Boruto is a strong ninja, but his advantages are simply nullified by Sarada. She's stronger at what he's trying to do in every way.

Also, really? Boruto cheated his way through the exams with Kote, and not even a little bit; he did so at various crucial stages. Sarada did it entirely on her own strength. She also didn't slack off at training. Look back to where Boruto cheated though (we shouldn't discuss the fact that Katasuke tricked him into using the KOTE, and the fact that he was doing it for his father). Let's just talk about the scenario's itself.

Boruto vs 3 Mist brothers -

Watch this fight again, in comparison to the other fights going on. Every Genin was fighting another Genin, there was even two Genin's fighting one as in double team.

Meanwhile Boruto had to face against three Genin shinobi who also could create three shadow clones each which resulted in Nine vs Five.

Though he cheated, he did not do it for selfish reasons either. He thought about Sarada before he used the device, meaning that he did not want their team to lose, and he certainly didn't want her dream to die here.

--- Boruto vs Yurui -

Before Boruto used the KOTE Device, he took out a normal shuriken and was about to use that instead of cheating. Instead, he heard Naruto's voice "Don't lose", and he immediately cracked under pressure and switched to Kote.

Again his confidence was the problem here, and his ability was cut due to him needing to impress his father.

Boruto knew what to do, and how to beat the technique. The problem was his ability to fight.

Boruto vs Shikidai

Clearly Boruto lost here, but I'm going to explain why this fight was messed up in Boruto's case. Watching the fight again, I noticed that Boruto only used the Shadow Clone jutsu -_-. Aside from that, he used basic Taijutsu abilities, but that's all...

Logically Boruto should know of the Nara clan shadow possession, and vice versa for Shikidai and Boruto's Shadow clone technique. The only technique that Boruto didn't know of was the expanding technique which ultimately gave SHikidai the win. In Boruto's case, he had other abilities to use, that being the Rasengan and the Vanishing Rasengan. At the current time he didn't see it's usefulness. Which in my part was the nerf considering how hack that would of been for him to have in the Chunin Exams.

Anyway he increased the size of his normal tiny Rasengan after the Dimensional battle, so I can't say I'm angry on that part.

But if you watch that fight again in slow motion. Boruto doesn't even use shadow clones to fight Shikidai at once. He literally goes 1 on 1 ... He uses the shadow clones to move around the arena to confuse Shikidai. He even used a shadow clone to walk in front of a shadow possession on purpose just so another Boruto could come in after and attack Shikidai.

He's pretty smart.
