Boruto: Kishimoto Reveals Boruto Uzumaki's Ultimate Power-Up
Boruto Uzumaki has an ultimate power up in store, one that will make him surpass Naruto.
Overall, in the Naruto series, the strongest ninjas at the end of the story were Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. These two pushed each other to higher levels and eventually, received a gift from the Sage of Six Paths. In the Fourth Great Ninja War, they received Six Paths Powers, and fans knew that they had officially become the strongest shinobi at this point. However, they have now been officially surpassed in Boruto, according to Masashi Kishimoto, the author of the story. The one who has surpassed them is none other than Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto's own son.

Boruto Uzumaki Was Trained By Sasuke And Kashin Koji
- Naruto and Sasuke lost their powers
- Boruto has grown stronger since then
To understand how Boruto Uzumaki has surpassed Naruto and Sasuke, one first has to take a look at the current situation of the ninja world. With the surge in power of the Kara and major revelations surrounding the Otsutsuki, it was a given that Naruto and Sasuke would be put to the test in Boruto, and that's exactly what happened. While they certainly proved their worth, they ended up losing their powers at one point.
Naruto, don't forget, we're not what we used to be. — Sasuke Uchiha
For Naruto Uzumaki, the battle against Isshiki Otsutsuki proved to be vital, as it was here that he had to sacrifice Kurama's power to defeat him. Naruto lost Kurama in this battle and got incredibly weak. Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha also lost his Rinnegan after the battle, thanks to Momoshiki Otsutsuki stabbing his eye. This made it incredibly easy for Boruto Uzumaki to surpass him.

In the timeskip of Boruto, Boruto Uzumaki was trained by Sasuke Uchiha himself for over a year. After Sasuke was incapacitated, Kashin Koji trained Boruto even harder and helped him learn many Jutsu. Over three years later, Boruto Uzumaki is now stronger than ever before, and he's officially surpassed Naruto and Sasuke thanks to his training.

Naruto and Sasuke Are Still Stronger In Their Primes
The Duo Is Untouchable In Strength
It goes without saying that Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are not very strong right now in Boruto. That said, in their primes, they're still unsurpassed. At the peak of his powers, Naruto was far stronger than Boruto is right now, and the same applies to Sasuke Uchiha as well. They're both incredibly strong at their peaks. That's not to say that Boruto Uzumaki cannot reach their level. There is every chance that he can do that. However, at the moment, he still pales in comparison to their prime versions.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 26 is set for its official release on September 20, 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.
