What? InoShikaCho parents were important during the Pain arc, with Ino's father trying to extract info from one of Pain's bodies and the other guy who was captured by Jiraiya. Shikamaru's father was the guy pulling the strings during the war before his death. Anyways, if you have a problem with Boruto's K12 being clones of their parents, it's reasonable for you to say the same thing for Naruto's K12 as well because they got all of their powers and skills from their parents, which was clearly explained to anyone who read Naruto.
