How I would Fix Naruto’s Most FORGOTTEN Clan!

[@discombobulatedecho6025]

I always found it weird that the Hyuga clan were close range fighters primarily. Which is great and all, but they would make amazing snipers and I always hoped Neji would take Kidomaru’s bow because if you can see through walls from thousands of feet away you can essentially have aim bot and kill people from a distance

[@ProjektTaku]

[@youtubewatcher6124]

Damn 🤯 If only we have a time machine, would suggest it his to Kishimoto for sure

[@bouncyknight8921]

I think a Hyuga should be the first to combine the Eight Gates and the Seven Heavenly Breath Technique, because they can literally see each other’s chakra network’s and see where chakra isn’t flowing efficiently. Or they learn how to permanently open a Gate that isn’t the 8th gate.

[@Wasnt-1]

kaguya actually shown the most stronges ability that a byakugan might've possessed and it is to amplify the range of the user's ability which on her case to the entire planet

[@robotdrz]

Given the level of chakra control byakugan users have, I am honestly surprised hyuga clan members were not pre-disposed to be really good at medical ninjutsu. Like consider the advantage of being able to effect chakra points in combat and muscle/tissue with a chakra scalpel like kabuto does.

[@LordDany]

good point probably easier to use 100 heals and those tecniques that require high control

[@stevenhankin6077]

Yeah jot to mention they would be able to see the problem on detail using the byakugan

[@Ekigane]

very true, i think one of the shippuden filler episodes abused this trait once, by having hinata assist sakura and ino in some emergency medical procedure. Honestly, the Hyuga clan traits and training that we're told about was so predisposed towards a lot of the same traits of medical ninja that i think its more likely the Hyuga clan reputation of being amazing fighters and their strict adherence to tradition made most of them not even consider that medical ninjutsu would be things they'd be great at. more of them should've been in hospitals or in the med corps uniforms in great ninja war in shippuden. Or at least there should be a bunch of them in medical field by boruto's time.

[@laharlkent]

@@Ekigane I only remember seeing like 7 members other than the fathers and the mains, Maybe the rest of the clan IS doing med stuff. don't know

[@Ekigane]

@Purple Guy true, but I mean whenever we see background med ninja or nurses/doctors, none of them appear to be Hyuga clan members. So it would've been nice if we saw them sprinkled in during hospital scenes when background staff are around, or in the medical tents during war

[@deny417]

Neji's fight with Kidomaru showed the Hyuuga's full potential too early. The main problem is that they adhere to tradition too much and don't explore anything beyond it. I'd like if Neji and Hinata truly embodied the "Aim Higher" family motto by either creating new Gentle Fist techniques and incorporating outside jutsus like you said to help mend the relationship between the branch and main family. Especially after witnessing just how powerful the Sharingan is capable of getting. Also, rather than evolving Byakugan into something else, maybe we could've seen more uses for it like how Mukai Kohinata was able to see the weak point in a jutsus and destroy it or how Kagura used hers to read minds. Maybe lock those particular abilities behind needing to infuse the Byakugan with Senjutsu chakra or something.

[@r.a.panimefan2109]

How exactly do u know hyuga are to traditional? Neji had 3 elements in d book. And a very high skill in ninjutsu. He tells Lee u need ninjutsu and genjutsu to be a ninja. The argument that oh he only uses g fist. ... ok so kakashi only knows the 30 jutsu he shows us. And not a thousand. It stands to reason neji has other things up sleave.

[@deny417]

@@r.a.panimefan2109 He knows other skills and has greater potential but never uses them.

[@mredizon00]

Nah Kishi is just a Hyuuga hater and an Uchiha simp.

[@anthonylamonica8301]

Chakra-infused projectile weaponry seems like a respectable way of increasing a Hyuga's ranged options. I've been saying that a Hyuga archer would be _horrifying_ to deal with as an opponent; you _can't_ sneak up on them, and if they can infuse their arrows with Wind-Nature Chakra or Lightning-Nature Chakra, then you won't be able to take cover either... the arrows will just punch through _everything_ on their way to you. And they can potentially do this to you from _miles_ away, beyond the range of typical sensor-type ninja. From an _offense_ standpoint, Hyuga archers are basically perfect for assassinations of high-priority targets. If a character isn't named Naruto, Gaara, A, Uchiha, or Otsutsuki, then they basically have no way to defend against Chakra-infused projectiles; and those are ones they _notice_ coming, what about Wind-Nature infused arrows from five miles away? Sure, the aftermath isn't subtle... that still doesn't un-kill the target. From a _defense_ standpoint, Hyuga are unparalleled. Just station a whole team of Hyuga archers along the outer wall of Konohagakure, and watch as serious problems within and beyond the Village wall get resolved with high-velocity pointy sticks. If someone gets past the arrows? They're still Hyuga, Gentle Fist is _always_ going to be an option, especially for when they run out of ammo.

[@TMFlesh]

That's what I'm saying. It doesn't even need to be arrows. Give them a super long-range pinpoint accurate ninjutsu that they developed specifically to use with their eyes. They shouldn't be known for gentle fist. People shouldn't normally be able to get close enough to find out what gentle fist is. They should be the deadliest clan of ninja snipers in the world.

