They would not however be able to foresee the opponent potentially sidestepping it and cutting their head off as they zoom past.

That's where the Sharingan, and it's broken ability to practically give the user precognition comes into play. I've never seen it stated that the Byakugan also had that ability, so while the tunnel vision itself could be resolved, the fact they would not be able to predict where the target is going to move, and adjust accordingly while moving would still be the problem.

You're forgetting the part of the Chidori that requires you to also be moving in a straight line at crazy speeds. A Byakugan user may be able to see the someone moving out the way, but because they didn't look into the future to do it, they most likely won't be fast enough to make the adjustments, while moving.

Not saying it's not impossible, but yeah. Man you guys are getting a bit ridiculous now @Thekillman has given numerous examples of ninjas who move at far higher speeds than chidori and have absolutely zero problems with reaction speed. Now you’re saying they need to be able to look into the future why? Is the opponent some time traveler and I wasn’t aware that the sharingan allowed you to see in the future now.

A Hyūga who for instance trains in speed tech like the body flicker for example shouldn’t have any problems with avoiding a counter attack. Also it is such a fast attack the opponent usually gets hit before they can counter it’s only high level ninjas who seem to be able to avoid chidori.
