@AsianReaper But it's kind of nonsensical in that way. Shikadai would've caught one of his shadow clones, not the real Boruto in his shadow since the real Boruto would've been in the air. And also, how was Boruto even with shadow clones struggling against Shikadai in taijutsu of all things? It was made pretty clear that Boruto is the best in taijutsu out of the new kids, except for maybe Mitsuki. And then he gets another 3 shadow clones that should have the same abilities as his, and still can't get shikadai? There would've been a bunch of ways for Boruto to trick Shikadai, specially since he doesn't know which one is the real one.

In the movie Boruto was using like one or two shadow clone to avoid Shikadai's shadow possesion, while Shikadai standing still might i add. Could't Boruto just sent the rest of his shadow clones to attack Shikadai? It's not like he could've done anything about it. Or he could've just attacked him with one of his jutsu when he was in the air, since Shikadai can't lift his shadow from the ground.

The more i think about it, the more i can't see Shikadai winning without the plot. I know that Shikadai is supposed to be smart and strategic, but it was made pretty obvious that Boruto is also smart and strategic enough.
