This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

Summary

  • Six Paths Naruto was Otsutsuki level
  • Naruto will be surpassed by Boruto and Kawaki
  • Himawari and Sarada could come close to surpassing Naruto

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has already shown the fans that it isn't afraid of introducing powerful villains, and then having the main characters get even stronger in order to defeat them. While the series started small, with the likes of Kara members being introduced at first, now, literal Gods stand in the paths of the main characters, which means that they cannot afford to stay weak any longer.

This is especially true given that Naruto and Sasuke aren't around in Boruto anymore. Thankfully, the main characters are making incredible progress, and Kishimoto has already revealed two who will surpass Naruto Uzumaki.

Boruto Uzumaki And Kawaki Will Surpass Six Paths Naruto

  • Six Paths Naruto Was Otsutsuki Level
  • Naruto Will Be Surpassed By Boruto and Kawaki

Right now, fans know quite well that Naruto Uzumaki is one of the strongest to ever live. Even though Naruto started off rather weak, his journey to the top saw him conquer the hearts of many, including Kurama and the other Tailed Beasts. Naruto worked incredibly hard to strengthen himself, and eventually, gained tremendous strength. By the time of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto was strong enough to fight Otsutsuki, and by adulthood, he could fight the likes of Momoshiki by himself too. Still, the Six Paths powers could only let Naruto do so much. In Boruto, this was especially the case since he was heavily nerfed by the author.

Furthermore, even stronger enemies started being introduced, such as Isshiki. Clearly, the precedent for the next generation to be even stronger was already set and that's what's been happening since. Kawaki, for instance, is the vessel that holds the same abilities as Isshiki Otsutsuki. Isshiki’s experience and power have all been engraved into him, which means that, at the very least, he'll reach a level similar to his. Isshiki was stronger than Naruto, so when Kawaki matures, he will be stronger than Six Paths Naruto. Boruto will obviously be relative to Kawaki, and potentially even stronger, so he will be stronger than Naruto Uzumaki.

Himawari and Sarada Could Come Close

Two Kunoichi Hold Great Potential

Other than Kawaki and Boruto, Sarada and Himawari also hold the potential to surpass Naruto Uzumaki. Sarada intends to be the next Hokage, and in doing so, she could very well surpass Naruto with her ocular powers. Meanwhile, Himawari is the current Jinchuriki of Kurama, and she could surpass Naruto in using its powers.

Boruto is strong, but not stronger than Naruto yet. This next power-up could change that, however.

Surpassing Baryon Mode Naruto Is Impossible

While all these characters can certainly surpass Naruto Uzumaki when it comes to his Six Paths form, his strongest is still untouchable and will always remain that way. Naruto Uzumaki, in his Baryon Mode, far surpasses even Isshiki Otsutsuki’s power. This form of Naruto is practically unbeatable for most, and even Boruto and Kawaki cannot touch him. Hopefully, fans will see Naruto return and get stronger alongside the rest of the Boruto cast soon enough.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 24 is set for its official release on July 20, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
