Seeing White Eye Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank

Damage: N/A
Description: One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San
Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the kekkei genkai
of the Hyuga clan. Bearers of this Dõjutsu have
almost featureless white eyes. When the
Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become
more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge as the blood flow to their eyes is
increased. While having the Byakugan
deactivated, Hyuga ninjas have a normal
eyesight and no special addition to their vision.
While low rank Hyugas will need to perform a
sequence of hand seals ( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly
straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog →
Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with
nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the
right index finger lifted straight up) to activate
their Byakugan, Hyuga masters will be able to do so without the need for any hand seals and
even have it active passively for long periods
of time. Once activated, the user gains access
to all of the abilities the Byakugan bestows
upon them. While, like other Dojutsu, its main
ability is to see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient beings, the Byakugan adds a complete
new detail and dimension to that ability. The
user can not only see chakra and the chakra
flow, but also the circulatory system and even
the 361 tenketsu. Added to this ability, once
activated the Byakugan grants the user a near perfect field of vision 360º around himself (up
to long-range if he's a master). This field of
vision has only one blind spot, slightly above
the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and facing
backwards but enables the user to actually even
see his own chakra circulatory system and chakra flow, which explains why all Hyuugas are
so adept and masterfull of precise chakra
control. The last ability the Byakugan has is the
ability to zoom in and out, focusing on specific
things, piercing beyond matter and energy alike,
as well as chakra. This specific ability allows the user to see pass most barriers as well as
physical matter (like rock walls, ground, etc) but
also energy, being able to focus beyond chakra
that might be in front of them or other
energies. The zooming ability is enhanced as the
user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away.
Some Hyugas have shown a great awareness
regarding agressiveness as well as killing intent,
detecting such intentions and emotions from
others with more ease than most.
Note: Activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches
Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over
Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it
passively without spending a move. Because of
its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can
keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when
used against a Byakugan user requires direct
eye contact between enemy pupil and user's
pupil
Note: Must be activated to use Gentle Fist (Jyuken)
Note: Cannot be blinded by matter, chakra, light
or energy
Note: Its tracking abilities are similar to that of
a 3 Tomoe Sharingan
