But that would suggest the Chakra leaving the whole palm entirely and the only thing we have similar to that is air palm and Shikadai showed no visible discomfort/reaction to it. And besides isn't he a natural wind element user?

Well, Air Palm is not even a Futon to begin with, its more in the vein of pushing the air towards your opponent. I guess you could call Boruto's sudden stop a mini-air palm due to the chakra on his palm continuing its movement when his hand stopped. An air palm would probably require far more concentrated and compressed chakra into one forward blow.

IMO from what we've seen boruto is better at say, the technical aspect of taijutsu while sarada is stronger. Mitsuki didnt do much as far as taijutsu iirc even in sage mode story. I'm not sure about their databook stats at the moment( I know they've been posted, just don't remember them atm)

I asked about the wind element because Boruto didn't even know he was infusing wind into his tiny rasengan (which if he could use Jyuken, he should logically be able to make bigger)
Could be similar to what happened there with Shikadai.

And chakra continuing movement on its own irrespective of the users will?

Hell naw. Sarada might hit hard, but as far as Taijutsu goes she has the same problem as Sakura has. Lot of force, no style. They can both hit hard, sure, but with so little speed feats their best shot at defeating their opponent in pure taijutsu without having to rely on distractions and surprise attacks is ultimately punching at the ground and hoping to get them. Sure enough, Sakura's most impressive combat feat of pure Taijutsu was to take down the Juubilings when she awakened her Byakugou.
I mean I'm speaking on the technicality of her fighting style.

By feats they are all pretty well rounded. Sarada defeated her opponent in the Chunin Exams, although we don't know how 'strong' he is, we do know how powerful her CES is via Gaiden strength.

Boruto's only real CQC feat comes from Yurui, who in the DB was said to be the Elite (like Sarada/Boruto). They matched each other in CQC.

Mitsuki performed pretty well against Suigetsu, but it's still hard to place him correctly considering the obvious gap.

I'm going with Sarada because out of those three she has the more 'Taijutsu esque' style.

I now see where you're coming from but tbh i still doubt that was gentle fist.

U dont need Byakugan active in order to utilize Gentle fist style combat..

Air palm uses compressed Air to launch jyuken Chakra from the palms , so ur right but chakra is also being pushed along with the Air. It follows the same concept as Kaguya's vacuum fist but instead uses air to contain Jyuken Chakra then by thrusting the palm at high speeds the Air+Chakra is propelled forward together.

I know that. Hinata retained the style even after Neji shut off her tenketsu. It's just the claim that the distortion on Shikadai's face was due to the actual chakra from gentle fist...I'm not too stoked on.

If he can do that, then he should be able to make a normal size rasengan as he's gotten shape manipulation ticked and only needs to apply more chakra. Is this right?

Pretty much. The chakra was on the palm of his hand, his body stopped, but as per laws of physics, the chakra, being not entirely inside his body, didn't, hitting Shikadai's cheek. At least that's what I think went down.

Not sure how him knowing a Kaiten would affect his Rasengan however.

The distortion was simply from the force generated by Boruto's palms , ntn more to it really.

Tbh, it doesn't really matter at the end of the day.

Fact is that he used the Hyuga style taijutsu and that puts him ahead of Sarada who is very similar to her mum iirc and featless Mitsuki.

Basically what I was trying to say. lol

You can. But without the Byakugan, it's pointless.

Sarada's Taijutsu with her Sharingan is the best, thus far. It's basically one touch, one kill.

Boruto's skill with the Gentle Fist is useless due to not having a Byakugan. His CQC is good though, but straight fist? Useless.

Mitsuki's Taijutsu is unknown. He has SM so I guess it doesn't even matter, but I'm not factoring those kinds of abilities. Just one's that relate to Taijutsu.

So going back to what I said earlier, Sarada is the only one to have a fighting style directly related to Taijutsu. Which is why she has the best.
