He wants to stay in the village, so he can't show his full powers because he doesn't want Naruto and the rest of the village to think him dangerous. I'm sure he will use it eventually, don't worry folks. Probably to save Boruto or whatever...

For his statement that he wouldn't beat Shinki even in Sage Transformation, the reason is simple: Mitsuki was already almost out of chakra, that's all.

Yeah, I pretty much figured that out...

But it does sadden me that he lost. Mitsuki is too much in the friend zone now lel
