boruto could be a massive prodogy doesn't mean he will grow up to be anything special. a prodogy is simply someone who achieved adult level sucess in sonmething as a child. an example of this would be minato as a child being better than many adult jonin shinobi. there is something called the tradegy of the Prodigy or something like that. the basic premise is that a child is a prodogy be it in Music, fine arts or say martial arts, they achieve great skill as a child, but grow up to be an outcast or a no body. simply put it a prodigy can grow up to be a genius but he or she may never grow up to be an actual genius. minato was a prodogy as a child and stayed one as an adult.

but people who say that boruto doesn't have any possiblity to surpass naruto i disagree. it has been stated in naruto that a shinobi can increase his or her chakra volume and quality. boruto was naturally born with a larger volume of chakra and quality of chakra based on whom his parents are. if he were to train as hard as naruto he would eventually develop the chakra he was born with into something special. he may not surpass his father but its possible for him to do so
