But then if there's no time jump how are they already prepping for the final academy exams. id have said maybe the naruto gaiden stuff isn't canon to the anime or is out of place time wise, but sarada still remembers the events. It honestly just baffles me

Pretty sure the show just started late in their final months as academy students. Like I said, we would have seen major changes in cast and their appearance. It would be pretty lame if they looked the exact same 4 years later.

Also, they probably would've done something like a "Four years later" Transition and show whats changed in the last few years. First of the anime doesn't start in the latter stages of the academy. The first episode of boruto is the first day of the academy. Remember he crashes one of the train cars just so him and Denki could make it to the first day of the academy. And I know it's weird that there's no character changes and that there was no 4 years later transition, that's one of the points I tried to make.

My bad about the academy thing. Its probably just an error then(Or Maybe Iwabes a little dumb, he did fail twice), because there was clearly no major four year timeskip.

As for the graduating from the academy thing, I think that's just the writers trying to rush things into more interesting story lines because 50-100 episodes of them at the academy would bore everyone.
