what people fail to realize is one simple thing

the byakugan is equally powerful as the sharingan

kaguya had both the byakugan and sharingan hagoromo recieved the sharingan which he evolved into the Rinnegan

his brother hurama received the byakugan base sharingan and base byakugan are not equal base byakugan is far superior to base sharingan. it has better vision and users have far superior reflexes.

the gentle fist allows the hyuga to directly attack chakra itself. neji showed this in his fight with kidomaru where he attacked and destroyed kidomaru's chakra threads

the susanoo is made of entirely chakra. if a uchiha had a susanoo activated they would be at a disadvantage for several reasons 1 ROTATION. with rotation any attack that is directed at a hyuga is directed back but not at full force but 10 times the force. so susanoo is no doubt powerful but it would be pointless. a hyuga could maintain rotation a lot longer than a uchiha could maintain susanoo. for the average uchiha susanoo is a short lived technique meant to be the final straw it uses up not only chakra but life force and as such it is double edged sword.

not only that but the susanoo is directly attached to the uchiha. and gentle fist can obliterate all chakra substances. attacking it would allow them to drill there chakra through the susanoo to the uchiha.

there is no way around it also in interviews and the data book it says that since the creation of the leaf village the hyuga have always been the magnum force of the leaf

kaguya used gentle fist with a piece hair which tore right through sasukes perfect Rinnegan enhanced susanoo
