Byakugan Rules
Baby Kurama's Favorite
General Info
The Byakugan ["White Eye"], is the bloodline limit of the Hyuuga clan. It is a Dōjutsu, which means that it manifests itself within the eyes of the user. The first of its abilities are when activated, the Byakugan gives a near 360º vision, except for a small blind spot at their first thoracic vertebrae. The range varies from user to user, but in general, they are capable of seeing from a minimum of 50 meters, all the way up to a maximum of 20 kilometers, and the amount grows with training, ability, and age.
This vision allows users to see through solid objects such as Smokescreens and walls. Arguably its greatest ability is to see chakra in all its nature, including its flow and the circulation system inside the body with great detail as well as the color of chakra; giving them the ability to discern clones from the original. Like the Sharingan and Rinnegan, the Byakugan can detect chakra sealed barriers as well as determine when genjutsu is being used. The Byakugan is able to follow high-speed movements, which allows the wielder to analyze their opponent's actions, and allows the user to predict and better react to them. Also, the Byakugan is shown magnifying in on small targets and seeing infrared to detect a target through their body heat. The Byakugan is able to see the elemental affinity of others.
It is from the Byakugan's especially acute perception of chakra and ability to view the tenketsu of the human body that the Hyuga Clan are able to employ their signature fighting style: Gentle Fist. Able to strike without force, and yet do more damage to a ninja than some of the most powerful ninjutsu, the Gentle Fist has been labeled as the greatest taijutsu style known. Prolonged use of the Byakugan causes severe but temporary eye-strain, leaving wielders unable to properly perceive targets. Also, it has been shown that once unlocked it will sometimes activate due to stress. the Byakugan can also determine the development of one's chakra.
Upon training, a Hyuga can evolve their Byakugan into the Tenseigan which is characterized by blue pupils and irides which contain a white, floral pattern. The evolution of the Byakugan is much more subtle than the Sharingan as it mainly just enhances abilities of the eye. Extending the maximum range to 50km, as well as getting rid of the blind spot, It also allows the Hyuuga to see sound waves and eventually learn to interpret them in order to be able to "hear" what is being said from as far away as they can see. Also, it increases the already prodigious chakra control of the Hyuuga to a point where they can masterfully control their chakra using only their eyes. It also allows them to emit powerful chakra pulses that can be used as shock waves to push an opponent or other things. Lastly, it has the ability to use its advanced attention to detail in order to read body movements and idiosyncrasies to interpret what the target may be feeling at the time, This also requires a great deal of psychological knowledge to pull off. Overuse of the Tenseigan reverts it back into a normal Byakugan (which can further be overused itself) The requirement for unlocking the Tenseigan is to get both the eyes of Precision and Distance to S-Rank, then do a special training.
While all Hyūga inherits the Byakugan and constantly show its generic physical traits, they must also go through intense training to manifest the dōjutsu's actual powers and that is something that not all Hyuuga can do.
Eye of Distance
Although each Byakugan comes equipped with an inherent, fifty-meter range upon activation, this range can be extended through time and training, and this is where the "distance" aspect of the eye comes in. In order to achieve the larget distances, one would have to have training in this area. With Hinata as a reference point, those who focus on distance will lose out on precision, which refers to one's ability to perceive the chakra network with the eye. However, for starting ninja their Eye of Distance rank will be E.
Eye of Precision
The aspect of precision refers not to one's ability to accurately perceive the number of things in one's line of vision, but the ability to perceive the chakra network. Only those who train in precision will be able to see the tenketsu, and in rare cases, one may achieve the ability to see even the Eight Gates of the body. With Neji as a reference point. The starting grade for all Eye of Precision will be E.
