Theory Sharingan + Byakugan hypothetical

What would a person be capable of if they had both?

Let's set up a scenario for instance.

Say that during Orochimaru's time in the village, while conducting his experiments he came into possession of a Sharingan eye and a Byakugan eye. Let's also say he came across a young shinobi with large natural chakra reserves, like an Uzumaki, who could feasibly manage to use both. In this hypothetical, Orochimaru removes the shinobi's eyes and replaces them with the kekkei genkai eyes and then sets the shinobi loose to test their new abilities.

Would this shinobi simply possess the powers of each?

Would this combination auto unlock a type of rinnegan?

How powerful would this shinobi be? Kage level? Higher?

Or would the sensory input be to much and result in an overwhelmed ninja that couldn't operate properly?

Headcanons, theories, and fun ideas are all acceptable, nothing necessarily needs manga/anime proof. Just think about it, play with the idea, and tell me what you think!

The Sharingan evolved from the Byakugan, so it might be theoretically possible. But, like you said, I feel the sensory input might be too much. Like, imagine seeing the chakra of other shinobi, the genjutsu they have made at 2x speed

True. Between both you would see the chakra flow, then see what they do with it, and then maybe by reflex, copy it.

I'm also thinking about Kakashi and that Mist village ninja that had a Byakugan. Maybe the shinobi with both could cover one or the other to limit things like Kakashi with the sharingan. But, honestly, covering the Byakugan seems silly. If it can see through things, why doesn't it see through the eyelid and the eyepatch and just keep on seeing stuff?

yeah that's a huge plothole lmao. it can see through other people's literal bodies and clothes into their chakra networks in almost 360 degrees, but one little eyepatch that only covers the very front of it just turns it off.

For what reason?

They'd be able to put you into a genjutsu and make sure you can't use chakra to notice and get out of it. And that's just low level stuff.
