by

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is delivering a lot of thrilling moments, showcasing the next generation of ninjas and challenging them with powerful enemies. However, some fans are worried about how the series is treating the original characters from Naruto. Beloved heroes like Naruto and Sasuke have faced difficulties in the Boruto storyline, which is disappointing to many. The series seems focused on completely shifting the spotlight to the new generation, even sidelining Naruto Uzumaki – the iconic protagonist of the original series.

Boruto Uzumaki has taken his father’s place as a powerful ninja. Many fans have debated who is stronger in the *Boruto* series, and it now seems clear that Boruto currently has more power than Naruto. While Boruto is stronger right now, Naruto still has a higher potential peak strength overall.

Boruto Uzumaki Has Surpassed Naruto’s Current Power Level

Naruto Was Severely Nerfed In Boruto

  • Naruto’s strongest power is Sage Mode
  • Boruto Has Karma and Uzuhiko

Most fans agree that Boruto Uzumaki is now more powerful than Naruto in *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex*. This is largely because Naruto has lost a significant portion of his abilities.

You be good, Naruto. And don’t join me too soon. — Kurama

After his battle with Isshiki Otsutsuki, Naruto Uzumaki lost Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Beast. This means he’s significantly weaker than before, now relying mainly on Sage Mode. On the other hand, Boruto Uzumaki has been steadily growing in power. Over a year of training with Sasuke Uchiha has made him incredibly strong, and his time with Kashin Koji has given him access to techniques from different timelines, further boosting his abilities.

Boruto began as a continuation of the popular Naruto series, and it’s been challenging to establish its own identity because of Naruto’s success. Now, Boruto is really coming into his own as a main character. Whether he’ll become a hero as great as his father, or even exceed him, is still an open question. Honestly, I don’t know what the future holds! It will depend on how much support we receive from you, our readers, so please continue to follow the story. —Ikemoto

Boruto Uzumaki possesses the immense power of Momoshiki, and while he’s still learning to control it, he eventually will. As a result, Boruto is already more powerful than Naruto was at the same age in the Boruto storyline.

I will save you no matter what, Uncle Sasuke. — Boruto Uzumaki

Naruto Uzumaki’s Peak Is Still Higher

Naruto’s Baryon Mode Remains Untouched

Although Boruto currently has more power than Naruto, it’s important to remember that Naruto has a higher potential peak strength. Naruto’s Six Paths Sage Mode gives him an edge over Boruto, and his Baryon Mode is a level Boruto hasn’t reached yet. In fact, when using Baryon Mode, Naruto remains one of the most powerful ninjas ever, surpassed only by Shibai Otsutsuki.

The next chapter of *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex*, chapter 27, will be released on October 20, 2025, at 10 AM Eastern Time / 3 PM UTC. Fans can read it for free on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
