Zaku isn’t gifted. He had to be surgically altered in order to use his Chakra at all. Most would have thought Shikamaru would have been screwed over because of his one trick pony shadow jutsu, but he managed to kill an Akatsuki member and nearly another with that one ability.

But I do agree that the double eyes are a bit pushing it

The gab between a masterd EMS user or some Dojutsu hybrid versus Hidan (Who himself is a one trick pony) is pretty large. And Curse-Mark is pretty gifted XD.

But I'll agree with your main point. The reason I like Akatsuki is that they have a diverse skill set but are all at or above Kage tier in spite of not all of them having broken Dojutsu. Which should be the standard but we'll see where it goes.

Hmm lemme see... he’s antisocial, focuses more on training than having friends, he prefers only using his byakugan in battle and only his sharingan when he’s training with his uchiha relatives, he’s loyal and caring to mostly just his family, and uhh I don’t know what else for now. I think all of what Kyuu said is true but lemme reread to see if there’s something I don’t agree with (probably none lol)

Could ask kyuu or others here for some advice if you feel you really struggle here. I'll reserve my own opinion on scripted battles vs. tactical "on the fly" battles but always know you can improve even in ares you think you are weak in.
Yea but if I ask him for help it’s like “yo how can I beat this guy” and then it’s like cheating

I meant just in general. Though I can see your point, which again ties into this concern over having one's OC "win" versus what works better for the plot. Still though just some general advice and tips can go a long way and I'm sure there's ways to ask for help without looking for specific exploits or match-breaking counters.

the Byakugan can extend the range of Genjutsū (but considering he's not a genjutsu specialist then *shrugs*),

Sharingan where everything comes automatically

Unless he specifically trains it like a Hyūga, then he won't be able to predict the movements of people who aren't in the range of the Sharingan
He obviously has byakugan training so he is good a taijutsu cuz gentle fist and no susanoo obviously.
Uhh I don’t really agree the well with the Genjutsu thing because that’s literally one of the main abilities of the sharingan though it’ll be interesting how I will use it with byakugan and he mostly uses byakugan for most purposes and seeing outside of his normal field of vision while sharingan for close range. One thing I’d like to point out is I’m not doing automatic sharingan level ups at all it’s gonna be like only through training for him until 3 tomoe and he just got it recently tho so that’s why it’s only one tomoe despite training for a while with it already.

Ask Kyuu I’ve never asked for something that isn’t like cheating and I don’t know what I’m supposed to ask.
 
I get that, but even 50% of one eye can be counter balanced by the capabilities of 50% of the other eye given their different skill sets.

Just feel like being "gifted" is being way too prioritized in this. Tomiko is gonna have some gates, which along with her improved Earth-style should mean she might be okay. But the rest of my OCs are completely screwed over since I don't think a skilled Water-user with a sword or liquid shadow stuff can compete with an EMS Sharingan User, Boil Release User & Jinchuriki combo, and an Uchiha/Hyuga hybrid among others.

The liquid shadow can go very far, you don't even know the sorts of things I'm thinking about by abusing that technique. The person I least want to fight is Azumi, and solely because of that liquid shadow, it's far too versatile to counter so there aren't any good immediate counters to it.

No well Sharingan: Genjutsu makes genjutsu stronger but it's reliant on the Sharingan. As in if you don't actually know any genjutsu I don't think the Byakugan's range-extending works. Not too sure about the details on that one.

but Sharingan doesn't equal genjutsu. Sasuke can use genjutsu through the Sharingan but has next to no genjutsu experience, which is why Itachi can always catch him in a genjutsu, because Itachi knows genjutsu in addition to having the Sharingan. To see a real genjutsu that'd be boosted by the sharingan and then extended by the Byakugan, you'd need to actually know genjutsu, and not require eye-contact. Because even though you can make eye contact with someone 10km away with the Byakugan, they won't have eye contact with you, so it'll fail. Probably...

What I meant by Automatic sharingan is that the Sharingan's prediction abilities are basically instinct. The minute you activate the Sharingan you become better at Taijutsu. The Byakugan is simply vision and it doesn't carry any instinct to it so you'd still need to train taijutsu like everyone else.

Besides that everything else sounds decent.

Alright so basically... it’s just that his way to do Genjutsu for now is just normal sharingan eye contact stuff? That makes sense. Though the prediction abilities thing is more like LCM’s in that it’s easier to see it coming rather than instinct. And the taijutsu part... it’s not auto get better at taijutsu... it’s auto copying taijutsu (xD)

Nah, it's totally instinct. It's stated that they predict by taking note of the minute changes in muscle movement, but unless you're a medical ninja or something there really isn't any reason for you to be able to predict someone's next move just by watching their muscles, otherwise every single dojutsu user would be able to do it.

and the Byakugan can see chakra even better than the Sharingan yet it can't copy ninjutsu instantly because the copying is just something instinctual to the Sharingan.

It's Auto get better because once you've got the Sharingan active your Taijutsu will go up a tier, but once it goes you'll drop back down.

Anyways, got an exam so laterz~ 3 or so hours.

Well if you see the Neji vs Hinata fight, Neji was taunting her with the byakugan, reading it every single thing about her movements and stances, predicting her moves

Hinata was literally using the same style as Neji, but just an inferior version (Sums up her character, sadly since I like her.) Pretty fair to see he could guess what she'd do.

I had plans for Hashima but I was, err, emotionless(?) at the time so I didn't care if she died. Raiku is a joke. Kanshi is basically a supporting character for Kai. Sora will be fun to RP as. And I won't tell you more. BTW I actually have 10 characters so...

Raiku is(or was) your main and he’s got a lot going for him, especially after learning a few techniques like the crow Summoning and getting a Sharingan upgrade.

Kanshi is a jinchurki, blood hungry, and is more than Kai’s cheerleader. He has his own ambitions from what I heard, i I refuse to believe he’s just a mouthpiece for Kai’s agenda lol.

Sora is a wildcard.

And Yukimaru I’ve controlled longer than you at this point XD.

You see what I mean here?

I have great stuff planned for Yukimaru. Raiku is still my main but right now he's ez lol. (probs cuz I control him)
is more than Kai’s cheerleader.
ehhh I feel like most of the others here see him as that or just don't care about him at all (which I admit might be my fault)

Someone with a byakugan and a sharingan is delicate character and deserves to have some of the best character development. I’m not saying you can’t provide that but with your track record so far, I’m a bit worried about how he will be used.
you can have him then you know im not good at that and besides you need another oc :(

considering I did this at 4 am and I haven't thought of that at all I really doubt I'm the person for the job. literally anyone else here would be better
 
Now don't say that. I'm sure if you ask for some advice on how to handle him you could make it work. You clearly want to be this character and you shouldn't shut yourself off due to concerns over how good a writer you may be IMO.

I'm not too sure about that. Maybe I should just scrap it since I can't even think of how to handle a character like this and its already a Mary Stu.

He's not a Mary Sue yet. He hasn't even done anything, there is caution but any character can work so long as you consider other RPers and don't make him too OP.
 
How can he even appear right now? Unless he's asleep or on a mission or something

Being on a mission is good enough. I mean that's the reason Guy & his team was not involved in the Pain Invasion. Though you could work him in as someone who kept low to avoid conflict up to this point.

PS wouldn't it actually be weird for the new Hyuga (not mine the other one) to be shipped with Sagiso cuz they're both from the same clan?
