We know that the _Byakugan_ is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Hyūga clan of
the Hidden Leaf. And each village does its best to try and keep such coveted
powers to themselves.

But in a recent filler episode of Shippuden, Episode 358 to be exact, a ninja
from the Hidden Mist was shown to have used the Byakugan and could locate
Uchicha Shisui, thereby asking his team to retreat. How does a ninja from a
village other than the Hidden Leaf and not of the Hyūga bloodline have the
Byakugan?

Is this for real or is it just another mistake by the animators? Is there a
mention of such a ninja in the manga(I follow only the anime and not the
manga)?

How does a Hidden Mist ninja have the Byakugan?


Yes, there is a mention of such a ninja in the manga as well as in the earlier
episodes of the anime.

The ninja that you are referring to is [Ao](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ao).

He first appeared in the manga chapter 454 and Naruto Shippuden anime episode
199 (the five kage summit arc)
