Minato, Hiruzen and Orochimaru all mastered the 5 of them by natural means. Boruto CAN learn chidori, but you are right about him only having Wind at the moment seeing as he only used Water bc of his Kote and Boruto overall still has a ways to go when it comes to being a true ninja. 1) Boruto does have lightning release. He used it in his fight against Shojoji.

2) Chidori requires a Sharingan to prevent the whole issue with the tunnel vision and how vulnerable that leaves its user. No evidence yet that his dojutsu can fix this problem.

3) We're past the point where Chidori is something to be amazed at anymore. Kakashi's utilizing purple lightning, which according to the novel is fucking awesome and Sasuke's OP variants of Chidori are like...multidirectional Kirins at this point I don't even think it's worth calling them Chidori. So really, what Boruto needs to do is learn a new lightning technique. After all, we need the lightning release techs repertoire expanded a bit.
