nah, Boruto isn't an alien.

from the beginning of the series, after he killed the one alien, its consciousness was absorbed by him, and at points, would manifest itself, taking control of his body.

anyway, Kawaki, the guy you see him fighting at the beginning of the series, is an orphan who was taken in by this cyborg cult, and experimented on, and at some point, is freed and adopted by Naruto.

because of this, Kawaki has a hero worship of Naruto, sees Boruto as his brother, etc.

but because of the alien consciousness Boruto harbors, Kawaki views him as a threat, so using another cyborg, who has uncontrollable hormones, making anyone who comes across her basically being in love with her (with some exceptions, like Boruto, Kawaki, Sarada), which is something she can't control, she uses some ability to make it so everyone believes that Kawaki is actually Naruto's son and that Boruto was the orphan who was taken in, and that Boruto killed both Naruto and Hinata. now Boruto is public enemy #1

in actuality, Kawaki put both Naruto and Hinata in a pocket dimension to protect them from the alien consciousness Boruto harbors.

and yea, there was a post time skip, where Boruto went off to train with Sasuke.
