Ikemoto Drops A Massive Hint About Boruto’s Power

This post contains spoilers for Boruto.

The continuation of Masashi Kishimoto’s beloved ninja narrative, titled “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” initially sparked debate among fans upon its release. Many spectators were hesitant about Boruto and questioned whether this new series could maintain the same essence as Naruto.

Contrary to some buzz suggesting its termination, Boruto – much to my delight – continues to thrive as one of the top manga series out there! At the heart of this captivating tale has always been Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto’s remarkable son, who’s grown into quite the formidable fighter. Lately, Ikemoto has given us a tantalizing hint about Boruto’s hidden powers, leaving me eagerly awaiting more!

Boruto Uzumaki Is Already One Of The Strongest Characters

Boruto Uzumaki Is Insanely Overpowered

Boruto Uzumaki Is A Genius
Boruto Will Surpass Naruto Eventually

Boruto Uzumaki demonstrates extraordinary talent, quickly mastering even the most challenging techniques. This innate genius was apparent early in the series when he not only learned but also enhanced the Rasengan by integrating it with Lightning Release. This made Boruto the first individual since Naruto to incorporate an element into the Rasengan, a feat that even skilled users like Minato, Jiraiya, and Konohamaru could not achieve.

Over time, Boruto’s power has been consistently growing in each story arc. He’s become more proficient in handling the Jogan, learned numerous jutsu, and significantly enhanced his physical prowess. As a result, he can face Otsutsuki-level opponents with relative ease. If this rate of development continues, it won’t take long before he claims the title as the strongest character in the series. Some viewers may ponder if this is the author’s intention. Fortunately, the author has offered some insight on the matter.

Ikemoto Wants Boruto To Surpass Naruto

The Author Wants Boruto To Be His Own Person

In a recent conversation, Ikemoto discussed both Naruto and Boruto. He admitted that having Naruto around made it tricky to pen Boruto’s story. He briefly touched upon the complexities he faced while creating the sequel. Furthermore, he praised Boruto for establishing his own identity as a strong lead character. Additionally, Ikemoto hinted that Boruto could potentially outshine Naruto in terms of heroism.

To outshine Naruto’s legendary status, Boruto must exceed his father in power. As the challenges in Boruto escalate, only by growing stronger can our hero counteract these threats effectively. Kishimoto, the author, emphasized that a significant portion of the narrative rests on reader engagement and encouraged us all to lend our support. (Author quote: “The story is largely dependent on the readers, so I ask for your support.”)

It’s clear that Boruto was initially intended to follow Naruto, but given Naruto’s immense influence, the journey has been challenging. However, Boruto has now established himself as a standalone protagonist. Will he become a hero equal to or even surpass his father? Time will tell and it largely depends on your continued support, so keep rooting for us!

Will Naruto Return In Boruto?

The Hero Will Make A Comeback At Some Point

Right now, there’s a lot of speculation about whether Naruto will make another appearance in the story. It seems likely that he might escape his current predicament, but when that happens remains uncertain. For now, the manga creator, Ikemoto, is more interested in developing Boruto and other new characters, aiming to create a unique narrative distinct from Kishimoto’s original storyline.

If Ikemoto decides to include Naruto in the plot, it might result in all focus shifting towards the red-headed ninja, potentially overshadowing Boruto’s spotlight. Moreover, Ikemoto must be mindful when managing Naruto’s character, as fans have shown disapproval towards his portrayal being dominated by newer characters and appearing weakened or humiliated. Therefore, it’s crucial for Ikemoto to strategize carefully when bringing back the iconic ninja character.

Apart from Naruto, spectators are equally excited about Sasuke’s appearances. Though his story wasn’t as grim as Naruto’s, Sasuha (a nickname for Sasuke) has faced similar hardships. It’s likely that Sasuke and Naruto will join forces again in upcoming arcs; however, the timing is yet to be determined. In the meantime, fans can indulge in the escapades of Boruto and Sarada.
