It was made pretty obvious that Shikadai can only sent one shadow at the time. So if he focused only on Boruto and his support shadow clone, as it happened in the movie, the other 2-3 shadow clones could've just attacked Shikadai since he was exposed.The other clones could've used Boruto stream or any other jutsu that Boruto used, or taijutsu and that would've been it. It's not rocket science... And i'm talking about taijutsu because that's the only thing Boruto used in that battle. I don't think they anticipated the large pool of jutsu that Boruto has used in the anime even by this point.
