Neji's strong, but he just doesn't play in the same class than Itachi.

watch the fight neji had with naruto and hiachi's reactions. Neji has already surpassed him and he knew it if neji wanted to kill the whole clan as itachi did to his I don't doubt he could. (well if it wasn't for the seal on his head)

Wow, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Hiashi reacted the way he did because Neji was so good FOR HIS AGE, and because he discovered the two secret jutsus of the clan on his own without being taught them. He is still nowhere near Hiashi's skill. Hiashi is one of the top jounin in the village. Neji is nowhere near even normal jounin level.

To claim that he could wipe out the rest of the Hyuga is spot on wrong.

[Muad'Dib]

Had Neji been from the head branch, and had his training not have been restricted as it was, perhaps he would be closer to Itachi.

you go watch that episode again but this time read what it says. Neji is nowhere near a normal jounin and don't even think being at the level of Hiashi.

No.

[Kayess]

Neji is nothing compared to Itachi when he killed off the Uchiha clan. No one shown so far can compare to Itachi's strength, and I question if even Sandaime in his prime could stand toe-to-toe with Itachi now. Then again, we do not know much about either's abilities. We know Itachi is feared by Oro.. and that the jounin of Kohona do not even stand the slightest chance against him. All we know about Sandaime in his prime is that he was the strongest Hokage ever, and that is not to say he was the strongest ninja.

When it all boils down, Neji is a genius but he is not at the freaky genius level of Itachi.

In closing: Itachi > All

Why on earth do you think he wouldn't be stronger had he been taught the secrets of the Hyuuga clan rather than learned them on his own? Learning them on his own undoubtedly delayed his progression in the mastery of the Byukugan. I wasn't saying he would be Itachi level, just closer to Itachi level--meaning, he would have been stronger.

Itachi (presumably) had the benefit of his clan training him.
Neji...did not.
Could Itachi have figured out how to use the clan secrets on his own? Even if he self-taught himself from a scroll, it's still more than Neji had.

13 y.o. Itachi is still stronger than 13 y.o. Neji, though. No question about that.

[frogzila]

Yeah, and just the fact that the sharingan is better than the Byakugan makes Itachi even more awesome.

Personally, I think the Sharingan is way better, because it lets you learn all sorts of awesome moves almost instantly. The Byakugan lets you see a lot more stuff, but if you don't have the moves to defend against it, seeing things doesn't help you.

Having a ninja at the level of strength Itachi has plus the Sharingan is like having a nuclear weapon with lazers attached to it.

Oh sorry i got you wrong anyways if that would happen Neji gots a bit stronger but still:

Itachi:1000
Neji(now):8

Itachi:1000
Neji(if he was from the main family):10

The true power of the Sharingan is not to see the future, but to make it.
The true power of the Byakugan is to know everything in the present .
IMO there are better powers. I'd rather be a master of Shadow Imitation, for nothing else except the immense comedy value.
*walks through park*
*sees person you hate*
Kage Mane no jutsu!
*runs other person into trees even after they lose consciousness*
Before any pedants say that I would get hurt too, I won't, because I'm smart enough to release the technique just before he hits the tree.

[niidel]

I don't remember WHO said, but somebody did say that you'd be able to dodge bullets if you had sharingan - well that's obviously not true. Even if you can see the bullet coming your way, you still have to be fast enough to move out of it's way (And as we have seen, Sasuke can't dodge Lee's kick when they do battle for the first time).

And I have the byakugan: http://noodle.stc.cx/kolmaskerta/niidelbyakugan.jpg ! I swear that's not edited, except for adding the subs :P

[Black Jaggan]

Everybody seems to forget a big point here:

The Sharingan looks a lot cooler! I'd rather have nice red spining eyes, than white see through eyes with big ugly looking veins. I'm mean....The Sharingan looks cool, but the Byakugan just looks plain scary.

BTW: Hilarious pic niidel! Really funny....but the popping veins need a bit of practice ^.~

To the Hiashi vs Itachi...
I don't see why they shouldn't be able to fight toe to toe, I really don't know what can actually pwn Kai-ten... The fact that Hiashi can see 350-360 degrees, can either be a disadvantage or an advantage against the Mange Sharingan... I don't know how he would avoid the eye, but he wouldn't stare directly into it...

I like the byuakugan and would prefer it over the sharingan, but only because I would get free porn

[Muad'Dib]

Since the sharingan evolved from the byukugan, it could be (just a hypothesis here) that an advanced byukugan user could have some immunity from some of the sharingan's effects. The genetic code between the families must be similar, after all.

[Youko Recca]

For staters.....Kyubi > Itachi so he isn't the strongest in Naruto .Second,I say they take Itachi and seal him up inside someone...that seems like the only method.

i'm quite sure byakugan doesnt allow you to see past just one layer. it works by seeing through the whole object.

or maybe its just a different evolution... THEN it would be cool.

i'd still prefer to have sharingan only cos it doesnt freak ppl out....as much

this is probably a stupid question but my curiosity is killing me.
do the users of sharingan and byakugan see in colour or monotone? i would think that for sharingan users, it would be in colour before activation. wat about byakugans??

I think they see what they want to see. I don't think they're only able to see the chakra and everything else is just horizon (would that too be blue?).

[Bloodstainsfade]

I think Sharigan, becuase if you memorize approximately where the chakra points are, the Sharigan would let you see where they move from when they attack. Therefore, you have Sharigan, and byakugan... Not to mention, freakish veins popping out of your head, or fricking awesome red eyes... Not to mention you can make them spin around, imagine the fun to be had with your friends and that...

No way byakugan is more usefull.........Really , i vited Sharingan cuz it has so many advantages.......You can copy almost all jutsus......you can predict movements.......you can hypnotise.......well, really, Im stikking with Sharingan

I don't really think you can memorize approximately where the tenketsu are. Besides, it's a different location for every person you fight, and if you do your job right, you should only ever have to fight someone seriously once.

i'm quite sure byakugan doesnt allow you to see past just one layer. it works by seeing through the whole object.

I also think that this is not true. In one of the anime sequences in the Chuunin exam we see Hinata using the byakugan to scout. It looks more like it's continuously moving through the layers, but you have the option for staying at one layer; otherwise, there would be no way to differentiate between one object and the next if you just see totally through them at all times.

So yeah, I think Neji gets free porn.

In real life Mike Tyson haven't any chakra flow, so touch him with your fingers will just irritate him

But the eye jutsu things require chakra... so that means if you were able to use the bloodline limit then YOU must have chakra... not to mention that most martial arts insist everybody has chakra, or something exactly like it.
