Sooo your problem is that you think that because Boruto got the Kama and Jougan from landing the killing blow on Momoshiki that it's a what? A move to replace Naruto?

You need to chill and relax, this sounds like you'll have a problem if anyone stronger than Naruto/Sasuke shows up but either way.

You can play it off like the writers just made it up out of nowhere because the last time I check that's how stories usually go -> coming up with ideas. Shit you can even say that the appearance of Kaguya was made up out of nowhere just so they could kill and replace Madara as the final boss. What's the difference between that and this?

Anyways there was already an explanation how Boruto got the mark which shouldn't cause any problems whatsoever. He landed a fatal blow on a god and received something in return for it, nothing wrong with that. It was revealed how Kawaki got his Kama - through SCIENCE! It only took 15 deaths for the creepy dude to transfer his Kama. As for the Jogan it will be explained with time as the author himself said. We already know it's related to the Otsutsuki clan and we already know that Boruto does have a connection to said clan through his Hyuuga heritage. But I will reiterate, it will be explained. If it suddenly appeared in the middle of battle then sure I'd say it was an asspull but no they were literally building (world/lore building) the Jogan up from the very first episode. Think of it as the Sharingan of the Boruto series.

All you're doing is "assuming" but there was that flashforward but who knows; if Naruto does die in the future then he dies whether it's by a backstab or an epic battle is to be seen. Either way his time has passed the sequel's main character is Boruto not Naruto.
