The whole Uchiha Akatsuki Juubi war arc is all done and now they have this somewhat Uchiha that most likely was created from Obito's remains since one of them has his jutsu. It's either Kishimoto milking out the Uchiha thing with the Akatsuki and make some pseudo-Uchiha character or this is for the sake of Boruto having his shine as the main hero. I think Naruto should have just ended in chapter 700. It seems better that way.
