Re: Boruto Chapter 18 Release (OD)
They prob just trying to force Kenjutsu on him early.
You say that but Boruto took out more of Shojoji's henchman without ganging on them so I wouldn't dis classify his CQC.To be fair Boruto's taijutsu relies almost entirely on using shadow clones so without it he is at a distinct disadvantage. One on one though she is definitely superior just like Sasuke was to Naruto most of the series.
