I'm honestly not so sure if it's fair to call his skills with nature release "rubbish." I don't think we've seen much of his abilities with them. To be honest, the fact that he has more than one at such a young age is impressive by itself.

His tiny rasengan is actually really impressive. He doesn't need shadow clones to make it, and he's already added wind release to it. Adding Wind Release to Rasengan was literally impossible for Naruto without his clones, even after the huge shadow clone training he put in. Naruto was only able to add Wind Release by himself with no chakra arms near the end of the Fourth Shinobi War, and this is when he had Sage Mode, Kurama mode, and later Six Path Sage Mode.

Boruto accomplished it with none of these power-ups. Even the size of it can be attributed to Naruto's superior stamina. Naruto hails from both an Uzamaki (who's life-force was so powerful that she survived a Tailed Beast Extraction, then later helped tie it down with her own chakra), and Minato, who could spam the S-ranked FTG like no other and use Sage Mode to boot.

Boruto has half of Naruto in him, but the other half is Hinata, who quite frankly isn't at the level that the others were at.

I mean, I'd say Boruto and Sarada are about even. Maybe Sarada even has the edge; it'd make sense if they were trying to parallel the Sannin. Just don't downplay Boruto so much, because he's already a pretty powerful kid.

Also, I really like your ending bit, where Boruto has a lot of bricks but with no foundation. That was good x)
