Now that it seems like they are trying to tie in the anime with the manga stories, i know they don't want to contradict the manga. The Hokage is supposed to know about everything in the village, but he doesn't know that his own son saved the village from nue is disturbing. Sai pissed me off when he knows it was Boruto that convinced Sumirie to come back and stop trying to get revenge, but he told Naruto that it was memories of her entire class! I am like come on man.

The entire plot seemed to be forced, I know at first Naruto didn't believe Boruto about his eye, but he felt his son was telling the truth. Now if boruto would have told His father that his eye allows him to see the ghost that is possessing and draining people of their chakra. Then maybe the jounin could have been able to use his abilities to find Sumire and the entire incident would have been avoided.

He took Boruto's credit away to make a better case to be forgiving to Sumire. Sai also needed Naruto to believe that witch hunts against ex-Root members were unnecessary, it was stated in episode 13. Sai basically sold Naruto the idea that Sumire de-summoned the Nue and deactivated the Gozu Tenno herself because she realized she would be killing all the new friends she made, and all thanks to the fact that she was allowed to enter the academy and make those friends in the first place. I am sure Boruto prefers to have Sumire back than to have the credit for saving the village. He certainly seemed happy with the outcome.
