Bullied academy days are practically a trope among Naruto OCs, often being a reason to have them befriend/fall in love with certain canon characters. And quite a lot of characters set in the shippuden series are given similar training under Tsunade, with this just being a Boruto series equivalent.

So I don't really consider these points being enough to compare to a specific OC. I've seen them too many times to say it's copying someone else. If you read through more pages on here, you will probably see these points show up a few more times, as well as other various OC tropes.
