Except there's not. Boruto chapters 1-10 were covered between episodes 53-66, and it would have taken fewer episodes if they hadn't significantly expanded certain portions of the Chunin Exams and some of the fight against the Otsutsuki. And that's taking in consideration Boruto manga chapters are already longer than Naruto ones, owing to their monthly nature instead of weekly. The manga is only 24 chapters ahead of what the anime has covered, and once again, the anime is still weekly. They'd adapt what the manga has shown in no time, and would be forced to go back to filler, since there's no indication the anime will ever not be weekly. Even if they expand stuff in the anime like they did with the Momoshiki arc, that still won't buy them enough time. And yes, Koji appeared in the anime for about 5 seconds, episode 53, that's why we have debut sections in infoboxes.
