This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
The Boruto series has introduced the fans to quite a lot of powerful ninjas over the years. With the likes of Naruto and Sasuke no longer around, the need for powerful ninjas is greater than ever before. As fans know, Boruto entered a massive 3-year time skip very recently, and things have gone from bad to worse for the ninja world ever since. Naruto Uzumaki remains sealed in the dimension of Daikokuten, while Sasuke has been turned into a tree.
Boruto: Naruto Uzumaki Could Gain 1 New Kekkei Genkai After Return In Boruto According To Kishimoto
Naruto Uzumaki lost some of his powers, but he might gain a new Kekkei Genkai when he returns in Boruto.
In the absence of these legendary figures, the ninja world needed someone even stronger to step up, and that is exactly what has happened with the protagonist of the series, Boruto Uzumaki. It goes without saying that Boruto Uzumaki has been born anew in the Two Blue Vortex series. Whereas Boruto was a rather underwhelming character in the first part, the second part gives him a much more interesting personality, and along with that, tremendous power. Right now, it can be said that Boruto Uzumaki is the most legendary ninja in the world that's currently active and he's also the strongest, with his current ability surpassing those even of Naruto and Sasuke.
Boruto Uzumaki Has Become A Legendary Ninja Stronger Than Naruto
Boruto Uzumaki's rise to power has been quite an interesting ride. After Omnipotence struck, Boruto Uzumaki was forced to leave the village and he was trained during this period by none other than Sasuke Uchiha. In about one year, Boruto Uzumaki learned all there was to learn from Sasuke, and he even gained access to some very rare Uchiha Jutsu. But, all this was not enough for him to reach the very top. After all, Sasuke only taught him the basics.
Over the next two years, Boruto honed his abilities, but most importantly, he ran into Kashin Koji, who allowed him to take his powers to the next level with his Prescience ability. Using various futures across different timelines, Boruto took the best jutsu that he would go on to learn and assimilated them all in his current form.
Boruto Has Access To Incredible Powers
After the three-year timeskip of the Boruto series, it can be said that Boruto Uzumaki is now a monster. He has created almost undefeatable techniques, such as Rasengan Uzuhiko, and on top of that, his overall fighting capabilities are such that he can even beat Code with ease.
What is love? My current opinion is that it can be a fatal weakness for you humans, a flaw...that is a side effect of being highly intelligent. Yet it makes you stronger! — Jura to Boruto Uzumaki, Two Blue Vortex
Anyone who operates at this level is quite easily a legendary ninja, even stronger than the likes of Madara, Sasuke, or Naruto. Unfortunately, legendary status will never be attached to the name of Boruto Uzumaki and that is simply because he is branded a criminal.
Boruto Protects The Village From The Shadows
Still, despite being known as a criminal all across the world, Boruto Uzumaki is good at heart and fans know very well that he protects the village from the shadows. Since the beginning of Two Blue Vortex, fans have seen Boruto protect the village on multiple counts.
This isn't a tale about a boy who aims to become Hokage. That was my dad's story. This is none other than my story! — Boruto Uzumaki, Boruto Chapter 1
After 18 Years, Naruto Is Set To Reveal The Next Child Of Prophecy
Naruto was the child of Prophecy, but his time is over. Boruto has a new child of prophecy who will save the world.
Despite everything, Boruto Uzumaki has always made sure to protect his loved ones and even other people who live in Konoha. He does not get their appreciation or their love, but he cares little for such things. Boruto is the perfect successor of Sasuke Uchiha and, similarly, Itachi Uchiha as well, and that is part of what makes him so exciting as a main character.
Boruto's Ceiling Is Higher Than Naruto's
It goes without saying that Boruto Uzumaki is incredibly powerful and that he is regarded as a legendary figure in terms of strength by all the fans. That said, it must be remembered that Boruto's ceiling is actually even higher. He has not peaked as a ninja yet and he has many other power-ups coming in the future.
Even though he has already surpassed Sasuke and Naruto, Boruto will continue to grow and become quite possibly the most powerful shinobi of all time. Some fans might not like it, but that is how the story is going at the moment.
Boruto Uzumaki still has his Karma to master, as well as his Jougan/Byakugan to awaken. Taking into consideration all these powers that he possesses, Boruto Uzumaki will most certainly go on to become the most legendary ninja of all time.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is the sequel to the original Boruto series, written by Mikio Ikemoto, and supervised by Masashi Kishimoto.
