Quentisan wrote: Why people complain about Boruto being very strong at his age ? People forget characters like Itachi and Kakashi were ANBU at a young age, Kakashi invented jutsu way before Boruto ever did, and both were beating Jonin before Boruto finished the Academy.

Furthermore, people overvalue elements (sasuke was throwing fireballs at age 8 or so, and Itachi was doing that even sooner). Plus, Boruto is probably the weakest form of offspring he could've been. No byakugan or six paths chakra for instance.
