(Part 1)
Before Momoshiki absorbed Kinshiki, Naruto and Boruto appeared before him. I'm sure from his perspective considering that Boruto is striking similar looking to Naruto, he figured that Bolt was Naruto's kid, so he was curious in whether or not Boruto inherited the same power Naruto has (It is most likely referring to the Kyuubi's power, but it could also represent any power Naruto has in his body, including his Rikudou chakra):
Originally people thought that Momoshiki was referring to Naruto when he was talking about 'an interesting fate' -- But I thought the dialogue being hinted at Boruto was pretty obvious. The whole topic at hand deals with the fact that Boruto inherited nothing from his father when it comes to power, which is something that the Otsutsuki can bypass. The reason why Boruto has an interesting fate to Momoshiki, is because he is power-less compared to his father. Mind you that the word fate is being used differently compared to Momoshiki saying that he can actually see the future, instead he is saying that the future of this child is interesting because he is power-less compared to them.
As you can see, Momoshiki is capable of seeing the hidden chakra (or power) of a Jinchuriki (and possibly more?). One funny thing here is that Boruto is standing right next to Naruto, and Momoshiki is just now seeing that he didn't inherit any of the Kyuubi's power.
Neji too saw the same thing in Naruto when he was utilizing the chakra
(Just showing that it isn't strange for the Byakugan to see this, although Momoshiki saw the chakra without the release. It could be due to many reasons; Naruto becoming a true jinchuriki, Momoshiki's Byakugan being superior, etc)
(Part 2)
After Momoshiki is defeated, Boruto is the one who senses his presence, or spirit. It isn't abnormal for the Otsutsuki (or anyone with Rikudou chakra) to exist outside of life and death (Rinnegan users as well), we have seen Hagoromo interact with Naruto and Sasuke, and Hamura with Hinata. Even Obito who was a Juubi Jin utilized chakra in the form of Kamui to travel between worlds. Momoshiki who is an Otsutsuki, and a Rinnegan wielder, should not surprise us with his "ghost".
Anyway, the point I wanted to make here is that when Momoshiki is defeated, and once he noticed that Boruto can physically see him, it is due to him being related to the Hyuuga Clan (from his mother's side). This is important, because Momoshiki knows that Boruto inherited none of his father's power, but he also did not inherit the Byakugan (the white eye). For argument's sake, Boruto has not shown the ability to awaken the Dojutsu either, despite going through emotional stress in his arc, more so compared to Himawari awakening the Byakugan over her stuffed animal.
Take a look at this:
When you look at this originally, you might be considering that Momoshiki can actually see the future, but in fact what if Momoshiki is just talking about the facts?
> Momoshiki cannot see his own fate. But why? It is because he cannot see 'fate' at all.
> Momoshiki can see Boruto's fate quite clearly? Why? Because he notices that Boruto has nothing
Now you might be asking, why is Momoshiki interested in Boruto at all then?
Remember what I said earlier about Momoshiki knowing that Boruto is from the Hyuuga lineage but did not inherit/awaken the Byakugan? Most theories running around are saying that Boruto's eyes are special, and that he is going to unlock the Tenseign or something -- However, I think it is the opposite. I believe Momoshiki is stating that Boruto's natural blue eyes, the one's that he inherited from his father, are a weakness. Because they are not special.
Mind you that Momoshiki stated that Boruto had an interesting fate earlier, which had nothing to do with the ability of seeing the future, but with his ability to see that Boruto had not inherited anything (Could see that Boruto was just an average kid compared to his Father, and when Boruto saw his spectral body, he realized it was because the boy had the linage of someone with the Byakugan).
Lastly, Momoshiki tells Boruto that because he defeated a 'God', he can no longer be an ordinary human being. This is a clear sign of manipulation on his side, and I'll explain this in the conclusion below.
(Part 3 & Conclusion)
The only thing I can say about these scans is that Momoshiki's words earlier have stuck to him, when Sarada mentions his blue eyes being lighter than Naruto's, he is instantly reminded of Momoshiki's warning. You can even see the seriousness on his face for a moment before Konohamaru arrives.
Going back to what Momoshiki said earlier, he said the reason for Boruto ceasing to be an ordinary human deals with the fact that Boruto killed him, but in fact the author made it clear that the real reason Boruto may stray away from the average man's path is due to him receiving the seal on his hand.
Now, gathering the entire evidence, I came the conclusion that Momoshiki really cannot see the future based on:
> Momoshiki talking about fate with Boruto/Naruto because he noticed that Boruto won't end up the same way as his father: Not having his main source of power.
The reason why I state that he did not see the future in this scene, is because after scanning Boruto, he instantly mocks Naruto for not being able to pass it down. If Momoshiki saw Boruto's fate there, wouldn't he have known that Boruto was also a Hyuuga, and that his 'blue eyes will take everything from him?'
> Momoshiki only takes interest in Boruto really when he noticed that Boruto could see him after his death because of his Hyuuga lineage.
The reason why I'm having a hard time accepting the possibility of him actually seeing the future cause of the Byakugan (rofl) is due to the entire context of the scene itself, and how Momoshiki has portrayed the word fate earlier. The entire scene seems to be Momoshiki wanting Boruto to follow a certain path, and he uses the fact that Boruto did not inherit the Byakugan as a way to push his ideals. We even see later that despite the fact that this does not bother Boruto, when his eyes are mentioned, he is worried.
I have a feeling that these seals play a bigger picture in solving just what Momoshiki really wants with Boruto, and why he wants Boruto to follow this 'role'. The seal may very well be the thing that takes away everything from Boruto.
Anyway tell me what you think.