[@riluna3695]

If you go with the eye upgrade given in the video, there's a use case - and a nice stepping stone - that wasn't mentioned. The Byakugan seeing the molding of chakra while it's still happening is a valuable step up even if you can't yet interfere with it. (which is a cool variant of Genjutsu and perfect for an eye ability flavored by Hyuga-style chakra control) Just knowing what ability someone is about to use can give you a huge edge in reaction time, dodging a hypothetically undodgable attack by moving before it's even cast, or starting your counterattack that much faster. There's a lot of really clever uses for it, and clever abilities are the best abilities :D Also if you include the genjutsu-style chakra manipulation, do yourself a HUGE favor and decide on its precise limits and capabilities early on in the process. It could so easily go wrong if you don't, which....frankly a lot of things in Naruto do exactly that.

Naruto beating Neji was ultimately plot armor. Not only did Naruto use 9 tails chakra, Neji thought the battle was over after repelling Naruto with Kaiten and subsequently disabling his Byakugan. But I completely agree, there are so many missed opportunities for the Byakugan. I had expected Neji to play a bigger role in Shippuuden since he was the ONLY one from the Konoha 12 to become a Jounin.

Honestly speaking, Neiji should have been able to create his own variation of the Eight Gates. He learned the technique from Gai so he knows how it works. Plus Gai would help modify the technique if he asked sincerely considering that he's his student too. Also, the Hyuga clan should be the most knowledgeable people in the world about how the human chalkra network works. Plus, the eight gates aren't a complete technique considering that it was created by one person who was lacking knowledge in many areas. Neiji could have even used his knowledge on chalkra networks to improve the technique and mitigate it's backlash. Would also explain why Lee is able to use it more often when he barely used it before. Finally, Hygua's have the ability to control the flow of chalkra within their tenketsu points. Neiji could have used this knowledge, worked with Gai, and created a eight gates variation specifically for Hyuga clan members using this ability. Also, while filler, we have seen eight gate variations before with the seven heavenly breathes. Lastly, we even see Sasuke imitating Lee's abilities after getting beaten by him. We could have Neiji do the same. After watching Lee using the eight gates. He admits that he would have lost in a straight up fight and then puts all his attention to learning the eight gates; creating his own variation. We could even see Lee go on a quest to perfect the eight gates adding in Neiji's improvements and adding in more improvements by seeking different experts. For example, he could seek help from a medical expert like Tsunade or Sakura who modify the technique to enhance recovery and mitigate the physical backlash. They could even create physical therapy and training methods specifically to better adapt the body for using the eight gates.

[@InfernosReaper]

Even if Neji didn't take the 8 Gates for himself, it'd be pretty cool if he helped Lee improve it and along the work out *his own* take on the concept that only Hyuga can do, even if it ends up being less dangerous to the user and weaker overall

[@MarcosAlmeida-vs3mp]

​@@InfernosReaperone thing i would have LOVED to see was a Hyuga medicine/support technique. The clan that made it's name as brutal fighters and stayed at the top by sacrificing an entire branch of their family being turned into healers by someone hurt by them is beautiful in a thematic sense, AND makes sense for controlling Chakra flow. Tsunade used chakra for healing. Who's to say a Hyuga couldn't unlock the patient's chakra and use it to boost their own healing?

Since it is a big Clan with a side branch and being considered the backbone of their military, you could do the following. Have them have multiple skill branches that Hyuga can learn once they know the basics. You could then make the main branch follow the more "noble skills" and the side branch the supporting, protecting skill branches. E.g. Main family frontline learns chakra fighting with higher speed etc. and the side branch learns protective and interception techniques. The main family learns shooting arrows from far away and the side branch learns healing. This would feed into the dynamic of the two class system within the hyuga and Neji and Hinata could break this up by each learning a skill from the main family and side branch to showcase their personal growth and power (by having learn two advanced skills unlocked).

[@achimsinn6189]

One thing the Hyugaclan was lacking was actual screentime. So the first thing I would add is that the Hyuga members could see recognice people through their chakra network. Because of that camouflage, shapeshifting or anything of that sort is hardcountered by any Hyuga member. That would have been greatly usefull during the ninja war arc because that would mean they can identify the white zetzus who infiltrated the ninja army. And because of that there would be a good reason for Hyuga members to be around everywhere on the battlefield and to be targeted by white zetzus and by other ninjas that were resurrected by edo tensai. In terms of power levels I would add 2 things - one is a way of striking chakra points without actually hitting the opponent through a short distance chakra release - something that could be told very well as part of a strategic fight where the other guy makes a point in not getting touched by the Hyuga and then it is revealed that he didn't had to actually touch him because he knows that technique that works over a short distance. The second one is to add chakra elements to their chakra releases. This could work offensively as they could then hit somebody with a burning fist or a lightning fist or water fist and in extention to that manipulate their opponents chakra even further by for example heating up their opponents body with fire or solidifying it with stone or defensively as those releases could be added to rotation for creating a permanent ice shell with water chakra or repelling stuff further away with wind chakra. If you want to be even more creative you could add special tactics like a wind chakra tornado causes by a version of wind chakra rotation or a lion fist that additionally stuns opponents with lightning chakra. But again that all can only work if the Hyuga clan gets enogh screen time to actually show all those moves in fights.

