[/ul]
The Hyūga clan is popular in the Land of Fire and, more specifically, in the Hidden Leaf Village where most of its members reside. They are best known for their dojutsu, the Byakugan, which is a rare kekkei genkai passed on to those within the bloodline. Sometimes called the All-Seeing Eye or the White Eye, the Byakugan is a rare type of eyesight which allows the recipient x-ray vision, long-distance vision, chakra sight, etc. Due to internal strife within the clan's founding members, however, the clan was broken into two families -- the Main Family and the Branch Family. It was only over time that the Main Family began to develop their own fighting style known as the Gentle Fist based around the Byakugan's ability to see chakra. Although rarely a Branch Family member would learn the Gentle Fist on their own, it was a highly coveted ability.

Even later, a curse seal was developed that could trap dojutsu within the dead body of a clan member. This jutsu was used on the Branch Family, as a tool during times of war to cut down on the number of Byakugan stolen due to the death of Hyūga soldiers. After the Third Great Ninja War, the Branch Family came to despise the curse seal which also gave the Main Family power over their brain's pain receptors. Although open conflict was not engaged, thanks to certain sacrifices, the Branch Family grew more resentful and weary of the Main Family with each passing year until the concept was abolished by Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage. 

Now the Hyūga clan exists as a single unit and tensions have mostly dispersed over the years. Although there are still a few in descendants of the Main House who seek the old ways, they are few and far between. Now the Hyūga clan has experienced great prosperity after the Fourth Great Ninja War and have grown to be one of the biggest clans in the Leaf Village. As dissatisfaction grows in the minor nations, however, many of the Hyūga clan have been sent to investigate and train to fight on the front lines if it comes to war. The clan elders fear that if the Leaf Village goes to war then it could be much of their own family who could perish. Therefore, the Hyūga have been trying as hard as possible to control the peace in the minor nations. [/ul]

Byakugan Techniques

[/b] Byakguan
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Type: Dojutsu
Drawbacks: Handseals and must hold snake handseal for entire jutsu duration. Uses up a D-rank worth of chakra each round the jutsu is maintained. Has a limited range and can only see in black & white. Cannot see in the dark or intense light. 
Description: When a member of the Hyūga clan awakens their Byakugan, they send chakra to their face and veins suddenly sprout around their eyes. Activation of the Byakugan allows the user to have x-ray vision up to their range. The user can see in 360 degrees while the Byakugan is active, except for a small blindspot at the back of the neck above the third thoracic vertebra. Certain chakra barriers that prohibit chakra sight or doujutsu may block the Byakugan's vision. Range of the Byakugan depends on the rank known of the jutsu. When the member learns the D-rank version, they can see up to 20 meters in any direction. Each rank doubles the distance that the Byakugan can see, reaching maximum at 320 meters for S-rank. When the user learns the B-rank version of this technique, they are able to use their x-ray vision in a special way to percieve chakra, chakra networks, and chakra points. Chakra appears as a blue aura (unless specificed otherwise) and can be seen wherever it is present. The Byakugan does not allow users to notice the chakra of a genjutsu unless they win their save against the technique. The Byakugan can, however, notice chakra that is disturbed (such as an ally being put under a genjutsu). The Byakugan can determine clones from actual people given that the clones have less chakra than the original, however, the byakugan cannot determine the authenticity of clones if they have the same amount of chakra as the original. For every round that the Byakugan is active, it drains a D-rank amount of chakra from the user and can only see in black and white (except for chakra which is blue). The Byakugan does not allow a person to see in the dark or through blinding, intense lights.  
Requirements: Must be a Hyūga clan member.

Gentle Fist Techniques

[/b] Palm Heel Strike
Rank: "D"
Type: Taijutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: One of the basic moves of the Gentle Fist fighting style. The user concentrates chakra through the chakra points in their hands, expelling them at the same moment that they hit an opponent with the heel of their palm. This strike does damage equal to its rank and is used as the basis for other Gentle Fist techniques that deal more damage or target specific organs and body parts.
Requirements: Must be a Hyūga clan member.

