Boruto: Kishimoto Reveals The Only Ninja That Can Surpass Both Naruto And Sasuke

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

The ninja world has changed a lot in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. It’s no longer the same as fans remember, and it’s facing potential collapse. Boruto explains that the age of ninjas is ending, and he may be the last one left. With everything happening, fans have been curious about what happened to Naruto and Sasuke. The new Boruto series finally answers that question: both are seriously injured and unable to fight.

With Naruto and Sasuke gone, a new ninja has emerged with the skills to potentially exceed them both: Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto’s son and Sasuke’s student.

Boruto Uzumaki Is The Only Ninja Who Can Surpass Naruto And Sasuke

When considering the next generation of ninja, only a few are seen as having the ability to become as strong as Naruto and Sasuke. Boruto, Kawaki, and Sarada are the most promising, though Kawaki doesn’t quite fit the traditional definition of a ninja.

He ultimately dismantles the era of ninjas, plunging the world into chaos to fulfill his own ambitions, a truly dishonorable act for someone claiming to be a ninja. Kawaki’s actions have brought shame upon himself and the ninja profession, disqualifying him from being considered one.

Sarada is incredibly talented, but it’s unlikely she’ll become stronger than Naruto and Sasuke. Boruto Uzumaki is the one with the potential to exceed them, largely because he’s Naruto’s son and Sasuke’s student. He’s mastered many powerful techniques thanks to their training, and his possession of the Karma mark from Momoshiki Otsutsuki makes him a nearly invincible force.

Thanks to the power he gained from Momoshiki’s Karma and his recent training, Boruto has the potential to become an incredibly skilled ninja. While Naruto and Sasuke have set a high bar, Boruto is likely to reach their level of strength someday.

Currently, Boruto is arguably the strongest ninja in Konoha, and he may have already exceeded the power levels of Naruto and Sasuke in their current state. While Naruto and Sasuke were more powerful at their peaks, Boruto is quickly catching up. Once he fully controls the Karma seal, he’s predicted to become even stronger than Momoshiki, surpassing even the peak power of Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke.

Currently, the most powerful form of Naruto, Baryon Mode, is the only one that might be stronger than Boruto. However, Boruto could still unlock even greater abilities later on, potentially exceeding Naruto’s peak strength.

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