Considering the guy had shown to use ninja tech and had a body filled with traps, no. It was too risky.

But for someone aspiring to be Hokage Konohamaru should've been able to take that risk. Also, I don't think Ao could've anticipated konohamaru's attack on his hand since his whole body was still inside the rubble. Also, if konohamaru was so unsure of Ao's tricks he could've used a long range attack just to be on the safe side. It would've been better to damage Ao at least a little before escaping than just escaping.

I really think they kinda nerfed team 7 to give Ao unfair advantage. To be fair, the important thing, as they mentioned was to bring the info collected back to the leaf. It is not, in any way, smart to underestimate your opponent. Especially when you don't know much about his abilitis.

And if Ao still has his byakugan. Then he can definently see outside the rocks he was in.

Striking with a long range or close range attack that has enough power to destroy a robotic hand might clear up some of the ruble, Ao's being held with. Like I mean, there's no guarantee that Ao's robotic hand will be destroyed by a rasengan since he's still getting up after that attack, which led him under rocks. But there is the fact that it will help Ao to escape out of the rocks faster, since the rasengan will destroy or clear up the rocks around his hand.

And like I said before, bringing info back to the village is more important than killing an enemy. The leaf already has overpowered beings(Naruto, Sasuke) so it's not like Ao will just return to the leaf village and be able to pose a threat. So the important thing was to reach the village, and bring the info. Ao in any case, can not be close to Naruto's range. And so it is more smarter to do the mission and not try to be the hero, especially when it's unnecessary.

Now I want to point out something. When Boruto mentioned Ao already knew that that tech could be used in too different ways. And that he's still using it in an evil way. I really feel like there's something.. Missing in this.

In my personal opinion, Ao could be a double agent. Yes, he has his evil smirk, and his mercenery style of killing the good guys. But we already know someone who was the same case. Itachi.

I feel like Ao could either be a double agent for Naruto or he just became a double agent without anyone's orders to try to svae the world. I mean, suddenly he joined/has connection with this mysterious group and their secret mission to retrieve this mysterious 'vessel'. And Ao orginally being a good guy turns out to be a psychopathic killer( or something like that) with connection to this group, called Kara.

The reason I think of this, is because Naruto can sense negative emotions. And he was actively doing it during the war. He did not sense anything wrong while Ao was at war, nor at anytime after it. Maybe it's because he doesn't have negative emotions and that his intentions are positive even with his flawed actions.

That, or he may just be the usual generic bad guy mercenery.

These are just my own honest opinions though.
