Board Thread:Boruto: Naruto the Movie/@comment-27828147-20160219143650/@comment-5936871-20160319005852

Naruto's physical prowess isn't even remotely impressive at that point. With the Kote, Boruto used a small Water Release wave and then electrified the water to shock his opponents and no one batted an eye. So those are likely the basic Water Release and Lightning Release that he can use. It does make him great, it means he is an exceptional prodigy. Like I said, he subconsciously did something that freaking Minato couldn't do before he died, Kakashi could never do, and Naruto required 3 days of severe training with thousands of Shadow Clones to do. Naruto likened it to being nearly impossible and "trying to look left and right" at the same time. Yet Boruto did it subconsciously. It is a very, very impressive feat.

He can change the direction of the shuriken after they have been thrown, and he did so in combat. It's true that Neji had the Rotation and Byakugan, but he lacks Shadow Clones, three chakra natures, shurikenjutsu, and a Vanishing Rasengan that make up for it. By the end of the movie, right before the credits, Boruto makes a regular sized Rasengan. Also, Naruto's chakra reserves have always depended on Kurama. Minato specifically made the seals work in such a way that Naruto and Kurama's chakra gradually mix together over time naturally boosting Naruto's own reserves. But yes I agree, Naruto's own reserves were obviously naturally very large, powerful, and as stated had a special attribute to them that made him a well-suited Jinchuriki. As an infant Naruto could easily hold half of Kurama in him without issue, an adult Minato could barely hold half himself. But my point is, overall based on what we've seen Boruto is already more impressive than Naruto considering he isn't even a Jinchuriki, the reincarnation of a Demi-God, and he has had far less screentime.
