It's useful in 1vs1 battle, but as 4-tails Naruto demonstrated, there a great risk of the collateral damage and the direct attack on the allies if they're present. We have yet to know Momoshiki's motives of possessing Boruto, and there's also no guarantee they're benevolent. Control is completely irrelevant. Was it not Momoshiki's takeover that allowed Boruto to have a huge increase in stats? Did Momoshiki not takeover Boruto's body just in the nick of time and completely demolish Boro. The answer to those questions is yes; therefore it was a convenient and sudden power-up. Why are you mentioning battles and collateral damage? We're talking about how this power-up impacts the plot. Ravenlot 27 wrote: For the second part, also connected to the first one - it's not like Momoshiki's possession isn't a risky deal for Boruto as well. Momoshiki himself implied that Boruto is limited by his own chakra capacity even while using Kama. Also, we already saw with Jigen what damage could be done to the body from the overuse of Kama - although he was an imperfect vessel, Boruto is yet to reach the state when he can use Ootsutsuki powers with minimum risks. Everyone is limited by their own chakra capacity. Momoshiki immediately remedy this by absorbing some of Naruto's chakra. So that is a moot point. Momoshiki suddenly emerging destroys the notion of Boruto needing time to become a perfect vessel. He made no mention of it and only referred to the dark destiny he alluded to many chapters back. Momoshiki can show up at any time he wants. Ravenlot 27 wrote: Man, Momoshiki even didn't do anything so special. He just demonstrated his innate levitation, boost in taijutsu and a massive Rasengan - something created from Naruto's chakra, similarly to the Rasengan given to Boruto to kill Momoshiki himself. Also, at that point, Boro was just an unstable blob which was easy to kick around, the main problem was only that Team 7 was too exhausted to finish him off. So who, besides god-tiers, can casually obliterate the bloated Boro? No one. Nekron2 wrote: Again, Boruto DOESN'T POSSESS any of the powers shown. What we saw is a glimpse of power that Boruto will receive after mastering the Karma. Unlike Naruto, Boruto cannot awaken this power when he is very angry or pushed too far, only when he is about to die will momoshiki save Boruto so, he can take over the vessel once it is perfect. The power is still within Boruto, whether he has control over it or not. Boruto almost dying is being push too far and Momomshiki made no mention of Boruto becoming a perfect vessel. He only talked about the dark destiny he alluded to many chapters back, implying that he merely wish to witness what's in store for Boruto.
