I think your idea makes sense. The Tenseigan is an evolution of the Byakugan, the Kekkei Genkai of the Otsutsuki clan, and the Rinnegan is a mutation that comes from the god tree. One represents the realms of reincarnation, and the other represents reincarnation itself. Your idea is solid.

I also love them as concepts in the series. I love the abilities of the Rinnegan, and while I do think the Tenseigan is cool, I wish it did have a single unique ability of its own. While it does have the Tenseigan chakra cloak that comes with it’s own yin - yang release truth speaking orbs, which is awesome, don’t get me wrong. But I wish it had an ability related to the concept of reincarnation. The Rinnegan incorporated the six Samsaric realms, so why couln’t The Tenseigan have its own reincarnation based ability? But nevertheless, they’re both awesome. The Rinnegan’s my favorite.
