Yeah, it's true. I wish Naruto would've developed differently as well. But Kishi kept digging himself deeper holes when he kept powering up his characters so much. Now they have nowhere to go.

Sasuke... bleh. Didn't like him all that much. Sakura would try to be useful, but Kishi wouldn't let her.

I think Boruto is the series's second chance to make a real ninja story. A good story where Boruto, the protagonist, has no Kurama or anything to boost him. He just trains himself to stand up to the powerful beings. There'll be more room for variety too.
