Boruto: Two Blue Vortexfansare eagerly waiting for Naruto Uzumaki’s returnto the story and fans know that it’ll happen at some point. Naruto Uzumaki, the most popular character in the entire franchise, was sealed away by Kawaki at the end of Part 1 of the story.
Since then, Naruto has stayed in Daikokuten, and fans have no idea how long it’ll take for him to return. But, a return for Naruto Uzumaki is inevitable and it goes without saying that he will still be quite powerful when he does return. That said, few fans realize that Naruto will be far stronger when he does officially come back.
Naruto Uzumaki’s Power Level Before He Was Sealed Away
Naruto Uzumaki was quite active in the story during the initial parts, and fans know that from his battles against the likes of Momoshiki and Isshiki. Naruto enjoyed his fair share of intense action in the story during the beginning parts, even going as far as beating some very strong characters. However, eventually, the author hit the breaks for his growth and stripped him of all his powers, something that enrages fans to this day. Naruto Uzumaki had the power of Kurama taken away from him, and he was weakened severely after.
Come, Otsutsuki! I’ll show you what true resolve is. — Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto went from being strong enough to match Momoshiki Otsutsuki despite being nerfed and completelyoverwhelming Isshiki Otsutsuki with Baryon Mode, to not even being able to do anything against an enemy like Code. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Naruto Uzumaki will be weak when he comes back.
Why Naruto Will Be Far Stronger After His Return
Boruto Powerscaling Makes Little Sense
When it comes to Naruto Uzumaki’s strength after his return, fans should definitely expect him to be far stronger than what they saw after he lost Kurama. Even if Naruto Uzumaki doesn’t get any power-ups in theBorutoseries, he should still be very powerful after his return due to a simple reason: The Powerscaling inBoruto. It is no surprise to know that the power scaling in this story makes very little sense, and the recent events go on to prove that. Fans were told recently that the Hitoshinju are strong enough to destroy the world, yet, all it takes to beat them isa single strike even from someone like Konohamaru. They’re deemed to be a bigger threat than Kara Inners, which even Naruto had to push himself against.
I will send you to the same place I sent Lord Seventh, Boruto. — Kawaki
Sasuke Vs Code Is The Proof
Furthermore, Sasuke’s sudden growth spurt during the timeskip is yet another proof of the fact that Naruto will be stronger when he comes back. Even though Sasuke and Naruto struggled for their lives against Jigen, when the former met Code during the timeskip, who had his limiters removed and was thus far stronger than Jigen, Sasuke had him on the back foot. This was even after Code had an army of Claw Grimes, and on top of that, Sasuke was handicappeddue to having to protect Boruto Uzumaki. Sasuke took Code’s eye and had the upper hand in the battle, before ultimately falling to the Claw Crimes and being turned into a tree.
The fact thatSasuke, even with his Rinnegan, wasn’t able to even scratch Jigen, but without his Rinnegan was able to overpower someone fat stronger is solid proof that power levels make little sense here. When Naruto Uzumaki does return, he will be portrayed as equal to Sasuke, and fans know that as Hokage, Naruto will have a level to maintain. Hopefully, the image of the Seventh Hokage will not be tarnished anymore.
