Naruto is willingly letting himself hit and taken down so that Delta focuses on him, and not the kids. As Kawaki said, Naruto is dragging the battle away from them and he is also making her waste her chakra and power, as Naruto himself stated when he let Deta take him down and waste her laser.

Also Naruto is not really using any hard blows on her. I mean either Asura fist or unraivalled strength would surely take her down, but he would most likely destroy the entire area and he would put the kids in great danger. Not saying Delta is not tanky, because she clearly is, but she is yet to experience Naruto’s actual strong blows imo.

Also regarding his speed, if that laser is indeed light speed than there is no surprise in Naruto barely reaching Himawari. Kawaki intercepting it makes things kind of contradictory, but that laser is surely fast. I also believe that Naruto should have beat the laser in speed, if it’s not actually light speed. It definetly seems to be at least close to Madara’s light fang in terms of speed however.
