THAT is what u are aren't understanding. its the method. like I said before, if he had 2 weeks, I think he could have made a sort of weaker of that jutsu, which wouldn't have surprised me, but what did surprise, and annoy me, was him doing it just by watching, and then feeling like he wanted to do it, so he just did. when has anyone ever done that? its took sasuke, like u said weeks, and he had someone explain how it worked for him, even if for the briefest moment, while boruto just felt like it after seeing someone do it in 5 secs? like, what the fuck? Lol lots wrong with your statement.

First off, the time between the prelims and the final rounds was a month. Check the wiki.

Boruto was already stated to be a prodigy before the kote was invented, so until then, he earned everey one of his abilities.

Unlike Naruto, Boruto learned to use the Rasengan without a Shadow Clone, which Naruto couldn't do until he was 17.

Kakashi didn't invent the Chidori by accident. He specifically said he developed it because he couldn't combine Lightening and the Rasengan. So he developed it. It didn't just accidentally appear when he was attempting to form a Lightening Rasengan. Also, one could say the Rasengan is simple; you swirl your chakra around. Whereas Chidori is complex to the point of requiring handseals to mold your chakra. Obviously neither are actually simple and both are very hard to learn, as is shown by their difficulty rankings of A-Rank. Literally only Kage level characters have been shown using similar techniques to the Chidori, while Kakashi is an exception and developed it while he was young.

It took Naruto 1000 clones to convert his own chakra to Wind in order to cut the leaf. That's the difference. Naruto converted his chakra to Wind. Whereas Boruto used existing air. Just like it's easier to use Water Release around an existing water source. And literally Kakashi has used Earth Release Mud Wave (shifting around existing earth, just like Boruto with air) except Kakashi was 5. Sasuke learned the much more powerful Great Fireball Jutsu while he was still in the academy.

Midday and noon are the same times of day.

Sasuke took weeks to CONVERT his chakra to Lightening Release. it's been repeatedly shown that manipulating existing matter is MUCH easier than transforming your chakra.

And btw, Kakashi was 5 when he was using these techniques; when asked if he trained a lot, he said not really and that he read a lot of books. Kakashi didn't even have to train much. Kakashi learned by reading, Boruto learned by watching. What's so hard to accept? It's not like Boruto is the most outrageous prodigy we've seen. Itachi was able to threaten Kage level opponents at 13. That's when our prodigy Sasuke became a Genin. Boruto is a prodigy.

His ability to learn what he wants without too much effort is the whole reason he gets lazy by the beginning of the movie.
