This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has introduced fans to tons of exciting new power-ups for the main characters, such as Uzuhiko for Boruto Uzumaki and a new Mangekyo Sharingan for Sarada Uchiha. Fans are in total awe of these abilities and, of course, since the story is still in the early stages, it makes one wonder what comes next. This is especially true for the two main characters in the franchise, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
Meet the new Shinobi who will steal Naruto's throne as the strongest
Naruto Uzumaki was nervous, and this new Shinobi will steal his place as the strongest in Boruto.
Right now, both Naruto and Sasuke have been cut out of the story by Kishimotobut they will come back eventually, and when they do they will need new powers. Sasuke Uchiha is already confirmed to have grown stronger and even has a new sword, but Naruto Uzumaki's new power-up is still a big mystery. It seems that Ikemoto and Kishimoto have finally decided what his next power-up will be.
Naruto's next power in Boruto after his return is highly debated in the fandom, and there are various ways in which fans believe he may return to prominence after being freed from Kawaki. But the latest chapter of Boruto seems to have given fans a simple answer when it comes to what his next ability will be. Considering Sasuke has had his sword upgraded to a scientific ninja tool, it seems Naruto's next power-up will also be a scientific ninja tool.
Scientific Ninja Tools are meant to assist the Shinobi, not to replace the hard work. —Naruto Uzumaki
Of course, fans may be wondering what this scientific ninja tool will be. However, it has already been pointed out in the story that Naruto's prosthetic arm can be made into a unique ninja tool that can help him in battle remarkably. With that in mind Naruto has lost the power of Kurama now officially it's only a matter of time before he gets a replacement, and it could come from future technology made available with Kashin Koji's Prescience and worked on by Sumire.
Naruto's prosthetic hand will make him stronger
It is unclear what Naruto's new prosthetic hand will allow him to do at this point. But it will likely give him a godlike ability. For example, Naruto was able to absorb all forms of chakra with his former prosthetic hand. The new one could expand on that and allow him to use the chakra he absorbs in battle, similar to Momoshiki's Rinnegan.
Boruto: Kishimoto officially gives Sasuke Uchiha a new sword upgrade
After many years, Sasuke Uchiha's sword has finally been upgraded in Boruto.
This hand is still a prototype. It needs to be completed further. — Konoha scientist
It's also possible that it will allow him to shave chakra off his enemies, similar to what he used to do with Baryon Mode. On top of that, this formed chakra can be added to his own, making him even stronger in fights.
Naruto Uzumaki can also use the new Kekkei Genkai
There is another way that Naruto Uzumaki can grow in power in the future, and that is by using a new Kekkei Genkai. In fact, Naruto Uzumaki has what it takes to master Wood Release, one of the strongest abilities in all of history. This Kekkei Genkai can be accessed by those with Hashirama cellsand access to both water and soil discharges. Naruto meets all of these conditions and he should be able to use this power as well.
This new Kekkei Genkai, combined with his new scientific ninja toolwill once again make him strong enough to compete at the very highest level and the fans absolutely cannot wait to see it. Of course, his return is still some time away since he remains sealed away for now, but it's getting closer with each passing day, and fans are seeing signs of his future abilities in Boruto already.
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.
