The series took a surprising turn by portraying Naruto as less powerful than fans remembered. Once considered the strongest ninja ever – the Seventh Hokage who always protected the Hidden Leaf Village – he now appears weaker. This is especially notable considering how much he struggled, trained, and ultimately mastered the incredible power of Kurama.
In the series Boruto, Naruto isn’t the overwhelmingly powerful figure he once was. After his battle with Isshiki Otsutsuki, he lost Kurama, which significantly weakened him. As the ninja world continued to change and face new, stronger enemies, Naruto found himself falling behind. Now, several characters in Boruto are more powerful than he is.
Daemon Weaponizes His Opponent’s Own Power Against Them
Daemon is a cyborg created by Amado using cells from Shibai Otsutsuki. His unique ability instantly reflects any attack back to the person who initiated it, based on their intention. If someone tries to harm him, they suffer the same injury. Attempting to kill him results in the attacker receiving the fatal blow themselves, and this happens instantly, without needing any chakra. This power fundamentally changes how shinobi fight, as it penalizes even thinking about attacking, not just the attack itself.
I watched as even Code, after pushing past his own limits and becoming incredibly powerful, couldn’t even touch Daemon. He had to pull back right away. Daemon isn’t just strong, though – he’s on another level. I saw him single-handedly destroy dozens of Human God Trees with ease, and he took down a fully grown man with just one kick. Boruto himself said Daemon’s strength was beyond comprehension. That really puts things in perspective; even without Kurama, Naruto wouldn’t stand a chance, and he was already weaker than Code after losing that power.
Isshiki Otsutsuki Beat Naruto and Was Not Even at Full Power
Isshiki Otsutsuki is an incredibly powerful villain in the world of Naruto, and battling him forced Naruto and Sasuke to exceed their absolute limits. Naruto was even driven to use Baryon Mode, a risky transformation that ultimately cost him Kurama’s life. Despite this, it wasn’t enough to defeat Isshiki. While Naruto managed to land several blows that reduced Isshiki’s lifespan, his own body failed before he could deliver the final strike.
What made this battle so dangerous was that Isshiki wasn’t even fighting at his full strength. He was limited by the failing body of Jigen, and if he’d been revived in Kawaki, he would have been truly invincible. Even with that disadvantage, Naruto only managed to win by using his most powerful form, but at the cost of losing Kurama forever, which significantly weakened him afterward.
Boruto Uzumaki Is Now Stronger Than Naruto Ever Was
Naruto was incredibly powerful at his best, but his strength always relied on a specific source. Now, in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Boruto has become even stronger than his father. This is largely because Naruto has weakened significantly. After losing Kurama during the fight with Isshiki, he’s just not as powerful as he once was.
Boruto has become significantly stronger. He trained extensively with Sasuke after the time skip, mastering everything Sasuke could teach him and becoming a much more skilled fighter. He also learned new techniques from Kashin Koji and gained access to the immense power of Momoshiki. Even if Naruto still had Baryon Mode, Boruto would be a formidable opponent. Without it, Boruto would likely win, demonstrating that he has surpassed his father in strength.
The Evolved Ten-Tails Jura Is on a Completely Different Level
Jura is an incredibly powerful being in Two Blue Vortex. He’s essentially a new version of the Ten-Tails, but far stronger than the one seen in Naruto. Even Boruto, the main character of the series, admits Jura is more powerful than him. Visions of the future shown to Kashin Koji confirm this, as Jura defeats Boruto in nearly every possible outcome. These visions also portray Jura as the ultimate enemy, and the story strongly suggests that if he truly focuses his power, the ninja world is doomed.
Jura is an incredibly powerful being, considered a dangerous god-like entity even surpassing his creator, Code. He possesses abilities on par with the incredibly strong Otsutsuki clan, like Isshiki. His unique power, Daikokuten, makes him extremely difficult to destroy, and he hasn’t even revealed his full capabilities. Jura confidently claims he could defeat Naruto even with the Nine-Tails’ power, and proved his strength by easily overcoming Himawari Uzumaki. Without the Nine-Tails’ power, Naruto would stand no chance against someone as strong as Jura.
Shibai Otsutsuki Is the Closest Thing the Naruto Universe Has to an Actual God
Shibai Otsutsuki is likely the strongest character in the entire Naruto series because he planned and prepared for a very long time – millennia, in fact. He gained immense power by consuming chakra fruits and repeatedly avoiding death, eventually becoming something beyond life itself and leaving behind a physical body. Even just those remains had a huge impact, fundamentally changing the world of Boruto.
All the incredibly powerful abilities seen throughout the series – like Eida’s near-omniscience, Daemon’s ability to reflect attacks, and Kashin Koji’s versatile techniques – originally come from the genetic makeup of a single individual, Shibai. Each of these abilities is almost impossible to defend against on its own. Shibai possessed them all simultaneously, plus the power to see the future, teleport instantly with black bands, and even manifest anything he wished into reality. Even at his strongest, Naruto struggled against opponents with just a small piece of Shibai’s power. Facing Shibai himself wouldn’t even be a contest.
