But he didn't. Also, who are we to say that it doesn't need to exist? You also contradicted yourself by saying that it doesn't need to exist and then saying that it plays a significant role. Everything is simply up to the creator's (or creators') decision.

We even barely knew about the Rinnegan in Part I but then became a very important part in the story. The same goes for Boruto's dojutsu. Even if they never explicitly stated that it does this or that and other info. We've seen what it can do and they have alluded to us about it.

In short, just be patient and try to be a bit more open-minded. Kishimoto basically gave the series to Kodachi, who was the one who made the BS-dojutsu. Had Kishi continued to write the franchise, I doubt he would have created the BS-dojutsu. So a fan can't voice his opinion about the decisions of an author? Critizing the existence of an element of a story doesn't negate the point of its significance in said story. We didn't need to know about the Rinnegan in Part 1, because it did not play a role. When the Pain Arc came around, we were given insight about it. Boruto's dojutsu came because of a mistake, it was unplanned. It didn't show up in the movie. It made its debut in a flashforward, implying that he will get it later in life, and didn't show up at all throughout the rest of the manga. But nope, the anime has academy student Boruto activating it and it suddenly played a role, retconning the manga that retconned the movie. Everything from its inception, its design, what we seen so far of its abilities, Boruto having it from the getgo, its major significance just scream BS to me.
