In recent weeks, the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga has stood out thanks to its interesting plot. In particular, the recent chapter revealed Uchiha Sasuke’s fate after the timeskip.
This chapter is important, because in addition to showing what happened between Sasuke and Boruto during the timeskip, it also reveals Sasuke’s surprising transformation into a tree. This event took place after it was revealed that Sasuke, even without the Rinnegan, was stronger than Naruto after the Seventh Hokage lost Kurama.
The power of Naruto and Sasuke at the beginning of Boruto
At the beginning of “Boruto”, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were considered the strongest shinobi in the world. They were at the peak of their abilities. When facing Momoshiki, both of them proved extremely strong.
However, the level of this power has changed throughout the series. Naruto, using Baryon Mode against Isshiki, reached unprecedented levels of power, surpassing Sasuke and Isshiki. He became the strongest person in the ninja world at that time, but at the cost of losing Kurama, causing Naruto’s strength to decrease significantly afterward.
Naruto and Sasuke lost their powers
Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke face a significant loss of power in the Boruto series. To defeat Isshiki, Naruto uses Baryon Mode, but ends up losing Kurama, while Sasuke loses his Rinnegan in his battle with Momoshiki.
Both lost access to key Six Paths abilities acquired during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Naruto’s loss is more significant, as he can no longer access Kurama chakra mode. While Sasuke still retains one of his eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, preserving many of his powerful abilities.
Timeskip confirms Sasuke is stronger than Naruto
During the Boruto timeskip, Sasuke demonstrated a surprising increase in power in his fight against Code, the main antagonist after Isshiki. Code is stronger than Jigen, but when facing Sasuke he is still weak. Sasuke seriously injured Code and had to face the Claw Grimes army.
Even though Sasuke was eventually turned into a tree, his performance still showed a significant improvement in both ability and strength compared to before. At the same time, it proves that after losing his power, Sasuke became stronger than his friend Naruto.
With the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke can use Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi, in addition to summoning Susanoo. He can also perform many other jutsu thanks to his Rinnegan eye.
Sasuke’s ability to fight against Code also demonstrates his physical and strategic advancement. These factors show that Sasuke, after his defeats, has surpassed Naruto in terms of strength.
