Basically, the Boruto manga is a second chance for the series to be something fun. Have Boruto and his team go do missions in other countries and grow as characters, rather than thrust more angsty darkness on them. Since Boruto and Sarada are not the reincarnations of Asura and Indra, I'd expect them to not have to go through the same things Naruto and Sasuke did.
