First I want to say I didn't think of this theory I saw it from a You tuber but I will eleborate on it. A nue is what Boruto's creature is speculated to be influenced after. Nue (鵺, 鵼, 恠鳥, or 奴延鳥) is a legendary Japanese yōkai or mononoke.

A yōkai (妖怪 ?, ghost, phantom, strange apparition) are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits and demons in Japanese folklore. The word yōkai is made up of the kanji for "bewitching; attractive; calamity;" and "spectre; apparition; mystery; suspicious". Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dkai

Mononoke (物の怪) are vengeful spirits (onryō), dead spirits (shiryō), live spirits (ikiryō), or spirits in Japanese classical literature and folk religion that were said to do things like possess individuals and make them suffer, cause disease, or even cause death.

Now i want to elaborate I think Boruto eyes is influenced based upon the pineal gland. Now the pineal gland is considered to be a third eye which is believed to allow you to see the unaware. And many people who claim to achieve the unlocking of the pineal gland claim they see evil spirits. More info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_eye
