Er honestly I can see it going these four ways:

1. Complete Naruto clone, but he uses his techniques with more skill and strategic value. Instead of spamming countless shadow clones and rasengan barrages -- He puts every ounce of his chakra to good use.

2. The Minato route -- The boy somehow learns the Flying Thunder God Technique somehow through (my personally theory) the Forbidden Scroll? Similar to how Naruto stole the secret shadow clone technique from reading the scroll, maybe it parallels with Boruto finding out the 2nd's teleportation technique, and then he creates a perfect version like Minato?

3. The Neji route -- Kishimoto decides to play the Hyuuga side of him, and somehow he gains a mutation of the Byakugan where he can activate it, because he is not a standard Hyuuga. He is a Hyuuga and Uzumaki mixed breed -- That or Kishimoto develops an entirely new mutation of an new Dojutsu. Similar to how Kaguya gained the Byakugan after eating the Shinju Fruit, and Hagoromo was born with the Rinnegan while Hamura was born with the standard Byakugan. Maybe just maybe, Boruto/Himawari gain a new Dojutsu?

4. The Sasuke/Naruto route -- Boruto learns techniques from his father; Shadow clone, Rasengan, etc., but he does not use the techniques constantly. Then as a Genin, he makes a complete 180 and follows Sasuke and learns possibly the Chidori technique (because he may or may not have the Raiton release), and/or he might learn some Fire-style techniques as-well. So, maybe a mixture of both Naruto/Sasuke into one skill-set?

That's where I draw the line though. Anything else might just be a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4. I really don't see any more ways Kishimoto can flesh out his abilities, especially since he wasn't born with anything, nor was he confirmed to have anything either. Just that Prodigy hype.

Though in my opinion that's what makes him sort of exciting, because Kishimoto has so much potential for him and we don't where he is going.
