Well... the title says it!

I ask this because, supposedly, Hyuuga and Uchiha are descendants of the
Rikudou's eldest son (at least I am under that impression). In that way, does
the Byakugan have any other special techniques that can be awakened (such as
Tsukuyomi, Susano'o and Amaterasu in the Sharingan), and can it (ultimately)
awaken the Rinnegan?

So far we have not seen techniques that derive from the Byakugan itself, but
rather techniques that are possible because of it: the whole Hyuuga fighting
style comes from the use of Byakugan, but it is not related to it in the same
way that every Mangekyou technique is related to the Sharingan. They were only
able to develop/and use it properly due to them having the Byakugan, but
(again) it does not relate to it in the same way the Mangekyou relates to the
Sharingan.

To sum up: **Is it possible for a Byakugan user to awaken a Rinnegan?**

Is it possible for a Byakugan user to awaken the Rinnegan?


Unlikely.

While it is true that Kakashi originally said that the Uchiha clan (And the
Sharingan) is a branch off the Hyuuga clan (and the Byakugan), ~~it was later
revealed that it wasn't the case~~ **And even though Kaguya Otsutsuki was said
to have the Byakugan** , it is currently presumed that the two bloodlines are
separate and there's no actual connection between the two eye techniques..

No Byakugan upgrades were ever discussed/revealed, like you said, the Hyuuga
specific techniques are only the Byakugan's potential being utilized.

### SPOILER!

> **Moreover, it was revealed that the way to awaken the Rinnegan would be to
> combine Indra's and Ashura's chakra** , like Madara (who had Indra's chakra)
> implanted the flesh of Hashirama (who had Ashura's chakra), to bring out the
> Sage of Six Paths' chakra.  
>  So theoretically, if Indra were to posses a Hyuuga clan member, and the
> identity of Ashura would be known, it may be possible. That, however, never
> happened and is not likely to happen in the future.

Note that the Rinnegan is not a state/technique like Mangekyou or Amaterasu.
It's a whole different eye. Same goes for the Byakugan.

Regardless of there being a common heritage, the Byakugan is an innate skill
like the Sharingan (the basic one). You have it because you were born in that
clan. The Rinnegan is even rarer (being a supreme eye) but again, it's not a
technique, it's an "eye" by itself.

So to answer your question, it's _highly unlikely_ that a Byakugan user can
awake the Rinnegan. I'd say **no** , but the Manga is not over yet and I don't
want to bite off more than I can chew, but it wouldn't make sense because a
Byakugan could develop a technique, at best, not an eye.

Basically, the [**elder
son**](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Indra_%C5%8Ctsutsuki) of the [**Sage of
Six Paths**](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Hagoromo_%C5%8Ctsutsuki) had the
Sharingan, introducing the Uchiha, but the [**younger
one**](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Asura_%C5%8Ctsutsuki) didn't have any
special abilities, introducing the Senju.

You need to have both Senju and Uchiha DNA to awaken the Rinnegan. During the
battle with Hashirama at the 'Final Valley' Madara lost, but in the process he
managed to get Hashirama's cells. He put Hashirama's cells into his own body,
leading to the awakening of the Rinnegan. That's how Madara Uchiha awakened
the Rinnegan. Nagato however did **NOT** awaken the Rinnegan, but when he was
a baby, Madara transplanted his eyes into Nagato. Nagato was originally from
the Uzumaki clan, and he had an extremely strong life force, as you can see
due to his red hair, which eventually turned white because of the amount of
power he had.

The Sharingan was supposed to originate from the Byakugan but then he writers
must have just changed that idea and hoped everyone would forget. There are a
few similarities between the Sharingan and the Byakugan, such as the ability
to sense chakra. But I think the bonuses of the Byakugan are that you can see
through objects, but if your especially skilled like Neji, or if you can focus
enough like Hinata then you can even see a humans chakra points.

A Byakugan user can only awaken the Rinnegan if they posses both the cells of
an Uchiha and a Senju inside them, and with time they would also probably be
able to control the 'Gedo Statue'.

It should be noted that Kaguya Otsutsuki (mother of the Sage of six paths) was
a Byakugan user. She could use Byakugan at a high level. Her son awakened the
Rinnegan proving that Rinnegan is somehow related to Byakugan. Since the Sage
of six path's elder son could use Sharingan it was also clear that Byakugan is
the ancestor of Sharingan.

