I'm not entirely sure about this, mostly due to the fact that the upcoming Boruto movie seemingly disproves this or at least shows that it's no longer an issue, but Naruto MIGHT'VE (I'm not 100% sure about this) gotten a bit rusty in his abilities during his tenure as Hokage up until the events of the 1 volume sequel. I'm not entirely sure about that but I do think having him as he was during The Last: Naruto the Movie would've been the safer bet.

I'd have to look back at the info to be sure about this. to be fair...
