Say Goodbye To Naruto Uzumaki, And Welcome The New Strongest Character In Boruto

by

This article contains spoilers from the Naruto series.

Fans of the *Naruto* series are eagerly anticipating the return of Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage, in *Boruto*. He’s not just an incredibly powerful ninja, capable of defeating most opponents, but also a truly inspiring and iconic character. As one of the most influential figures in anime history, it’s no surprise fans are excited to see his legacy continue in *Boruto* and are hoping for his return.

It looks like Naruto Uzumaki won’t be returning to the series for the foreseeable future. While fans are eager to see the Seventh Hokage again, the story is now shifting its focus to his son, Boruto Uzumaki. The Boruto series has essentially moved past Naruto, and is now centering on Boruto as the new main character, even though he isn’t as well-known or beloved as his father.

Boruto Uzumaki Is The Strongest Ninja In Boruto Now

Naruto Uzumaki Is No Longer The Strongest

  • Naruto was sealed by Kawaki
  • No return update for Naruto has been given

Okay, so with Naruto stepping back a bit, we *need* someone to be our top ninja when the Otsutsuki inevitably show up again. Honestly, who else would it be but Sasuke? He’s the obvious choice, right?

You know, I really look up to Uncle Sasuke. It’s just… I want to be strong enough to always have your back, especially when *you* become Hokage, Sarada. I’ll protect you, no matter what.

In a surprising development, fans were shocked to discover that Sasuke is also temporarily unable to fight in the *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex* series. With both Naruto and Sasuke now out of commission, all eyes are turning to the younger generation of ninjas, and it seems Boruto Uzumaki is emerging as the strongest of them all.

After a significant time jump, Boruto Uzumaki has become incredibly powerful, capable of battling even the strongest opponents like the Otsutsuki clan. His rigorous training with Sasuke Uchiha and Kashin Koji has transformed him into a reliable ninja, and the world’s future now depends on him. Boruto is strong enough to defeat enemies like Code and potentially even surpass Jura. What truly sets him apart from other powerful ninjas is his natural talent, combined with his recent pact with Momoshiki. With Naruto currently unavailable, Boruto is undoubtedly the strongest ninja currently alive.

I will give you control over my body if you help out against Jura. — Boruto Uzumaki to Momoshiki

Naruto Will Eventually Return In Boruto

Fans Hope For A New Naruto Power-Up

Fans are enjoying the Boruto series, but they’re also anticipating Naruto Uzumaki’s eventual return. Once the current storylines involving the Shinju and Akebi Otsutsuki are resolved, the focus will likely shift to a showdown between Boruto and Kawaki. Naruto is expected to reappear after that fight, and fans are hoping the creators will protect his established character and legacy.

Naruto Uzumaki needs a power boost in the Boruto series, not just because fans love him, but because his strength has been significantly reduced. For him to remain a powerful and important character, he needs new abilities, and many fans are hoping he receives them once he’s freed from the sealing.

I’m so excited – the next chapter of *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex*, chapter 27, is coming out on October 19th, 2025! It’ll be released at 10 AM Eastern Time / 3 PM UTC. And the best part is, like always, we can read it officially for free on Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app!