I don't want to say that this is fact but here is a theory. Kaguya possesses
two bloodline traits the byakugan and another sharingan/rinnegan trait. Upon
having her two sons she could have passed the two traits down separately
(seeing that we have not seen the sage's brother this is possible). This would
mean that the sage obtained his mothers sharingan/rinnegan eye which
manifested as the rinnegan without the sharingan tomoe. Upon the sage having
his two sons he passed down his visual ability, albeit a weakened version (the
sharingan), to his eldest and his physical energy to his youngest. It is, as
we know, that only when senju and Uchiha blood mix do you acquire the
rinnegan. Pretty much what this theory states is that it is possible that the
hyuuga clan originated from the sages brother while the rinnegan and sharingan
originated from the sage himself. If this Is true then it would not be
possible for the byakugan to develop into the rinnegan because they would
belong to two different lineages. However this is just a theory so do not take
this as fact.

The byakugan might be able to awaken the the rinnegan. Kaguya otsutsuki passed
down her power to her two sons. The sage of six path is the ancestor of the
uchiha and senju inherited visual prowess and physical prowess. The sages
brother is the ancestor of the hyuga and uzumaki inherited sealing justu and
the byakugan. So the only way for a byakugan user to awaken the rinnegan is to
implant uchiha and senji dna

**No**  
They can't. As you see, Kaguya had 2 sons: Hogoromo (Sage Of 6 Paths) and
Hamura (the one with Bayakugan). While Rinnengan and Sharingan are totally
different from Bayakugan. As both Sharingan and Rinnegan originate from [Rinne
Sharingan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinne_Sharingan).

## Kekkei Genkai

  1. Bloodline limits that can be achieved if your Mom or Dad has these characteristics. It may or may not get activated.

Examples are:

    * Sharingan was activated by Sasuke, while some Uchiha were not able to achieve it.
  2. Bloodline limits could also be obtained randomly by a senju or family branch, like the Uzumaki clan, or just a random genius like the 4th Hokage who wasn't part of senju or Uchiha or any bloodline limit clan at all.

Examples are:

    * Kimimaro is the sole user of the bone bloodline limit, which is an original from Kaguya.

    * Sage Mode - considered a bloodline limit which requires a person who has massive amount of chakra to perfectly control his chakra without using any amount of chakra to obtain the sage levels. For example, Minato, Naruto, Hashirama, ...

  3. Bloodline limits can also be achieved through implants/mastery/intense practice but has a low chance of getting it into perfect use.

Examples are:

    * Kakashi's Mangekyu 
    * Kabuto's Sage Mode
    * Yamato's Mokuton

## Kekkei Tōta

An upgraded kekkei genkai or a 3-element bloodline limit user.

For examples:

  * Rinnegan - an upgraded state of Sharingan
  * Beast Bomb Rasenshuriken Jutsu - a densed Kyuubi, Sage, and Wind chakra
  * Mokuton no Jutsu

First of all they made it fair enough by make a new evolution of the byakugan
which is TENSEIGAN that we saw in the seventh movie. They felt that the
byakugan didn't get as much attention like the Sharingan.

I have two theories about this:

    1. We all know that byakugan is related to sharingan due to the anime .. BUT noticing that kaguya the mother of SGO6P had the byakugan! meaning that byakugan came first - rinnegan - then sharingan .. so byakugan is the ancestor of the other dojutsu. This infers that Kaguya had the power of the jubi plus her byakugan as a result , she awakened one rinne sharingan in her forehead .in other words maybe if a hyuga becomes the ten tails Jinchuuriki he\she will also awaken one of two : regular rinnegan or rinne sharingan .

