I feel bad for Kishimoto because he said, after the Boruto movie debuted, that he wanted to take a break and get started on his new science fiction series but he has still working on this new Boruto series to appease the fans. http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Shipp%C5%ABden_Animation_Credits

Also, he's just supervising this, and it's only a monthly series. His overall involvement is likely to be quite minimal, perhaps similar in fuction to an editor.
