Naruto Uzumaki is one of the strongest ninja ever in the Naruto series. Although he began his journey as a weak ninja, Naruto continued to surpass all limits and became the strongest ninja at the end of the original story. Even in Boruto series, Naruto Uzumaki is incredibly powerful, and he has even reached newer heights of power with abilities like Baryon Mode.
Boruto: 7 Strongest New Jutsu in Two Blue Vortexes
These new powerful jutsus in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex are not to be underestimated.
However, Naruto Uzumaki has become drastically nervous lately Boruto series. Many other shinobi have had the opportunity to surpass him, and not just one, but four new ninjas have so far managed to leave him in the dust. This may be shocking for fans to hear, but Naruto's handling, as of late, has not been good in the Boruto series, which is why many characters have pulled ahead of him.
Sasuke Uchiha
-
Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyo Sharingan
-
Special Ability: Amaterasu/Kagutsuchi
Sasuke Uchiha is Naruto's greatest rival and also his best friend. Fans know very well that Sasuke is incredibly powerful, and Kishimoto has always claimed that these two were equal in strength. In fact, at the beginning of the Boruto series, both Naruto and Sasuke were equal in power. Then Naruto went on to surpass Sasuke when he unlocked Beryon Mode, and right after that both lost their greatest powers. Naruto lost access to Kurama, while Sasuke lost his Rinnegan.
At this point, it could be assumed that both were evenly matched. However, after Naruto was sealed by Kawaki, Sasuke was out in the wild training his abilities to fight Otsutsuki. Sasuke trained Borutobut the Boruto guidebook also confirms that Sasuke trained himself as well.
The results of these trainings were immediately apparent in the Two Blue Vortex. At this point in the story, Sasuke Uchiha became strong enough to rival Codewho had several Claw Grimes by his side. Sasuke even took one of Code's eyes, which is very impressive, considering Code was supposed to be stronger than Jigen at this point.
Sasuke couldn't even touch Jigen, not even with his Rinnegan before. Considering Naruto failed to train during this time and Sasuke clearly did, he was definitely stronger than Naruto Uzumaki.
Kawaki
-
Kekkei Genkai: The Kokugan
-
Special Ability: Daikokuten, Sukunahikona
Kawaki is one of the most important characters in the Boruto series and it goes without saying that he is also one of the strongest. Kawaki gained immense power after Isshiki's death. This is because Kawaki had Karma reinstated on his body, thanks to the help of Amado. This karma did not allow Isshiki to stay in his body. Instead, this power exists solely for Kawaki's sake.
Over the years, he has trained this power extremely well. After the time jump in the Boruto series, Kawaki has a fully matured Kokugan. At the same time, his abilities as an Otsutsuki user have reached sky high levels. Right now, Kawaki should be close to Isshiki Otsutsuki in terms of power, and that makes him incredibly impressive.
That Kawaki is stronger than Naruto Uzumaki at this point in the story shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, especially after Naruto lost the power of Kurama.
Boruto Uzumaki
-
Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan
-
Special Ability: Karma, Rasengan: Uzuhiko
Just like Kawaki, Boruto Uzumaki has also gained immense strength during his journey in the story. While Boruto didn't have much power to begin with, Momoshiki made him his vessel and this was the beginning of a very arduous run for him. Boruto Uzumaki ended up awakening immense power thanks to his karma.
More than that, Boruto also trained with Sasuke Uchiha for a year and learned all the special jutsu that Sasuke knew. Then he met Kashin Koji who helped him get his best abilities across multiple timelines through his Prescience ability. Arguably, the current Boruto that exists is the best version of this character across all possible timelines.
Boruto: 8 Characters Himawari Uzumaki Will Surpass
Himawari will be one of Boruto's strongest characters. She will surpass these legendary ninjas.
Even without his karma, Boruto could easily beat Code in battle. He could even compete with Shinju and that is very impressive indeed. When he unleashed the full force of his karma, as he did recently, Boruto is so strong that he can even stand up to the likes of Jigen and possibly even Otsutsuki.
It may be hard for some fans to admit, but right now Boruto is much stronger than Naruto Uzumaki. Of course, this doesn't mean that Boruto has surpassed Naruto's peak, but the current Naruto would definitely lose to him.
What's even crazier is that Boruto Uzumaki is nowhere near his full potential at this point. He still has another degree of Karma to unlock, and fans know his strength will only rise from here on out. By the end of the Boruto series, it's entirely possible that Boruto would have surpassed even Baryon Mode Naruto, which is scary to imagine. He is full of potential, and rightfully so.
Sarada Uchiha
-
Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyo Sharingan
-
Special Ability: Ohirume
Another next generation ninja who has surpassed Naruto Uzumaki is none other than Sasuke's very own daughter, Sarada Uchiha. Fans know that Sarada has tremendous visual prowess. She had mastered the power of the Sharingan after the two year time jumpbut recently she took her look to the next level.
Sarada finally unleashed the power of her Mangekyo Sharingan recently. When she did, she awakened a skill that takes her beyond Naruto's power level. Sarada's Mangekyo Sharingan ability is called Ohirume. This ability is incredibly powerful as it allows her to control the force of infinite gravity with her black holes.
Sarada can create up to four black holes, and the bigger they are, the stronger the gravitational pull. Their gravity is so strong that even someone as strong as Shinju, confirmed to be above the level of the code, was absolutely obliterated in an instant.
This is just one of Sarada's Mangekyo Sharingan abilities. It's very likely that Sarada will go on to awaken another one of these powers, and fans certainly can't forget about her Susanoo.
Naruto is strong, but he has yet to prove that he can fight at such a high level without Kurama by his side. Sarada will only continue to get stronger, and she may even gain even stronger eyes in the future Boruto series. Her character is one to watch out for, and considering she is set to become the next Hokage of Konoha, it would be fitting for her to surpass Naruto by the end of the series.
