hmm, alright I'll explain things a second time. Momoshiki doesn't care if boruto's friends and family get killed or if boruto fails his mission or anything like that as far as we know. He does not confer automatic victory. Automatic victory was only incidental to momoshiki trying to keep his vessel safe. The only thing not on the line is boruto's life but because of that you seem to think boruto's struggles are meaningless. It's true that boruto is no longer fighting for his life but naruto in the final matches of the chunin exams wasn't fighting for his life either. I brought up how the jonin would've stopped neji from killing naruto to compare them to momoshiki because they're so far above naruto's opponent that they make him look like a child, which he is. Boruto can still lose too- if losing wouldn't mean death. I think I already acknowledged how kurama isn't a reliable get out of jail free card. I also don't see how you can think naruto was on his last legs when we saw how much more capable of continuing the fight he was than neji, evidenced by the fact that he was able to immediately begin digging a hole towards neji with his bare hands and then throw a punch so hard it not only goes through the ground but also blows neji away.
