^I'm sure we did.

What you're completely forgetting (or choosing to ignore) is that Shojoji is supposed to be a leader of a dangerous criminal organisation that managed to get close to the Fire Daimyo (who is technically supposed to be under the protection of 12 Guardian Ninja), and even Naruto was concerned when it came to Shojoji.

I expected Boruto to struggle a tad bit more, maybe even be overpowered until Sarada and Mitsuki came by. I'm not complaining, mind you, it was still well done, but the fact of the matter is is that Boruto was way above Genin level (not that rankings matter to the Uzumaki men anyways xD, but it makes you wonder: If Boruto was this strong the entire time, why did he need to cheat during the Chūnin Exams?)
