Clan History

The Byakugan (白眼, Byakugan? literally "White Eye," Viz "Evil Eye") is a special pupil condition (瞳術, Dōjutsu?, literally "eye technique") that naturally occurs in members of the Hyuga clan (and thus only characters from the Hyuga clan possess it). Byakugan users are characterized by their lavender, pupil-less eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, their pupils somewhat appear and the veins near their temples bulge.

A person with the Byakugan has a nearly 360 degree field of vision, except for a small blind spot behind the first thoracic vertebra (near the back of the neck), which is its only known weakness. Byakugan users can detect anything around them within a 50-meter radius (able to increase radius), making them close-range combat experts. The Byakugan also gives the user the ability to see through basically any matter over extremely long distances. This seems to be a combination of x-ray and thermographic vision. A small degree of telescopic vision is also present, as a Byakugan user can focus on a single object at any point within their range of vision. The degree of focus seems to be dependent on the skill of the user. The Byakugan's sight cannot be blocked, except in the case of something like Ranmaru's kekkei genkai ability, unlike the Sharingan, which can be blocked by any sufficiently opaque substance. It is however, possible to impede it slightly through the use of certain powerful seals. The Byakugan's insight capacity makes it useful for searching, tracking, and identifying targets.

One of the most powerful aspects of the Byakugan is the ability to see the inner chakra coil system, which is the key aspect of using the Gentle Fist style to attack said system. If sufficiently developed, the Byakugan is able to see individual chakra points, potentially allowing the user to shut off the opponent's chakra flow completely, such that the opponent cannot perform techniques that require chakra. However, the user can increase chakra flow as well. Seasoned Byakugan users are even capable of killing with a single blow.

Their moves

Eight Trigrams Empty Palm

* Name: Hakke Kūshō, 八卦空掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm" or "Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm" or "Eight Trigrams Air Palm"
* Type: Unknown

This jutsu is similar in practice to Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin, but has a specific target rather than a general area. To perform it, Neji does a palm thrust at an opponent while expelling a large burst of chakra from his palm. This violently pushes the opponent away. The opponent does not need to be within his reach for the attack to be effective.

Eight Trigrams Palms Great Heavenly Spin

* Name: Hakkeshō Dai Kaiten, 八卦掌大回天, literally "Eight Trigrams Palms Great Heavenly Spin", English TV "Eight Trigrams Large Palm Rotation"
* Type: Unknown
* Users: Hyuga clan

This jutsu is simply a larger and more powerful version of the Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin.

Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin

* Name: Hakkeshō Kaiten, 八卦掌回天, literally "Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin", English TV "Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation"
* Type: Hidden, No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)

This jutsu utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a huge amount of chakra from the user's chakra points when struck. The released chakra blocks any possible attack. The user then spins themselves rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any would-be attackers. The spin also allows the user to defend the blindspot in their Byakugan.

Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms

* Name: Hakke Rokujūyon Shō, 八卦六十四掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms"
* Type: Hidden, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

This jutsu closes off sixty-four specific chakra points (tenketsu) on an opponent's body with the Gentle Fist style, effectively eliminating their ability to use chakra for quite some time and making it quite difficult for them to move. It begins with the closing of two chakra points, followed by four more, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and then sixty-four strikes. Each set of strikes is done at an increasing pace. In the anime, Neji Hyuga uses a doubled version of this attack. The symbol that appears beneath the user while performing this technique is the Taoist symbol, Bagua.

In the Naruto video games the number of strikes is halved, with the number of strikes adding up to sixty-four rather than the final blow consisting of sixty-four individual strikes.

Gentle Fist


* Name: Jūken, 柔拳, literally "Gentle Fist"
* Type: Unknown

The Gentle Fist 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. Because the chakra circulatory system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively. 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.

Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms

* Name: Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō, 八卦百二十八掌, literally "Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms" (a.k.a. "Divination Field: Divine One Hundred-Twenty Eight Strikes")
* Type: Unknown

This jutsu is essentially a doubled version of Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. Like the former, it closes off the opponent's chakra points in an exponentially increasing number of quick successive strikes. Unlike the former, it closes off twice as many at twice the speed. Alternatively, it can be used to hit a great number of targets very quickly. It has a slightly different stance than the lesser form in which the upper body is slightly rotated to the right. This stance activates the characters at the edge of the divination field to begin the technique.

Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms

* Name: Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō, 守護八卦六十四掌, literally "Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms", Ultimate Ninja 2 "Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty Four Palms"
* Type: Unknown

This jutsu is a combination of the Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin and the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. In this jutsu, Hinata emits a constant stream of chakra from her palms, creating extremely sharp chakra blades. With her natural flexibility, Hinata can reach any point around her, allowing her to hit any target within her field of vision. While using this jutsu, Hinata moves extremely fast (her movements become a blur), allowing her to hit hundreds of targets with extreme precision, much like the original Sixty-Four Palms jutsu. Additionally, Hinata can control the size of the chakra beams in her palms, allowing her to create larger, arc-shaped chakra beams that spread out across her entire attack range. This creates an "absolute defense" effect similar to that of the Heavenly Spin, though the cutting nature of the chakra prevents any outside force from restricting it. In this way, the technique can be used as both an offensive and defensive maneuver.

Other Jutsu,

Eight Trigrams, End of Chakra points.

User hits all the opponents charka points.

Eight Trigrams Two Hundred Fifty-Six Palms

The user hits the opponent in such a way that they hit all the chakra points, and hit all the locations of the organs in the body.

Final Jutsu, Eight Trigrams Godly Five Hundred Twelve Palms

The user hits the opponent so many times, every blood vessel is over flowed with chakra. This instantly kills the opponent, but the strain on the users body is so intense only masters of the Byakugan can use this jutsu without dieing. Even if they don't die they will probably not fight again.
