I see some people bringing up Rasenshuriken, but Konohamaru only used Wind Release Rasengan. It's cool and all, but it clearly isn't the chakra mincing monster move that Naruto developed.

Having said that, I feel the genins' solution was a bit forced. Boruto and Sarada's reasoning was sound, but I think Mitsuki's was a tad forced, especially since he's the one that came up with hitting the villagers with a powered down wind move last episode. I liked the teamwork aspect and all, but it still came off kinda weak. That aside, Boruto Stream with Sarada's monster strength was still a great way to handle it.

Konohamaru was great and watching him obliterate a section of forest with just the blow back from Rasengan was cool.

Over all, I've liked this mission and all, but I do feel that it's too much of a rehash of the Zabuza arc with nowhere near as interesting villains. These two aren't going to leave anything close to as much impact and I'm kinda sad about that.
