People tend to use those terms in a mutually exclusive way. A spinoff usually has no direct relation to the mother show other than sharing a universe. A Sequel usually continues the storyline in some way (e.g. Boruto deals with the Ninja world in a post-4th war world). So no, it's not really a spinoff since it shares a clear link to Naruto.
