Byakugan, Sharingan & Rinnengan

[HiroInazuma]

I heard the BY-YAK-JU-KAN causes you to hurt peoples organs when you touch them and veins pop out of your head and if you get mad they pop and you die also if you spin around a blue shield will come out and you can see through things but if somebody tries to throw a knife at your neck you're dead

[The Fouth Hokage]

indeed.................

[Kishimyu]

Shargin seems to give you a better advantage than Byakugan. With Sharingan you can imitate the things you see and Byakugan gives you a 360 degree vision and you can see through things but that's about it.

[HikariYume]

Byakugan all the way! I love how it sounds Bya~ku~gan :P

[Last of the Uchihas]

sharingan all the way

I can't stand it when people rhyme it's bland and a waste of time...

Spoiler for manga:

and oh by the way "Byukugan vs. Sharnigan?"

the answer is Rinnegan!

[SajberToent]

There's no reason to assume that buyakugan (OK WHATEVER?) is more potent than Sharingan anymore, unless Neiji has somehow found a way to take it to a whole new level.

Spoiler for manga:

As for Rinnegan it's s'posed to be the most powerful, however I suspect that Sharingan may be it's ultimate counter.

They should focus an arc on Neji and his clan, they are pretty interesting.

[Dan the Man]

The more I think about it, I don't think one is particularly better than the other. Each one serves their purpose well. One is a motion-detector/copying machine. The other is an X-ray machine/panoramic camera. One looks cool and makes you blind with use, the other make's you look blind while making more visible veins than all the Teen Titan stereotypes put together. Who cares?

Maybe they should focus an arc on Naruto...

[HiroInazuma]

Naruto should of claimed his prize from beating Neji (his eyes)

[Ukitake Toshirou]

i'd rather have byakugan because you can see the tenketsu and stuff.

BTW I was gonna write this post till i saw it here!

So far as I can tell, Sharingan users can predict physical movement to the finest degree. Sasuke's complete Sharingan easily handled Naruto when he released Kyuubi's chakra in their match at the Valley of the End. Naruto's speed was essentially far greater than Sasuke's at that moment. Before his Sharingan was complete, Naruto was pretty much owning him. The Sharingan cannot, however, predict the movement of pure chakra, which was shown when Naruto released Kyuubi's first tail and his chakra made a swipe Sasuke couldn't block, so I doubt Sasuke would easily deflect or dodge that attack Neji used on Kisame from a long distance.

At close range, I'd say an Uchiha and a Hyuuga would be almost even depending on the Uchiha's Taijutsu skills. For the sake of argument, I'll assume his skills are top notch (not neccessarily on par with someone like Maito Gai but you get the idea ). A Hyuuga may or may not land a direct hit on the Uchiha because the latter can easily dodge thanks to the Sharingan's reflexive abilities, but the Uchiha is under a similar situation for the Hyuuga can block a direct punch or kick with their chakra shield. Long distance-wise, it depends on who has more chakra than the other. How long can the Hyuuga sustain the heavenly spin? How long can the Uchiha keep throwing fireballs and such? It also depends on the power that's used for either skill. Naruto was able to penetrate Neji's Rolling Shield in the Chuunin Exam after all. Chakra plays a major determining factor here. Just look at how Kisame easily handled Neji (who doesn't even have the Sharingan).

The only real turning point comes with the Sharingan's Genjutsu skills. Do we know whether or not the Byakugan can cancel out the effects of Genjutsu? The Byakugan's vision is almost 360° and can extend to admirable distances, but does that mean they can't be fooled by an illusion? I can only speculate, but I think not. Genjutsu, as described by Jiraya, is the transmission of Chakra through the opponent's nervous system, disturbing the chakra flow within the opponent and thus, their perception of what's around them. Depending on the power of the Genjutsu, and we all know how powerful Sharingan Genjutsu can be, there's a good chance Byakugan users would have to try and resort to conventional methods of dispelling the illusion. Matters are worse if we're talking about the Mangekyou Sharingan. It's really up to you, but this is my take on the matter.

Actually Sasuke might be able to copy the chakra shield because the chakra shield is just chakra pouring out from certain spots from the body and spinning around which is why I would like to see Neji fight Sasuke

No. What makes the Hyuuga so unique is that they can pour out chakra from every part of their body. That's something other ninja can't do. Otherwise, Kakashi would know how to use Mokuton jutsu since he knows how it works. Normally people can only project chakra from their hands, as Naruto often does when using Rasengan. Fact of the matter is that the Sharingan can copy basically anything except other bloodline limits, and the Hyuuga's Heavenly spin is a trademark technique of their clan. I doubt we'll see Sasuke or Kakashi copy that skill anytime soon.

No actually the heavenly fist style is something that was made specifically for Byakugan users as they can see chakra points, and the tenketsu so someone without Byakugan will just be hitting places and they don't know where they are hitting as sometimes people put chakra into their feet to climb if they were to hit someone with a kick going to the chakra points near the heart they wouldn't that they are hurting the person's heart.

Spoiler for Description from wikipedia:

The Gentle Fist (柔拳, Jūken?) style of combat aims to damage the body's chakra circulatory system, thus inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra circulatory system, causing the targeted area to rupture or divert flow. Alternatively, or as an additional effect, the same method can be used to damage the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name. As there is no way to train the internal organs to become stronger, this technique is capable of causing damage no matter how physically powerful the opponent is. Because the chakra circulatory system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively and thus it is exclusive to the Hyuga clan.

To quickly seal off an opponent's access to chakra, Gentle Fist style users can perform the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (八卦六十四掌, Hakke Rokujūyon Shō?, English TV: "Gentle Fist Style: Eight Trigrams 64 Palms") to strike an opponent's individual chakra points in progressively heavier and faster volleys.[21] Once completed the technique effectively eliminates an opponent's ability to use chakra and makes it difficult for them to move. The same process that seals off one's access to chakra can also be used as a shield; with Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin (八卦掌回天, Hakkeshō Kaiten?, English TV "Eight Trigrams Palms Rotation"), the user releases a huge amount of chakra from their chakra points when in danger of being attacked. The released chakra blocks any possible attack, and the user need only spin themselves rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any would-be attackers.[21] Due to the effectiveness and power of these jutsu, teaching of the ability is restricted to only members of the main branch of the Hyuga clan, though prodigious Gentle Fist style users can replicate the same effects without being taught. Both Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga use the fundamentals of these attacks to create their own unique jutsu.

A Sharingan user can not see their ownTekketsu, so the Sharingan user can not perform a Kaiten without knowing where their tenketsu are to perform the technique correctly.. Additionally, Naruto has been the only individual with enough chakra to create his own version of a chakra shield (in Naruto's case, he is simply flooding the environment with his chakra, effectvely creating a shield, the chakra hand is cretaed by stretching his chakra out from his hand).

The shield and the Kaiten can not be copied, since chakra control (which is ultimately what the Hyuuga and Naruto are doing) can not be copied (otherwise the Sharingan would have copied all the other clan's techniques already.) Now it might be possible for anyone to learn something like the Kaiten...if a Hyuuga helps them, but I doubt we will ever see someone else use Naruto's chakra shoield...besides other demon containers.

I know that's what I'm saying, anyone can learn how to use Kaiten but without the byakugan they cannot use it properly

Well technically the Chidori Nagashi is in the same category but I think Sasuke can pull it off

Spoiler:

because of the nature of Raiton chakra, he can simply flow it through whatever he touches, including his own entire body.

Actually that would be quite interesting for Sasuke to use chidori nagashi then spin around creating his own version of kaiten or just focus chidori nagashi to his palms, fingers and feet and use his own lightning juken
