If there is another level to the sharingan, why can't there be another level to the byakugan?

It wasn't too surprising when Hinata learned that she had been passed over for heir and would be banished to the branch clan. It was surprising, however, when she found out that Neji was willing to risk his life to make sure that she was not caged. He had helped her with alibis and forged mission papers as Hinata left the village, never to return. He wanted to make sure that at least she could fly free.
Hinata declared herself a missing nin with a slash across her headband. After a week or two, she was officially listed as missing and Anbu started coming after her. Hinata quickly learned that her peace loving ways wouldn't get her far with so many people trying to kill her. She could no longer afford to pull her hits.
She made sure to keep a genjutsu on herself so that no one would know that she had the byakugan as she traveled through towns. She healed herself and rested in sleazy motels, the kind where no one would take note of who is coming or going or care to share such information.
Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, judging by the four man hunter nin squad that was currently after her. She set traps that had slowed them down but they seemed to be herding her. Hinata found herself stopped by a rain of kunai. A genjutsu was cast by one of them which she quickly broke but not before another started attacking her with his katana. Dodging the down stroke of the blade she moved into another hunter nin right behind her. This one attempted to freeze her by touch but Hinata managed to release her chakra from her tenketsu and thaw herself before turning and delivering a blow that would have been fatal if it hadn't been blocked. She quickly realized that another genjutsu was being cast and attempted to release it. No one was near her, but a rain of senbon. Apparently they knew better than to get too close. She used the eight trigrams technique to keep the weapons from hitting her. Hinata did not worry about using the signature technique of her clan as it appeared that they already knew who she was. As several senbon hit her anyway and her vision started to blur, she realized that the senbon were poisoned.
For all Hinata could see, it just wasn't enough. She had to focus even more if she wanted to live. Suddenly, she found herself seeing what she hadn't a minute ago - true 360 degree vision. She had flashes of images that she knew were not of the surrounding landscape, but were of her being killed and injured in various ways. She also saw herself – from someone else's eyes.
She deduced her opponents positions from their perspectives of her. She formed shadow clones – Naruto's signature technique, she thought sadly – before quickly dispersing them. Being able to see what her opponents were thinking helped her to dodge their upcoming attacks and strike back. The squad of hunter nin was successfully dealt with but not without complications. Hinata staggered to rest against a tree as she used what was left of her chakra to pull the poison out of her body. She fell asleep not far from the fight, exhausted.
