The Unknown Goddess: A Naruto Fan-fic

Chapter 12

The Uchiha clan

Athena could never understand them. For some reason they were almost always the cause of practically every conflict and war in the world of Shinobi. What is it with this clan and their absolute urge to rule? Athena honestly found that they had a superiority complex. If they are not in charge they feel weak. That is Athena's belief. Another thing she could never understand. It is said that the Uchiha clan is the strongest dojutsu clan. She wasn't sure if they were seen as the strongest clan in every other aspect. She didn't agree with that. In her personal opinion that she will never change, the Hyuga clan is the strongest dojutsu clan. She wasn't so sure about the strongest clan overall. She'll look into that. The sharingan could only copy until it hits the mangekyo where it gets seriously over powered. There's also the strong genjutsu they could put you in of course. That didn't seem all that powerful to her. The Hyuga clan on the other hand.

The Byakugan could see incredibly far in any direction. It has been noted that Neji had a visual range of over 800 meters. Plus the byakugan allows 360° area around their body except for that 1% blind spot not a lot of people know about. Their ability to see chakra points and internal chakra flow allows them exceptional control over the ability to release certain amount of chakra at specific points of their body allowing their rotation or ultimate defense. They can also see through solid objects. Literally X-ray vision accompanied by telescopic and microscopic vision along with a gift of insight. Their focus on fighting made them the only clan to strongly focus on taijutsu. The gentle fist technique doesn't need an axtensive amount of chakra, one of the reasons a Hyuga could not be outlasted in combat. An experienced byakugan user can use their gift to temporarily close off an opponent's various flows of chakra with carefully placed chakra blows, rendering the opponent unable to move the bodypart that had been struck. They can even kill a person if they seal off the right chakra points. The Hyuga are the masters of chakra control and hand to hand combat. And we know a certain Uchiha could not beat Lee despite his actvated sharingan. And Lee could not beat Neji a Hyuga. Although maybe that doesn't count seeing as Neji was a prodigy among them.

Now moving on to another subject that fueled Athena's belief.

Breaking a standard genjutsu is not hard for a skilled ninja, so comparing just the eye abilities of both clans Athena came to the conclusion that an Uchiha would be incapable of taking out a Hyuga in a fight. Even if they could read a hyuga's movements the Hyuga clan is trained much more thoroughly in the arts of taijutsu and always know the exact place that needed to be hit. An Uchiha would not be able to keep up with every single blow, as we've seen with Lee and Sasuke's match. Plus one hit would be enough to criple an Uchiha, if the right spot was hit. So close combat goes to the Hyuga.

The sharingan being able to see through any genjutsu would be useless. Hyugas don't focus on genjutsu. They rarely use jutsu to begin with. Casting a genjustu typically took a little time, but where is an Uchiha going to get that time when a Hyuga can know exactly where they are? It's not like they could run and hide or set up some master ambush while the byakugan is activated.

Now these are the reason Athena believes the Hyuga clan to be the strongest dojutsu clan.

The reason the Uchiha are so overpowered is because of their cheats. The mangekyo. Eternal mangekyo. The rinnegan. The rinne-sharingan did not count. They needed to be super overpowered for plot reasons.

In terms of max power, Rinnegan vs Tenseigan if the rinnegan is the strongest level the Uchiha eye can reach and the Tenseigan the highest the Hyuga eye can reach then they should be comparable. Rinnegan can create a moon. Tenseigan can control of destroy it. Rinnegan can bring the dead back to life. Tenseigan can rebirth a planet.

She also found that if the Hyugas were interested in their eye secret like the Uchihas were, they could have been stronger. It's their lack of drive tk discover more that they seem weaker.
