This article contains spoilers for the Boruto manga.
The Naruto The world has seen the rise and fall of many powerful shinobi over the years. With each passing era, a new generation of shinobi rises, and as is the case with most stories, the new generation surpasses the old. Naruto Uzumaki's generation was the pinnacle of absolute power, and Naruto himself was considered the strongest. With the power he attained at his peak, Naruto was unbeatable by most characters except for Shibai Otsutsuki.
Say goodbye to the Rinnegan, and welcome an even stronger eye to Boruto
The Rinnegan has become obsolete in Boruto. This new eye is very good now.
unfortunately, Naruto's reign as the strongest came to an abrupt endAnd he was finally printed by Kawaki. Naruto is incapacitated to this day, and he is much weaker than his former self. As such, space grows for new strengths Boruto has arisen, and Now the undisputed strongest character is none other than Naruto's own son Boruto Uzumaki.. Boruto has immense power, and although he has never reached the same heights as his father, he is easily the newest strongest in the Naruto world and will hold that title even in 2026.
Naruto was by far the strongest shinobi in the world
-
Naruto received all of the tailed beasts' chakra
-
His strongest power was the Baryon Mode
Naruto Uzumaki carried the strongest curse in history since childhood. He managed to achieve this by controlling his greatest weakness and facing adversity with immense patience. Fans have come to love Naruto for these qualities, and this is what makes him such a phenomenal main character. Naruto's greatest strength was quite easily Kurama. These two could handle any and all threats they faced, and while most fans would be happy to see this as Naruto's pinnacle, the fact that he only got stronger when he unlocked the power of Baryon Mode.
This power is immense. It must be more than him. But the drawbacks are too great. You see, the fact that it drains our lifespan is the key here. As the chakra is connected, the energy emanating from our life piece also drains his life upon contact. That is the power of the Baryon mode. – Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
Using his and Kurama's energy as a kernel, Naruto Uzumaki gave birth to a new form of energy that surpassed even Isshiki Otsutsuki. This is what Naruto and Kurama call Baryon Mode, and it was also the beginning of their downfall, though it granted him great powers. Immediately after the fight against Isshiki, Naruto lost access to Kurama's power and severely weakened. At the same time, Naruto was also sealed by Kawaki towards the end Boruto Part 1, and he's still disabled. This is why Boruto Uzumaki is forced to face the challenge and become the world's new most powerful ninja in 2026.
Boruto Uzumaki is the new strongest shinobi in the Naruto world so far
-
Boruto trained with Sasuke Uchiha
-
Boruto received a jutsu from the future
At this point, it goes without saying Boruto Uzumaki is the strongest new ninja. This is already clear from a few things. During the timeskip, Boruto was trained by Sasuke Uchiha for about a year. During this time, he gained new powers, and according to Sasuke himself, he managed to master the vast majority of Uchiha jutsu that Sasuke knew. Of course, Boruto still had to improve his usage, but the basics were already in him. Kashin Koji later trained Boruto for two years in various jutsu in different timelines that he could access through his prescience ability.
The Boruto Uzumaki that fans see right now is the most perfect version of the character that could ever exist. That is why he is one of the strongest. Boruto's strength is such that he can fight Shinjuu and Kod equally well.
i understand You have no hope for the future. You want to kill me and disappear from this world as soon as possible. Until, you have a chance to gain freedom, that is. These divine beings are a threat to both of us. Will you help me or not? – Boruto Uzumaki to Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Boruto: TBV Chapter 29
If this is not enough, that fact should also be considered Boruto now has access to Momoshiki's Karma. As seen in the most recent chapters of the series, Boruto and Momoshiki made a deal, and Boruto now has access to all of Momoshiki's experience, as well as his powers. This essentially pushed Boruto above the level of the average ninja and helped him easily compete with the gods of the world.
Boruto's power level will increase even more
Boruto Uzumaki already has immense power, and he is the strongest person in history at this time, but his power will continue to grow, and that's a fact. So far, Boruto has only used the first phase of Karma. When the big battles roll around, like the fight against Jura, fans know that Boruto will eventually end up using Karma Stage 2, which will push him to an even higher level of power.
Boruto: A shinobi stronger than Naruto already confirmed by Kishimoto
Naruto Uzumaki is one of the strongest characters in the Naruto and Boruto series. Kishimoto makes the shinobi look stronger than he is.
In fact, his overall power level should also rival Isshiki's, and perhaps even surpass it. It means this Once Boruto unlocks the power of Karma Stage 2, he should be able to rival even Baryon Mode Naruto.And perhaps even surpass him in terms of power. As crazy as it may sound to fans, it's true, and in some ways, very exciting for the future of the series.
Fans hope for Naruto's return to great power
of course, Boruto has already surpassed Naruto UzumakiBut fans also know he will return at some point in the future. While the chances of Naruto gaining superpowers in the Boruto series aren't that great, fans hope that Kishimoto and Ikemoto will bring him justice at some point later.
Naruto getting a power-up is a givenBut of course, whether that power-up will rival Boruto more remains to be seen. Considering that Naruto is the Seventh Hokage of Konoha, fans can expect his return to power to happen soon, as that would be incredibly exciting for the story and also give fans what they've been craving for a long time.
Unfortunately, Naruto's return doesn't seem anywhere close at this point, at least not yet. 2026 will not see Naruto Uzumaki return to manga for good. Perhaps in the next year, Naruto Uzumaki could finally return. But for now, fans shouldn't hold out hope as there is a lot of stuff that needs to be dealt with before the Seventh Hokage's return.
