Boruto wins.

You kind of took away Gaara's Jinchuriki abilities that which he apparently more or less relied on till Chunin Exams.

as things go Boruto clearly doesnt have the speed that can get past Gaara's defence. Yes, the Boruto Stream is fast, but it doesnt have an exact speed guage. for instance, the very first time it was used was one and done time and that method was completely dropped off. it was later used in a way to have clones propel the real with Gale Palm. it is fast, but when Lee without weights moved around we could tell the significant difference. Lee was like appearing and disappearing out of sight, that how fast he had become, and something the Boruto is clearly not par with.

even if we assume Boruto Stream is somewhat close to Lee's natural speed, we must remember the tunnel vision effect. it was specifically mentioned how getting on that level of speed made Sasuke superior to Lee because the Sharingan could counter the tunnel vision. without the Jogan, whose properties are still clearly unknown, Boruto cannot get past the tunnel vision effect. he will speed straight into Sand Burial.

the Vanishing Rasengan is rather easy really. Yeah, there is no way the primary Sand defence is moving to defend against it, but it is not doing any damage to Sand Armour. the thing stood a beating from 5Gate Lee. Vanishing Rasengan does not have really any damage output to it.

and before anyone makes the CHidori doing damage. Chidori pierces. Rasengan does not. and even then if you actually go back and look then all Chidori was drew a bit of blood of Gaara. there wasnt some significant hole in Gaara to show that Chidori did any damage besides a mere scratch. it was more like when it was used against the Raikage.

Just so you know, Shiden is attributed to Boruto, but outside of Kote he hasnt shown using it. Mitsuki did though.

the clicher for Boruto is that he can use the Rasengan and Suiton and Raiton.

he can do a normal sized Rasengan which can plow through all of Gaara's sand defences.

his Raiton may not be powerful, but he has Suiton and we know Gaara's sand is weak to it. Hell in the manga Boruto can feel the arena which Gaara and Lee fought in some 3-4 feet water. he can even combine Raiton and SUiton.

Hell if you read manga and see his fight against Ao then there is no reason for you to doubt that he wont win against a Gaara that solely depends on Sand defence/armour and Sand Burial.

Yeah. If Boruto does get caught in Sand Burial it is game over though
