The Hyuga weren't even close to the Uchiha or Senju

I mean, when you really think about it, it would be impossible for them to even put up a challenge.

The Uchiha would have crippled the village, and that village includes the around 5 clans including the Hyuga, and then some.

That's a lot of people with a lot of power, and it would still barely be enough. Let's not forget that the only Uchiha with MS were considered to be on the village's side.

No wonder Hashirama said that if the Uchiha and Senju joined no one would be able to stand up to them:
You must be registered for see images

I can't fathom why the Hyuga would even think about calling themselves the strongest when they were that behind. I guess you take what you can get.

The Hyuuga are overrated as hell on the base. However in terms of actual combat ability they are 3rd rate and 3-5 tiers below the Uchiha.

I agree, nothing but facts produced in this thread. Other than the Uchiha and Senju though, they along with the Sarutobi clak were pretty powerful.

I dont care. It will probably involve Kaguya somehow anyways.

I'm willing to bet dimes to doughnuts it has something to do with Kaguya. Time and time again it's been shown she has godly ampunt of chakra. Byakugan is just meant to amplify her techniques' lethal accuracy. Other than that it's all rinne sharnningan twchs so I hope it's not Kaguya related, heck not even momoshiki and kinshiki relied on their byakugan s to often but the rinnegan.

Hyuuga can block off chakra access. Himawari solo'd Hashi's predecessor with one strike. Neji was their Itachi. Kishi nerfed em.

Tenseigan is cannon and the pinnacle of their power. Toneri lacks real skill like almost every other otsusuki. Neji with tenseigan would of been truth and love.

The Hyuga are underrated. They got no development time after Part I so of course they seem weak in comparison. They were at least strong enough for Kumogakure and Kirigakure to attempt stealing their doujutsu. Kiri Actually succeeded.

Second to KA, the Byakugan is the second most useful KKG dojutsu in peacetime (chakra sense + scouting = blessing to espionage), so it makes sense that everyone would be trying to steal it.

The Hyuuga are descendents of Hamura, and so should have way stronger chakra reserves than depicted in story. But that's only something that was stated after the manga was over. They appear weak because they literally were until Otsutsuki retconned them being weak.

The Hyuga sucks. It has always been like that and it will always be.

They're just overrated by NaruHina bots, that's all.

True enough.

They were hyped in part I then were forgotten like every other clan in part II. Kishi wanked the Uchiha so much that even the damn main protagonist's clan didn't get any backstory or development.

It was just bad writing on Kishi's part to be honest. He spent literally 3/4 of the manga catering to the Uchiha, and missed out on the potential to make some other clans truly great. Even the Senju, who are suppose to be stronger, took a backseat to the Uchiha.

The hero of the story should be equal or more complex than the villain but literally the whole Narutoverse seemed to revolve around the Uchiha and their "blessed" eyes... And people wonder why i dislike them XD.

What's so special about Kaguya's skill? She just has a large amount of Chakra, which she got from the fruit that gave her a fancy Sharingan as well. Take the fruit out of the equation and there goes her powerful Sharingan eye and she's just another Hyuga cow-fodder.

because they longer were the main focus of the series.

Remember how fodder the Uchiha was in Part 1? Katon + sharingan(enhances tactical reations, different vision, can copy techs - kakashi)

and neji is well above sasuke when it came to talents, yeah.. major buffs on the uchihas and you wankers are all "my clan is better"

It's pretty clear that Kishi considered the Uchiha and Senju as the strongest clan.

We have Kishi stating that:

1. Uchihas have unparalleled chakra
2. Uchihas being the only ones who could compete with the Senju
3. Needing multiple ninja to fight 1 3T Uchiha.

Not to mention that Uchiha and Senju stem from Indra and Ashura who possesses Rikudou's Yin and Yang Release separately. We don't even know how much chakra the Hyuuga inherited from Hamura considering Hamura and his clan stayed at the sealing stone to guard the Mazo and so the Hyuuga's chakra was likely weaker as the probability of inheriting something from Hamura is low.

Absolutely nothing. What you just said is precisely my point. Kaguyas feats with the Byakugan cannot be argued in favor for Hyuuga. She was confirmed to even have more chakra than Madara who absorbed all 9 bijuu.
