This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
The Sage of Six Paths is known to be one of the most legendary figures in the world Naruto. He was properly introduced to fans in the original series, and his strength proved to be absolutely legendary. Born with the power of the fabled Rinnegan, the Sage of the Six Paths possessed divine powerswhich could not compete with many. In fact, his overall strength could even be said to rival that of Kaguya Otsutsuki, and some would argue even higher than hers. The Sage of Six Paths had such powers that he was considered a Godand it was through him that kind of Shinobi came into existence in the first place.
Boruto: Kishimoto has already confirmed the strongest Jinchuriki, and it's not Naruto
Naruto is a strong Jinchuriki, but he is not the strongest in Naruto.
While he was indeed outnumbered, stepped in Boruto has undergone enormous changes. Powerful individuals have appeared and some of them are even on the level of the Sage of Six Paths, while others have even surpassed him. The latest ninja to have managed to achieve this feat is none other than Naruto Uzumaki himself. At the moment there is only one ninja inside Naruto has managed to surpass the level of the Sage of Six Paths, and it is the beloved Seventh Hokage, who did so after achieving the power of the Baryon Mode.
The Sage of Six Paths was the strongest in Naruto
-
Held The Power Of The Rinnegan
-
Had access to the creation of all things
When it comes to the incredible strength of the Sage of Six Paths, fans know it he was born with the powers of Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya was a very powerful Otsutsuki on about the same level as Isshikipossibly only slightly weaker. But she went on to consume the chakra fruit on planet Earth, and this gave her even more immense powers. She eventually gave birth to Hagoromo and Hamura, and it was Hagoromo who inherited the immense power of the Rinnegan.
This place… this earth is my precious nursery. I can't allow you to hurt it anymore. Here I am going to erase you all from existence right now. All chakras belong to me! Again all chakras should become one. Hagoromo, Hamura. You betrayed me. I will regain my chakra. — Kaguya Otsutsuki, Naruto
Eventually, both Hagoromo and Hamura combined their powers to defeat Kaguya. However, it was only after this point that Hagoromo became the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails, giving him even greater strength. Hagoromo's strength was such that his Rinnegan was actually classified as a Kekkei Mora instead of being a Kekkei Genkai. This shows that his powers were special. In addition to having the divine powers of the Rinnegan and the abilities of the Ten Tails, Hagoromo also had the power to create everythingwhich allowed him to essentially create life as a true god.
His full strength was absolutely magnificent, but the fans have a special point to scale him. Even at his best, Hagoromo couldn't defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki on his own. He openly admitted that Kaguya was stronger than him, which is why he required Hamura's help to beat her. At the same time, it must also be remembered that even if Hagoromo gained a Ten-Tails booster on top, his powers would absolutely not surpass Isshiki Otsutsuki's.
Yet it is undeniably so Hagoromo Otsutsuki, or the Sage of Six Paths, was the strongest character in the entire Naruto serieswith powers far surpassing Madara's and even Naruto and Sasuke combined.
Naruto Uzumaki has surpassed the Sage of Six Paths with Baryon Mode
-
Baryon Mode far surpassed Isshiki Otsutsuki
-
Baryon mode was a temporary startup
In it Boruto series, one particular character has surpassed the levels of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and that is none other than Naruto Uzumaki. This may seem bizarre to fans at first, but it is quite easy to understand how this came to be the case. As mentioned before, Hagoromo was still weaker than Kaguya Otsutsuki when the two fought.
He became the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails after, which would have given him a significant boost and possibly made him stronger than Kaguya, but he would still be weaker than Isshiki, who was also said to be significantly stronger than Kaguya.
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's the power of Baryon Mode. — Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
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.
Once Naruto harnessed the power of Baryon Mode, that is the ability to use his own as well as Kurama's chakra as cores to draw a new energy similar to nuclear power, Naruto's strength reached a whole new level. In fact, with the power of Baryon Mode, Kurama said confidently that his total power surpassed Isshiki's by a mile. This was also evident throughout their fight. As long as Naruto fought at his highest power, he completely overwhelmed Isshiki. Ishiki couldn't even land a single hit on him, and Naruto absolutely dominated this battle from start to finish.
Considering the fact that Naruto Uzumaki achieved power greater than Isshiki Otsutsuki in this short period, it stands to reason that he was also stronger than Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Of course, Naruto didn't have Hagoromo's hax abilities, like the Creation of All Things, but in terms of raw power and overall strength, he was truly superior to him and that is a proven fact that cannot be disputed.
Naruto Uzumaki was seriously underrated in Boruto
Unfortunately, Naruto Uzumaki's luck has run out, and he has been reduced to a shell of his former self. This is really sad for all the fans. Naruto has also been completely sealed away by Kawakiand he's been out of the story for over two years now, which is incredibly disappointing for all fans of the series. The treatment of Naruto Uzumaki in Boruto has not been great at all and that's one of the biggest complaints fans have with this series at this point.
Naruto's next power-up is highly anticipated
While Naruto remains sealed away for now, fans know that he will eventually return. When he does return, fans can only hope that he gets a major power-up or they will be very disappointed. Naruto Uzumaki is the face of the franchise, even in Boruto, and he deserves to be treated with respect. Once Naruto returns, fans hope that he gains a power truly worthy and comparable to Baryon Mode, which is the level he was operating at before he became very nervous in the story.
Naruto deserves to lead by example and be the strongest ninja of his generation. Hopefully, Boruto will not disappoint on this goal in the future.
