It was weird since Boruto actually has them by the begining of the Boruto manga, when they were going after that bear.

Wasn't it an emergency matter though? Plus, Shikamaru didn't even feel like pursuing his son who was after the same criminals that caused all those problems and were carrying very important info with them?

@Finalninkadog. From what Gekko implied, the whole plan was based over Ryogi's idea. Plus, the whole minor crimes around the village was to gain public support, so the Shinobis would be too much distracted with them. And thus, a clean escape.

I was also wondering why no sensers or Hyuga or even Sarada didn't notice the genjutsu influence in them. I guess, we can render it as, extreme genjutsu.

What I think is, any form of ninjutsu would imply that the shinobis are attacking on the innocent. Since even if the villagers get awakened from the genjutsu, they'll still find themselves locked in the shadow bind, and so, might find it offensive that the heroes of their village are using ninjutsu against Non shinobis. Plus, I think media and such would be a problem.

I guess the bandits were no less than Chunnin in their skill levels. And anyway, it wasn't like Sasuke and Naruto and the rest of the prior Konoha eleven didn't beat adults or strong opponents.

I think Gekko mentioned that he riled up all the protesters so that they wouldn't be able to sense their chakra and regreted being found out by technology. I guess, even non shinobies have some sort of chakra and when they group up or something, it overwhelms the chakra of the others.

And Shikamaru mentioned that Naruto would not be able to sense their emotions, since there were an intense amount of them around as protesters.

Denki is probably taken as the same concept of Sakura, being most human, rather than some real clan. And he probably will be weak in ninjutsu and taijutsu until he gets older.
