This article contains spoilers for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
If there's one thing that all fans of the Boruto series are eagerly waiting for, it is the return of Naruto Uzumaki to action. For those who don't know, Naruto Uzumaki isn't active in the Boruto series right now and this is all down to one man only — Kawaki. As fans know, Kawaki, in his attempt to protect Naruto Uzumaki from the Otsutsuki and their likes, decided to seal him away.
Boruto: Kishimoto Officially Confirms The Next User Of Baryon Mode
Baryon Mode is strong, and will have a new user soon in Boruto.
Naruto Uzumaki has remained sealed ever since, but fans know very well that he will eventually return to the story. Fans often wonder how strong he'll be after his return and what powers he will use, and it just so happens that Naruto Uzumaki might make use of a stunning Kekkei Genkai in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the basis for which has been laid down by Kishimoto himself.
Naruto Uzumaki Has 3 Kekkei Genkai Already in Boruto
- Naruto Gained 3 Kekkei Genkai During The War
- He's the Strongest Shinobi In Boruto
Naruto is no stranger to Kekkei Genkai abilities. Fans of Naruto know, these are special abilities that are largely restricted to bloodlines and they cannot be learned by even the most skilled individuals unless they have the Kekkei Genkai as well.

Naruto Uzumaki has 3 Kekkei Genkai at his disposal, and he gained all of them during the Fourth Great Ninja War. It was Shukaku who gave Naruto Magnet Release, giving his chakra magnetic properties, and Kokuo gave him the power to use steam with Boil Release. Finally, Son Goku gave him the power of Lava Release, a monstrously powerful Kekkei Genkai. Now, it seems that Naruto Uzumaki is about to use another.
Naruto Can Gain Wood Release Kekkei Genkai
Naruto Has Hashirama Cells And All Nature Transformations
If there's one power-up that Kishimoto himself has set the basis for when it comes to Naruto, it is Wood Release. This power requires the usage of Earth and Water Release simultaneously as one of the conditions. This is incredibly easy for Naruto to do. The second condition is to be born air the ability to manipulate forests and vegetation.
Come, Otsutsuki! I will show you what true resolve of a shinobi looks like. — Naruto Uzumaki
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 26 Preview: Momoshiki Otsutsuki Returns
A huge battle is brewing, and Momoshiki Otsutsuki finally makes his return in Boruto TBV chapter 26.
Unfortunately, Naruto wasn't born with this power, but he did gain Hashirama Cells later down the line. Throughout his prosthetic arm, Naruto is actually able to gain access to Wood Release, and with his nature transformations, he should easily be able to use this power effortlessly. If he were to gain Wood Release, it would push him to a new level, especially since a big power is needed after Naruto lost Kurama.
Naruto Will Return Eventually
For now, fans don't know exactly when Naruto will return. It is hard to pinpoint a date, but it is highly likely that this won't happen before the Boruto Vs Kawaki fight. Once Kawaki has been brought to his senses, Naruto Uzumaki can finally be unsealed and fans would then have a chance of seeing his newfound abilities.
