I think a saving grace for this show might be that Boruto, Mitsuki and Sarada are a much more skilled team than team 7 was (No spoilers, this 'team' is just my guess based on the OP and ED). In the original, Sasuke had a lot of potential, but Naruto and Sakura were completely useless all the way until the Pain arc in early Shippuden (Naruto) and the Shinobi War at the very end of the series (Sakura). This potential new team looks like they might actually have some talent, and we won't have to watch them luck their way through the chunin exams while all the other kids actually have specific abilities.
Plus getting them out of the village will be nice. Naruto and Sasuke might be way OP, but they're not going to be out on missions with the kids any more than Sarutobi was. If I had to put money on it, I'd bet that Konohamaru would be their Jonin, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he's developed. I'll be disappointed if they introduce a Kakashi knockoff to be their Jonin instead.
It could be a saving grace and a devil's curse at the same time. In some form or fashion, Having a more formidable protag squad is nice, but can also be the cause of being uninteresting. If they're too good, conflict resolves could be.....tiring....waiting to see when they beat their opposition rather than waiting to see HOW and IF they will beat their opposition.
Shikimaru could only do one thing as a genin, and everybody knew it, yet his fights were some of my favorite from the series. He made what should have bee a bore, into the most compelling stuff.
I admit Sarada with a sharingan is more interesting than a young Sakura. And it'd be nice to see Konohamaru lead a squad. While not as interesting as Naruto's demon fox, Boruto's eye, and what exactly it is and has the potential to do is interesting.... Mitsuki id mostly uninteresting as of now, at least he isn't long hair Sakura level worthless.
But yeah leaving the village is a must. With Sasuke defending the perimeter and Naruto defending the interior, not much interesting is bound to happen near Konoha.
The chunin exams was my favorite arc, but I don't know if this show has the potential....we've seen all the major powers, so repeat performances will have less impact. After watching Rock Lee go from beating Sasuke in a sparring match, to takingoff his weights and displaying is blinding speed, to unlocking the gates, There literally isn't anything left for Metal Lee to do.
Compare how legit scary Gara was as a character in the midst of the chuunin exams to this show's best atempt of being edgey (Nue's possessions) it isn't close.
Power scaling and rivalries: Basically all the kids are super buddy buddy, and the power scaling feels like everyone is around the same level except for the computer kid......there is little reason to want to see these kids in a tournament.
Naruto had a lofty goal, that nobody saw coming true. Nobody acknowledged him. It was just so satisfying seeing him defeat Neji while everyone was in Neji's dick, and seeing the crowed cheer and give Naruto his first true taste of recognition.
Boruto doesn't have a goal, so what do we want to see him do? Sarada wants to be Hokage, but all the kids are close in power, her dad is known as one of the strongest ever from the village, she is one of the only 2 remaining Uchiha, and in this timeline a female Hokage has already reined. So nobody is going to shit on her goal of being Hokage, which makes her declaration way lest impactful or interesting than Naruto's.
Well.............During the original chuunin exams, it was hinted that it was a floating event, so it might be interesting to see them travel to say....the sand village and meet some characters hopfully more interesting than the ones we have with better power scaling and testy rivalries...............yeah, that actually sounds fun if they can pull that off right.
!!!! And of course we can't forget about Sarada, Sakura was so proud to see her daughter inherit both her parents qualities. This was a good episode.
