This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
The Boruto the series takes place many years after the conclusion of the Fourth Great Ninja War. Fans know very well that the main character in Boruto series is Boruto Uzumaki, and that he is the focus is now on the next generation of ninjas. But that certainly doesn't mean that the old generation of ninjas won't be central to the plot Boruto. This is especially true for Naruto and Sasuke.
In fact, most fans invested in Boruto come from Naruto and want to follow the journey of their favorite characters. That's exactly why it was very disappointing for them to know that their favorite characters were hugely nervous in Boruto. Both Naruto and Sasuke lost a huge amount of power and were then incapacitated. But now it seems their next powers after their return in Boruto have been confirmed.

Naruto was able to use his new prosthetic hand again
-
Sasuke Uchiha has a new ninja sword
Both Naruto and Sasuke lost their greatest powers in the Boruto series. Naruto Uzumaki lost the power of Kurama in the battle against Isshiki. When Kurama died, Naruto Uzumaki could no longer access the almost infinite pool of chakra that he had, and his connection to other tailed beasts was probably broken as well.
I understand that. You have no hope for a future. You just want to kill me and just disappear from this world as soon as possible. Unless you have a chance at freedom, that is. These divine beings are a threat to both of us. Will you help me or not? — Boruto Uzumaki to Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Boruto: TBV Chapter 29
Similar, Sasuke Uchiha lost the power of his Rinnegan in the Boruto seriesand all he has left now is the Mangekyo Sharingan. Shortly after their fall from grace, both were incapacitated. Naruto was sealed by Kawaki, while Sasuke was turned into a tree.
While both Naruto and Sasuke were disgraced in Boruto, fans know full well that they will eventually return, and it seems that their next power-ups have already been set up in the form of scientific ninja tools.
Sasuke already has a scientific ninja tool sword
Sasuke having a new sword was confirmed in Boruto chapter 28where it was officially revealed that Sasuke's sword has now been transformed into a scientific ninja tool to greatly enhance its performance. The sword is stronger than ever before and has great power that should boost Sasuke's skill to the next level.
The material of the blade is still the same, just treated…and its shape changed for maximum strength and cutting ability. The guard is unchanged, but the rest is almost completely changed. That's not all, the blade is now set to automatically maintain your Uchiha Blade Jutsu Hagoromo on its own, once you grab the handle and activate the Jutsu. One more thing, a certain special material has also been composed into the sword. It is much more powerful than before now. Yours and Sasuke's chakra is already registered with it, as is mine, as I'm working on it. — Sumire on Boruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's new sword
Since Sasuke was given a scientific ninja tool, it is highly likely that Naruto will also get his own version of a scientific ninja toolwhich will most likely come in the form of a prosthetic hand.
Naruto will likely get a new prosthetic hand
After the Momoshiki arc in Boruto, it was revealed to fans that Naruto tested a new prosthetic hand which allowed him to absorb the chakra. This was still a prototype at the time, but it's been 3 years and it's very likely that it's now vastly improved.
If Sasuke gets a scientific ninja tool sword when he returns to Boruto, it makes sense too Naruto gets a new hand. Together, Naruto and Sasuke will get new ninja tools in Boruto, and it will push them to the next level.
Of course, ninja tools alone are not enough and they will still need to get additional powers. It is very likely that Naruto Uzumaki will improve his Sage Mode or possibly even establish a connection with other Tailed Beasts. Likewise, Sasuke has his Mangekyo Sharingan, and maybe he'll figure out a way to enhance it further.
