Inojin was so weak in this episode . He dies instantly
Only Mitsuki and Shinki can contend with part 1 characters.
The new gen would clear. The only time the rookies became an actual threat/contenders is after the 1 month training period.
Mitsuki, his SM alone is enough to contend in Naruto's time.
Sarada's for her intellect
Shinki only, the others on his team would be wrecked in the second part of the chunin exams. Orochimaru was also playing during these exams.
Boruto also could win because of his Jougan. That eye is hax. He also has several abilities at least to make it to the third round.
Only Mitsuki and Shinki can contend with part 1 characters.
I believe Shinki would clear the earlier part of the exams as Gaara did back then but i dont know how he would fair against Rock Lee
Shinki would definitely lose in the preliminary round if he had to face Rock Lee. Rock Lee is a bad matchup for him, its sad how weak his son is though. Gaara was also saved by plot shield, no way he could still have chakra after taking hits from 5G Lee.
But he would win if he faced lets say Ino, Hinata, Sakura,Yoroi (Sasuke's first opponent), Kiba, etc..
Taking hits does not mean your chakra starts to disappear for no reason. Not to mention the hits never fully breached his armor. There was no plot shield. Lee was just unlucky to have faced Gaara.
Jinrou, Logic's been trying to get you to come on Discord
OT: Mitsuki and Shinki definitely. Boruto and Sarada could probably put up a fight as well
