Judging by that image they can't even fully admit how sexualizing that outfit truly is since they still soften it. In the manga the bottom of that thing clings to the body, in the fan image the bottom is skirt-like. Not only that but Salad's expression in that image is very innocent, like she doesn't know that the outfit is inappropriate. In the manga, it is clear she knows what she is wearing...or at least the artist does. As for the anime the first chance they got they switched over to Kishimoto's design for her and as far as I know haven't switch back.
Ikemoto should not have become kishimoto's successor. Yes, he can draw when it is his own original characters, but that not the point of becoming a successor to another persons manga. Look at dragonball super yes there are some differences but it still incredibly similar and recognizably dragonball in style.
As for Boruto, the sequel was thought up when Naruto was still ongoing. When Naruto was the second best manga in Weekly Shounen Jump -and was once a true rival to one piece the most popular series in Japan for over a decade at that point-, had a large loyal dedicated fanbase, had a large international fanbase that no other manga series could compare to, and was huge money maker for every company involved in its production. Why wouldn't they want it to continue or ever have a sequel to keep it going? Not only that but at the time it may have seen impossible for something to replace it. Three years later. My Hero Academy is the #2 manga in Weekly Shounen Jump and has become a huge hit internationally. The large fanbase was destroyed by the ending due to how they ended it, and Boruto is not interesting to most of the fans. The international fanbase has either move on to something else such as Attack of Titan/One Punch Man or don't pay for it. And it has become so worthless that most of the companies that once made profits off of it have given up on it, and hope that Black Clover will replace it, which it seems to have succeeded in Japan at least before it even got an anime.
The fact that Kishimoto has finally been allowed to leave is proof that most working on it, have given up on it.
Unless you take Kishi at his word for some strange reason, the ending of Naruto was crafted in order to facilitate the adventures of Boruto. SP and everyone else who profited off the IP all believed they could keep the gravy train a-runnin', but instead it's been a series of blunders they have had to do damage control.
They promoted Hinata because of her popularity despite not having a major role in anything, as well as made her the victor of the bloodiest shipping war since Han/Leia/Luke. Cue angry fans upset at this nonsensical pairing, that SP lied to them about the nature of The Last, wouldn't refund their money, crapped on the bonds the series was built upon and transformed the long-standing protagonist into someone seen as the greatest scumbag. The results of this put Hinata back into the background as they desperately try to pander with Team 7.
People are upset over Boruto's Dad being a bad father while no one likes Boruto. The movie already is canon and takes place well into Boruto's story, so instead they mess things up further by trying to make Naruto seem like a better dad...only he is going to turn into kitty litter later on due to already established canon. To save Naruto's reputation, they have to undermine Boruto's conflict and make him even less sympathetic. This is not how you create a protagonist people will support.
Then there's Sarada. Kishi made her to try and address criticisms of his writing being sexist, Then he turns around and hands her over to someone else, who then proceeds to sexualize her 12 year old body. The design is so negatively received SP steps in and modifies it, making it less pedo-riffic.
It's only going to be a matter of time before they're left having to tackle miniguns, lightsabers, and the fact Naruto was ultimately unable to fix the ninja world. The system is still in place to create suffering, yet the story is building up to a point where Boruto is the one defending the system and the bad guy is the one trying to tear it down, And with all the backtracking we've seen, I doubt they're going to make it so Boruto comes to realize just how flawed the system his father presided over actually is during Boruto Shippuden.
It's just one headache after another for a franchise well-past it's prime. They can't possibly be happy at how things have proceeded.
I have a fix. Boruto actually takes place within the IT, and he later comes to realize this. In the end he sacrifices himself in order to free the world, and Naruto gets the ending it deserves. Backtrack right to where everything went so very, very wrong.

I would go as far as to say ugly Tbh....She really doesn't look much like either of them -sighs-
. 
. In a hilarious funny way this episode explains the relationship between the mangaka and the editor and the creation of manga, you can easily draw a conclusion on how Naruto turned so bad 
with all the fighting she is SUPPOSED TO DO