The problem was ultimately the sharingan became the ultimate "i can do anything bullshit tool". The orignal idea was the Sharingan gives you this ability to basically track your opponent perfectly to the point you are almost reading into the future, while it was hinted early on that it is also a buff to genjutsu users. You could also use its tracking abilities to teach yourself new jutsus quickly, so lets say you never once did water dragon, you could learn water dragon in a near instant just by watching someone do the hand signs. Zabuza vs Kakashi being the coolest version of this display. Making this the Ideal tool for Ninjitsu specialists and later on Genjutsu. The Byakugan while not having any genjutsu buffs, and not having the level of foresight that the Sharingan offered, had a different approach in tracking people which in some ways was considered superior with the fact it basically gave you x ray vision so you knew where to hit your opponent perfectly. And with how it worked you also had near 360 degree vision making it so you had nearly no blind spots when fighting. The perfect tool for Tai Jutsu specialists. But Notice how Byakugan is the ultimate tool for Tai jutsu, while Sharingan covers both Ninjitsu and Genjutsu while also being pretty useful for Tai jutsu as well. That's where Byakugan became worthless in comparison. Sharingan did everything. While it lacked the x ray vision of Byakugan, the fact it did everything else made it the superior ninja tool, to than be given buff, after buff after buff.

[@InfernosReaper]

It's honestly kinda weird that Sharingan got both Ninjutsu and Genjutsu while Byakugan only got Taijutsu... Then again, it's also weird that one can see the flow of chakra in someone and not be able to figure out what move they're doing and learn how to do it, so I guess *both* should've had stealing Ninjutsu abilities with the difference being Taijutsu vs Genjutsu

Something struck me about the "rotation" ability. It kind of reminds me of the Rasengan, and while it was brief they did explain with Naruto's first use of the Rasen Shurikan that when it struck the chakra became unstable and shattered into tiny needles that just destroyed the chakra network. I can imagine with the Hyuga's precise chakra control and the ability to shoot chakra out of any point in their body that by simply replicating the biproduct of Naruto's Wind ability they wouldn't even need to touch their opponent to break their chakra network down. it would be an explosive technique that is devastating to anyone hit by it.

[@whiteflame24]

I always thought it made more sense that Minato developed the rasengan after watching the hyuga rather than basing it after a tailed beast ball because we never see minato confronting a tailed beast besides kurama. I mean the rasengan is literally just a hyuga rotation concentrated in your hand.

Though i do agree that it's possible that the Hyuga Rotation might also be inspiration for how to control the flow of chakra as a beast bomb is basically nothing more than hyper condensed chakra. It certainly would help the case of Boroto who is blood related to the Hyuga main family. in where he was able to learn the Rasengan so easily compared to Naruto, or even Jiraya or Minato himself.

[@Yanhime97]

Honestly, I think a big problem with characters from those clans, not just the Hyuga, is that they tend to feel super homogenised. Every Hyuga just uses Byakugan/Gentle Fist, every Nara uses their shadow possession, Akamichis with their expansion, Uchihas with Sharingan/Fire Style etc. None of them ever think to learn any jutsu from their chakra nature or a bit of genjutsu or.. anything? Makes them all feel like iterations of each other, and makes it super easy to just pick one character and say "yep, they're the best from this clan cause they do the clan's stuff better than anyone else," whereas they could stand out a bit more if they did other things. Like, if Shikamaru learned some genjutsu to use on the people he trapped with Shadow Possession to ensure they stayed down. Or even things like you mentioned in the video about releasing chakra from tenketsu points to achieve different results like barriers or flight. Sure, it's still derived from the Hyuga's Gentle Fist in a way but it's applying their skills in a new way.

[@Zept-01]

Your description of a potential upgrade to the use of Rotation is something I always thought would eventually happen but they never did. Or like how in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, a similar technique to Rotation, the Seikūken became the more refined/more efficient Ryūsui Seikūken. Another way I am surprised Hyuga never exploited their eyes is like how Transparent World in Demon Slayer is used. They're masters of hand to hand fighting so they should be familiar with how a human body moves when it attacks/dodges/feints/ect.

Also the Hyuga Clan should learn Sage Mode. They've already got great chakra control, so it shouldn't be that hard to learn, and injecting Natural Energy into an opponent to turn them into stone sounds pretty boss. Plus adding a slight range boost to taijutsu, with gentle fist. Oh, and the sensory boost Sage Mode provides could cover for that blind spot.

[@shadowslayer9988]

To learn sage mode you also need high Chakra reserves which the Hygua clan is not known for having.

[@kingkaroth]

This is the right answer, using actual facts from the show.. It makes sense that like Juugo's bloodline being related to Kaguya( like everyone..) and their natural ability to see "energy" and control it they may have innate Natural chakra control.(although training needed) Sage mode makes the most sense. It also makes sense as Naruto's daughter needs a chakra cloak.. it makes sense that she may have a sage mode through Hyuuga ability's and the clear Uzumaki Sealing/Chakra-reserves she should unlock one.. But to that we know Hyuuga have a sage mode that is extremely unique and impossible to replicate on small scale.. However, Hinata had that "godly" chakra in her at one point its gone now.. But years later she gave birth to her daughter who may now have a very small sliver of god "ki" so we can see how that may unlock a new in between eye that gives a sage mode.

