Those that inherit the blood of this clan have almost featureless
white eyes (Neji's and Hinata's eyes seem to have tints of blue-grey and
lavender, respectively). When the Byakugan is activated, the user's
pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge. It
also appears that unlike the other two dōjutsu, all members of the clan
possess and can use the kekkei genkai from birth, as opposed to needing
to awaken it.
The Byakugan's abilities have left it highly coveted by the other villages, as evidenced by
Kumogakure's attempt to steal it during the
Hyūga Affair.
Ao of
Kirigakure was able to obtain a Byakugan from an opponent he defeated, and goes to great lengths to protect it; at the same time,
Danzō Shimura goes to equal lengths to retrieve or destroy it. Unlike transplanted
Sharingan, Ao's Byakugan can be activated and deactivated at will.
