I don't see him reacting in time to Boruto Stream for instance, nor do i see him escaping that water+lighting attack that he used against Naruto. And if Boruto would've known at that time how OP his vanishing rasengan is, that battle would've ended in a heart beat.

I hope the will dig more in the chunin exams matches in the anime and explain some stuffs. Boruto stream is a straight line, if Shikadai already had his shadow out he would have caught Boruto straight away.

As for the water and lightning, it seems like Boruto was struggling to even stay away from Shikadai's shadows
