As far as I saw in that fight all of Boruto's combo fell prey to Substitution jutsu and Konhamaru knocks those kids like they were some kind of small babies caught stealing cookies. In fact Boruto is down for the count right now after a simple genjutsu. Kind of reminds me how kakashi took out sasuke. Agreed. If Kakashi wanted to, he could've literally have done that from the beginning. It's just he was caught off guard at how much Boruto was already capable of, but nonetheless shrugged off practically every attack like it was nothing.

Though Mitsuki with Sage Mode is probably on the level of a Jonin, and could barely defeat Shino who wasn't using the full extent of his powers.
