You're literally going to ignore the age gap between them?a) he nearly defeated them until one of them used MS
b) he already committed himself to suicide if he got caught in a genjutsu so that he wouldn't leak any information
Regardless of him axing himself to prevent the leak of information the dude literally took care of two 3T sharingan users and also countered against long range attacks like the fireball which means:
1. He outclassed their precog with only 1 byakugan that he learnt to awaken
2. Prior to that event he single handily took down twenty Sunagakure shinobi — all armed — without so much as a scratch, using nothing but taijutsu and his Byakugan.
3. He wasn't even that well versed in Gentle Fist due to being not part of the Hyuga clan but a distant relative with mixed genes but was able to still be better in hand to hand combat with only a halved version of the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms — the Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms.
Mind you Hinata in part two was able to do 32 palms but eventually got to 64 palms in the war arc.
Now let us add also the fact that
i. Itachi and Shisui are considered prodigies
ii. They are better then anyone else in the clan at that age
iii. Literally right after this event Itachi begins the Uchiha massacre operation
You also say the dude was old but he wasn't that versed in Hyuga techs and ability PLUS...
The Byakugan and GF KKG can be also trained and further developed like:
- Hinata trained her range from seeing targets 50 metres away; by age 18, she can see targets 20 kilometres away.
- Hima doing a single gentle fist strike to take down a opponent compared to 64 of the 361 points
- A user can also train the KKG GF to be able to use other techs as well
- This anbu dude half heartily taught himself
So your age idea means nothing from the literal match up that occurred
So it is more so a nerf of the Byakugan side then it is for your young poor prodigies that are so innocent but are part of the Anbu "woe is me" argument
Do you think the same thing would have happened had it been Obito and Fugaku versus Mukai? One grown man and a teen that has the skills and experience of a war veteran?
