This article contains spoilers for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
When it comes to the Tailed Beasts of the Naruto world, it goes without saying that Kurama is the most iconic one of all. After all, it was the first to be revealed to the fans, and at the same time, it was also the one that forged a bond with Naruto.
Boruto: Kishimoto Reveals A New Eye In The Boruto Series, And It's Stronger Than The Rinnegan
The Rinnegan is strong, but it's far from the most powerful eye in Boruto.
Among the first nine Tailed Beasts, Kurama was also the strongest Tailed Beast, which only adds to its popularity. Unfortunately, Naruto and Kurama are no longer together, but he could be getting a new Tailed Beast power soon.
Naruto Uzumaki Lost Kurama During The Battle Vs Isshiki
- Naruto Used Baryon Mode Vs Isshiki
- Kurama Died Following The Battle
Naruto and Kurama had been an incredible team for years upon years. However, all that changed in the Isshiki arc of Boruto, where Naruto Uzumaki had to take on the greatest threat that he had ever faced. Isshiki was stronger than both Naruto and Sasuke combined, so for Naruto to defeat him required something special.
Come, Otsutsuki! I'll show you what the true resolve of a shinobi is. — Naruto Uzumaki to Isshiki Otsutsuki
As fans know this ended up being Baryon Mode. This transformation was unique, in that it used Naruto and Kurama's chakra and raw materials to create a new form of energy that overwhelmed even Isshiki Otsutsuki. In fact, Naruto became even stronger than Isshiki in this form, which was quite special to see. Unfortunately, eventually, it burned out, and Naruto lost Kurama forever. Ever since then, Naruto has been considerably weaker and fans don't like it.
The Ten-Tails Still Exists In Boruto
The Shinju Come From The Ten Tails
While Kurama was stripped from Naruto earlier in the story, it doesn't mean he cannot gain a new power. Naruto cannot get access to Kurama again, which is obvious, given that the Tailed Beast now belongs to Himawari Uzumaki. But, there are other Tailed Beasts that Naruto Uzumaki can utilize. In fact, there is one that needs a vessel in the Boruto series, and that's the Ten Tails.
Unlike the others, Jura doesn't have a parent Jody. He is the incarnation of the Ten-Tails itself. He's the strongest of the lot. — Boruto Uzumaki
Boruto: Kishimoto Has Officially Confirmed A Female Character Even Stronger Than Sarada Uchiha
Sarada is strong, but she is still far from surpassing the franchise's strongest female character.
Right now, the Ten Tails is being used to create the Shinju. But, the Shinju will eventually die. Like the other Tailed Beasts, the Ten Tails will need to be sealed away somehow, or it'll just return, and the best way to do so is just the way Hagoromo Otsutsuki did, which is by becoming its Jinchuriki.
Naruto Might Have To Become Its Jinchuriki
While Naruto Uzumaki is sealed right now, he will have to return eventually, and when he does, he could go on to become the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails, not just for power, but also out of necessity. This would be perfect for the character as not only would it complete a Naruto and Hagoromo parallel, but at the same time, it would ensure Naruto stays at the center of all things in the future. For now, this is still a while away, however, since Naruto Uzumaki hasn't been unsealed yet, and will likely not be released for quite a while.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex's chapter 27 is set for its official release on October 19, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
