Naruto had two main goals, 1. Becoming hokage, 2. Sasuke (rescuing him, maintaining their bond and surpassing him). And herein is the difference between the naruto series and the boruto series. Naruto's goal allowed for sasuke to be the 2nd main character despite not having huge amounts of screen time because emphasis was always placed on him. Now with boruto he has no such goals, he doesn't want to be hokage and honestly I don't think he views any of his peers as his rivals not saying he thinks he better than them, just that's not his focus. Actually I believe boruto's rival is his father, he wants to step out of his shadow earn his own name and surpass him with his own strength and not just be known as the hokage's brat. And in that sense naruto would be the 2nd main, actually they can be several co-mains in the series shikadai, mitsuki, sasuke etc. it seems the writer is making a deliberate attempt to make character development more balanced in this series.