[@opaluni]

Actually, I think the best way to make the Hyuuga relevant is to actually acknowledge and play with the political aspects of the Naruto-verse. Lean into it fully. The Hyuuga operating in the background, but are still living with a reminder of what happened to the Uchiha clan. A powerful clan, feared yet full of vinegar. While the Hyuuga are likened to honey. Full of decorum, rules, restrictions and aristocratic facades. The Uchiha ran hot; while the Hyuuga ran cold. This clan is one of the 4 noble clans with connections and personal treaties in other lands. And they should've had a major presence or at least reputation in the capital. I've seen this written extremely well in fanfiction. Portraying this clan as a living breathing culture with the walls of Konoha. Think about it. We have a Main branch that considers itself superior and lives worth more than their brethren. Then you have the lesser branch, walking on eggshells, indoctrinated, sometimes fearful, resentful, angry and subjugated. Sacrificial lambs for the slaughter. Yet overall the Hyuuga are massively secretive and tight fisted about their lineage and bloodlines. So, Neji would've never been able to marry TenTen unless he was free; which never happened in the series. Hinata married out, because it was a political and social gain for the Hyuuga to be closer to the Hokage seat by blood. Since becoming Hokage is steeped in nepotism. The Hyuuga play chess, not checkers. Next, since Neji was literally the main focus into the clan...we should've been introduced to varying POV's. We get a sense of heavy restrictions placed on Neji from the get go. He's serving a heiress he doesn't think is worth it. He wants her to be. He wants his father's sacrifice to mean something. And we could even throw in some latent feelings he could've had from childhood that turned in resentment. Neji is cool and stern on the outside, but on the inside he wishes, hopes and burns for change. Hinata in the beginning was a little interesting; especially when it seems she was going to try to change and do what needed to be done to be a proper heiress, prove her father wrong and etc... But Hinata's lovesick devotion to Naruto eclipses all that and erases any drive she had to move forward. Hinata is just disconnected from the Hyuuga storyline. When she needed to be front and center. The odd one out, too soft and emotional yet simultaneously self loathing and indifferent. She was raised knowing about the slave branch, the mark, the Hyuuga council and all that has been whispered about her behind closed doors. Hinata...if anyone, should've never been a fool. I could see her training relentlessly, but also feeling hopeless at the prospect of trying to surpass Neji and keeping some semblance of sisterly bonds with Hanabi. Despite being second best yet needing to keep on an even level to beat her in keeping her title. Hinata should've been shown struggling to balance aristocratic behavior, internal mutiny, love sickness that was blind adoration and equal frustration for a boy that could beat the odds and still keep smiling. While she sunk deeper into uncertainty needing to keep up appearances. That would explain her anxiety and kinda icy, disassociation at times. Hinata keeps a tight lid on her true feelings. And doesn't say what she wants or means. Hinata would speak in euphemisms or in a generous way that could be taken positively or open ended. I don't see her as the type to be bold and daring without weighing the pros and cons. Also, I hate the idea of this "perfect" waifu Hinata. Show her struggling. Show her with subtle vices. Show her love for Naruto as strength but also a vice, because she knows he love ls another girl and despite that ...despite feeling inadequate and internally knowing Naruto would never look at her...she hopes, because deep down...she doesn't want to face the reality of her clan duties, her life, the privilege and pitfalls. She wants a boy to save her and Neji serves a cold reality. A daily reminder that responsibility can't be escaped. Hinata did express some selfishness when it comes to fighting to protect Naruto, because she felt she would've have a chance to express them. And it was anyone else she never would've stepped out. I think Hinata does share some Hyuuga traits in this instance. The sense of entitlement that's latent. Because he's all she ever wanted to really reach for. 🤷‍♀️ The relationship with Neji should've been pivotal, as well. Both are teaching the other something new. Or even Hinata stalking Naruto could've had her noticing Sasuke using lightning release and given her an idea. Since she uses lightning and water. This is why Sasuhina fics usually have Sasuke helping Hinata innovate her fighting style and techniques. The Hyuuga are about tradition. 🙃 Lastly, the Hyuuga could've given us awesome storylines. Imagine an entire compound full of people you rarely see. The Hyuuga males fight and are shown once in a while, but their women are under lock and key. They don't really mix with the village. And the only Hyuuga in the academy are clan heads. That's it. The entire issue of freedom was never even acknowledged or mentioned. I think fans have done a far better job at writing about the Hyuuga and portraying their capabilities in ways that Kishimoto could only dream of. 💜

Should have been ghost writing for Kishimoto. I love the idea of focusing on the political side of the Hyuuga, especially the newer generations striving for even a LITTLE change in any way they can, especially in techniques. A still living Neji would have essentially just been Kenshiro after the war ended with the sheer diligence and improvement he showed. I especially want to see how much more they changed with the Boruto era now that one of their oldest clan traditions of refusing to marry outside the clan has gone by the wayside. What else has changed now that the village is starting to see this clan of reclusive weirdos who just happen to have CRAZY political power opening up? Are they calling back those branch families that have gotten so distant they don't even get Byakugans anymore? Are they sending their clan members out to pick up some tricks from the rest of the village (helping out at the hospital/training with Lee and Gai to open the Gates/getting really into ninja tech)? I wanna know bro! Now that I think about it, how are they with folks who've tried or succeeded in stealing Byakugans? Are they noticeably tense around Cloud ninjas? Did Ao have to avoid Hyuuga hit squads sent to seek and destroy before the war?

