Honestly, they should have either started off Boruto as an adult and make the story a lot more darker and grounded to reality (i.e. forgoing majestic beings who want nothing more than to destroy or enslave mankind trope), as well as expanding the Naruto world by exploring new countries or continents.

Or, they could just do the exact same thing, but with a completely new character that we have not yet seen, or one that has not been used yet (i.e. Mirai Sarutobi).

The old cast remain as support characters, and Naruto and Sasuke's battle prowess and strength cannot be challenged directly by any character. Because it would be stupid. Again.