    2. Second theory is about bloods. We know that on one side the uzumaki clan are relatives of the senju , on another side the uchiha clan is descended from the hyuga clan . so if a hyuga and an uzumaki/senju were to have offsprings , theyll perhaps have the power of the sage of the six paths ! which means theyll awaken the rinnegan .. (for example himawari , lets see what future hides) hope u like it ;)

Seeing how Kaguya possesses both the rinne sharingan, which is the progenitor
of the rinnegan, and the byakugan it is within the realm of possibilities that
a byakugan user may awaken the rinnegan, but as a forehead third eye since
they already have byakugan in both eyes and the original source of rinne and
tensei chakra is Kaguya herself. But I would imagine that only select Hyuga or
Moon Shinobi Otsutsuki clan members can do this depending on the purity of
their blood that match either of Hamura's aspects (Hyuga or Moon Shinobi
Otsutsuki) and/or whether or not Hamura's children have unique chakra like
Indra and Asura that makeup the chakra of their parent and only them and their
transmigrants can awaken the rinnegan/ rinne sharingan. This is an
hypothetical conjecture since what you're asking has remained unanswered at
the end of the Naruto series.

In an hypothetical scenario, it may be possible for an eligible Hyuga clan
member to acquire Asura & Indra's chakra or chakra from Hagoromo himself and
they may acquire a single forhead rinnegan. For the sake of logistics, lets
say they acquire one purple rinnegan in their forehead. Why? Because there may
be a component in Hamura's chakra that may mutate the rinnegan into the rinne
sharingan and thus since we are talking about one third of said chakra they
may acquire an incomplete rinne sharingan. For simplicity's sake let's say
that an eligible Hyuga clan member can acquire a purple rinnegan and that an
eligible Moon Shinobi Otsutsuki clan member can acquire a red rinnegan. When
that missing 1/4th is acquired this may trigger the third eye to transform
into its complete form, the rinne sharingan.

This hypothesis may connect with another hypothesis as to why Kaguya doesn't
appear to have the tenseigan while Hamura has it. Perhaps by acquiring
Hamura's chakra and the tenseigan and then acquiring the rinne aspect that the
user previously lacked, said individual may awaken the third eye as the
complete rinne sharingan, but as a consequence of its activation the tenseigan
deactivates, because the tensei chakra now has a rinnegan to be processed by
and thus in the absence of rinne chakra and the rinnegan the tensei chakra
manifests as the tenseigan in the user's byakugan. This maybe the reason why
Kaguya appears to lack the tenseigan while his son doesn't. I would also like
to add that Kaguya's byakugan is considered a kekkei mora rather than a kekkei
genkai and it may very well be for this reason. This is taking into account
that Hagormo and Hamura each hold an aspect of Kaguya's chakra in their own
and if both chakra were to merge, her chakra may likely mainfest in the
individual. As already mentioned, Asura + Indra = Hagoromo as shown by Madara
and unspecified Hyuga + unspecified Moon Shinobi Otsutsuki = Hamura as
demonstrated by Toneri. So why wouldn't Hagoromo + Hamura = Kaguya? Let's also
take into account that Hagoromo's rinnegan are purple and tomoeless while his
mother's rinnegan is red and with (9) tomoe like the sharingan. The absence of
the tensei component in Hagoromo may be the reason why there is a difference
between his eyes and his mother's eye.

A possible counter arguement for this last paragraph would be that Kaguya can
indeed activate the tenseigan and there is no relationship between the
tenseigan and her rinne sharingan as explained above. She may have simply
chosen not activate them during her fight with Naruto and Sasuke. It can be
further argued that her tenseigan may be more advanced compared to her son's
seeing as how her son's tenseigan seems to be able to evolve further by
sealing other clan member's byakugan inside it. Being the source of all chakra
her tenseigan could very well be more advance than her son's. However, this
hypothesis is also debatable as there is no evidence that supports that she
has the tenseigan.

Hope that this explaination makes sense and even if there is something that
you may disagree with or that you don't like, because it's speculative in
nature that at least this attempt of explaining an untestible unknown (until
Kishi gets off his ass and tell us the answer) may get your imagination going
so you may actually formulate your own explainations on this matter.

The byakugan was inherited from kaguya by her son hamura, while the
constituent dojutsu that comprise the rinne-sharingan were inherited by
hagoromo(sage of six paths), and as such, the byakugan cannot be transformed
into the rinnegan, as its chakra constituents are totally separate. The
byakugan can evolve he wever into the tenseigan, which exhibits similar
abilities to the rinnegan, such as attractive and repulsive forces and
truthseeker balls. In conclusion, the only way for a byakugan user to get the
Rinnegan is by transplanting one and they must have massive chairs reserves
and share even small relations to the senju, the uchiha or the uzimaki.
