^^ True tho, but at that point Goku was supposed to stay dead as Goku himself wanted that, and Toriyama planned to jump to the next generation, but he got a bunch of death threats. And as you said death in dbz doesn't matter, which is why he was able to bring back Goku. But Kishi knows there's like 1% chance of Naruto coming back from death, so I dont think there's a possibility of him dying. And yeap Boruto does have potential but it will take time for it to come out of the huge shadow of the original show, and with this baby arcs that barely does anything to establish the new gen, it would probably have to keep Naruto alive for years.
