What Is A Shinjutsu In Boruto? The God Level Jutsu Explained

by

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

The Boruto series has successfully built upon the foundational power system of the Naruto universe – chakra and Jutsu. Because the series heavily features the Otsutsuki clan, fans have learned a lot more about chakra over time. Of all the new ideas Kishimoto and Ikemoto have introduced in Boruto, Shinjutsu stands out as the most significant.

While the original Naruto series centered around ninja skills like ninjutsu and, to a lesser extent, sage mode, Boruto heavily emphasizes a different type of ability called Shinjutsu. These Shinjutsu powers are incredibly strong – even surpassing ninjutsu – and there’s a reason for that. They’re essentially divine powers that only a select few can use, which makes them uniquely powerful.

Shinjutsu Are The Strongest Form of Jutsu

Many Naruto fans are curious about what Shinjutsu are. Simply put, they’re the most powerful techniques possible in the series. But they’re more than just strong – Shinjutsu represent the peak of all Jutsu and can only be used by the Gods of this world. Literally meaning ‘Divine Techniques,’ they’re limited to a few individuals who’ve gained the power of the Gods – namely, the Otsutsuki clan.

Momoshiki Otsutsuki told Boruto Uzumaki that Omnipotence isn’t just a powerful ability – it’s the ultimate power, a gift reserved for the gods themselves.

Shinjutsu are special because they don’t require hand signs or chakra control like traditional ninjutsu. They work in a completely different and much more powerful way. In fact, ninjutsu – the techniques fans first saw in Naruto – almost seems like a weaker imitation of what Shinjutsu can achieve.

Shinjutsu Can Only Be Used By Gods

As previously established, the Shinjutsu techniques are primarily used by members of the Otsutsuki clan. However, anyone with Otsutsuki DNA can also harness these powerful abilities. We saw this demonstrated by Isshiki, whose Shinjutsu was incredibly strong during his fight with Naruto and Sasuke. Later, Shibai’s introduction confirmed that all of his techniques were also Shinjutsu.

This Jutsu is Omnipotence. It’s the strongest power there is. — Momoshiki Otsutsuki

It’s amazing to realize that anyone with Otsutsuki DNA can actually unlock these incredible Shinjutsu abilities! We’ve already seen this with Eida and Daemon – their powers all come from Shibai’s DNA. And it’s not just them; Kawaki, through Isshiki’s Karma, is also gaining access to a Shinjutsu, which is just mind-blowing!

Omnipotence Is The Strongest Shinjutsu

Within the world of Naruto, Omnipotence is considered the most powerful of all Shinjutsu abilities. It was awakened by Shibai Otsutsuki and essentially grants the user the power to make anything they desire a reality – it’s a Shinjutsu said to be capable of absolutely anything.

I’m fascinated by Eida’s powers! It seems she really just wanted to be loved, and this incredible ability of hers actually made anyone who wasn’t from the Otsutsuki clan instantly fall for her – totally without her even trying! We even saw it happen with Kawaki wanting to trade places with Boruto, and honestly, the results were pretty dramatic. It’s amazing how subconscious this power seems to be!

This power isn’t just about erasing memories or switching bodies – it’s incredibly versatile. It can create things from nothing and destroy anything that exists. Truly, there are no restrictions on what it can accomplish, as it’s considered the ultimate, most powerful ability.

We haven’t even begun to see the full extent of this Shinjutsu’s power, and the very idea of omnipotence highlights just how incredibly dangerous these techniques are.

The next chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, chapter 29, will be released on December 18, 2025, at 10 AM Eastern Time / 3 PM Coordinated Universal Time. Fans can read it for free on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
