Secondly, what's more important, the series prove Kakashi's words about each generation surpassing the previous one. '''For example, Naruto struggled in mastering the Rasengan for some weeks, and then struggled hundred times more (with shadow clones' help) in developing it into Rasenshuriken. Itwasn't easy for him in any event, but he surpassed both Minato and Kakashi because he managed to complete the last task these two failed to achieve. At the same time, Boruto already surpassed Naruto in this regard by mastering Rasengan in mere days and adding Wind Release into it without even realising it.''' That's the major example, but among the new generation, we can see similar examples, though on a lesser scale (Shikadai's modified Shadow Possession, Chocho's use of Partial-Multi Size already in academy etc).

That's exactly the type of thing that I dislike about boruto, they just introduce these new characters and with no effort at all they are doing things once considered very tasking, undermining the accomplishments of those who achieved said things in the past through sheer determination and actual effort in the process. Like killman said, that next generation always surpassing the previous one is extremely untrue. This is because, the madara, hashirama, tobirama, generation wasn't surpassed until naruto's generation, Kaguya's generation wasn't surpassed, hagoromo's generation wasn't surpassed, indra and ashura's generation wasn't surpassed either. There are big exceptions to this rule. If boruto continues down this trend i'm just going to drop it and consider boruto the movie the end of naruto, but thats just me.

In my opinion, Sage Mode isn't overpowered. It also seems to be quite different from what we've seen so far, so i'm not convinced yet.

That's not my point, the thing is sage mode is one of the most elite and revered techniques in the naruto verse, only a extremely small amount of people were able to achieve it and they were respected because of it. With sage mode alone, naruto could solo the 5 kage one on one along with most of the characters in the show past and present. This technique was just handed to a kid, making him kage level straight off the bat (let that sink in). From what we've seen from mitsuki's SM, it seems very powerful and he will only get stronger as time progresses.

Moreover, its a requirement to have large chakra reserves before you could even attempt sage mode training so its not a reason why it seemed op because that applies to every sage mode user.
