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

[deny]

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.

[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.

[bouncyknight]

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.

[anthonylamonica]

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.

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.

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. This implied that he wasn't demotivated after the naruto battle but pushed further than anyone else.

[Skungalunga]

As you said., the framework for Hyuga is already there. It's just a matter for them to piece it together. No other power ups needed. They are already closer to Otsutsuki than any other clan. We just need Himawari to nagatoro Metal Lee.

[ZayThGod]

When the hyuga where first introduced I was really interested in them and I wanted to learn more about them as the series progressed the clan has been constantly getting bullied and the only clan that matters now is the uchiha clan 💀

[mikagesama]

As a Neji fangirl and fanfiction writer, these ideas are sound. I may implement and/or modify a few for a story I'm currently working on. The Hyūga deserved much more respect and reverence than what Kishimoto gave them in Shippuden, especially since they descend from Hagoromo's twin brother Hamura. With this video, you have earned a like and a subscription. Well done.

[oghaze]

Hyuga never really needed fixing though, their potential was already broken. What they really needed was screen time (mainly some of that Uchiha plot armor)

[Noivax]

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).

[greatikechukwu]

You know, something that has actually been creeping into oblivion, like the Hyuga, is the Sasuke tattoo Nick promised *THE WEEB COMMANDER* subscribers months ago... But we're not letting it go into oblivion. We'll revive it and remind Nick... Have a GREAT day...😂😂😂

[achimsinn]

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.

In all of Naruto ive been waiting for this exact subject to be covered. The Hyuga and Neji were my potential favorite from the beginning and the greatest potential wasted...Your upgrades translate well as what i wanted to see the whole time. Great job

[madmaxiemartialartsnerd]

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.

[blakeeast]

The Hyuga clan has eternally been my favorite. But some stuff that always bothered me was why they never molded chakra natures into their techniques, why they never used Genjutsu, why aren’t there more children in the clan? Lol

I’m hoping Hima gets a semi dark Deku phase and reinvents what’s possible, because you know she’s about to have been adopted by her grandpa….. but so is Kiwaki…. Which is bound to set off some red flags….

[Symbolik-]

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.

[SpammytheHedgehog]

Imagine if the Hyūga Clan started merging Byakugan and getting the Eternal Byakugan.

[hunterlavish]

Neji was my favorite character from the original genin cast and I'm so disappointed in how under utilized he was. This video covers like exactly what I would want plus so much more! I pictured them being able to do a compressed air palm like an air senbon and be able to hit the tenketsu points from range. Definitely hope we see Himiwari get an MS equivalent of Byakugan. And a Twin Lion Cloak Mode would be crazy, I love that idea.

I'm glad Gale Palm gets worked into Borutos fighting style though.
