Vladosaurus wrote: 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. No need for him to know which one is real, Shikadai was attacking all of them at the same time.

Vladosaurus wrote: 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. Boruto doesn't have any jutsu he can easily shoot mid-air. everything he has takes set-up time, and we've already seen that Shikadai was denying him that time.
