His entrance against the Claw Grime in the forest is a statement. He doesn't use Rasengan. He doesn't yell. He simply moves. Using the —Minato’s technique—he teleports instantaneously, slicing through the Grime with a chakra blade. This is genius: Boruto has inherited his grandfather’s speed, his father’s raw power, and his master’s swordsmanship. He is a hybrid of the three greatest shinobi of the last era.
