@TheIrishPizzaGuy I don't see understand the point you're trying to make when you mentioned that scene. Referring to someone as Byakugan user does not mean they don't recognize him/her as a Hyūga. In fact, they would probably conclude he's from the Hyūga clan since they are the well-known users of Byakugan.

<p>Does this mean that there are clans who posses the Byakugan other than the Hyuga outside of the leaf village? </p>

The Otsutsuki Clan are the original owners of the Byakugan, the Hyuuga Clan is descended from them