Name: Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation
Rank: "D","C","B","A","S"+
Type: Taijutsu
Drawbacks:The precision and momentum of the technique makes it impossible to make any other movements while spinning, or to stop right away.
Description: Through their precise chakra control and capabilities, the user pushes chakra out of all the chakra points in their body at once. At the same time, the user rotates and spins the chakra into a protective dome that covers their body and a certain radius. Anybody who is within the range of the Palm Rotation and are hit by its rotation are damaged equal to the rank the user knows of this technique. Once the user reaches S-rank, the techniques attack damage caps at 1 S-rank. At D-rank the Palm Rotation extends in a 2 meter radius and increases by 2 meters for each rank known for a maximum of 10 meters at S-rank. Even if the user learns this technique past S-rank, the palm rotation can only have a radius of up to 10 meters. Although the Palm Rotation can injure an opponent, it is mainly used for defensive purposes. The Palm Rotation can deflect attacks equal to its rank known by the user. So a B-rank Palm Rotation can stop a B-rank technique. Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation can only stop physical attacks such as ninjutsu or taijutsu. Even if an attack is more powerful than the rank of Palm Rotation, the defense is so strong that it will weaken the opponent's technique accordingly. For example, an attack that does B-rank damage against a D-rank Palm Rotation will lose a D-rank's worth of attack power when it hits the user. The user can learn the S-rank version of this technique three times. Each time learned the jutsu can stop an additional S-rank worth of attack for a maximum of 3x S-rank deflection.
Requirements: Must be a Hyūga clan member.

Name: Eight Triagrams: Vacuum Palm
Rank: “C”
Type: Taijutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user infuses their palm or fist with chakra before running forward and thrusting their palm forward. A burst of chakra will burst forth to hit the opponent. Since the attack is made of chakra, it appears invisible to the average person. If the attack hits, then the opponent will take normal damage and be pushed back by an intense burst of chakra. The range of this technique is 2 meters per character level. It knocks back opponents to the end of its range. If the opponent would hit an object instead, then they’d take 5 hp of damage for every 2 meters they can’t travel.
Requirements: Must know Palm Heel Strike.

Name: Eight Triagrams: Sixty-Four Palms
Rank: “A”
Type: Taijutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: Using their Byakugan, the user peers into the chakra network of an opponent and positions themselves in a low, crouching stance. Suddenly time seems to slow down as the user activates their chakra and sends it into their hands and fingers. The user will attempt to strike the opponent’s chakra points — thereby cutting off the flow of chakra. First they will strike at two points, then four, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, then sixty-four. The user is so fast when using this technique that it only takes 1 second to achieve all of the strikes. If the user hits every chakra point, not only will it deal damage (an A-rank’s worth) but will also cut off the opponent from using their chakra for 1d3 + 2 rounds. The user can also focus this technique on multiple, small opponents instead. If used in this way, every strike deals 1 hp damage per every 2 character levels to each opponent in the swarm.
Requirements: Must know at least Byakugan, B-rank. Stamina 12 or higher.

Name: Gentle Step: Twin Lion Fists
Rank: "A"
Type: Taijutsu
Drawbacks: Takes time equal to handseals to activate.
Description: The user expels chakra from the chakra points in their hands and arms, fine-tuning them to take on the form of a lion using the precision of the Byakugan. The lions that cover the users arms and hands are made of pure chakra, so when used in conjunction with an unarmed taijutsu attack they can do severe damage. Although the Twin Lion Fists technique can be combined with any other unarmed taijutsu technique to increase the damage dealt, if dealt by itself it is still a powerful technique. A successful hit with the Twin Lion Fists will do 5 hp damage per character level per lion. The duration of this technique is 5 rounds. Once the user has delivered damage with one of their fists, that lion disappears although they can still use the second one. Due to their size, the lions increase the user's range by one meter when activated.
Requirements: Must be a Hyūga clan member.

[/b] Twin Lion Fists: Launch
Rank: "B"
Type: Taijutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: Allows the user to launch the chakra, lion fists from their hands to deliver a ranged taijutsu attack made of pure chakra. The attack deals the same damage as the original technique and can be used once per lion. The lions can be launched up to 5 meters per character level.
Requirements: Must know Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists.
