QuakingStar wrote: That "comprehension of all universal things" was just bs. Look at the chapters following him acquiring it.. he was just as stupid as ever and questioning everything.. Sasuke still had to explain shit to him, Kakashi and Obito too. Everyone has an intuitive understanding of the world. But it's a very different thing from actually understanding WHY things are as they are. Naruto immediately understood in SPSM that he could use the various Biju powers and he didn't need to train to add their elements to his Rasenshuriken, even though it took the equivalent of several years for him to use Wind Release.

Legendary Super Saiya-Jin 4 wrote: The Hyuga Clan, the Hyuga Clan is my favorite clan in the series but they've been shafted so badly. The Byakugan has the greatest raw visual prowess of any dojutsu and the ability to manipulate all of your tenketsu has so much versatility. Yea i think the Hyuga are too limited with their powers. The byakugan's powers are pretty insane if you use them to their logical limit, but the Hyuga never moved beyond Gentle Fist, which is still pretty strong but also pretty specific. Stuff like Vacuum Palms seems pretty weak compared to even regular ninjutsu, even though it's supposedly an advanced attack.

Combining any Byakugan ability with change in chakra nature would be insane. Vacuum Palms with Fuuton could vastly improve the power and precision of the strike. Or add fire release to have more of a jet blast. Rotation + any element would combine it's defensive with offensive abilities, combining chakra from all tenketsu with....well anything would turn a Hyuga into an Avatar-style element bender (fireballs from the feet? why not? Shroud yourself in rock armor? why not? Use this ability with 360 vision to pinpoint the enemy and strike without warning? why not?)

With the Byakugan, the sky's pretty much the limit (well, and Kekkei genkai, but that opens up a topic of even more insane theoretical abilities) and yet in the series it's never used beyond Gentle Fist and scouting, which is the most basic of abilities you can do.

Under the more general topic, though i don't find Tenten particularly interesting, i've mentioned before that the ability to store stuff in scrolls at a whim and unseal them at a whim is one of the most overpowered-yet-never-fully-used abilities in the series. Entire supply chains can be simplified to a ninja carrying a huge scroll. Adding to this, i think TenTen should've had the Kote's ability of sealing a Ninjutsu in a scroll. Not every ninjutu, limited by her own ability and within logical reason. But we've seen Minato seal entire Biju Bombs and then teleport them, so clearly it can be done. (not to mention: boruto the movie).
