I want to do this...I hope I am not just asking for it with this one

I don't think we have seen the sharingan's powers to the extent to which we have been shown the Byukagan's.

How do we know we've seen all of the Byakugan's secrets?

I agree. All we've seen is genins use it. We have seen the difference in Kaiten when Hiashi performs it. Just like there's a difference in Itachi using sharingan and Sasuke using Sharingan. Hiashi's byakugen usage should be extremely badass.

i think we've seen all of it, if not all of the 'devastating' abilities of it. we might not have seen the other little things that it does but there isn't an important enough character to develope with the byukagan. however, sharingan is crucial to the 2nd main character of the story. kishimoto wouldn't have some super secret ability that byukagan has but it won't be developed/shown.

im still waiting for the opportunity for a hyuga to use tenketsu to increase chakra flow, as they had stated at least once or twice so far

Okay, I found a good site while looking for some Naruto maps that has some good information and comparisons between the Byakugan and Sharingan. The site is: http://www.anime-dojo.free-websites.com/catalog.html

Just something for you all to look at and hopefully get some ideas from. For me, though, it really just seems like this fight would come down to what techniques Itachi would start off using. I mean, he'd probably be smart enough to know not to get close to Hiashi, and so could use plenty of jutsus against him. But Hiashi's defence might be so good that all jutsus would be in vain. Who knows.
