This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
Naruto Uzumaki is one of the main characters in the Naruto franchise and fans know he is also one of the most iconic anime characters of all time. This is precisely why his treatment in Boruto has hurt fans as much as it has. As fans know, Naruto Uzumaki had Kurama's powers were taken from him during the battle against Isshiki. Shortly thereafter, he was sealed by Kawaki, his own adopted son, and he has not returned to history since.
Say goodbye to Naruto Uzumaki and welcome the new strongest character in Boruto
Naruto Uzumaki is powerful, but there is a stronger ninja in Boruto now.
Eventually, though Naruto will returnand when that happens, fans want to see him with a new power because he's lost his biggest source of energy. Oddly enough, this power-up of Naruto Uzumaki has actually already been revealed in the story 8 years ago and it was right under the fans' noses.

Naruto used a new hand in Boruto chapter 18
-
Naruto could absorb all Ninjutsu with it
Most fans of Naruto have been wondering what power he will get. Although there are very exciting ideas, such as Naruto reuniting with the other Tailed Beasts and receiving chakra from them, and even becoming a new Jinchuriki laterthe most probable force which he will get is a Scientific Ninja Tool.
This was last confirmed in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 28. In this chapter fans saw Sasuke Uchiha's sword is upgraded to a Scientific Ninja Tool by Sumire. The sword was made stronger and sharper than ever before, and there are still special abilities it holds that fans haven't even been introduced to.
Boruto, science is not meant to replace shinobi. It is meant to help shinobi, especially those who need it. —Naruto Uzumaki
If Sasuke got a Scientific Ninja Tool weapon, then it puts it beyond doubt that Naruto Uzumaki will get a Scientific Ninja Tool of his own when he returns. Interestingly, this power was shown to fans immediately after the events of the Momoshiki arc.
Fans saw him get a new prosthetic hand with the power to absorb ninjutsu, but then it was said that this prosthetic hand was incomplete. Now it is most likely finished.
Naruto will get an upgraded hand
Naruto Uzumaki's prosthetic hand allowed him to absorb all forms of chakra, similar to what Momoshiki did with his Rinnegan. However, while Momoshiki was able to use that chakra and expel it, Naruto's hand ninja tool had not developed the ability to do so at the time. Since then, three years have passed and it is very likely that this ninja tool has been greatly upgraded since then.
After 10 years, Sasuke Uchiha finally unlocks a new power in Boruto
Sasuke gains a great power when he returns to the Boruto series.
Once Naruto returns, the chances of him getting this new prosthetic hand with the ability to absorb and expel chakra, or even add it to Naruto's own pool, are very high.
Naruto's next Power Up will be a scientific ninja tool
At this point, one of the Naruto's next power-ups is this Scientific Ninja Tool hand is a given. He will definitely get this power to absorb the chakra and even expel it. But that's really not all.
This power is enormous. It should definitely surpass his. But the disadvantages are too great. You see, the fact that it drains our lifespan is the key here. Since the chakra is connected, the power coming from parts of our lives also shaves off his life on contact. That is the power of Baryon Mode. — Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
Just like Sasuke's sword had several mechanics inside which will give him unique powers once he returns, Naruto's hand must have more to it as well. Naruto Uzumaki has lost the power of Kurama and there must be a proper replacement for it.
In that sense, the new ninja tool should greatly increase its strength beyond anything else it offers. Perhaps a new power similar to a chakra cloak created from the absorbed chakra, or enhanced offensive and defensive abilities would also be added to it. Regardless, Naruto will be stronger when he returns.