[@thomasthecoolkid7228]

I actually have previously thought of an upgrade to the Byakugan... kinda. I heard in this one explanatory KZbin short about the Byakugan and its drawbacks that the reason for the veins around the eyes is because the Hyuga focus a lot of their blood into their eyes to use the Byakugan. Hence, I decided to basically combine it with the Vermillion Eye from Demon Slayer. A forbidden technique of the Hyuga clan that has them focus even more blood into their eyes, turning the sclerae a deep crimson. It enhances the user's already-incredible visual prowess even further, allowing them to see even further than normal and, like a user of the Sharingan, precisely read the opponent's movements and chakra flow to predict what techniques they will use. This enhanced perception allows for an absolute precision that is unrivaled in the ninja world, making the user untouchable and unstoppable... but there is a great risk, which is why it was forbidden. Overuse of the Byakugan can already leave a Hyuga temporarily blind (as seen at one point with Neji), and with this technique, one risks _irreversible_ damage to their eyes, possibly closing one's Byakugan forever. *Eight Trigrams: Crimson Lotus*

Himawari needs to learn Flying Raijin using Minato's method of throwing kunai. With the range limitations of the Hyuga, a way to close the gap would make any of them a broken character against a lot of threats in Naruto and Boruto.

Perfect when combined with tentens spin technique, imagine this Hima is fighting either a group or just one person. What does she do? Jump up and spin in circles causing hundreds or maybe thousands of kunai to fill the battlefield and it seems like she's just throwing kunai that miss so the enemy is a bit relaxed knowing they didn't get hit, but then himawari has hundreds or even thousands of kunai/seals she can teleport to all across a giant battlefield as the only thing that stopped minato from doing dbz style attacks (like instant transmission combos) was the fact he didn't have kunai EVERYWHERE and he only used like 2 in battle.

[@maplesyrupphilosopher6886]

Honestly something that I had expected to see back in the day was after the chakra point explanation about improving or shutting down chakra flow was: after seeing Neji showing off shutting it down I really thought they’d pair Neji and Lee for some 2v1 and while both are fighting Neji would slip jabs at Lee ramping him up over the course of the fight. Would’ve been a neat way to show point manipulation for Neji, a showcase for Lee’s strength, and a great team building experience for both of them. .. then Neji died 😂💀

If we see chakra points like pressure points, the Hyuga clan should have a unique set of healing jutsu and buffing jutsu.

"Naruto at age 12, with no control over Kurama-" I'm sorry? Naruto literally calls upon the power of the 9 tailed fox in order to overcome Neji shutting down his chakra network. It's a big moment in the fight as a payoff to his training with Jiraiya and to show how far he’s come from the forest of death where he was tapping into it on pure instinct, it’s a moment observed by several people including the 3rd Hokage. Sure, he's not like whipping out a tailed cloak or anything to that extent, but it's very much by his choice. Even with the sizeable amp he gets from Kurama's chakra, they at best draw in their final clash with both being able to get up and continue. Neji loss ultimately comes down to him being so in his head about proving, mostly to himself, that his philosophy is right that he, by his own admission, stupidly forgets that Naruto's signature technique is the shadow clone and as a result gets blindsided by Naruto for the win. Neji’s loss isn’t because he lacked the skill or power, it’s because he let his emotions and family baggage get the better of him to the point where it clouded his judgement. Not to say I disagree that the clan peaked way to early.

Plus it would just be ironic that in purging the Uchiha they'd nearly destroyed one required bloodlines to gain a Rennigan.

[@hasseo195]

Buffs for Hyuuga: Add ninjutsu to the juuken. When they have close combat attacks, that attack the chakra flow and points, than, should they be even able to use Ninjutsu, that target this points. Even Sasuke attacked this points with chidori senbon in the movie. Or, Kishimotgo should maked it more clear, what the juuken can. In the novel was a half Hyuuga able, to cut a fireball with his finger, without burning himself. So, give them more attacks to destroy ninjutsu. The uchiha was strong in it. The Hyuuga was strong in meele. They would be more balanced, if the Hyuuga had attacks to destroy the ninjutsu (esspecial SUsanno should be weak agains the juuken, because it is only a mass of chakra).

[@MrEagorath]

adding releases to their juuken would basically make them ripoffs to a degree to Kakashi's Raikiri and the lightningspear of the 3rd Raikage, whilst that would only be in the lightning department, it would also just be concidered that "they just changed the release... it's doing the same thing" argument

[@ravina6686]

