Byakugan, Sharingan & Rinnengan

[SuigetsuKun]

Mokuton and Sharingan? Well, Mokuton has never exactly mentioned to be inherited, it was Shodai's sole ability... it must be the above average chakra pool.

So far I'm not voting....,because the secrets of the Byakugan has never been revealed...

And they never will be because it's not important to the story. Just like Tenten's last name.

I don't know. I don't think it will get sharingan spotlight

Spoiler:

but than Kishimoto has been adding more byakugan characters into the manga rather than less. i.e. the byakugan user from Konoha...Ao...than Hinata and Neji of course...

i think that the sharnigan would win in a fight because if it was saskue vs neji saskue would trap neji in one of sharnigan mind controls

Well we don't exactly know what the effects of genjutsu would have on the byakyugan. There are hints that the byakugan is somewhat resistant to some genjutsu so it might not be that simple. If it's an MS genjutsu than I think it's probable, but still I would be speculating. The next question than would be would a character like Neji play an important role in the future of Naruto. Many speculate that no since none of the rookie's are relevant to Naruto, but others would disagree since relevancy will change in the course of time. If you go by what Kishimoto has said

Spoiler:

than more than likely some of the other rookies will play a larger role. Shikamaru being an obvious choice, but you know as mentioned Kishimoto has added a couple new byakugan users, which could possibly add Neji and Hinata to the mix, but would they go up agains a sharingan user if that's the case. I'm guessing probably not, but I would be speculating and who know what Kishimoto has in the future.

It's not necessarily who would win, but rather what possible new things could come about in a fight between the two.

Now imagine having a telescope in your eyesockets and makes them look like you got cataracts. Byakugan was a credible threat in part one. But so was dying from a kunai or a shuriken.

Yeah, and going blind after using that power is SUCH a great tradeoff...

You may bash on it all you like, but I'd definitely still choose Byakugan. Looks aside, the fact that you have nearly 360 degree vision plus the ability to see through objects (a power the Sharingan does not possess) and see greater distances than anyone without optics, would be a major asset on the modern battlefield, if we're going that far.

And as far as what a real ninja's duties would normally consist of, Byakugan would be more than enough. Sharingan, while certainly powerful, still can't hold a candle to the Byakugan's utility in a reconnoitering/scouting/spying role. Sometimes information gained discreetly can be far more powerful than any space-time jutsu, especially in the theoretical world of ninjas.

Rinnegan looks as if they see right into your soul for some reason.

[bhl88]

Byakugan:
50 meters to 800 meters or more.
See through obstacles.
See chakra on the level of arteries.
Gentle Fist
Real life applications: cheating, scouting, anti-eavesdrop and spying (for at least 800 meters), peeking, espionage.

Sharingan:
What's in front of you.
Forge handwriting, analyze movements and copy jutsu.
See chakra on the gates level.
Look inside the mind and see bijuu.
Control over time and space (dimension transport, fire, etc.)
Real life applications: Forging, cheating, getting rid of annoying people, burning things, genjutsu, detective work.

pretty sure i said this but the sharingan is better 4 close combat and combat in general. byakugan is only gud for info gathering nd maybe long distance.Their jyuuken, while effective on grunts, doesn't really help with the more powerful and unorthodox enemies tht the naruto characters are facing 2day.Buuuut, IRL the byakugan would pwn sharingan bcuz all they need is a a very highpowered nd accurate sniper, get like a half a mile away, nd thn bam!! sharingan wont help there

Scouting yes, it's hard to beat an omnidirectional telescopes/X-ray device. Spying however not so much. The Sharingan possesses built in mind control power, the ability to force people to your bidding, to force them to tell the truth, to project whatever you want in their mind

Spoiler:

and even put thoughts in their heads as if it was their owns,

ect. would be considerably useful for such activity.

This is what makes sharingan and byakugan interesting I think. They're tools in my opinion meant for different things. It's hard to imagine, but if the Hyuga and Uchiha's had joined forces they would be a very hard combination to beat... Over all I think they're meant for different things. Sharingan is great for getting inside, whereas the byakugan is great for as you said scouting...sure it allows the attacking of chakra points, but I think overall thats virtually a last line of defense for them...

As a sniper though the Byakugan would be tough to beat, but in this universe there is no guns, although there are projectile weapons. It's hard to understand why there hasn't been a byakugan user using a blow-gun or a bow and arrow...

What I want to know and hope that Kishimoto gives more incite is the relationship with Byakugan.

Spoiler:

even with Rinnegan I could see some similarities in abilities with the Sharingan and Byakugan.

[irvinethearcher]

One thing is for certain.
If good old Jiraya would have had the choice between the Rinnegan, EMS and Byakugan he would certainly have chosen the buyakugan

[tkdtiger]

Well maybe and maybe not. I mean I think he could have used either, but than again Byakugan would be better for multiple opponents since he can see all around him.

[FlareKnight]

Personally just lean towards preferring the byakugan. More just because it has solid boundaries and limits to it. Sharingan through the series has just evolved to this ridiculous thing that is constantly coming up with new abilities. Kind of funny how when the topic started it was actually a debate between which would be better to have. Now it's not much of a question for in the series since the byakugan has remained static while the sharingan has continued to get new powers.

I'm pretty sure the meaning was due to helping Jiraiya gather 'material' for his books .

[Kyero Fox]

the Sharigan have way more levels than Super saiyans, there for Byakugan ftw.

i wud want byukugan beceause u can watch ur back without actuali watchin ur back nd u can attack chakra flow nd kill ur enemy nd its a very gud deffience aginst close nd far rage attacks.....but u kno wat wud be cool if u can fuse the tu tugether nd call it byushigan.::

[Knightrunner]

Sharingan because I can copy many justsu and fighting styles I want. All I just have to do is train my physical strength and then copy Might Guys moves and Kakashi's jutsu's then I'll be set.
