Yup! I agree with all of you here. About Ginkaku and Kinkaku, they were both swallowed by the Nine-Tails when it had attacked the Hidden Cloud at some point in the past and had survived by eating the flesh of the Nine-Tails thus granting them the latter's chakra (a part of it obviously). Further, when another shinobi tried to do this (i.e, eating it's flesh) with the Hachibi he died. This makes the brothers' feat completely extraordinary and so A also speculates that they may be related to the Legendary Sage. Kaguya had 2 sons. One being Hagoromo and the other being his brother. Now if Hagoromo had ONLY two sons (Indra and Ashura) then it is just obvious that Ginkaku and Kinkaku were the descendants of the Hagoromo's brother if they were REALLY related to the Sage. (They would be related to the Sage because they would be their blood uncle). About the Byakugan. Kaguya was shown to posses the Byakugan. So if she had two sons and Hagoromo didn't inherit the byakugan, then his brother would have to because the byakugan had to pass down from somewhere obviously. That would make Hagoromo's brother the head of the Hyuga lineage. That explains the byakugan alright. But then again Ginkaku and Kinkaku didn't have the byakugan which they are supposed to if they were descendants of the sage's brother. So that means only one of them is true. Either, Hagoromo's brother was the ancestor of the byakugan or the ancestor of Ginkaku and Kinkaku. Personally, I more believe the byakugan part because the interval between Hagoromo's age and Ginkaku Kinkaku is to vast to be their sons. (They cannot be descendants because then there would have to be other sons with extraordinary powers and would obviously be noticed which didn't happen). I may be completely wrong but this is the only way how I see things fit. I mean the logic is ok right?
