Unfortunately not a lot can be done with the latest generations because the characters have either been fully developed already or are just copies of their parents. Boruto's and Sarada's character arcs were completed in the Naruto Gaiden and the latest film respectively. Additionally none of the other new characters were given any serious issues that the audience can care about. In the part 1 of Naruto the characters were interesting because they were flawed and through the series we saw them develop into better people: Naruto started out as friendless and arrogant, Sasuke was antagonistic and vengeful, Sakura was very annoying and useless, Gaara was a psychopath, Shikamaru was lazy, Chogi had confidence issues and so forth. Is the new generation this complex or interesting?

Therefore I partially agree with Dobbe81 and feel that the next Naruto series should go the Legend of Korra route and be set in the future. Although I like Bakumatsu Warrior's suggestions for expanding the current story, the company doesn't care about making the story coherent for fans. They want money, so will probably want to start a new franchise. So if they set the story in the future, they can hopefully make new more interesting characters than the latest ones Kishimoto churned out. The main character could be a descendant of Boruto and Sarada with a badass new dojutsu that has the power of both the byakugan and sharingan. The setting could also be completely changed, giving the new writer/writers more freedom with the world. So all in all, no matter how the new series ends may it please learn from Kishimotos many mistakes and for the love of god stick with one villain.
