Except for the Sharingan that is a basic ability. It may be "complex" by IRL standards but to the Sharigna it is one of its most basic functions. As you do not need one of its latter upgrades to use it nor do you need the full three Tomeo to display the capabilities. There is nothing further for them to "break down" as it is as seemless an ability to them as X-Ray vision would be to the Byakugan.

I mean the point of this comparison is focusing just on the Byakugan versus the Sharingan directly in what they can bring to the table. And IRL person can possibly learn how to do something similar to what the Uchiha can, not nearly to the scale or capacity that the Sharingan allows an Uchiha to do.

If you want to make the argument that you can "anticipate" movements by training hard enough fine. But that ability is actually listed as one of the Kekkei Genkai powers; so it inevitably cheapens this power if anyone can just train to achieve the same exact thing What's applicable to Naruto does not have a necessary correlation IRL as even Taijutsu experts such as Rock Lee, Might Guy or heck even other Hyuga characters never displayed the capacity to predict an enemy's movements to the scope the Sharingan had allowed.

Just feels like a way to take away a unique aspect of the Sharingan.

Also [USER=245503]@Shen: Ghost Gym Leader[/USER] how do I work Darui into this mission for the Kumo side? It's Jonin selection is garbage outside of him and I have no way to justify him leaving the Raikage's aid.
