Concerning Boruto getting the Tenseigan in the future, one must consider that there may be more than one way to achieve said eye, like the Rinnegan. Keep in mind that Madara, unlike Sasuke, was NOT approached by the Sage of Six Paths to directly receive the Rinnegan -- he used a round about method that did not bear fruit until he was practically on his deathbed from old age. Even Toneri got his tenseigan quicker than Madara got the Rinnegan, and one can also assume (since practically everything about Hagoromo and Hamura's bloodlines are mirror images of each other) that if Hamura so chose, he could have GIVEN Hinata the Tenseigan to combat Toneri if he so wished. What we may be seeing here is a more roundabout, cumbersome way to achieve Tenseigan if you are not a direct Otsutsuki, but still distantly related (like Boruto). I propose that his eye is in the state that can become the Tenseigan IF he gets Six Paths Chakra (like the Mangekyo to the Rinnegan.)
