To tell the truth, I'm not sure if it would have been good to have Mitsuki be Toneri's son because of two things:

1. in The Last, Toneri said something like 'the moon will never approach the earth again' 2. IF Kishimoto would have made Toneri, Mitsuki's father, then I think he would have to make probably a big story explaining how Toneri changed his mind, etc... I read somewhere that before Boruto's movie was aired for the first time, a fan asked Kishimoto who was Metal Lee's mother to which at first he joked saying "it's a long story" but then truly answered something like "I never gave any thought about his mother" My guess is that's probably the same situation for Mitsuki. Kishimoto wanted to finish the story so he made him Orochimaru's son because he probably wouldn't have to explain so much Mitsuki's origin (personally I'm extremely curious about this character and I would like to know more), maybe because he knows that we know how Orochimaru and his experiments are, maybe he thought that he wouldn't have to explain how Orochimaru became a father (my opinion though is that Mitsuki is most likely that experiment, I doubt there is a mysterious mother out there, maybe Orochimaru wanted to know how fatherhood tasted like?). Anyway what I mean with his is that if Mitsuki was Toneri's son, Kishimoto would probably have to explain a lot (in my point of view) while him being Orochimaru's son is probably not so questionable.

Another thing I wanted to ask for your opinion... Do you think that Naruto knows about Mitsuki's origins? Boruto's novel says that Mitsuki showed up one day at the academy and that not very long after he became a face that to many looked like he had always been there and that he was like a protective spirit from a fairytale. I want to believe that at least the Hokage knows of his origins...because if he didn't...would Mitsuki freely speak up and say that he is Orochimaru's son? When it's said that he is a character that although always speaks his mind, he is also one that thinks before he acts?
