They're literally showing how formidable Delta is. Naruto easily had the upper hand in their fight. But the fact that he just couldn't goof around is shedding light to the fact that she's an extremely powerful character overall. Because this fight is coming across as badly written and contrived to me. I have literally no problem with Delta being formidable. But the way they're doing it here is awkward.

We apparently have Naruto leading Delta around by the nose. Meaning at the moment he is trying to fight her in such a way that distances her from the kids and the village. Despite this being his plan (if we believe Kawaki) Naruto literally just sits on the ground during the brief Boruto/Delta exchange and is too slow to stop her from attacking Boruto. Even though she is quite literally standing right in front of him (heck she was standing over him in hopes of Lazer beaming his face).

Unless Delta's kick (the one that knocked him over) did more damage than it appeared, Naruto being too slow in this whole situation makes no sense.
