Okay I wasn't saying that naruto punching through the ground was an impressive feat. I was just saying it proves he was way better off than neji after their clash. I said he seemed like a get out of jail free card to me until sasuke beat him, dispelling the notion. Now I can see how that was wrong too but then I corrected myself by changing it to unreliable get out of jail free card who's only used as a plot device when it's required. Naruto wasn't too injured to beat kabuto if he used kurama chakra which would've healed him anyway. Aside from the time when naruto had the five elements seal on him naruto really could've pulled out kurama chakra whenever he wanted to and when he doesn't, like in his kabuto fight, he had a plan that didn't make it necessary for him to do it. The situation with the chunin exams and the jonin being there to make sure naruto doesn't die is really just a microcosm of boruto's fights after becoming momoshiki's vessel, regarded collectively. I don't know what your reasons are for finding the safety in one to be acceptable but not in the other but the comparison was made without knowing about whatever reasons you apparently have for that so try not to act like there's an obvious issue with it. True, the jonin aren't always the reason naruto wouldn't die. Sometimes it's kurama or his opponent not intending to kill him from the beginning. I don't see the necessity in having boruto be in a life or death scenario when it can't fool us into thinking boruto's gonna die anyway, but I guess that's just a matter of preference that I also don't understand because for whatever reason you don't seem to have the same gripe with the majority of naruto in which he was almost never about to die at any point. What isn't is that boruto's struggle is not meaningless, which, I'll agree, you didn't say but still I felt like it needed to be stated.
