Team 7 could barely handle Zabuza and Haku because they were S-ranked missing nin. Zabuza could fight Kakashi on par, and was mid-jonin level.

These are just punks pretending to be something their not, low chunin level at best. Chojuro let himself get captured, let them scratch him, and showed them his resolve, and tested theirs. They broke, in my eyes, they weren't even worth killing, so he knocked them out like the children they are.

Considering he's the best assassin among the five Kage, if Boruto didn't convince Chojuro not to kill them, he would have killed them all quick and fast.
