1. I don't believe it Hyuga/Byakugan have been nerfed yet again. Shocker! So let me get this straight, Ao a ninja with 1 Byakugan can see through the illusion placed on the Forth Mizukage( a Jinchūriki no less), but Neji a genius of the Hyuga clan can't see through a catus plant genjutsu? WTF

EDIT:: One more thing. Does anyone here think that Yome (w/ Byakugan like abilites) fight display is probably the best example of what a Byukugan fight should look like?

the genjutsu was not a visual one it was one created by scent so Neji cant see it ,Sasuke and Itachi had to use a genjutsu on them self to be able to counter Tayuya's sound based genjutsu.

Yome eye evasion ability is more similar to the Sharingan prediction of movement than the Byakugan having 360 vision.