I loved the Hyuuga drama a lot in pre-shippuden and always thought it was really weird that all the clans problems kinda seemed to have been resolved after the Chunnin exams? Neji's issues with destiny were challenged but fundamentally nothing changed, I expected some follow up. Plus he was kinda implied to be one of the strongest in the gen in the exams + being the only one to become Jounin early. A really odd character to drop considering all the work done to build him up with good backstory and hyped potential. This is the fanfic writer in me speaking, but Neji should have had more interaction with Sasuke. They were foreshadowed to fight plus they are both dojustu users. Not only that they actually have a potential lead into each other's stories with Neji being all 'the strong are born strong and we are slaves to our fates' while Sasuke was raised to think that he'd never surpass Itachi's strength and that 'his hate would never be strong enough. He would always be weak.' We think of Sasuke as a genius, but from Sasuke's pov he was always playing catchup to Itachi and was trying to overcome his weaknesses. But while Sasuke was willing to do anything to gain power and push past his 'fate' Neji was a lot more defeatist. So a fight between them could have introduced the inferiority Itach-Sasuke conflict and also been a better wakeup call to 'you can change your fate' for Neji than a Neji-Naruto fight that was won using Kyuubi power. Though Sasuke teaching Neji that if your willing to do anything you can make your own destiny is a mixed bag. It could inspire Neji to get stronger and look for ways to change the Hyuuga even if it means swallowing his own pride and pushing past norms, risking it all. Or it could encourage him to use any means necessary to break free from the Hyuuga and be truly free, including leaving the village and going rogue. Eh, this is not so much how to buff the Hyuuga but some ways to rewrite Neji's character and the Hyuuga conflict in general.

[@InfernosReaper]

To be real, Neji should've fought Sasuke instead of Naruto/Sasuke should've fought Neji instead of Gaara. Fighting Gaara to avenge Lee was definitely more Naruto's thing and the clash of ideals between Neji and Sasuke would've had more depth than Neji losing to a guy who was born with more power than him....

[@thesourpatchkidd579]

Another simple yet very powerful upgrade is giving them the ability to absorb the chakra in ninjutsu, nullifying it as long as there isn't too much chakra or its not a sage jutsu. This would further align them with the Otsutsuki who (most) can absorb or nullify ninjutsu, and it wouldn't be a stretch at all since they can expel chakra from their chakra points, mold that chakra into constructs, and the twin lion fists takes your chakra when you're hit with them. It's strong but not broken.

I had two thoughts for an upgrade, both involving the chakra points. One way was, instead of shutting down or destroying them, have the chakra basically go out of control and make the person a type of bomb. Say the skill and precision needed to do that to chakra pathways is insanely high and that the byakugon vision got more fine-tuned. Two, they could figure out how to work the gentle fist on themselves as a way to supercharge their chakra for a pseudo "eight gates" like transformation, which lets them use new techniques along with a power upgrade.

[@MrShadez366]

Love the vid. Allowed me to think of cool things thats hyuga clan members could do: 1. Combinging the air palm and twin lion fist- launching the lions as a projectile ( hyuga's version of a hirudora) 2. Combing gentle fist with elemental release- imbue lightning release to ur fist to shock ur opponent internally or wind release to cut their tenketsu points from the inside. 3. Rotation shockwave- picture a rotating shinra tensei 4. Sage mode gentle fist- combining frog kata and gentle fist seems like it would be broken. Or the frog strike which is a shockwave of nature energy, by applying that maybe u could shut down more than 1 tenketsu with just 1 strike 5. Chakra arms- just like kcm naruto is able to use kurama chakra arms for range, imagine that in the hands of a master gentle fist user 6. Upgrade fighting technique- the gentle fist is cool and all, but what if they applied other attackes like using kicks and elbow strikes (might not be called gentle fist but would be more versatile). Imagine a kick that takes your chakra. 7. Awakening- full 360° vision with no blind spot, precognition like the sharingan, faster reaction speed ofc, as stated in the vid injecting chakra through the eyes to shut chakra network down, give who ever awakens this their own abilities (like how the ms does) so long as it can be worked into their fighting style The thought of neji punching tf out ur tenketsu points is funny 😂😂.

It would give them more power, where they need force (and a hit with a chakra drill should allready kill the target or give critical wounds).

Some clans and their members just have that low ceiling or early game (early life) advantage high and prime like Kiba. he was dealing with sound 4 member much easier than the rest of posse that went to retrieve Sasuke. Because sensory ability and dog companion and raw physicality. But Kiba gets power crept also as the main heroes reach new altitudes and sage Naruto has better sensory abilities and is stronger in raw strength and can summon frog summons. Thats how it goes in life. Like something that's your potential apex and ceiling as a human being, can be my low and floor.

I wish that in between Naruto and Shippuden that Neji and Rock Lee trained together. Throughout the first series Neji gets a bit of a reality check by seeing what Rock Lee can do with the Gates, and by getting beaten by Naruto. Then he wins a fight but barely survives and learns that Naruto got beaten by Sauske. This would have been a real humbling moment for Neji as he understands hes not the strongest of the 13 anymore, and in reality hes falling further and further behind. Ideally i'd love in the last moments of Pre Shippuden Naruto if Neji went to Rock Lee and asked him for help in training. Then during the time skip they work together, Neji teaching Rock Lee to use his chakra control to do things like Morning Peacock (only with air instead of Fire) and Rock Lee could teach Neji how to use the gates to improve his Taijutsu. That would let Neji do things with his gentle fist and Byakugan that no other Hyuga could while emphasizing a major theme of the show, "working together as a team improves both sides".

