Both Neji and Kakashi used their Dojutsu to follow him. Meaning that your argument about the 3 Tomoes prediciting abilities beibg better than the Byakugan was not seen in that scenario and in the Neji vs Naruto fight was Neji still able to follow Naruto as you can see it in Chapter 104. Not in Naruto. Everyone was watching Lee beat down Gaara. Even Gaara, arguably the slowest character present could catch and take advantage of a split second flinch Lee had. Lee was not moving faster than anyone could see. The Byakugan has a plethora of abilities that would help him see Lee better(biggest being 360 vision so Lee never leaves his line of sight) but no where ever is it stated, shown, or implied that the Byakugan has predictive/tracking abilities anywhere close to the Sharingan. The series actually goes to great extent to explain what both eyes do, anything more than what the manga has given us is pure headcanon. Neji did not see Naruto's movements until he was slowing down to come to a stop. Naruto's sudden disappearance is even met with surprise and exclamation points in the manga AND in the panel where he locates Naruto has the same background art used for sudden realizations in the manga. Ace Chouno wrote: What Neji was doing was seeing the affect of every single movement of her action on her. He was perfectly able to tell what that action means. Before he is starting to read Hinata in Chapter 78 is he saying that he saw through msny things with his Byakugan. The reading of jer expressions and movements started when Neji activated his Byakugan. It was the same against Naruto in Chapter 99. The reading started when he activated his Byakugan. Neji read their movements, then broke down and analyzed what they meant, not the other way around. It is not mind reading, it is reading body language. If Neji could read minds he would have won all the fights he was in because he would have stopped his opponents from executing their plans. He would also have read Naruto's mind and understood that he was accessing Kurama's chakra. Naruto literally was thinking about accessing Kurama's chakra but Neji was still at a loss at what was happening. His thoughts were literally written on the page, but Neji was all like "wtf is this bro"(to paraphrase)

Hiashi did not decide on Hizashis facial expression to activate the seal. In Chapter 102 can you see that he was < > the killing intent. To remind all people was his Byakugan on and the Byakugan does not sense but sees. So he was seeing the killing intent. I want to mention that in the Kaguya filler with Hagoromo and Hamura that we saw Kaguya reading Hamuras mind and I want to mention that tjis capability perfectly fits into the scene of Hiashi with Boruto.

Hiashi's Byakugan was actually not active in the 102 flashback... so there is no supporting evidence for your argument at all here. Filler is also irrelevant because it is filler. Neither Hiashi nor Hanabi or even Hinata for the matter read Boruto's mind with their Byakugan to even try to understand what Boruto experienced with his eye. Ace Chouno wrote:

Some might ask why we did not see that in the anime again and the reasoning is simple. The Hyuga did not get any attention in part 2. Simply because the focus was on the Uchiha and Naruto. Kishimoto just forgot about all other characters. Hyuuga not being shown is a terrible excuse. Neji had one of the biggest fights of part 1 against Kidomaru and he didnt do any kind of mind reading there. If you believe he wouldn't read his enemies mind in a life or death fight but would do it in an over-glorified sparring match then idk what to tell you. Ace Chouno wrote:

I want to clarify too that that sort of mind reading might simply require being close to the Byakugan user and the user might just be able to get just very inaccurate messages from it. Kidomaru was pretty far away from Neji and consistently got attacked.

Worst copout ever. You are here claiming that you have absolute evidence that Byakugan has these abilities but then backtrack and make an excuse for why it doesnt work in situations almost identical to ones that you use to back your claim that it reads minds. Can’t play both sides like that and have a strong argument.

Sharingan does track. It has to clearly see in order to predict it.
