You draw the comparison to Naruto, but that's exactly what the blue eyes represent. They are his connection to his father, who was known for having bright blue eyes like the men of the Namikaze line presumably had for generations.One thing that still confuses me to this day:
Assuming the translations are correct, I'm not sure that this has come to fruition yet.
There are a couple of popular theories on the net:
1. The statement refers to Jougan
2. The statement refers to Senrigan
Both of these can't be true since the word used in the statement was plural. Also Senrigan is obviously out because they don't belong to Boruto. So most likely these blue eyes of Boruto refer to the natural eyes of Boruto.
Another popular opinion is that the statement refers to the Omnipotence switch event as taking everything from Boruto. Which might make sense for 2 reasons:
1. Momoshiki had been hyping up this event for a long time.
2. Momoshiki's reactions before, during, and after the switch happened seem to suggest that this is what he was hyping up.
But I would like to present another theory now. The reasons why I am presenting an alternate theory:
1. Boruto's eyes weren't the focal point or cause of the switch happening. In fact the entire event was pretty much out of his control. If anything Naruto was more at fault for it happening than Boruto.
2. Momoshiki hasn't appeared yet in TBV.
3. Two Blue Vortex seem to refer to Boruto's blue eyes and so there is a good chance that they might become more relevant now.
What if Momoshiki was just acting to throw Boruto off? Maybe he was acting to make Boruto think he had hit rock bottom and then went into hiding so that he can strike at an oppurtunity in the future and truly take everything from him. Boruto's blue eyes obviously have no powers so maybe they signify a trait of Boruto's that would lead to this downfall. Maybe the eyes signify Boruto's hope/optimism or trusting nature (maybe towards Kawaki or sumn else). Both of these qualities weren't instrumental during the Omnipotence event since Naruto is the reason Kawaki stayed in the village in the first place. But TBV really makes it a point to portray and question Boruto's loyalty towards Kawaki.
Or, Momoshiki did mean the Omnipotence switch, and Boruto was responsible for it (Which would be lame but aight).
