Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes The ranks of the strongest shinobi have seen quite a few changes over the years, and Konoha has seen some major shake-ups as well. Naruto Uzumaki, who was once the strongest in the village, is no longer with him, and in his absence, Rock Lee is now the strongest ninja. Currently in the village, Rock Lee's powers are immense, and even though he hasn't shown it in the story yet, he reigns supreme as Konoha's most powerful and most useful ninja. Hopefully, the future arcs Boruto He will be given a bigger role.
7 Naruto Uzumaki's jutsu that can kill Otsutsuki, ranked
Naruto Uzumaki has many powerful abilities, and some of them can even kill Otsutsuki.
Kurama's defeat of the Seventh Hokage left behind a power vacuum
By the time Naruto ruled as Hokage, it was clear that he was the strongest, with Kurama and the Six Paths on his side. Naruto was practically undefeated in battle, and no one needed to bring the power of Baryon Mode, which surpassed even Isshiki. However, Naruto's loss of Kurama's power ensured a major shift in the power standings in the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto and Sasuke weren't as strong as they once were. What's more, Naruto Uzumaki was sealed by Kawaki, while Sasuke left the village to be turned into a tree by the code.
In present-day Konoha, the younger generation is certainly stronger, and both Kawaki and Sarada can be broadly called powerful ninja, but they both come with their own weaknesses. Sarada can't use her powers very often, and Kawaki heats up very quickly in battle, while Boruto is evil. This meant that the power void left by Naruto Uzumaki was filled not only by Rock Lee, Konoha's strongest taijutsu expert.

Qin Li is the new strongman of Hidden Leaf Village
Rock Lee is the strongest in Konoha Shouldn't come as a surprise to any fans. After all, he is a skilled Jonin who has gained complete control of the Eight Inner Gates technique. With the power of Gates, Lee can challenge even the most dangerous enemies. It should be noted that even with the Seventh Gate, the boy was able to push Madara onto his hind legs, and with the power of the Eighth Gate he was able to deal fatal damage to the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, killing him in battle. Lee is now at the same power, so he is now the strongest in the village.
How his student crossed the mite boy after the war
When it comes to the strongest taijutsu users in Konoha's history, Rock Lee is actually at the very top. After the events of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Lee is said to have surpassed Might Gai as well. Fans have already seen how powerful the boy was in battle, and for Lee to surpass him, especially after mastering all eight Inner Gates, it meant that he was at an even higher level now.

All of these things combined mean that Rock Lee is Konoha's newest strongman in Naruto Uzumaki's absence. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear in the story any time soon, and this has left fans very disappointed.

Tajutsu master's current power level rating
When it comes to Rock Lee's overall power level, it's pretty clear that he's an absolute disaster. With the power of the eight inner gates, especially the eight gates of death, Lee is practically unstoppable in battle. Considering the boy was able to keep up with Ten-Tails Madara and even push him to the brink of death in battle, Lee could do even greater things because he was stronger.
Rock Lee should be able to take on the likes of Otsutsuki and even defeat them in battle if he were to use the power of the Eight Gates. Even with the Seventh Gate, Lee should be able to destroy the vast majority of Shinju in battle. In fact this is what makes it all the more confusing that she is not an active part of the story. He is one of Konoha's strongest and should lead from the front, especially when the younger generation has their lives on the line.
However, for some reason, Rock Lee is not written into the story. Hopefully, future arcs of Boruto will address this major issue with the story, because otherwise, the inconsistencies will be too much for fans to ignore.
