Highlights

  • Naruto Uzumaki's strength has diminished over the years, making him vulnerable to new, more powerful characters in Boruto.
  • Characters like Mitsuki, Rock Lee, and Delta are now shown to be stronger than Naruto due to their unique abilities and skills.
  • The emergence of powerful new characters like Code and Boruto himself prove that Naruto is no longer the mightiest character in the Boruto universe.

In Boruto, Naruto Uzumaki is the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure and one of the strongest shinobi to have ever lived. At his peak, he was the mightiest character in this entire universe and could easily take on even the likes of the Otsutsuki aliens without much trouble. During the final arcs of Naruto and the opening chapters of Boruto, the iconic character could be trusted to challenge pretty much anyone who poses a treat to the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Five Kage In Boruto, Ranked By Strength
The Five Kage are some of the most powerful characters in Boruto.

Sadly, Naruto has weakened quite a lot in recent years, especially after losing Kurama, his Tailed Beasts. As such, a lot of Boruto characters are much stronger than the Seventh Hokage despite him having held legendary prowess in combat once.

Updated on February 20, 2024, by Rei Penber: In the world of Boruto, fans have seen quite a lot of powerful characters emerge as of late. This is more true now after the timeskip that took place in the series as, now, more powerful villains have emerged. These powerful villains have played an important role in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex already and they will most definitely make a mark in the story later down the line as well. While this list already goes over the vast majority of the characters stronger than Naruto Uzumaki in Boruto, there are others that have recently been introduced that far surpass him in terms of strength as well. With that, this list has now officially been updated.

This List Isn't Ranked

17 Mitsuki (Post Timeskip)

User Of Sage Transformation

Mitsuki boruto two blue vortex

Mitsuki is a synthetically created human that fans know to be very powerful. He was blessed with the best abilities by Orochimaru, including Sage Transformation. Mitsuki has access to Snake Sage Mode and this makes him quite powerful.

After the timeskip, Mitsuki has become incredibly powerful. In fact, he was even able to give Boruto Uzumaki a run for his money in a fight, which suggests high-level usage of these powers. Mitsuki has some of the most overpowered abilities up his sleeve and if he is able to rival Boruto in combat, then there is no doubt that he can rival Naruto Uzumaki as well and potentially even defeat him, given that he no longer has Kurama.

16 Rock Lee

A Hard Worker

Rock Lee grown up in Boruto

Rock Lee is one of Konoha's strongest ninjas at the moment. As a child, he was deemed unfit to be a shinobi because he did not possess the ability to use ninjutsu or genjutsu, however, Rock Lee excelled at the usage of taijutsu and has, over the years, become a master of the skill. As an adult, he has surpassed even Might Guy the very same person who gave Madara Uchiha a headache during the 4th Great Ninja War.

Rock Lee is capable of opening all the Eight Inner Gates. This exponentially increases his physical strength and would allow him to fight even Otsutsuki-level threats. When compared to Naruto Uzumaki, Rock Lee is simply head and shoulders above him in terms of power, given that he's utilizing all the Eight Inner Gates.

15 Delta

A Member of Kara

Delta from Boruto

Delta is a member of the Kara organization that was created by none other than Jigen, the leader. Just like every other member of the Kara, Delta was worked upon by Amado. In fact, Amado created Delta in an attempt to bring his daughter back to life and was the very first person genetically engineered with scientific ninja technology by him.

Naruto: What Happened to Sasuke’s Sword of Kusanagi?
Sasuke's sword is quite mysterious, changing many times throughout the series.

Delta possesses tremendous power, as was seen when she took on Naruto Uzumaki in combat. She was able to push him to Six Paths Sage Mode and even then, she was able to injure him severely and push him on the back foot. Now that Naruto does not have Kurama with him anymore, he cannot access the power of the Six Paths. As much, Delta certainly has an edge over him and would easily defeat him and combat.

14 Sasuke Uchiha

Naruto's Rival

Sasuke is one of the mightiest shinobi in the Boruto world and was known to be Naruto's equal once. Although he also got weaker in recent years by losing his Rinnegan, nowadays, Sasuke could potentially have an edge over Naruto in combat.

How Much Has Boruto Changed Since Season 1?
Boruto Uzumaki has grown a lot since the beginning of the anime. Here's how he's matured, and what fans can expect going forward.

This is due to the fact that he still has access to his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye. Furthermore, Sasuke should still be able to access the power of the Susanoo, meaning he's got more tricks up his sleeve the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure. Currently, he could very well be stronger than Naruto in combat.

