Considering the guy had shown to use ninja tech and had a body filled with traps, no. It was too risky.

But for someone aspiring to be Hokage Konohamaru should've been able to take that risk. Also, I don't think Ao could've anticipated konohamaru's attack on his hand since his whole body was still inside the rubble. Also, if konohamaru was so unsure of Ao's tricks he could've used a long range attack just to be on the safe side. It would've been better to damage Ao at least a little before escaping than just escaping.

I really think they kinda nerfed team 7 to give Ao unfair advantage.
