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.

I never said Neji needed the Byakugan to cold read. If you read what I said properly, I merely said that the Byakugan enhances cold reading and that anyone can do it! The sharingan being the only thing useful for a chidori/raikari jutsu is an absolute joke. Naruto managed to use the rasengan perfectly fine, no prediction abilities required. Besides the Byakugan would be way better for the type of jutsu. It's all well and good prediction the person in front of you, but what about any enemies to the side or behind you?
