The Golden Byakugan

[dezza laa]

NOTE: This is the work of Esponer. Just found it really interesting and thought is was worth sharing

1. What type of eyes did the Rikudō Sennin have?

We can clearly see the concentric circles of the Rinnegan. There are no tomoe. The Rikudō Sennin had the Rinnegan.

2. How did the Rikudō Sennin control the Jūbi?

He did not use a forebear to the Sharingan's genjutsu control. He became the jinchuriki of the Jūbi.

3. From where did the Uchiha come?

The Uchiha came from the Rikudō Sennin – specifically from his elder brother, who had the eye power of the Rikudō Sennin. We also know for that for some reason, the elder brother "believed that might was the key to peace" – he was the corrupt black sheep of the family.

4. From where did the Sharingan come?

From the elder brother? From the Uchiha? Wrong.

The Sharingan came from the eye of the Jūbi! This isn't the Rikudō Sennin's eye controlling the beast, as he never mind controlled it: he became the host of it. And if he did control it that way, it would be a Rinnegan as it was with Pain controlling his summons. This is the Jūbi's eye, a 9-Tomoe Sharingan!

5. Why do the Uchiha have the Sharingan?

Search your knowledge. The answer is within the text.

"He once saved the world… From a monster…"

"The strongest chakra ever… the Ten-Tailed Beast, the Jūbi."

"The Rikudō Sennin preached the Way of the Ninja and tried to bring peace to the world…"

"The elder… believed that might was the key to peace."

"…this eternal curse of hatred…"

"You fate has been drenched in blood since the day you were born an Uchiha!"

The truth is staring us in the face. The Rinnegan is the power of a benevolent god. The Jūbi was a malevolent, sinister monster with the 9-Tomoe Sharingan.

The elder brother's heart was dark, despite his father's good intentions and his younger brother's purity. From his kin came the Sharingan we know. From his 'forsaken ancestry' came the 'accursed' Sharingan and the sinister power of it. A power which would demand sacrifices. Your best friend, your brother. A power 'drenched in blood'. This is not a remnant of the god-like Rinnegan. This brutal, cursed, filthy power is something else.

The elder brother was cursed with the Jūbi's evil power! The Sharingan came from the Jūbi. The Sharingan we know is a filthy mix of the Rinnegan and the 9-Tomoe Sharingan. The only power more sinister than the Kyūbi, the Jūbi, is the source of the Sharingan.

6. What clan is older than the Uchiha and the Senju?

The evidence is irrefutable: the Hyūga are the oldest clan in Konoha. They are older than the Uchiha as they are older than the Sharingan. They must also therefore be older than the Senju.

7. Can the Hyūga be older than the Rikudō Sennin?

"The founder of the whole ninja world… whose knowledge and skills gave birth to ninjutsu itself."

Ninjutsu. No ninjutsu came before the Rikudō Sennin.

A clan older than the Rikudō Sennin himself, a proud clan that never gave up the ancient techniques it used. A clan like that…

…a clan like that would use only taijutsu. No matter how advanced they were, their every technique would be taijutsu. Older than the inventor of ninjutsu, they would have used nothing else but taijutsu. If they were to survive this long, their style could only be the strongest taijutsu style, a style that can stand against ninjutsu, stand against nintaijutsu (like the Raikage's), stand against anything.

This describes the Hyūga. Older than the Uchiha, older than the Senju, and able to be older than the Rikudō Sennin and older than ninjutsu. An ancient clan: a clan with a secret. A secret worth protecting above all else.

What are the Hyūga guarding? What, in their Byakugan – a bloodline that has only a fraction of the power of the 9-Tomoe Sharingan or Rinnegan – are they so dedicated to defending?

8. Where did the Sharingan originally come from?

But you knew the answer, don't you? But most of you decided to ignore canon when new information made it really hard to understand.

"The descendants of the elder were called Uchiha."

The Uchiha descended from the Rikudō Sennin's elder son. There was no gap. First descendant, called Uchiha.

So was the Rikudō Sennin a Hyūga? No. If he was, he would have had a Byakugan, not a Rinnegan. And there's a mystery left unsolved. The answer is, again, staring at us.

The Uchiha's origins, as the 'Uchiha', is the story of the Sharingan's origin. The Sharingan predates the Uchiha: the Jūbi possessed the 9-Tomoe Sharingan. The ancient Hyūga predated the Rikudō Sennin, and the origin of the Sharingan – the origin of the Jūbi – lies with them.

9. What created the Jūbi?

Ask yourself this question, and understand that it has an answer.

The Rikudō Sennin was born, and he died. He was mortal, although he had the god-like Rinnegan. In a time before ninjutsu, a time before sealing jutsu, a being more powerful than the Kyūbi was free: the Jūbi. A being that the Rikudō Sennin saved the world from. A sinister being of malice greater than the Kyūbi's, whose remnant lies within the bloody, cursed Uchiha clan.

Why had the Jūbi not destroyed the world long before the Rikudō Sennin was born? How did it come about? These questions need answers. And these questions have answers.

Because the origin of the Sharingan lies with the Hyūga, an ancient clan that predated ninjutsu, predated the Rikudō Sennin.

The Hyūga, or a Hyūga, created the Jūbi. They created the 9-Tomoe Sharingan. The origin of everything lies with them.

But this doesn't answer everything. There are more questions.

