The sad thing is we have nothing to gauge adult Boruto's strength. For all we know he is leagues below Naruto, and Konohagakure was destroyed after some long prolonged conflict with the Otsutsuki, not Kawaki.

Kawaki could have killed Naruto yes, but if that's happening it would be a heavily injured and already weakened Naruto.
