Hamura had to have had power equal to that of his brother therefore the byakugan has to have the potential to surpass a base level sharingan. because power that equals a Rinnegan is in fact power that surpasses a sharingan. the main thing is that hyuga have not been shown to have massive chakra reserves so it could very well be that the hyuga just don't have enough chakra to use it to its fullest potential(hamura level) I stated this in another thread. Maybe hamura had 8 gates and didnt have the side effects from using it. Hamura is half of the mother's chakra. If you remember the naruto movie with the zero tails Shinno said by possessing the power of the zero tails he would be able to enter 8 gates without suffering the effects. Well Hamura is much more powerful. Plus Its the only thing we know so far that puts you on par with a juubi jinchuriki
