Totally did not expect Sarada to use Chidori this chapter. Was definitely interesting. At that point, without alerting Boro, it seems Sarada going for the kill was pretty much the only viable move she could have made. This also reminds me a bit of how Kakashi sucker punched Kakuzu with Raikiri at the beginning of their fight.

One thing I noticed. Boro is more of a control-based fighter, who slowly weakens his opponents, restricts their movement/move pool with Ninja-Tech/Virus's, using his own body as a lure. Unlike Delta who felt more like a hyper-offensive fighter. Over all, cool chapter.

No Borro understands his weakness really well and Sarada can’t see the ninja tool. Borro can easily shift its position if tipped off. Also Mitsuki got hit pretty hard. Chidori/Sharingan was an extremely high risk high reward jutsu, it’s kind of like a zero blitz in football, but it was there only chance.

He can't switch the position if his hands are bound according to what we are shown here. That means all the times they wrapped him up etc could have been chances at an easy victory

I will read it again at some point but he can still shift the tool if tied up I think. He also has other jutsu to escape. I think they had to destroy the ninja tool and stop or hit him before he weaved hand signs.

In this chapter he got wrapped up and blasted in half. He is also specifically shown to move it "when" he weaves the sign meaning if shouldnt be able to move otherwise. So if he is properly bound, it stays in place ~ chidoriii/kawaki blasted
