseals as a fresh hyuga. However you will be able to activate your byakugan without any handseals once you've mastered and kept it for a month.
Now to its abilities,
1.you can view/zoom upto 50m as a fresh hyuga but you will be able to see more as you become more adept.
2. Neji vs Kidomaru as a course study, Byakugan grants you 360 field of vision "except" a small circular spot on the lower thoraxic vertebra on the back neck. Neji could be wounded because of this and this is one of the weakness of the Byakugan
3. With the byakugan, even fresher or a master, you can see through object and matter itself, you won't be blinded by flash lights, smokescreens and solid objects. The best of this is that you can see the chakra pathway, chakra itself and even color of chakra, hidden barriers and its just awesome. A downside to this as seen in Neji vs Naruto is you can't differentiate a shadow clone from its original as they would have equal amount of chakra but you can know and see through transformation(henge) except zetsus.
Because of this as you can see even your own chakra system, you can detect if you are in a genjutsu as genjutsu disrupts your chakra then with byakugan you will know the enthropy in your chakra system ^^
Byakugan is the reason why Hyugas can use their famed lethal weapon known as the jyuken. As the saying goes. "you don't want to get too close to an Hyuga" yes its true just because of their Hand to Hand combat called "Gentle Fist".
With the ability to see the chakra pathway via the byakugan, an Hyuga is able to inflict damage on the chakra pathway which contains chakra points also known as tenketsus. You see, this tenketsus are points that control the way our chakra system behaves. Gentle fist focuses on inserting chakra into a ninja's chakra pathway in order to damage it or stop chakra flow or increase chakra flow since the tenketsu can be closed and opened too. Hyuga have great chakra control and are able to mold chakra into its tiny form then insert it with precision through their palms to damage nodes and organs. Unlike strong fist taijutsu, gentle fist uses a more subtle striking force as they focus more on injecting chakra with precision to deal internal damge. Long story short, we will be examining every gentle fist move as a whole.
Strenght
They are at a very good advantage at close proximity
360 field of vision
Good detectors/sensors
Weakness
They use chakra so its weak to elemental chakra and double weak to dark release
A spot located behind the neck as explain above
Fighting a long ranger and you are at a disadvantage except, Get close to him dude!
Any question?
