Thinking back to the Boruto Movie, there's a thing I paid attention to. Using Shikamaru's absorbed shadow, Momoshiki calls this technique "handy". Yet, as far as I know, Rinnegan allows to master any jutsu in existence, and Momoshiki is a Rinnegan user. Techically, he could just master it by himself, but he didn't. Thus, the question: why?

With this question, the next one arose: is Momoshiki capable of the actual chakra use (which is known as ninjutsu in the shinobi world), instead of his single "absorb - amplify - fire back" trick? If no, some possible reasons could probably explain it (i.e. chakra of his world being different from that of shinobi, his Rinnegan having only this single ability etc). Yet if he has no such obstructions, it means that he's just too lazy and arrogant to develop his own abilities instead of relying on the jutsu of others. Actually, this makes much more sense, especially since he really has such a personality which is surely an allusion to Boruto's personality in the beginning of the movie.

If that's the case, how powerful do you think Momoshiki could become if he was more reasonable and tried to master his own powers properly? Since he already possessed such advanced abilities as Byakugan and Rinnegan to begin with, there's no doubt that this version of him would be superior to Momoshiki we've seen in the movie. Could he potentially reach Kaguya's level? Would it change the outcome of the battle against Naruto/Sasuke? You're free to speak your own mind.