10. Why is the Byakugan inferior to the highest-level Sharingan and the Rinnegan?

It's been proven time and time again that the Byakugan is superior to the three-tomoe Sharingan, but the Mangekyō Sharingan? The eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? The 9-Tomoe Sharingan, with which Madara could cast the planet in an infinite, eternal genjutsu – Mugen Tsukuyomi?

And the Rinnegan is a god-like power, capable of almost anything. Compared to this, the Byakugan is weak. Ancient, but weak.

Why?

The Hyūga, or a Hyūga, created the Jūbi. And something changed after that.

The Jūbi, the "strongest chakra ever" came from the Hyūga's true eye power. But thereafter the power was lost. A remnant of it lives on in the blood of the elder brother of the Rikudō Sennin. Some of the Jūbi's corrupted power flowed from the Rikudō Sennin, who controlled it as a 'part' of him, into his firstborn son, through his seed.

The rest of the Jūbi's power lies in the bijū, the strongest of which is the Kyūbi. All of that power was the Hyūga's eye power. All of that is rightfully the Hyūga's. And now that it is lost, the Byakugan is but a shadow of what it once was.

11. This true power of the Hyūga, the power that created everything… what was it called?

Search your feelings. You know the answer.

A power beyond the Byakugan, the true power of the Hyūga, a power surpassing all the bijū and the Uchiha. The name of that power is known to us, and it has been for years.

It's the Golden Byakugan. The greatest power in the Naruto universe.

There are questions I still have… why the Hyūga created the Jūbi… why they 'lost' to the Rikudō Sennin… and of course, Zetsu's part in all of this, manipulating Madara to recreate the Hyūga's power. Killing all the Uchiha so that all the Jūbi's lost chakra would be concentrated in one shinobi? Bringing the bijū together? The Jūbi is being recreated so that Zetsu, who absorbed Hizashi's Byakugan, can possess the Golden Byakugan. But I don't know everything yet. I will soon, and once I do I'll tell you…

So what do you guys think? Believeable or too far fetched?

[Nameless]

Well , the first thing I want to say is : THIS POST IS TOO DAMN LONG , But what u have said has a little bit of truth and a whole lot of imagination.

What I personally think is that The Sage of Six Paths is from the Hyuga Clan, who had the Byakugan as his blood line ability and he also invented some sort sealing jutsu to trap the Juubi , and when he became the Juubi-Jinchuriki , the Juubi's chakra mutated The Saga's Chakra , body , and his ocular powers and given birth to the Rinnegan , huge amounts of chakra , and powerful physical powers .

That's All.

[RikuoAmero]

Hmmm...a whole lot of supposition that is not supported by any facts.

First off, in reply to Nameless, unless otherwise shown, the Sage has been shown to have had only the Rinnegan. There is absolutely no evidence anywhere in the manga or anime that he had the Byakugan.

Dezza Laa, re-read your first spoiler. It says that the Sage was the Founder of the Ninja World. Given this fact, it it highly unlikely that there was a Hyuuga clan that predated him, given that according to you, they practiced taijutsu.

About them predating the Senju and Uchiha, it can be argued that that caption with Kakashi, he was saying that they were the oldest surviving clan, given that the last living Senju is Tsunade and she has never once been called Senju in the manga, despite being the First's grand-daughter; and that there were only two known Uchiha living, one renegade, the other, a twelve year old boy, not exactly enough to call yourself a clan in my opinion.

Also, think about it. You say the Hyuuga created the Jubi. How could they, if all they had was taijutsu? The manga states flat-out that the Sage was the first person to use Ninjutsu. Therefore, before him, nobody used any kind of jutsu, including either the ninjutsu or the fuuinjutsu creating the Jubi would have entailed.

As for Kakashi saying the Uchiha's origins lie with the Hyuuga, he carefully says "They say". He's not sure himself. Later in the manga, Kakashi flat out says that the Sage is a myth, he doesn't believe he ever existed. More than likely, the Hyuuga and Uchiha shared a common ancestor, the elder brother. Perhaps the elder brother did have the Sharingan, but had several children, one or more of whom had the Byakugan. Or perhaps, the two clans aren't related at all. Perhaps the Hyuuga have an ancestor who learned taijutsu from the Sage. We don't know.

What you have about Zetsu, again, is complete supposition.

A good post. Perhaps you ought to write a fanfic about this.

[shyguysteve]

couple of things, not bad at grasping the manga pics that hint at the origins of the 3 great doujutsu's. but... if the sage was real, some still debate him being just a legend of myth; then his eyes are the evolved form of byakugan.

The sage is said to have created ninjutu, so a clan of taijutsu specialists isn't impossible.

The sages son. first born son is granted his eyes, while the second is granted his body. So both of them inherit what the hyuga today pass down in a blood line trait. So its fair to say they might be older.

More facts would or could support the general post, but this is left as speculation.

It was actually fun to read though.

[bryce.ozzie]

im just gonna wait for the truth to come out in the series. it's too much hard work to figure this one out.

[saminyt]

Hay, let me make a guess here. Suppose, one of the female of Elder son's clan married a male from the younger or even the other way around. They gave birth to the first child with Byakugan. And maybe this happened before a child with Sharingan was born. This supports the theory that Hyuga came before Uchiha.

And I also agree with RikuoAmero. The Hyuga could not have been older than the Sage of six paths or his children nor could they have created the ten tails. What do you guys think?
