This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
Boruto Uzumaki is the beloved protagonist of the Boruto series and one of the most powerful ninjas in the world currently. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, fans have seen Boruto Uzumaki develop into a phenomenal shinobi, the likes of which could even be considered to be the strongest in the entire world. As things stand, Boruto Uzumaki has enough power to take on the likes of the Otsutsuki on his own, and his performance against the likes of the Shinju clearly goes to show for it. However, he still strives for even greater power in order to protect the ones he loves.
It's Time To Welcome Boruto's New Legendary Ninja Even Stronger Than Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto is strong, but this ninja from Boruto has already surpassed him.
As such, Boruto often receives new power-ups so that he gets stronger, and one such case was observed rather recently in Two Blue Vortex. Boruto Uzumaki has officially received a new Kekkei Genkai upgrade in the form of the Byakugan, and it has pushed his already immense skill to the next level.
Boruto Uzumaki Signed A Pact With Momoshiki Otsutsuki
- Momoshiki grants his powers to Boruto Uzumaki
- In return, Boruto Uzumaki must give over his body to Momoshiki
When Boruto returned at the beginning of Two Blue Vortex, it was quite clear for the fans to see that he had reached a very high level of power. This was evident from Boruto being able to overwhelm Code in terms of overall power, and when he fought the Shinju, he was able to start his own. When Boruto fought Hidari, he almost destroyed him completely in battle, and that was once again a great showing of what he could do in combat. Quite clearly, in Naruto's absence, Boruto was the strongest ninja in the world, with only the likes of Kawaki being able to rival him.
However, despite that, Boruto still craved more strength and this is because he recognized the fact that he could not defeat Jura as he was. Boruto did try his luck against the incarnation of the Ten Tails and failed bitterly. After fighting him with Kawaki at his side, he recognized that this power level was not enough to get the job done. As such Boruto turned to the inner demon that he possesses, and that is Momoshiki Otsutsuki.
As was clearly seen in the recent chapters of Boruto, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was successfully convinced by the protagonist of the series to enter a pact. Essentially, Boruto Uzumaki will give Momoshiki his body if he helps him defeat all the Shinju. Momoshiki, fully intrigued by this idea, agreed and allowed Boruto to utilize all his powers through the Karma. That is precisely why in the battle against Mamushi, Boruto was seen activating the power of the Karma for the first time, and with that, he reached a completely new level of power.
With its powers, Boruto was able to overwhelm Mamushi completely and hit him from angles that he could not even perceive. It is quite clear that Boruto has leveled up greatly, especially when taking into consideration the fact that he also has a new sword at his disposal that grants him great abilities.
Boruto Has Gained The Power Of The Byakugan
- Boruto's Byakugan is connected to the Otsutsuki Clan
- He has his own Dojutsu power-up now
Thanks to Boruto Uzumaki receiving the power of Momoshiki, he also gained access to a new Kekkei Genkai in the form of the Byakugan. Fans know very well that the Byakugan is incredibly powerful, as it belonged to the Hyuga at one point. This Kekkei Genkai allows the user to see through all objects and obstacles, and across great distances in the blink of an eye. At the same time, it also allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system quite clearly and then hit the tenketsu to block the chakra flow entirely.
Naruto: All New Boruto Dojutsu, Explained
Boruto has introduced new Dojutsu. Some are more unique than others.
It goes without saying that the Byakugan is one of the most powerful Kekkei Genkai in the Boruto series, and that is precisely why the likes of Kaguya and other Otsutsuki also wield it. Now, this Byakugan belongs to none other than Boruto Uzumaki, and in the battle against Mamushi, he already showed how great his usage of this ability truly was.
Boruto's Byakugan Is Incredibly Special
It must also be noted that Boruto Uzumaki's Byakugan is quite special, unlike any other that the fans have seen in the story. The regular Byakugan that the fans have seen, which belongs to the Hyuga cannot do anything beyond what was revealed in the story initially. However, in the case of the Otsutsuki, the Byakugan possesses some special powers. For example, in the case of Kinshiki Otsutsuki, fans knew that he could actually use space-time ninjutsu with his Byakugan. As far as Momoshiki goes, he could see bits and pieces of the future with his Byakugan through unknown means, and fans even saw him momentarily stop time itself.
Now that Boruto Uzumaki wields the power of Momoshiki's Byakugan, he should also have access to these abilities, although perhaps not at the moment. If Boruto goes on to master the Byakugan later down the line, he will most certainly gain access to the other abilities as well. That would truly make his eye special. There might even be other abilities that Momoshiki's Byakugan has that fans don't know about. In that case, Boruto Uzumaki would be the one to bring out these powers, and it would truly be interesting to see a main character with such an overpowered ocular jutsu. Fans absolutely cannot wait to see him grow even further, especially as the battle against Jira approaches.
The Jougan Is Officially Non Canon In Boruto Now
Boruto Uzumaki activating the power of the Byakugan also finally clears up the doubts the fans had about his initial Kekkei Genkai, known as the Jougan. When the Boruto anime began, fans believed that Boruto Uzumaki had a unique Kekkei Genkai, which the anime referred to as the Jougan. However, now in the manga, Boruto has successfully awakened the Byakugan instead. In other words, the Jougan is now considered non-canon and doesn't truly apply to the manga.
The Jougan is the creation of the anime team entirely, and it doesn't truly exist in the world of Naruto. While that is unfortunate in some ways, fans also know that this would only go on to cause more confusion and chaos, just as it did for about eight years now.
Moving forward, fans should keep in mind that Boruto's true Kekkei Genkai is the Byakugan and that it has some special abilities that he will likely go on to awaken at some point later down the line. With all the new abilities that Boruto has, it is time that he shows Jura what he is truly all about and that he can actually go on to defeat him in combat.
