Guys there is a reason why did naruto hold back in this fight. In this place there is boruto, kawaki and espacially himawari. He cant use his Full power cause his Full power is destructive and maybe the children will die. Naruto is a fighting beast and he has a high Battle iq
Not just that, he wanted to keep Delta alive, to capture her for interrogation. He even said right after, that he was struggling to fight her in a way that didn't kill her. I repeat, he was struggling to fight in a way to DIDN'T KILL HER! He had to nerf himself so much, and he was still struggling to hold back, if he used just a bit more of his power, Delta would have died. He also allowed her to think she had a chance, just so he could gather some intel throughout the battle, just in case (that's why got stabbed in the gut, he allowed her to hit him, to make her think she had the upper hand and try to make her open her mouth too much, but Delta saw through it right after). The only moment Delta was really a threat was when she threatened Himawari.
