This article contains spoilers for the Naruto series.
When it comes to the powerful ninjas that exist in the world of Naruto, fans know that Seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki reigns supreme at the very top. Naruto is the protagonist of the original series, and his journey from being a weak person to overcoming all his weaknesses and becoming strong is truly admirable. By the end of the Naruto series, Naruto Uzumaki is clearly one of the strongest in the entire world, with a handful of divine beings like Kaguya and Hagoromo Otsutsuki above him.
Boruto: The Best Fights in Anime, Ranked
The Boruto series is filled with thrilling battles and exciting fights. Here's a look at some of the best in anime.
When it comes to the shinobi type, Naruto is quite clearly strongerSasuke being his only rival, but still inferior to him. Years later, Naruto became the seventh Hokage of the village, and by this time, he was at the peak of his power. It was reprehensible to fans to even speculate that a single ninja could even come close to replacing him in terms of power. But, as things have developed Boruto series, The Seventh Hokage has been surpassed by manyAnd based on Kishimoto's own storytelling, it's pretty clear that a handful of ninja are actually above this level of power.
In the Boruto series, Naruto Uzumaki lost all of his powers
-
Naruto lost his powers after Kurama's death
-
His six path powers are no longer accessible
Simply put, Naruto Uzumaki was never surpassed by any ninja that only came and reached a level even higher than Six Paths Sage Mode or Baryon Mode.. It is impossible for anyone to get through this shinobi type. The writers of the series realized this too, and that's why they went about it in a completely different way. Instead of giving the other ninjas massive power-ups and making them stronger than Naruto Boruto series, They decided not to return Naruto instead.
The biggest loss for Naruto came in the battle against Isshiki. It was during this battle that Naruto used a new power called Baryon Mode, which gave him enough power to defeat this mighty Otsutsuki. However, this power came at a great price, and that was Kurama's life.
Be good, Naruto. And don't try to follow me too soon. – Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
After the end of the war, Kurama died, and Naruto became very weak than before. It seems that his relationship with the other tailed beasts is also severed immediately after the Tailed Beast's death, and even though he received the Six Paths powers from the Sage of the Six Paths, which should have stood despite his relationship with the Tailed Beast, he seems to have lost those powers as well.
After this great loss of power, Naruto Uzumaki, though still the Seventh Hokage, was left weaker than ever. As such, it became very easy for other ninjas to surpass him in terms of strength, and when it comes to the legendary ones, it is quite clear to see that some of them are now stronger than him.
Right now, Hashirama Senju might be stronger than Naruto Uzumaki
-
Hashirama has a powerful Sage Mode and Wood Release
-
His overall strength may be higher than Naruto's
When it comes to the legendary ninja of the world, it's pretty clear that Hashirama Senju will be stronger than Naruto right now. for one, Hashirama is a member of the Senju clanAnd his life force is on a completely different level than Naruto's. Naruto's life force was greatly enhanced by the fact that he held Kurama's chakra in his body.. Now that he's lost Kurama's power, Naruto probably has less chakra than HashiramaAnd this is authentically supported by the Fourth Great Ninja War, where Hashirama was said to have greater chakra than Naruto while in Kurama.
The First Hokage was a legendary ninja known as the God of Shinobi. – Iruka Umino in Hashirama Senju
On top of that, Hashirama Senju has access to the most coveted Kekki Genkai, Wood Release. Wood Release made him incredibly powerful, allowing him to control terrain, as well as subdue the likes of Tailed Beasts. This allowed him to subdue the Ten-Tails to a certain degree during the Fourth Great Ninja War, and that was when he was not at full power. Naruto Uzumaki has no such Kekai Genkai, and the only one he has access to is his Sage Mode.
Naruto's sage mode paled in comparison to Hashirama's
Of course, it can be said that both Naruto and Hashirama's greatest power is sage modeNot paying attention to Kuram's power. but, Hashirama's sage mode is probably superior to Naruto's. The fact is that Hashirama immediately enters sage mode, and it lasts for a long time in his case. While Naruto also enters it immediately, especially now, as an adult, he still needs to use the shadow clone to maintain it for long periods of time.
More than that, fans know it for a fact Hashirama's sage mode directly complements his wood releaseAnd he is able to create new jutsus like the Shinshusenju, the likes of which can easily dwarf entire cities.
Naruto: Kishimoto officially confirms characters more powerful than the God of Shinobi
Hashirama, the god of shinobi, is powerful. However these Naruto characters surpass him.
As for Naruto, He can buff himself well with Sage Mode alone, but he doesn't have a Kekki Genkai like Hashirama that can be boosted to sky-high levels.. What's even crazier is that Hashirama's life force level was so high that he practically regenerated from all the injuries he received without making handprints. This actually made Hashirama a special ninja.
Naruto, on the other hand, could heal thanks to Kurama's chakra, but now that Kurama is no longer available to him, he cannot recover from any fatal injuries he receives. At this particular point in the story, it's pretty clear that Naruto is no longer the strongest Hokage, and Hashirama Senju will stand above him.
Naruto is in desperate need of a new power up
It's pretty obvious for fans to see Naruto Uzumaki is in dire need of new power-ups if his legacy is to be preserved in the Boruto series.. The fact that the other Hokage are now stronger than him is truly insulting, especially since Naruto earned his powers fair and square and actually went through countless hardships to achieve them.
The Boruto series needs to bring back Naruto Uzumaki as soon as possible. When this happens, it is necessary to ensure that Naruto has powers worthy of his stature and that he is made one of the strongest. Unfortunately, the damage done by Boruto cannot be undone, but it can do better when dealing with old legends of the Naruto world like Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
