Boruto: byakugan

Salad: sharingan

Mitsuiki: sage mode

Who do you think has the best taijutsu out of these 3 currently?

In terms of sheer Taijutsu Boruto wins easily. Much like her mother, Sarada is strong but she lacks a proper style while Mitsuki cannot seem to control his Sage Mode. The latter, while having his own style that allows him to use the elasticity of his body to its fullest, is still no match for Boruto using Jyuuken without even using the Byakugan and combining it with the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Boruto used Jyuken?

If Storm 4 is anything to go by, let's say Boruto. He knew what he was doing against Shikadai when he managed to close the distance also.

Mitsuki by feats, and Boruto by protagonist hype (we don't really know if he's a strong taijutsu user - it seems he's rather the ninjutsu type).
And Sarada...Let's just admit we got rather disappointed when we discovered the """""heiress"""" to the Uchiha was a Sakura with Sharingan.Actually I got disappointed with Tsuna and Sakura too, I was expecting much more techs (Slug sage mode etc) but anyways...

While not explicitly stated, its fairly easy to recognize the style by the way Boruto strikes with his open palm and the distortion in Shikadai's cheek when his hand stops inches from connecting.

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.

I really don't see what else it could be. Perhaps a variation of the gentle fist made for someone without the eyes to learn it, but other than that, I can't think of that as anything else.

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.

You might be right.. My only issue is when Neji shut off Hinata's tenketsu, she continued attacking with the style but it wasn't gentle fist any longer. I was thinking the distortion was trying to show Boruto was coming in with that palm hard as Shikadai showed no visual discomfort to being hit with what would be Jyuken similar to air palm.

Well, to be fair, Air Palm is more than just a thrust forward with your hand encased in chakra just like spinning around releasing as much chakra as you can won't get you a Jyuken. We didn't see Neji use Air Palm for the entirety of part 1, so it can be assumed that it requires some training and control to master it, both of which Boruto currently lacks.

Only Sarada because of Sharingan. She displayed very good speed feats in Gaiden as well. Burt's skills are pedestrian and we don't know anything about Mitsuki's Taijutsu.

So it isn't air palm but no where in the manga do we see Jyuken launched..It has only been channeled.

Well perhaps we'll know for sure sooner or later.

Well, we also never seen a Jyuken user stopped so suddenly in mid strike, but...alright.

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?
