Naruto and Sasuke are arguably the most recognizable and beloved characters in the Boruto series, essentially becoming the faces of the entire franchise. Many fans began watching Boruto specifically because of these two characters, and it’s understandable why some feel let down by how they’ve been portrayed.
The Naruto series made Naruto and Sasuke into legendary figures, but the Boruto series has taken away their abilities. Currently, both are unable to fight, though they are expected to make a comeback. When they do return, fans anticipate they’ll need to be even more powerful than before, meaning they’ll likely gain new skills and abilities.
New Sword (Sasuke Uchiha)

Following his return in Boruto, Sasuke Uchiha is confirmed to be getting a new power-up: a new sword. Previously, his sword was taken by Boruto Uzumaki, and recently, Sumire enhanced it with futuristic technology.
This sword is absolutely incredible now – it’s way more dangerous and powerful than it used to be! What’s really cool is that it’s constantly covered in the wielder’s chakra, which just boosts its strength even further. Plus, there’s this hidden ability it has that hasn’t been shown yet, but I have a feeling we’ll see it unleashed during the big finale of what’s happening right now. The sword already recognizes Sasuke’s chakra signature, so when he comes back, I’m certain he’ll be able to use it again. I can’t wait to see it in action!
New Prosthetic Hand (Naruto Uzumaki)
Fans have been excited about the potential power-ups Naruto could receive in Boruto, and a new prosthetic hand is one of the most intriguing. He previously tested a prosthetic that could absorb any ninjutsu attack. However, that version was just a prototype because it couldn’t release chakra like the Rinnegan of Momoshiki.
The prosthetic hand could potentially be improved further. With its recent upgrades, it’s likely to be a significant boost for Naruto Uzumaki, helping him compete with the strongest fighters again.
Overall Strength Boost (Naruto Uzumaki)
When Naruto Uzumaki returns in the Boruto series, he’ll likely need to be significantly stronger. Sasuke Uchiha already received a power-up during the time skip, having trained intensely before being sealed. That’s why he could fight against Code and his Claw Grimes, and even injure Code by taking one of his eyes.
Naruto was sealed away, and that’s why he’ll need time to get back up to speed when he returns. The story will probably adjust his strength so he doesn’t need to train to become powerful again.
Wood Release (Naruto Uzumaki)
The Boruto series offers a lot of possibilities for Naruto Uzumaki to become even more powerful, assuming the story treats him fairly. One particularly interesting upgrade that Naruto could receive when he returns is the ability to use Wood Release.
Naruto received some of Hashirama Senju’s DNA during the Fourth Great Ninja War when he got a prosthetic hand, and it’s already been established that he carries it.
As an adult, Naruto has demonstrated the ability to control all five basic elemental forces. Because of this, he should be able to use Wood Release whenever he needs to. Now that he no longer has Kurama’s power, Wood Release could give him a significant edge in battles.
Tailed Beast Chakra (Naruto Uzumaki)
Even though Naruto lost the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox in Boruto, he doesn’t necessarily have to lose access to the power of all the Tailed Beasts. He could still connect with the remaining Tailed Beasts and regain their chakra.
It’s actually fairly simple, and if he succeeds, he could regain a lot of strength. This could even lessen the impact of losing Kurama, as long as the author doesn’t change his mind.
Rinnegan (Sasuke Uchiha)
As many fans are aware, Sasuke Uchiha no longer has the Rinnegan after his fight with Isshiki. He still retains his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, though.
Sasuke’s second eye might eventually evolve into a Rinnegan naturally, which would make him even more powerful. It’s a likely scenario.
Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Sasuke Uchiha)
I’ve noticed Sasuke has so many cool fighting techniques, but I think his Lightning Release Chakra Mode is seriously underappreciated. It’s a really powerful ability – it’s like giving him an almost unbreakable defense, and it supercharges his reflexes and speed. It really could take his battles to the next level.
Sasuke was becoming exceptionally fast and powerful, making him a formidable opponent in battle – few could match him. Lightning A of Kumogakure was renowned for this level of skill, and Sasuke was poised to reach the same heights.
