Boruto's Right Eye


So, I have watched the first 3 episodes of Boruto already, and they seem
interesting so far. But being a person who watched the Boruto movie first, I
have a lot of questions in my mind. One of them is about Boruto's right eye.
Whenever he unintentionally activated his right eye, he is able to see chakra,
just like the Byakugan, except it can't see complex chakra flows.

So, it looks very much like the Byakugan, except the eye turns black, and
there is no veins or whatever at the side of his face. [![enter image

So is this really the Byakugan, if it is, what type of Byakugan is this? Is it
because of Boruto's mother? In general, what kind of Kekkei Genkai is Boruto's
right eye?




**The nature of Boruto's eye is currently unknown.**

However we can speculate. First we need to understand that both of Naruto's
kids are unique in the sense Hyuga have traditionally preserved their
bloodline by marrying within the branch family. Naruto is probably the first
outsider who has married into the main branch.

This gets further complicated by the fact Naruto is the reincarnation of the
Asura, son of the Sage of Six paths and inherited the Sage's life energy.

Thus probable options are

  * Byakugan: It is a normal Byakugan but not fully awakened or controlled because of the mixing of bloodlines.
  * Tenseigan: In Naruto: The Last we learnt about Tenseigan, which is equivalent to Byakugan, in the same way Rinnegan is to Sharingan. 

However, what I would put my money on is \- An Unknown Third eye: Sharingan
has Mangekyou capabilities. Kishimoto didn't get a chance to explore Byakugan
that much because it was not the focus. The new author now has the creative
license under Kishimoto to explore the limits and capabilities of Byakugan and
how it can evolve.
