There is also the possibility that their encounter happened the spiritual plane? Which would kind of explain why Sasuke was able to see them with their rinnegan? The rinnegan is the so called link "between life and death", and we've seen the rinnegan on multiple occasions dealing with souls, especially Hagormo, who called upon the souls of the past Kage.Boruto and Momoshiki's encounter is extremely similar to Naruto/Sasuke and Hagoromo, with the transmission of the marks on their hands and everything, poving that Momoshiki didn't necessary have to make physical contact with Boruto.The "time freeze" might also be explained like that, since for instance when Kakashi and Obito talked, in real life-time Kakashi received his six paths powers instantly, despite the fact that they had quite a long conversation. The same time happened when Naruto talked with the bijuu at the beginning of the war, or when Naruto talked with TTJ Obito before extracting the bijuu from him. What i don't like about this theory is the fact that Momoshiki and Boruto had their conversation in essentially the same "physical plane" so to speak.It happened on Momoshki's planet, while Naruto and Sasuke were still there. Usually when souls encounter other souls, their encounter happens on a different plane, IE Naruto/Sasuke and Hagormo or Obito/Kakashi.Actually every encounter i listed, it all happened in a different plane of existance, except for Boruto/Momoshiki.

I simply like to believe that Momoshiki truly used a rinnegan ability to stop the time, and since Sasuke is a rinnegan wielder himself, he could see through it. The only flaw is that this would kind of mean that Momoshiki is still alive, which is not excluded of course.
