Boruto: Two Blue Vortexhas given fans one spectacle after another, and above all, what the fans enjoy most is a show of absolute strength by the main characters. It is no surprise to know that Naruto Uzumaki stood tall as the strongest of the main characters in the franchise.
However, recent events have seen to it that he isn’t available on the front lines anymore. That said, fans needn’t worry,as Kishimoto seems to already have showna Shinobi even stronger than Naruto who seems to have risen to protect Konoha in the absence of its Hokage.
Naruto Uzumaki’s Incredible Powers In Boruto
Right from the very beginning of theBorutoseries, fans could clearly see that Naruto Uzumaki was one of the strongest ninjas in the world. When Momoshiki Otsutsuki invaded Konoha, Naruto was there to stop the threat without too much trouble. Later on, when Jigen came, Naruto was beaten, but he hit back against Isshiki Otsutsuki and eventually succeeded in defeating him, all thanks to Baryon Mode.
Come, Otsutsuki! I’ll show you what true resolve is! — Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto Uzumaki reached an incredibly high power level with Baryon Mode,such that even the strongest of the Otsutsuki couldn’t contend with him. However, the price to pay for this was huge and Naruto ended up losing the power of Kurama, making him weaker. Things went from bad to worse when Naruto Uzumaki was sealed by Kawaki, and he remains in captivity to this day. So far, it remains unclear as to when Naruto will return, which means that someone else has to defend Konoha and this person is none other than Boruto Uzumaki.
Why Boruto Uzumaki Will Go Beyond Naruto
Boruto Is Already A Legendary Ninja
Boruto Uzumaki surpassing Naruto Uzumakishouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. In the world that Kishimoto has created, the old generation usually gets upstaged by the new one, and that could very well happen here. While Boruto was strong in his own way right from the beginning, fans didn’t know what heights he would reach.
Was this the only way, Kawaki? — Boruto Uzumaki
InTwo Blue Vortex, however, the answer is clearer than ever before. Boruto Uzumaki is already strong enough to fight the likes of Hitoshinju and beat them in combat. He has proven this on multiple occasions. He can even beat Code, and fight against just about any monstrously powerful threat. Boruto should be stronger than the post-Baryon Mode version of Kurama already.
However, Boruto’s power scaling is a bit wonky, which makes it difficult to ascertainwhether Boruto has surpassed Six Paths Naruto or not. For what it’s worth, Boruto definitely has jutsu that can give him an advantage, but overall, Naruto is still the better ninja.
However, what fans know clearly is that Boruto Uzumaki isn’t the complete package yet. Boruto still had the Karma to master, and fans know from the prologue that he will go on to master it. When Boruto reaches that level, he will, undoubtedly, have surpassed Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke. However, whether Boruto can surpassNaruto’s peak of Baryon Modestill remains to be seen. Only time can tell how far Boruto will go, but, Konoha has definitely found a ninja that can protect them in the absence of Naruto Uzumaki.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22 is set for its official release on June 19, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on theManga Plusand the Shonen Jump apps.