13 Kashin Koji

A Jiraiya Copy

Kashin Koji was created by Amado as a genetic template of Jiraiya in his very prime. His body was further enhanced by the scientist with ninja technology to make him a monster in combat.

At his best, Koji could take on Jigen in combat with rather ease and hold his ground against him. When using Sage Mode, he could overpower Jigen and, what's more, even hold his own against Isshiki Otsutsuki when he revived. Kashin Koji, with all the strength he has up his sleeve, is certainly stronger than Naruto at the moment.

12 10 Tails

A Dangerous Power

10 tails

The threat of the 10 Tails was ever present in the Naruto series and it exists in Boruto as well. In the world of Boruto, the 10 Tails is believed to be incredibly dangerous, so much so that Boruto Uzumaki believes that it will bring the end of the entire world and that no one can stop it. The 10 Tails is currently in Code's possession. He has used it to create Grimes previously and he's also absorbed its power, just like Jigen once did.

Fans know how strong the 10 Tails is and a glimpse of its power was given to the fans during the 4th Great Ninja War. This beast is tremendously strong, capable of wiping out the entire planet if it so wishes. Clearly, this entity is stronger than Naruto Uzumaki. At one point, Naruto might have been able to fight against the 10 Tails and its cataclysmic power, however, now, Naruto doesn't have it in him to stand up to this beast and pull off a victory. It is quite clear that Naruto Uzumaki stands absolutely no chance and is weaker than the 10 Tails.

11 Code

A White Karma user

code boruto chapter 72

Code is the strongest character in Boruto right now. Like Kawaki, he was given a Karma by Jigen, however, he ended up becoming a failure and gained a White Karma. This anomaly, however, made him much stronger than even Jigen himself.

For this reason, Code had limiters installed on his body which have finally been removed by Amado in the recent Boruto chapters. Now, he's stronger than any other character alive and can easily crush the likes of Naruto in combat. Code's strength is only going to grow more with time and eventually, could even go higher than Isshiki Otsutsuki himself.

10 Momoshiki Otsutsuki

A Member of the Otsutsuki

boruto momoshiki otsutsuki

Momoshiki Otsutsuki still exists in the world of Boruto. Initially, he appeared as the first proper villain in the Boruto series. He was incredibly strong and fighting him required the combined effort of both Naruto and Sasuke. Momoshiki was defeated by the collective effort of Naruto, Sasuke, and Boruto. It was Boruto Uzumaki who struck the final blow and, as a result of that, Momoshiki decided to make him his vessel before he died, setting up a contingency plan for resurrection.

Momoshiki is currently inside Boruto's body, still hoping to take over it one day. Even before dying, he was stronger than Naruto, which explains why Naruto had to combine his strength with that of Sasuke to stand a chance against him in combat. Now that Naruto has lost Kurama, there is absolutely no doubt that Momo should be far superior to him. When Momoshiki is in Boruto's body, he's far greater than Naruto Uzumaki in every aspect of battle.

9 Daemon

Eida's Younger Brother

Daemon in Boruto

One of the newly introduced characters in Boruto, Daemon is the younger brother of Eida and, although a boy, he has tremendous skill up his sleeve. While he isn't all that proficient in combat, he has an incredible power that allows him to reflect anything thrown at him back to his opponents, even if he is unaware of the incoming attack.

With this power, he can take on anyone in combat and kill them without even lifting a finger. For someone like Naruto Uzumaki, taking on Daemon in combat certainly won't be easy, especially when Amado mentioned him being stronger than even Jigen.

8 Eida

User of Omnipotence

Boruto Chapter 72 Eida

Just like Daemon, Eida is one of the newly introduced characters in Boruto. She was also created by Amado and her abilities are known to be greater than those of Jigen's in combat, which already makes her a much bigger threat than Naruto. Along with that, Eida is especially hard to take on in combat, especially because she has the power to make anyone be infatuated with her, regardless of their sex.

Those who fall in her trap simply end up doing whatever she says, making her ability extremely dangerous for anyone to cope with. It goes without saying that Naruto would find Eida extremely difficult to take on in combat.

7 Kawaki (Post-Timeskip)

Boruto's Rival

Kawaki has also grown tremendously in terms of strength after the timeskip of Boruto. Although, initially, Kawaki was not as strong as Naruto, following the death of Kurama, he gained access to karma as a pure source of energy without being a vessel, as seen at the end of Boruto Part 1. Kawaki has now reached the next level in terms of power as well as skill. After the 3-year timeskip, he has fully mastered all powers of Isshiki Otsutsuki.

This means Kawaki is now on the same level as Isshiki and fans already know that the power that he holds is far greater than anything Naruto has in his arsenal. While it is hard to admit, Naruto is outclassed by quite a lot of characters in Boruto and Kawaki is also one of them.

