Neji didnt need the Byakugan to cold read Hinata. He was doing that before it was active and it is a skill that normies can develop. Attributing this to the Byakugan is silly.

The series has also made it clear the Sharingan is the only thing that makes the Raikiri usable. Just because Neji beat down Kidomaru at a bigh speed doesnt mean he was faster than his could normally percieve.
