Considering she didn't even seem to use it, my guess is she was about to use the Sharingan for a genjutsu. While she was somewhat reckless, it's not like she was in any real danger.

Could this be a side-effect of her Sharingan, as she had the speed (and with Sharingan, the insight) to easily disarm and stop her enemy? Basically, it's making her more reckless than she needs to be due to the asymmetry in knowledge and power it gives?

EDIT:

I forgot to mention, but it's funny that;

-Sasuke was in fact able to see what was going on.

-Boruto told Sasuke but not Naruto. It's funny that he trusts essentially a total stranger more than his father. Though the Boruto movie plot resolved the bigger issues, it's interesting that his disconnection with his father continues

-Boruto is (in interesting contrast to young Sasuke) hesitant and on guard about the Mark. He's not looking for greater power (despite it being his source of obsession in the Movie).

-The Bodyguard Plot is pretty well-known and pretty cliché, but it's really interesting that this gets lampshaded: Boruto straight up says foresees that it won't go well and Konohameru acknowledges this and tells Boruto that dealing with shitty costumers is part of the job. By far one of the most self-aware Bodyguard plots i've ever seen.

-The inclusion of the Daimyo and the ninja card plot seem minor, but it hints at a return to politics as a driving force in the Naruto world. This was mostly dropped in Part II but the political state of the world was a big deal in Part I. It also shows an interesting reaction in-universe to what we as an audience know. The ironic part of Boruto getting a super-rare card, but it's his father is also a nice hat-tip to the movie and it's themes (Being son of the Hokage puts him in a special place that he doesn't appreciate)
