They would not however be able to foresee the opponent potentially sidestepping it and cutting their head off as they zoom past.

That's where the Sharingan, and it's broken ability to practically give the user precognition comes into play. I've never seen it stated that the Byakugan also had that ability, so while the tunnel vision itself could be resolved, the fact they would not be able to predict where the target is going to move, and adjust accordingly while moving would still be the problem.

field of vision (definition): the entire view encompassed by the eye when it is trained in any particular direction.

A person sees everything in their field of vision in real time hence why it is called “field of vision” and not field of distortion or blurredness. Tunnel vision reduces a person’ field of vision but doesn’t blur or affect the objects contained in that field even moving at high speeds if not flying and driving at high speeds would not be possible since the driver/pilot would essentially be totally blinded, the brain and eye allows a person to see objects contained within the field perfectly normal.

The byakugan grants 360 field of vision and even by a stretch you reduce it by half it would still have a field of vision of 180 still greater than the normal eye that isn’t experiencing tunnel vision.

They won’t have a problem seeing and reacting to any of the opponents counter attacks since the opponent would still be in the field of vision of the wielder.

It’s simple, you see what is in your field of vision the range of the byakugan field of vision wouldn’t allow a wielder to even experience tunnel vision in the first place (unless they are probably traveling at 100 times the speed of light) I don’t understand why people are still trying to debate this despite the abundance of scientific evidence that proves its definitely possible.

You're forgetting the part of the Chidori that requires you to also be moving in a straight line at crazy speeds. A Byakugan user may be able to see the someone moving out the way, but because they didn't look into the future to do it, they most likely won't be fast enough to make the adjustments, while moving.

Not saying it's not impossible, but yeah.
