This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
Boruto has been on quite a sensational run of late, and with the start of a new arc, Kishimoto has properly introduced fans to some very exciting villains. As fans know, the focus of the story at this point is none other than Mamushi. He is one of the Shinju that wants to further evolve by consuming specific targets. With Mamushi is the main villain of the arcit's a given that his abilities are focused on, and it's abundantly clear that he's incredibly overpowered.
Boruto: A Shinobi stronger than even Naruto is already confirmed by Kishimoto
Naruto Uzumaki is one of the strongest characters in the Naruto and Boruto series. Kishimoto reveals a Shinobi even stronger than him.
In fact, both Kishimoto and Ikemoto have now confirmed it Mamushi's strength is such that it surpasses the power level of Naruto Uzumaki. If he continues to develop, he will clearly be the strongest character in the whole Naruto franchise, and it's truly terrifying to imagine.
Kishimoto confirms that Mamushi is stronger than Naruto
Naruto Uzumaki had godlike levels of strength by the end of Naruto series, and even at the beginning of Boruto series. With the power of Kurama and the abilities of the Six Paths, he was nearly unbeatable in battle. But Naruto is not the same person anymore. He has lost all these powers and where sealed by Kawaki. On the other hand, Mamushi keeps growing stronger. Mamushi has an ability similar to Naruto Uzumaki.
Mamushi's ability is simple, but it is very powerful. You have to be careful how you deal with him. — Kashin Koji to Shikamaru
Just like Naruto had the power of Shadow Clones, Mamushi can split himself. But in his case, all the clones are actually real and don't even share the chakra levels or power levels of his body. This makes his technique much better than Naruto's. The only downside to his power is that the more he splits, the dumber he becomes.
Mamushi has a dangerous ability. He can reproduce as much as he wants, and each copy is the real deal, not like Shadow Clones. – Kashin Koji
Aside from that, based on the future that Kashin Koji saw, it is quite clear that Mamushi continues to consume its target, Eida, and this is a big deal. If Mamushi continues to consume her, it means he will win The forces of omnipotencewhich is the most powerful Shinjutsu of all. With this power, he can basically do whatever he wants, especially if he learns to control it. This puts him in principle beyond the power level of even Boruto and Kawakilet alone Naruto.
Mamushi can evolve and destroy the world
For Mamushi to get hold of Eida means getting the most dangerous ability throughout the world and be strong enough to destroy the planet itself. He might even be stronger than Jura if that's the case. Currently, fans don't know if he will actually be able to consume Eida or not, given that the future itself can change. But the path the story is heading into is a very dangerous one.
Masashi Kishimoto reveals the new strongest jutsu in Boruto
Boruto has many overwhelmed Jutsu, and a new one has just been revealed.
Let's try to change the future and create a world where Eida and Himawari don't have to die. — Kashin Koji to Inojin
Mamushi is not comparable to Jura right now
That Mamushi is stronger than Naruto shouldn't come as a surprise to any fan. Even without Eida's powers, all Shinju are confirmed to be stronger than Codewho himself is stronger than Jigen, who beat both Naruto and Sasuke at once. It shouldn't be a surprise to fans to see Mamushi in his base form being stronger than Naruto. But if he manages to develop, he will become a truly massive threat.
It's a bad habit, but fighting strong opponents like you makes my heart dance with joy. – Jura to Boruto
In her current form, Mamushi isn't strong enough to even hold a candle to Jura, the strongest of the Shinju. Of course, that could change a lot as the story continues, but for now, Jura remains the strongest character in life in the series, and it will be interesting to see how Kishimoto handles him.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29 is set for its official release on December 18, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10:00 AM EST/3:00 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
