If this was true, and assuming Hag and Hamura's descendants are "spread" similarly, then how come Toneri needs a Byakugan to awaken the Tenseigan? Granted he needed eyes, but are you saying that if he had eyes beforehand, he would've only needed the flesh of Hanabi? The process to obtain the Tenseigan is different from obtaining Rinnegan because Toneri is an Otsutsuki. Hinata should have awakened the Tenseigan when she got Hamura's Chakra, if it was permanent.
