Your comparisons between Goku and Naruto are irrelevant, I brought Goku up to convey how important killing off Naruto would be. He is literally the strongest shinobi with only Sasuke being on equal footing, there is no exaggeration to be had. We'll have to wait and see but my overall point is if Naruto's death is anything less than perfect it will be a fatal blow to the Manga and that's a fact. If Boruto and Kawaki are to surpass Naruto and Sasuke then it needs to believable, "they can be surpassed and apparently Boruto and Kawaki do that" isn't good enough in and of itself. Maybe I'm being impatient but my scepticism is well-founded when you acknowledge the fact Boruto and presumably Kawaki are born in an uneventful era with no war to help bolster their abilities. Madara slaughtering the shinobi alliance shortly after being reanimated proved that there is no guarantee a new generation will always surpass the old one, Naruto and Sasuke surpassed Madara through the intense events of the war, had the war not happened they would get decimated by Madara so all I'm saying is Kawaki has a lot to live up to as a character and it's a writing feat that may be near unachievable just because of how high Naruto and Sasuke have raised the bar not just in raw power and jutsu but experience.
