Updated: Episode 78

Byakugan

The Byakugan is the Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga clan. It is a dojutsu just like the Sharingan. There are few things invisible to the Byakugan eye. It allows the users to see an opponents chakra and chakra network. Among these abilities, it gives the user nearly 360 vision and the ability to see at distances unimaginable for normal humans.

The Byakugan lends itself to certain types of Taijutsu. The ability to see the chakra network allows users of the Byakugan to attack it with small bursts of chakra. Because the chakra network is interwoven with vital internal organs, attacking the network damages the inside of the body. As noted in the series, it is impossible to train and toughen these internal organs, so even the strongest ninja are vulnerable to this type of attack. Another use of being able to see the chakra network is the ability to attack points on the chakra network to increase or halt the flow of chakra. By attacking all of the chakra points, a user's chakra can be completely drained.

Crystal Ice Mirrors

This secret jutsu is only found in Haku. The clan that he belongs to is unknown; therefore, it is also unknown who else might hold this Kekkei Genkai. The Crystal Ice Mirrors jutsu uses water to form mirrors of ice around an enemy. Using speed which normal eyes cannot see, Haku slips between different mirrors to allow attacks from many directions seemingly at once. The reflective properties of the mirrors allow Haku to appear to be in all of them at once making counterattack futile.

Dead Bone Pulse

The Kekkei Genkai of the Kaguya clan. This clan, a band of warriors, all but perished years ago in a vain effort to destroy the Mist Village. The clan lived only for battle and died as such. The only member of the clan to survive the attack was Kimimaro, who would go on to wield his Kekkei Genkai for Orochimaru.

Dead Bone Pulse gives its user the ability to completely control their bone structure. They can rearrange bones in their body, create new bones, and even project bones outside of their skin. This makes Dead Bone Pulse an ultimate defense.

Sharingan

The Sharingan is the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha clan. It is a rare dojutsu, an ability residing in the eyes. It allows the user to instantly comprehend any Taijutsu, Genjutsu, or Ninjutsu used by an opponent. This allows one to analysis a technique to defend against it and to instantly copy the jutsu and movements flawlessly.

In some unexplained tragedy, a "certain someone" slaughtered nearly every member of the Uchiha clan. The only survivor was Sasuke.

Kakashi also possesses the Sharingan. It is unknown by what means he obtained the Sharingan, but the scar over the one eye in which he possesses it hints towards violent means.
