This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
Masashi Kishimoto, the author of Naruto series, has created an absolutely incredible world where even fate and prophecy go hand in hand. In the original Naruto series, fans saw this concept explored by Kishimoto to the fullest, where Naruto Uzumaki twisted fate with his own two hands, shaping his own destiny, and at the same time, this fight against fate is what led him to become the Child of Prophecy who would one day go on to save the world. The Child of Prophecy itself is a concept that Kishimoto particularly loved fleshing out in the story.
Although at first thought to be just one person, it turned out to be the duo of Naruto and Sasukeand they eventually saved the world from great destruction by sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki. But now the time for Naruto and Sasuke is over. Earth has a new protector, and in a sense another Children of Prophecy who are currently fighting fate itself and hoping to protect their loved ones from an even greater threat. This individual is none other than Boruto Uzumaki, son of the Seventh Hokageand the man who protects the village from the shadows.
Naruto and Sasuke were the children of the prophecies, but Boruto is the savior of the world
Years ago, the task of protecting the world fell on his shoulders Naruto and Sasuke in the Fourth Great Ninja War. Together, these two continued to fight Madara Uchihaand later, defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki by sealing her away and ending the cycle of hatred forever.
Naruto, you are the child of prophecy. I'm sure now. — Jiraiya
Naruto and Sasuke were the children of true prophecy who forced a great change in the world for the better, but now it's time for Boruto Uzumaki to step up. Boruto is a disgraced ninja who is hated by almost everyone around him, and all because of it Omnipotence. But at the same time, he is the planet's best hope against the likes of Otsutsuki and Shinju. In every sense of the word, Boruto is the protector of the planet and he is a star of hope.
Boruto Uzumaki is the next child of the prophecy
The threat that Naruto and Sasuke saved the world from was certainly great, but Boruto battles even greater enemies and the size of the threat he faces will only continue to grow further with time. Considering Naruto and Sasuke were called children of prophecy for fighting against someone much weaker and saving the world, Boruto Uzumaki should be given an even greater title for fighting threats much greater and protecting the world that hates him. If there was time for another Child of Prophecy, it had to be Boruro Uzumaki.
Listen to my words! Those blue eyes will take everything from you. — Momoshiki Otsutsuki to Boruto
Boruto will protect the world from all incoming threats
Boruto already doing an incredible job of protecting the world. He not only guards Konoha, but the ninja world in general. Boruto knows that the fate of the world is bleak at the moment and that i the absence of the likes of Naruto and Sasukehe is the one who has to step up most of all and protect everyone. At the end of the Boruto series, he will protect not only Konoha, but also the entire world. Just like Naruto was a prophesied savior of the world, Boruto will be similar. Whether he is referred to as the child of prophecy or not, Boruto will truly be a savior like no other, and potentially even greater than his own father.
