This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.
Boruto has been on quite a sensational run as of late, and with the beginning of a new arc, Kishimoto has introduced the fans properly to some very exciting villains. As fans know, the focus of the story at this point in time is none other than Mamushi. He is one of the Shinju who desire to evolve even further by consuming specific targets. With Mamushi being the main villain of the arc, it is a given that his abilities are being focused on, and it is quite clear that he is incredibly overpowered.
Boruto: A Shinobi Stronger Than Even Naruto Is Already Confirmed By Kishimoto
Naruto Uzumaki is one of the strongest characters in the Naruto and Boruto series. Kishimoto reveals a Shinobi even stronger than him.
In fact, Kishimoto and Ikemoto have both now confirmed that Mamushi's strength is such that it surpasses the power level of Naruto Uzumaki. If he continues to evolve, then he will quite clearly become the strongest character in the entire Naruto franchise, and that is truly scary to imagine.
Kishimoto Confirms Mamushi Is Stronger Than Naruto
Naruto Uzumaki possessed godly levels of strength at the end of the Naruto series, and even at the beginning of the Boruto series. With the power of Kurama and the abilities of the Six Paths, he was almost unbeatable in combat. However, Naruto is not the same person anymore. He has lost all these powers and was sealed away by Kawaki. On the other hand, Mamushi is continuously growing stronger. Mamushi possesses an ability very similar to Naruto Uzumaki.
Mamushi's ability is simple, but it's very powerful. You need to be careful about how to deal with him. — Kashin Koji to Shikamaru
Just as Naruto had the power of Shadow Clones, Mamushi can divide himself. However, in his case, all the clones are actually real and don't even split the chakra levels or the power levels of his body. This makes his technique far better than Naruto's. The only downside of his power is that the more he splits, the dumber he gets.
Mamushi has a dangerous ability. He can multiply as much as he wants, and each copy is the real deal, not like Shadow Clones. — Kashin Koji
That aside, based on the future that Kashin Koji saw, it is quite clear that Mamushi goes on to consume his target, Eida, and this is a big deal. If Mamushi goes on to consume her, this means that he will gain the powers of Omnipotence, which is the most powerful Shinjutsu of all. With this power, he can essentially do whatever he wants, especially if he learns to control it. This basically puts him beyond the power level of even Boruto and Kawaki, let alone Naruto.
Mamushi Can Evolve And Destroy The World
Mamushi getting his hands on Eida means gaining the most dangerous ability in the entire world and being strong enough to destroy the planet itself. He might even grow stronger than Jura if that is the case. For now, fans don't know if he will truly be able to consume Eida or not, given the fact that the future itself can be changed. But, the trajectory that the story is headed in is very dangerous.
Masashi Kishimoto Reveals The New Strongest Jutsu In Boruto
Boruto features many overpowered Jutsu, and a new one has just been revealed.
Let's try to change the future and create a world where Eida and Himawari don't have to die. — Kashin Koji to Inojin
Mamushi Isn't Comparable To Jura Right Now
Mamushi being stronger than Naruto should not come as a surprise to any fan. Even without Eida's powers, all the Shinju are confirmed to be stronger than Code, who himself is stronger than Jigen, who beat both Naruto and Sasuke at once. It shouldn't be a surprise for the fans to see Mamushi in his basic form being stronger than Naruto. But, if he manages to evolve, then he will become a truly massive threat.
It's a bad habit, but fighting strong opponents like you makes my heart dance with joy.—Jura to Boruto
In his current form, Mamushi is not strong enough to even hold a candle to Jura, the strongest of the Shinju. Of course, that could greatly change as the story continues, but for now, Jura remains the strongest character alive in the series, and it will be interesting to see how Kishimoto handles him.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex's chapter 29 is set for its official release on December 18, 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.