Older video, but here are my two cents. I think the biggest problem with the concept of the Hyuga is the lack of diversity in their move set. They are said to be the majority of Konoha's military, which means that most of the army would be close quarters, right on the front lines. That would leave a large force quite susceptible to area of effect jutsu. I think there should be different corps amongst the Hyuga. One of them being archers. Think about it, they can see through obstacles for, on average, 1 km. That is an insane range advantage that their close quarters style does absolutely nothing to take advantage of. On top of that, they could create a jutsu similar to Hiruzen's shuriken shadow clone jutsu to multiply each shot. Imagine 20 Hyuga clan archers fire a volley from 1,000 feet away, then suddenly the enemy is pelted with a wall of 200 arrows. Or maybe they could take inspiration from the puppeteers from the hidden sand and connect an arrow with a chakra thread that let's them control the trajectory. Hell, maybe they shoot an arrow made of lighting chakra from three football fields away that travels at lighting speed and is so precise that they can hit and disrupt tenketsu. This would at least weaken the enemy and let their allies come in and mop up the enemy if it doesn't outright kill them. I really think the Hyuga are the most under utilized clan in Naruto. And they should be significantly more relevant since they are a more "pure" version of what the Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki are to Hagoromo.

7 heaven breathing. could of been what the hyuga needed. not having it as some bs filler. also the filler where Hinata uses pretty much lasers that should of been pulled into canon also. the hyuga using abilities like the uchiha would be neat because they are rivals. they should have stuff to compete with their abilities. like the susanoo. something I thought of was the 8 gates. it gives the users veins kind of like the byakugan does. maybe the 8 gates was made by the hyuga and Might Guy's dad might of learned it from them. or maybe a Hyuga was practicing opening the 8 gates on others and just used him as a test. not meaning to teach him how but giving it to him in away. they could use the 7 heavens to use the 8 gates safely. but it being the 7 heavens it can signal that they couldn't find away to make the 8th gate safe. might guy learning something of the hyuga and Kakashi getting the sharingan from the uchiha its a neat little mirror. but yeah the hyuga having the 8 gates but not using them unless they know the 7 heavens would be a neat little thing. like oh people can learn the 8 gates whatever let them kill themselves but we know how to use it safely. for the most part. like its a combo ability and people that learn one has to learn the other. other wise it kills them.

[@LSgaming201]

What if the Hyuga's reputation was just a massive psyop? They're just far enough ahead of baseline ninja that they could claim to be much stronger than they actually are and most people would buy it. Especially because of the fearsome reputation dojutsu have.

[@Redirectingtosomeonewhocares]

And the hyuga should be genjutsu experts, since they can see chakra they should be able to manipulate it more efficiently than any other clan (including the uchiha)and be able to break themselves out of it, I feel like it was a missed opportunity and also nick I've been asking for a full tenseigan vid for over a month now....when is it coming

[@lastzulu180]

That Uchiha plot armor is something serious

[@JL-bm2sp]

outside of the last its just Hinata ran in to help Naruto, she got spanked, she is in the hospital but will live and go home the next day to cook.

[@silver_shadow1211]

it's a pity how many people think they're first😂🤣

Why u talkin bout yourself?

[@KongGig]

My thought was to draw inspiration from the Pain Pull and Push skill, however with a focus on Chakra. That is, the first moment lets the user do an strong 1 Almighty fist that blocks incoming chakra (Fire, Water, even people holding chakra) around a 360 deegre at and max distant of 300m. This would be an uppgrade version to the spin Def move. The second move lets the user take the Chakra control to the next level, by pulling chakra towards the use, of which the user can follow up with Gentle fist...This move would solve the problem of having long distant enemies. Both of these moves have obvious weaknesses, namely the opponent must have chakra for these moves to work, which is good as these moves are too strong.

[@michaeltuitt2847]

It's not that Hinata is the only person that can use Twin Lions Fist, Its more that she's never taught it to anyone else since she is the creator of it. If she were to teach it then anyone in the Hyuga clan with the skill level to learn it can. the question is why she never taught such an incredible skill to anyone else, not even Neji. Could you imagine a combination of Twin Lions Fist and Air Palm!

[@glitchking666]

The 3 upgrades to the Byakugan i would propose would be them to find a way to use less blood so it doesn't become obvious when its being used, second would no longer require activation or deactivation, its always on and doesn't strain the eye or charcka as much and to finally cover the Blindspot. I really believe the best course of action for the Hyuga clan is to become puppet masters. The can control more puppts than anyone else due them being able to expell and control chakra from any chakra point, they can use gentle fist through the puppet giving them more range they would be able to see the entire battle field so they wouldn't be as limited as the red Scorpion. And imagine if the lion head cloak idea over a puppet basically a small little Voltron five lion heads over a construct that is also taking chackra form the enemy to charge the attacks against them.

