But that's not what you said: "You know the Sarada and Mitsuki manga right? Those are titled Naruto Gaiden. It doesn't have the name Boruto in it, so according to you, it counts as Naruto Shippuden and not Naruto Gaiden?".

A manga doesn't count as an anime. IF it were to be adapted into an anime, then it would most likely be adapted as a special (like Kakashi Gaiden).
