Not to mention if they were to make him use a new technique every single fight he is in, they would run out of ideas for his repertory quickly. Dude is OP already as is. Well, yeah, he could have used Lightning Release as well, since Shizuma used Water, but he managed to beat him with Shadow Clones + Wind Release: Gale Palm + Gentle Fist alone, that's a cool combo in itself. While I agree that Boruto shouldn't have a new jutsu for every fight, saying he's high Chunin level is a little much, isn't it?

I mean, I'd say he faired in this fight just about as well as like, Sasuke and Naruto against Haku. And Haku was a trained killer.

Yeah, he's pretty OP for being an Academy student. But he isn't past all of the rookie 9 yet, so I'd say he's still around Genin level, at least compared to the main characters at the same rank.

I mean, by Boruto's age, some characters had already become Chunin. Boruto is supposed to be a prodigy lol.
