But in the anime, I can root for him to be better because his intentions were win for his friends even though his actions were bad. To be honest, I expected him to use a Chidori rather than Purple Lightning. Considering that was the jutsu he was shown and amazed by. It would be a good reminder of how his master used it against Shinki's dad. And it would have been a more reasonable shocking moment for Naruto. Like the chunnin exams were always about improving one's ability, Naruto learned to control the Tailed beast, Sasuke learned the chidori and hightened in speed. Even if Purple Lightning was a high level jutsu, it shouldn't matter if he learns to use it. Like, for Chidori, Naruto already knows that Neither Kakashi nor Sasuke would be irresponsible enough to teach Boruto a dangerous jutsu like that. While purple lightning is probably a high class jutsu, but Boruto learned the Rasengan in three days, so....

Plus, to be fair, I don't see this as a big deal, considering how this Chunnin Exam was conducted, like with Araya for example. None of them were as serious as they used to be. Even the final exam wasn't serious enough, like how many days were they given for training? Naruto and Sasuke had a month to prepare, and taking the plot, with Sasuke and the team, researching about the scroll and all the five kage present from the beginning of the exam, it doesn't seem like there was a month to prepare in between the exams. Which was a necessary phase for Naruto and Sasuke's improvement. Who knows what Boruto might have become under Sasuke with a month to spare.

Plus, can we even consider it as cheating? Ninja's are always taught to be secretive and be cunning to the situation, even the first exam had that theme. Using the Kote might be cheating, but in the same sense, Gaara was using his tailed beast to overpower everyone in the exam, an I don't think no one knew about it. And Naruto and Sakura almost cheated during the Forest of Death period, with the scrolls.

And finally, Boruto was manipulated by Katsuke, the same way Mitsuki(The guy from the beginning of Naruto) manipulated Naruto to steal the scrolls, which is an even bigge thing. Well tailed beasts can not be just kept apart by Jinchurikis in fight. Jinchurikis used them i.e GARRA,NARUTO .. It was third Hokage who allowed Naruto in the Academy .. But the Third didnt know about Gaara .. In The Fight against Konahamaru ,Naruto was Disqualified for using 9 tails Transformation.. So Rules have Changed according to what NAruto said so keeping that in mind no tail beast powers can be use as naruto himself was disqualified for that .. And no Kote ..
