I'm basing the touch on the fact that the bells moved when his hands grabbed them. He obviously touched them, but Kakashi substituted before he could actually grab the bells.I don't think so if your hand is wrapped around something it's not a time space jutsu. If it was as you say then Borut would've been holding the bell and not a leaf. It would be impossible to substitute. Borut opens his closed hand to see a leaf. In other words replacement was already in effect so Boruto didn't have the bell. It maybe been dropping towards his hand but that's about it
Hence why his hand was full of leaves. If Boruto didn't touch the bells, and if that wasn't the indidcaiton, Kakashi would of stopped Boruto before he breached his bell, or substituted before both.
But it happened after the fact. Case and point with the bell sound.
Honestly the biggest F-U from this episode was Denki using sealing jutus.Yeah I know and she was worried about Sarada so she used the Nue for a diversion but that's still stupid. But since the current theme of the episode was Teamwork I guess it had to happen.
I'm just looking forward for Sumire's enchanting abilities since it was revealed that she's an enchanter lol.
how tf is Denki learning seals before Naruto, Karin, or Boruto?
