I mean you would think with there ability to cut off chakra points they could throw senbon with there 360 vision and ability to see chakra points, hell maybe even use shizune's wrist mounted senbon launcher. Imagine them using wind style chakra with it was well(Seems The Most Likely Elemental Affinity for Hyugas)

The Hyugas have always been underrated though they are one of the strongest clans. My best answer would be that this clan lacks plot development unlike Uchiha Clan and the Senjus

Better question would be why don't they use puppets. I mean come on, they have the chakra control for it and with their eyes they could take someone out with a puppet kilometres away.

Neji was special.. due to his talent he was one of the only ones, if not the only one, who could see the individual chakra pores

Kishimoto promised them big things in order to get the Hyuuga to cooperate, but then, when it was their time, he gave them the middle finger and threw them into the streets like dogs. R.I.P. Hyuuga plot development.

in response to your question, its simple: they specialize in the gentle fist which is only relevant in very close hand to hand situations, while a throwing weapon like a senbon is more practical from a distance.

i agree with you, the Hyugas could've been a better clan if they had other jutsus up their sleeves and affinity combined with their attacks

Well actually it would be Neji, Hinata, and Hiashi (64. Plans is simply a formation move to give the user the best positioning to hit the tenketsu)




OT: Kishi decided to screw everything that wasn't a main character or failed to related to Uchiha or Senju.


As a result... Zero Hyuga development. Of the Hyuga... Most likely this would be more of Hinata's thing because of two reasons.

1. We have seen (though filler) her use a somewhat senbon attack.

2. It seems to work well as a gentle weapon/pacifistic weapon (AKA: Haku)
