Notice the quotes around useless?

Also I don't know what "logic" you think I'm using, I'm just going with Kishi troll logic. Sarada is clearly shaping up to not be useless, Mitsuki is too mysterious to be not be awesome, so therefore by law of third wheels Boruto has to get the shaft. It's a joke, you should try them sometime.

And yeah, Naruto was pretty useless at the beginning of the series: useless in that he didn't think, didn't know a damn thing, and just shot off his mouth a lot, though instinct and raw talent pulled through for him. Rather like Jiraiya. Rather like Obito, who even has the same Naruto-freezes-while-Sasuke-takes-out-the-enemy-and-then-mocks-him scene but with Kakashi. Who's to say the loudmouth Boruto won't go the same way?
