Each generation is supposed to surpass the next. "How" is a different measure.

Naruto is supposed to have a base amount of ability if he didn't have Kurama supplementing him.

As of now, hasn't Boruto passed Naruto in terms of skill since everyone chided Naruto as an "idiot" who only learned from doing? Perhaps Boruto is able to grasp complex concepts a lot quicker than Naruto ever could?

Plus you could always argue social development (Remember, Boruto has had a happy loving family growing up ... not being treated as a social outcast).

But leave it up to the writers to try and create the situations to test Boruto, and go from there. But it is kinda hard to create something more powerful than the original incarnation of chakra in the world.
