THAT'S why I say its wank from the writers. What I'm saying is since you said "kkg are natural born abilities," it implies that you mean that learning the techniques isn't as hard as learning other techniques. That's not the case; KKG can be just as hard or harder than normal techniques to learn, but they can only be learned by those with the genetic material to learn it. So for example, Haku learning Ice Release to his point of proficiency is still impressive for his age, since those techniques are just as hard as any technique to learn. It's just only he can learn it at all.

The best example is Yamato. He was born with Wood Release but could barely do anything with it at first. So he had to train.

To recap that point, just because it's a KKG, doesn't mean it's easier to learn for the user. So any user who learned those KKG at young ages are comparable to others like Boruto.

And who ever said Boruto mastered a jutsu without knowing how it works from seeing it once? You don't think he trained? I mean, it takes the prodigies of Naruto a week to learn A rank Jutsu, so Boruto learning some weaker jutsu isn't so far off. Most jutsu were probably easy for him to learn, which is why it was a big step for him to learn the Rasengan; he actually had to try really hard.

I mean come on, Kakashi learned Earth Release Mud Wave before even entering the Academy. Learning Nature Techniques to mastery isn't unheard of for child prodigies.
