Can anyone brief a little about the link between the Byakugan, Rinnegan, and
Sharingan? I know the meanings, but I don't know the relationship between the
eyes.

What is the relationship between the Byakugan, Rinnegan, and Sharingan?


Like Akira said in the comment, they all come from Kaguya. That is, Kaguya
owned both Byakugan and Rinnegan. Her son Hagoromo, widely known as Rikudo-
sennin, inherited Rinnegan. His twin brother, Hamura inherited Byakugan.
Hagoromo's son Indra owns Sharingan, while his other son Asura owned his great
life force. Only when both are present then one can have Rinnegan.

The progenitor of chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was the first character
(historically) to have Byakugan on Earth.

After eating the Chakra Fruit, she awakens a third eye on her forehead, the
Rinne Sharingan.

Now the Rinne Sharingan is completely independent of the Byakugan's influence.
This is because the [Rinne
Sharingan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinne_Sharingan) is the result of the
manifestation of the powers of the Chakra Fruit on a person.

When her two sons, Hagoromo and Hamura were born, they had their mother's
Byakugan. As time progressed, Hagoromo awakens a new dojutsu, the Sharingan.
In the anime, Hagoromo awakened the Sharingan after finding the corpse of his
love interest Haori.

The Sharingan is a derived form of the Rinne Sharingan, meaning, weaker. But
powerful nevertheless. He goes on to attain the Mangekyou Sharingan also, but
that is not shown on screen.

Hagoromo then achieves the Rinnegan, after nearly killing his brother (and
thereby freeing him from his mother's control).

The Rinnegan is a much more advanced form of the Sharingan and it has a wide
range of powers. The Rinnegan is stated to be something that is unique to the
Sage of Six Paths, which is why, to obtain the Rinnegan, shinobi mix the
chakra of Ashura and Indra (thereby getting Hagoromo's chakra).

While the Byakugan doesn't have any direct link to the Rinnegan and Sharingan,
it does play a significant role in their creation, along with the Rinne
Sharingan.

Byakugan originally came from the Otsutsuki clan. Kaguya has Byakugan, since
she is from that clan. In order to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kaguya
activated her Rinne Sharingan.

Indra, a grandson of Kaguya, was born with the Sharingan. From him, the Uchiha
clan existed, and they all could awaken Sharingan.

Hagoromo, a son of Kaguya, had the Rinnegan. Sasuke was able to get part of
the Rinnegan because Hagoromo gave it to him.

By the way, I'm not taking into account the Naruto Shippuden fillers.

The Byagugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan are all dojutsu, and are all passed down
from Hagoromo Otsukiki, also known as "Sage of Six Paths". While they are all
considered bloodline traits (Kekki Genkai), they also have diffferent
abilities and characteristics. The Rinnegan's physical appearance is usually a
white eye with a bunch of circles coiling around in it. The Sharingan is red,
with 3 black tomoe mark and the Byagugan is an eye thats pure white and gray.

The Byakugan is a pure dojutsu by itself, while the Rinnegan and Sharigan are
the separated dojutsu of the Rinne-Sharingan, the third eye manifested by
Kaguya. The Byakugan seems to have existed before the Rinnegan and Sharingan
as it seems to have been present in Kaguya's eyes before her arrival on earth.
The Rinne-Sharingan came into existence when Kaguya ate the chakra fruit of
the divine tree. The three dojutsu were separated when Kaguya gave birth to
Hagaromo and Hamura Otsutsuki. Hamura inherited the Byakugan and Hagaromo
inherited the separated Rinne-Sharingan, in their constituent forms, as the
basic Sharingan and the Rinnegan. The Sharingan of Hagaromo entered its
Mangekyou state after killing Hamura then resurrecting him using condensed
sage power (nature energy). The Rinnegan seemed to be associated with the
general Rinne-Sharingan pattern and six of the nine Tomoe, and the Sharingan
represents the colour and three of the nine Tomoe.

It could be that the Rinnegan is a "diluted" version of the Rinne Sharingan.
Like how the Sharingan can be considered a "diluted" Rinnegan as you need to
mix Indra and Ashura chakra (Sharingan + Life Force/Sage's Body) to get
Rinnegan.

Something like genetic degradation/dilution due to reproducing with locale
humans.

They all come from Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya's sons Hagoromo and Hamura were
both born with the Otsutsuki family trait of the Byakugan. However, after the
death of his loved one, Hagoromo awakened the sharingan, and after almost
killing Hamura, awakened the Rinnegan. The sharingan and Rinnegan both come
from Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan, the third eye on her forehead that she got
after eating the chakra fruit, giving her the power to perform the Infinite
Tsukiyomi. I'm going to assume you know how the Uchiha got the Sharingan and
how the Rinnegan can be achieved. Hamura had the Byakugan, as stated above,
and passed that down to his Otsutsuki descendants that lived on the moon, as
well as his descendants that lived on earth, the Hyuga. There is also a
Byakugan equivalent of the Rinnegan, the Tenseigan, that was first awakened by
Hamura, and can be awakened by mixing the blood of the Hyuga and Otsutsuki of
the Moon clans. Its powers are similar to that of the Rinnegan.
