The other sprinter dashes away, and Usain Bolt would have to get up to catch them. Even though Bolt is much faster than the other sprinter, the other can maintain a lead for probably tens of meters, if not more.

Now, add in the fact that these are Shinobi and even the slower Shinobi have incredibly high speeds, this makes sense just fine. Naruto wasn't expecting Delta to bolt and Delta got a hit in. That's it. We’ll have to agree to disagree, because I don’t agree with this at all. Mainly because it makes no sense that Naruto didn't expect Delta to dash away and attack Boruto when apparently his entire plan was to make sure she didn't do that. Also it never occurred to him that she might retaliate against Boruto after he attacked her? Makes no sense.
