Let's see... if I go by what the novel said... (which isn't canon to me at all)

The comment is about his skill. The narrator comments on how Boruto managed to do three things at once- restrain Sarada’s movements, control his two kage bunshin, and strike the panda bear in the vitals.
Then, verbatim it’s
“Overall, it wasn’t the skill of a genin.
It was at chuunin…no, maybe even jounin class.”

But honestly Boruto pulling off a feat that Prodigies failed to do makes him a Prodigy/Genius himself.

It all goes back to portrayal. People thinking that he used a device which he was tricked in to makes anything he has done before any less credible can suck it :coffee:

They were wrong about the cake scene
They'll be wrong again

Genius is a person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative.
Talent someone with natural skills.
Prodigy someone like Boruto and Minato.

A Prodigy is someone who masters things at a very young age. Sort of like a young genius.

A Genius is a person who uses their surroundings to their advantage. Someone who analyzes the plain-filed and can win off of that. Also IQ has to be 200.

A Person with Talent is a person who is a very late bloomer. His/Her abilities only spark when they are very emotionally disturbed. Also they have a lot of potential when they awaken their talent.

Mitsuki is the genius duo to be Orochimaru's child.
Sarada is talented since she is an Uchiha and has perfectChakra control.
Boruto the prodigy because he is Boruto :bdpf:

By that logic

4th hokage, Neji, Kakashi, Itachi and Madara are the true prodigious!

orochimaru, 2nd hokage, 3rd hokage, Sasuke and shikamaru are Geniuses!

Naruto and hashi are people with talent!

They're all pretty much the same imo depends on how a person uses them

Right but then again those people who master things quickly have a very high understanding of how things work. Think about it. if you Master a programming language like C++ within a year, then when learning a new programming language, you should master it within a month. All due to understanding the fundamental of how things work when learning the first language.

This is also why people who're good at math, learn things at faster pace!
