Not even one comment? ;.;
With regards to the possible "epilogue", I think the impact of that...well, it could be powerful and thought provoking, but it all depends on how it's framed. What kind of impression it leaves... I guess that'd be up to context. Which this, at least, doesn't have.
Concerning the speculation on the Byakugan and Sharingan, I submit that there's another weakness, assuming the mechanism you've suggested.
That is... if the Byakugan and Sharingan are actually projecting beams or fields of chakra...
That means they're an active sensor system, not a passive one. At least in part. And that's a weakness in itself.
There's waves of chakra being emitted from the bloodline user, bouncing off stuff around them - and that reflected chakra then returns to the eye. And only then does an image form. Or something like that.
But the thing is, an active sensor system could well be counterproductive in terms of stealth. Submarines can detect if someone else has pinged them on sonar. Radar beams can be picked up.
In canon, Hinata and Neji use their Byakugan for recon purposes all the time. But if we go by this explanation that the Byakugan user is projecting chakra... well, you might be able to see things at a distance. But someone with advanced chakra senses of their own might be able to detect you. Since you're going around making emissions.
Then there's the question of frequencies and jamming...