[@nejihyuga2895]

I would love to get sage mode. i wonder if i could fight pain and madara

[@waterbender6427]

“Very gen Z of him” definitely got a chuckle out of me. Well done

[@akagunther]

Wait so you are telling me that "technically" Boruto(Now almost fully Otsutsuki) could take the eye's of a Hyuga clan member and awaken a Tenseigan potentially 😱🧐

[@shadow-faye]

The "shut down chakra from a distance" idea could be something like adamantine sealing chains as well

[@Gojocular]

I have a pretty detailed upgrade for the Byakugan if you wanna hear it.. 🤷‍♂️😂

[@shadow-faye]

@@Gojocular all ears

[@Gojocular]

@@shadow-faye Hyuga were supposed to rival Uchiha so.. “Mongekyofie” the Byakugan😂🤷‍♂️ Upgrade to the Hyuga’s ranged abilities. How it would work theoretically; Completely opposite of the MS it’s unlocked by removing emotions as a driving force for their actions rather than strong emotional responses, then give them unique chakra colours to indicate level of chakra control, which gives them a soft cap to their abilities in this order; Red, orange, yellow, purple, blue, green With red being the highest. Some examples of specific abilities; 1)Chakra throwing weapons that are completely unique to each individual (The same as chakra imbued ninja tools but not physical weapons, pure chakra) Which can be used to either shut down chakra points at range. (green) 1B)Or to cut/pierce physically depending on how much chakra is used of course. (blue- Max range 164ft) 2)Pure chakra Chidori-spear (Which works exactly like Sasuke’s jutsu except no lightning chakra nature change) to either pierce/slice chakra flow rather than individual chakra points, stopping all flow to that particular area of the body. (purple) 2B)Or depending on how much chakra is used, even piercing/slicing physically. (yellow- max range 66ft) 3)Disrupt the chakra flow of anyone (only in direct line of sight of the user and not through physical objects of any kind) to either release a genjutsu/stop a jutsu activation/deactivate a jutsu. (orange) 3B)Or a somewhat breakable paralysis (Similar to how a normal Sharingan genjutsu works, minus the illusions) depending on how much chakra is used. (red- max range 656ft)

[@trixtheghostwalker6634]

Why not hugya clan member learn sage mode like Hinata with sage mode

[@MrAkatsuki42]

Neji technically has 8 trigrams 128 palms which he uses in the fight with kidomaru, too bad he never uses it again.

[@horae6528]

neji is effectively the same as majin buu from dragon ball. too strong from the start, defeated by the mc, recruited onto the good and fair side indefinetly, invaluable asset for any fight, underused because the hax are too obnoxious to write around. sucks to see both of my most beloved groups be forced far away from the spotlight so often. also neji died in such a stupid way i still can't believe it did happen.

[@FaigelAsra]

Hopefully Himawari’s training during the time skip brings something new

[@nestorrocha7142]

Haven't watched the video yet, but here's how I'd do it. In order to improve the Hyuga clan, I'd play to their strengths. They're essentially, the opposite of the Uchiha. Where the Uchiha are Yin aligned, tha Hyuga are Yang aligned. They have their stupid OP see-through vision, good chackra control by default that only increases by training in their clan techniques and chakra aligned to yang. They're basically born as disgustingly OP medical ninja prospects. Imagine an entire clan full of master medics. They can use gentle fist to operate inside patients without opening them up and can see through the patients to see exactly what they're doing Their potent yang chakra would make their healing better than the average medic. They're also good at seals. Change their curse seal with a strength of a hundred seal and the entire clan turn absolutely terrifying. Since yang chakra is substance, they could create solid chakra constructs like the twin lions but make say, bows instead. I say this because normal bows are useless and slow to high level ninja, making the bows from their chakra would make them as potent as could be sustained by the user. Like Sasuke's susano'o's bow. Imagine the Hyuga sniping you from 20 Km away with chakra sapping/sealing chakra arrows. Use the 64 palms arm acceleretation principle to turn that sniper into a sniping machine gun. Use from and nature transformation to create elemental arrows, like mini indra's arrows.

[@Barnuses]

One aspect of the Gentle Fist that doesn't get brought up a lot is being able to increase the flow of chakra. The Hyuga could use it to buff team members to make their abilities more powerful due to more chakra that can be pumped into it quicker and of course draining chakra faster. Like a mini 8 Gates buff to almost anyone. They could also add nature chakra to their Rotation and turn themselves into a Rasenshuriken or whatever element they use. Given their mastery over chakra control, wouldn't they theoretically be good at using sage chakra? I don't know if they have the requisite large chakra pool for it though. Maybe not a full sage mode transformation but perhaps enough to buff their air palms or something. Also, Kaguya used her Byakugan to extend the range of her genjutsu. So in theory a Hyuga could do the same, as suggested with disrupting jutsu. Or combine with other ninja to increase the range of the Yamanaka clan's mind jutsu or something.

[@scorpionor9865]

The problem is Kishimoto keeps calling everyone genius: Minato, Kakashi, Itachi, Neji, Hiruzen, Tobirama, Shikamaru…. To hype up people, he always introduced new characters like they were very strong, very dangerous.

[@scorpionor9865]

In additional, Fugaku, Sakumo, Kagami, Shisui…. Many shinobi from Konoha were always described like the fear for all villages. The powerscale was fucked up so often 😂 but I understand it, Kishimoto had deadline every week for 15 years nonstop. That’s still amazing work and effort. (Sr for my bad English)

[@CreamyGoodness]

12:30 only been relevant because she was made to be Naruto's wife for some weird reason. It never really fit them and it made her a pretty lackluster, lame character overall. Having a crush on someone is not something that makes you a good character or give you reason to be one of the most relevant.

[@anywere98]

Another clan that never got any sort of upgrade is the Inuzuka clan. Like Kiba legit uses the exact same TWO jutsus in the war arc as he used in original Naruto

[@lilvirtuai8738]

It’s even worse when they make him completely broken in ninja storm 4 😂