6 Boruto Uzumaki (Post-Timeskip)

Naruto's Son

After the timeskip, Boruto Uzumaki is quite clearly one of the strongest characters in the entire series. Boruto has spent the last 3 years training with powerful characters such as Sasuke and potentially even Koji. He has gotten incredibly powerful to the point where he might be the strongest in the entire world right now. Boruto gave the fans a display of his strength when he clashed against Code in Konoha. In fact, Boruto clearly mentioned to Code that defeating him is way too easy.

This is a clear indication of the fact that his strength is on an entirely different level right now. It must be remembered that Code has had his potential unlocked and far surpasses even Jigen in terms of strength. The same Jigen was able to defeat both Naruto and Sasuke together. The fact that Boruto can easily beat a character as strong as him just goes to show that he's stronger than Naruto as well. In the fight against Code, it was clear that he was far superior to him in terms of skill and power. Boruto dismantled him within a matter of seconds and could have easily killed him if he so wished.

5 Bug’s Clone

A Powerful Manifestation Of The God Tree

Recently, in the Boruto TBV manga, fans got to see the emergence of the God Tree clones. These God Tree clones are known to be incredibly powerful, and all of them possess strength that far surpasses that of Naruto Uzumaki. Bug’s clone, although unnamed at this point, has enough strength in him to overwhelm Boruto Uzumaki after the timeskip.

He is incredibly powerful, with the power of the God Tree inside him and a fully functioning Rinnegan. With such power, it is no surprise for the fans to see that he surpasses Naruto in terms of strength. His target is none other than Eida and when he gets to battle her later down the line, fans will see his true power.

4 Matsuri

The Clone Of Moegi

Matsuri was recently injured as a God Tree clone in Boruto and her strength is quite impressive. She is the clone of Moegi from Konoha and fans know her to be a very powerful individual.

Obviously, Matsuri possesses the power of the God Tree, which means she is reinforced with 10 tails chakra. On top of that, she has access to two Rinnegan, which makes her a force to be reckoned with. She also has access to all of Moegi’s powers, which means she can also utilize Earth Release, Water Release, and of course, the combination of the two, Wood Release.

3 Jura

The Clone of An Unknown Individual

Isshiki clone shinju boruto part 6

One of the strongest of the God tree clones that fans were recently introduced to in Boruto, Jura is an interesting individual about whom not much is known at the moment. While most of the God Tree clones have a parent body that fans already know, Jura remains to be a mystery. He does appear to be quite similar to Isshiki in terms of appearance and there might be some connection between the two.

Regardless, what fans know is he is quite powerful. He appears to be one of the strongest of the new God Tree clones. He possesses unknown abilities up his sleeve, given that fans do not know who he is based off of. That said, fans do know that he possesses 10 Tails chakra inside of him and that he has access to the Rinnegan. He intends to kill and consume Naruto Uzumaki, which means that he can access the dimension of Sukunahikona.

2 Hidari

The Clone Of Sasuke

Sasuke clone hidari boruto tbv

Hidari is the God Tree clone of none other than Sasuke Uchiha. After Sasuke was bitten by one of the Claw Grimes, a clone of his was born and this clone bears all the powers that Sasuke possesses. This means that this clone has access to Sasuke's jutsu, and at the same time, it is enforced with 10 Tails Chakra. The clone also has access to two Rinnegan.

When combining all that with the powers that Sasuke already possesses, it is not hard to see why this clone is as powerful as it is. In combat, this clone would easily overpower and defeat Naruto Uzumaki. Hidari would easily defeat both Naruto and Sasuke at the same time, without even so much as breaking a sweat. Fans will get to see him fight later down the line, given that he has already decided to attack Sarada.

1 Shibai Otsutsuki

The Strongest Character

Shibai Otsutsuki Karma

Shibai Otsutsuki is one of the strongest members of the Otsutsuki clan in the Naruto franchise. The character was recently introduced to the fans in the ongoing arc and was mentioned by none other than Amado. According to him, Otsutsuki Shibai existed long ago and consumed several chakra fruits.

Eventually, his power reached a point where he ascended to godhood. Many believe Otsutsuki Shibai to be dead, however, it is theorized that he ascended to a different plane of existence and is still alive and well. His powers were known to be a force of nature and exist in a class of their own. Shibai Otsutsuki is, by far, the strongest character to ever appear in the story and, for him, dealing with someone as strong as Naruto wouldn't be an issue at all. Even if Naruto had not lost Kurama, his powers would still be inferior to Shibai Otsutsuki.
