Surpassed the previous gen? There's a problem with the believability of the new manga here...
Naruto and Sasuke are transmigrants, which explains a lot of their power, aside from Naruto being a Jinchuruki and both of them getting Rikudou chakra (giving Sasuke the Rinnegan, which he wouldn't have otherwise).
Logically, Sarada/Mitsuki/Boruto can't be transmigrants, because Sasuke and Naruto are still alive. Mitsuki gaining a power boost can be explained by whatever genetic modifications Orochimaru made. However, Boruto and Sarada are still, even with their lineage and prodigiousness, regular shinobi. And it's not like Sarada's getting EMS, unless new writer goes insane and kills off Sasuke, or does some other nonsensical plot reach.
Basically, I don't think they can, even with a timeskip where they learn new techniques. Would you be able to believe any possible scenario where Sarada and Boruto become stronger than their parents based on some "chosen one" logic?
The problem with that is that if the manga ever goes to dealing with a large-scale issue on the level of the Pain Arc or War Arc, how can we believe that these three would be able to accomplish something that the original three couldn't on their own? In other words, how could their power ever become necessary and central unless they can surpass the previous generation?
Please discuss.

And in the gaiden Sasuke and Naruto became rusty. I imagine it'll be like Naruto(Boruto) and Kakashi(Sasuke)'s power relationship. Although Kakashi was really strong for a good while there was a point where Naruto had to take the focus. Another example is when Naruto was the only one capable of stopping Pain. He surpassed the previous generation: Jiraiya.
