No one can determine… another's destiny

【 Bloodline Limit Information 】
【 Hyūga 】
└Byakugan┘ The primary ability of the Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. Upon activation of the dōjutsu, the wielder is granted an automatic 50 meter field of vision around themselves which can then be extended at their discretion.

The second ability is being able to see through solid objects, as well as telescopic sight. It can also see through most barriers, and other things such as smokescreens, differentiate between non-corporeal clones and see through techniques that would otherwise hide an opponent from normal sight. The distance and the degree of telescopic sight varies from person to person, and can be improved through training. However, the Byakugan cannot see through certain barriers, such as the Four Black Fogs Formation used by the Sound Four.The dōjutsu also has the ability to follow high-speed movement.

The third and one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see chakra, chakra flow, the chakra circulation system inside the body with great detail as well as the colour of chakra. It is from this particular ability that the Hyūga Clan are able to employ their ultimate attack style: Gentle Fist.

【 History 】
└A divided house┘ While not much is known of the clan's background, they are considered to be one of, if not currently, the most powerful clan in Konohagakure. Their notoriety and prowess stretches far and wide, leading others to both praise and covet their abilities.

The clan is separated into two parts, the Main House (宗家, Sōke) and the Branch House (分家, Bunke), a system that protects the secrets of the Byakugan from outsiders. The Main House runs the family while the Branch House protects it. The members of the Branch House are branded with a cursed seal upon the third birthday of the heir to the Main House. This seal gives the Main House members absolute control over the branch members, because they can destroy the branch members' brain cells with a simple hand seal, or cause them great pain to punish them. This seal also makes sure the secret of the Hyūga's Byakugan is safe, because it seals the Byakugan after the wearer of the seal dies. Because they are essentially servants, simply because of their birth order or heritage, some Branch House members are hostile to those of the Main House.

【 Form/Uses】
└Byakugan┘ Hyuuga's use Gentle Fist and Byakugan. We have inserted a table for increasing the Byakugan.
Increasing the Range to at max 10 KM

Costs a C rank upkeep every 3 posts
Increasing the range of this technique requires a lot of Ninja Points
For every 50 Meters beyond the initial limit, the cost is 100 Ninja Points
The cost is a increasing factor, so to increase it by 50 Meters, it costs 100 Ninja Points, to increase it by another 50 meters (100 in total) costs 200 Ninja Points.
The cost matches the distance, for 350 meters, it costs 100+200+300+400+500+600 = 2,100 Ninja Points for just 350 meters
For distances past 150 meters, the focal point becomes much smaller, to the point at 10KM its like looking through binoculars, the farther you see out, the less you see around yourself, so keep that in mind.

【 Bloodline Weaknesses 】
└Weakness┘

1. The main weakness of the Byakugan is one blind spot at the back of the neck above the third thoracic vertebra.

2. As stated above, the Byakugan cannot see through all barriers. This was seen in the Manga/Anime during the rescue Sasuke Arc. The Barrier in question being the Black Fog Formation Barrier.

2a. This anomaly appears to be Jutsu specific, and should be treated as such when dealing with the Byakugan's ability to see through barriers.

3. This is not so much a weakness but a consideration. The Byakugan was noted to have a much better insight in terms of vision. As such, terrain modifiers that affects other Dojutsu, may not work the same on the Byakugan.
