Byakugan (Knyght)
Byakugan (Official Version)
The Byakugan - White Eye - is the kekkei genkai of Hyuuga Clan that has been passed down among their clan for a thousand years. It was inherited from their ancestor, Otsutsuki Hamura, who was born with the power due to his mother consuming the Divine Fruit.
Everyone in this bloodline possesses white irises and pupils and they are able to awaken the Byakugan as soon as they have the chakra and control to activate it. Whenever the Byakugan is activated, the veins around the eyes bulges outward due to the amount of chakra being focused into them. Because actually activating the eyes is quite difficult, the Hyuuga developed a hand-seal sequence to channel their chakra in the correct way which is taught to all of their children. Experience and skill allows them to skip this step by activating them without aid but even experienced Hyuuga may used a simple chakra-focusing hand seal to make it easier.
When active, the eyes gain a supernatural acuity that allows them to see the world with incredible clarity. Everything becomes that much sharper, distances are easier to perceive, colour is more pronounced and their minds can process everything they see at a faster rate than normal. They can even see in low light conditions as clear as in day and can adapt to the most intense levels of light as well. This perceptiveness makes it an ideal tool for analyzing a person’s mental state through physical cues and using that knowledge against them as a weapon.
Among the abilities that the Byakugan has, the one it shares with all other doujutsu is its ability to see chakra as a part of the visible spectrum. Ordinary eyes are only able to see chakra when concentrated to the highest levels but the Byakugan can see it in even the faintest quantities. It perceives chakra as different colours which are unique to each individual, reveals thing hidden by chakra to their naked eye, shows disturbances in a person’s chakra flow such as when influenced by genjutsu and seeing that which composes the jutsu used against.
The Byakugan possesses panoramic vision which allows the Hyuuga to see in almost a full 360° degrees so that they can view practically everything around them. By doing so they are able to anticipate attacks from anywhere around them, including directly above them, with greater awareness than those who would rely on their other senses to compensate. However it does have a blind spot where attacks are able reach the Hyuuga without them ever knowing.
They are capable of telescopic vision which can see over dozens of meters from their earliest activation and which can be trained to extend this up to tens of thousands of meters. Such range means that they can spot enemies and track their movements with them none the wiser.
And lastly they possess x-ray vision which allows them to see through physical objects as if they were not there to view whatever may exists beyond them. This ability in particular makes hiding from the Byakugan so difficult as it can see through solid walls, smoke, dust, clothing or even through a person's flesh to see their bones or internal organs. The ability to see through the ground is particularly useful for scoping out enemies moving underground but difficult to maintain given the sheer disorientation in not being able to see the ground.
Individually, these are all incredibly useful abilities but they are even more powerful when used together.
The Hyuuga combine their x-ray vision with their ability to see chakra, allowing them to see the chakra pathways within the human body. This served as the foundation of their Gentle Fist as they inject their chakra into the enemy’s pathways that are entwined with their internal organs to damage them in ways they can’t defend against. Those with higher than average visual acuity, naturally or trained, can even see the 361 chakra points which release chakra from the body which can then be targeted to disrupt the enemy’s chakra flow. Viewing the chakra pathways directly means that they can literally see the enemy generate chakra, transform it into a jutsu and channel it through their body, allowing them to react to an attack before it is actually unleashed.
It is even one of the reasons why the Hyuuga are so gifted with chakra control as where other people can only rely on how their chakra feels as they manipulate it, those with the Byakugan can actually see the chakra they are using. With this knowledge, they can more easily adjust their chakra levels when applying it to exercises or jutsu to use exactly as much as they need.
And they combine their panoramic vision with their telescopic vision to see as far as possible in 360 degrees so that they can perceive everything happening in that territory and defend themselves against it. It is perfect for fighting against multiple enemies at different ranges as they are able to keep track of any attack against them where other ninja would be overwhelmed. However using multiple types of vision can limit their maximum ability such as when trying to extend their visual range while looking in 360 degrees at the same time; they cannot see nearly as far as they would by just focusing on their telescopic vision.
Different Hyuuga have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their Byakugan just as regular people do not have always equal eyesight. Hyuuga Hinata's is particularly proficient in its telescopic vision which could see roughly a kilometre away when she was rookie genin which increased to seeing at least ten kilometres and then twenty kilometres as she grew. Her cousin Neji was never able to match her maximum range even being older and more experienced than her, yet his eyes were naturally better at seeing minor details at close range which is why he could see the chakra points of the body at such a young age which was combined with his prodigal talent for the Gentle Fist.
Overusing the Byakugan by maintaining its active state for hours on end, especially while pushing its eyesight to the limit, can strain the eyes to the extent that they temporarily lose their vision.
