I am surprised at how little Mitsuki's reaction and words are discussed here. I mean, yes, the main focus in on Shinki and Boruto right now but I can't help replaying that scene.

Mitsuki looked almost amused when Naruto called Boruto out, saying "What will you do now?", as if he is studying Boruto's behavioral pattern in several situations.

That gives me Orochimaru/Sasuke vibes on the 4th Shinobi World War, when Orochimaru decided to help Sasuke with the Edo Tensei, only because of his curiosity to see where the path Sasuke chose lead.

Could it be that there is more to Mitsuki's story than what we already know and he is there for a deeper reason?

I mean, Orochimaru's characterization is pretty much ruined on Boruto as if everyone suddenly forgot how evil and manipulative he is. I would like to see him as a villain once again. He was one of the most amusing ones.
