For those that are wondering, this is to do with the Hyuuga Clan's Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit) - The Byakugan. A similar theory is also applied to the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai - The Sharingan.
The Byakugan is the Hyuuga?s Kekki Genkai (Bloodline limit), which consists of an all - white eye that enables the user to see 360? (except for one blind spot at the back of the neck), see through solid matter (obviously, as 360? vision would require seeing out of the back of one?s skull), and see chakra, which is usually invisible. What many don't know is that this is actually THEORETICALLY possible!
The Byakugan enables its user to see so precisely that one can perceive matter on a quantum scale. Specifically, to be able to see not only individual atoms but the space between them - to the point that with enough focus that one can see straight through the very matter an object is composed of. It?s actually not all that unreasonable, seeing as the eye can detect a single photon of light; I bet with the application of chakra that could be amplified to subatomic levels. One can assume that this is possible only due to the flexibility of chakra, the limitations of which unfortunately cannot be gauged, as it does not scientifically exist.
You would think that seeing 360? would be easy to explain, but its actually the hardest part of this theory. Now, in order for an eye to be able to see 360?, the pupil would have to take up almost the entirety of the eye, with just a small portion being reserved for the retina and where the optic nerves are located. This would also be the actual blind spot. Now, since the pupil is what takes in light, for it to extend to the majority of the eye would mean it takes in a lot more light (obviously), which would make the eye extremely photosensitive. This isn?t actually a good thing, as anyone who?s looked directly into the sun can testify. Now, one possible way to overcome this is with a second eyelid, like cats have. But, the eyelid can only cover half of the eye, and there is also the question of whether the visual information received through the back of the head would be photosensitive or not. So, we can probably rule out the eyelid theory.
The only other way is if the chakra being focused in the eyes during the activation of Byakugan protects the eye, perhaps as a shield, also expanding the pupil to the level required for 360? vision. The eye would also have to be perfectly round, as opposed to the normal eye's egg shape.
Note: This is only THEORETICALLY possible. For an existing human to accumulate chakra would be considered impossible as chakra does not scientifically exist.
BUT HOW AWESOME WOULD IT BE IF SOMEONE COULD ACTUALLY USE THE BYAKUGAN?!
