Naruto: Masashi Kishimoto Officially Confirms Naruto’s New Kekkei Genkai

by

This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

Born ordinary, Naruto Uzumaki wasn’t gifted like Sasuke in terms of natural talents or being part of a skilled ninja clan. Unlike him, Naruto was burdened from birth with a Tailed Beast that relentlessly sought to dominate his body for its own freedom.

To put it another way, Naruto successfully overcame all his shortcomings and eventually managed to subdue the Tailed Beast within him. The effort he invested over time resulted in remarkable growth, granting him immense power as the story progressed. Although the Six Paths Sage Mode is well-known, fewer fans are aware that Naruto Uzumaki also acquired access to three distinct Kekkei Genkai during the narrative.

Naruto Uzumaki Was Not Born With Any Kekkei Genkai

  • The Uzumaki Clan Doesn’t Have Kekkei Genkai
  • Only Uzumaki Women Have A Special Ability

Born into the Uzumaki Clan, Naruto Uzumaki wasn’t endowed with a unique Kekkei Genkai. However, members of the Uzumaki possess an immensely potent life force and a vast chakra reservoir. So, while Naruto didn’t have any special abilities in this regard, he did have something to build upon. Add to that, his status as the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, and it’s no wonder Naruto Uzumaki had an incredibly large chakra reserve. Unfortunately for Naruto, he lacked a Kekkei Genkai.

Unlike Sasuke, you weren’t born with any special powers. — Hagoromo Otsutsuki

Interestingly, members of the Uzumaki Clan in Naruto possess a unique ability that isn’t categorized as Kekkei Genkai but is nonetheless potent. Essentially, certain Uzumaki women can create chains made of an indestructible material, similar to adamantium. These chains can form a strong barrier or temporarily bind someone as powerful as the Nine Tails. Regrettably, Naruto doesn’t have this ability bestowed upon him.

Naruto Uzumaki Gained 3 Kekkei Genkai In The Fourth Great Ninja War

One Tail, Four Tails, And Five Tails Gave Him His Kekkei Genkai

Initially, Naruto Uzumaki didn’t have any Special-Secret Techniques (Kekkei Genkai) to his name. However, as time passed and he honed his skills through rigorous training and fostered deep relationships, things began to change. In the rescue of the Tailed Beasts, almost all of them recognized Naruto’s selflessness and gifted him a portion of their chakra in return. This proved instrumental during the Fourth Ninja War, where Naruto was not directly linked to all Tailed Beasts. To clarify, Naruto Uzumaki eventually earned a total of 3 Kekkei Genkai.

Don’t you all agree? That Naruto is the old man’s reincarnation? — Son Goku

The initial ability bestowed upon him was named “Magnet Release,” a unique technique imparted by Shukaku, the One-Tail. With this extraordinary skill, Naruto could imbue his chakra with magnetic properties and subsequently fashion Jutsu like Magnet Release: Rasengan. This powerful technique had the capacity to seal whoever it struck.

Naruto was granted the Lava Release technique by the Four-Tailed Beast, similar to how Son Goku possesses it. This unique ability boasts an astonishing destructive force that’s capable of consuming virtually any substance.

Lastly, it should be noted that Naruto possesses the Boil Release of Kokuo, which imparts boiling characteristics to his chakra. This ability enhances Naruto’s strength momentarily upon activation, leaving even powerful figures like Kaguya in awe when it is utilized.

Even After Losing Kurama, Naruto’s Mighty Kekkei Genkai Should Still Be With Him

In the story of Boruto, Naruto Uzumaki temporarily lost Kurama, one of the Tailed Beasts residing within him. However, it’s been confirmed by Kishimoto that the power of the other Tailed Beast Chakra remains within Naruto. This is evident as he has previously utilized this chakra against Delta. As we look forward to Naruto’s return, there’s anticipation for him to further explore and harness these latent powers.

In a delightful turn of events, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will unveil its new chapter on September 20, 2025! Mark your calendars for the grand release at 10 AM Eastern Standard Time or 3 PM Coordinated Universal Time. As usual, eager readers can enjoy this chapter free of charge on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump applications. Happy reading to all Naruto enthusiasts!
