In the current story arc ofBoruto: Two Blue Vortex, the world is at the mercy of yet another powerful villain that unexpectedly comes into being. Jura, the leader of the Humanoid God Trees, continues his reign of terror, challenging even the most powerful ninja of the previous generation. However, if there’s anyone strong enough to defeat the enemy and save the world, fans know that it’s Naruto Uzumaki, except it’s not his story anymore.
Unfortunately, Naruto remains sealed inBoruto: Two Blue Vortex, and there are no signs he’ll get out anytime soon. But assuming he becomes a free man, could Naruto be strong enough to overpower Jura at his current strength? He lost Kurama to Isshiki Otsutsuki a while back, and it’s obvious that he’s not at his peak strength anymore. Still, fans know that Naruto remains a powerful character who holds the potential to defeat even the most unbeatable villains.
How Strong Is Jura Now?
Jura’s Strength in Two Blue Vortex
Before discussing Jura’s powers, let’s first trace his roots and the reason why he came into being inBoruto: Two Blue Vortex. As revealed, Jura is thedirect incarnation of the juvenile Ten-Tails, which has sustained Jigen’s chakra supply for so many years. He is built differently from the rest of the humanoid God Trees, acting as their leader who encourages them to surrender and follow their instincts.
From what theBorutomanga has shown, it’s clear that Code did something to the Ten-Tails that awakened its awareness, resulting in the existence of Jura and his kind. Thanks to this, the true horrors of the Ten Tails are currently endangering the world throughJura and the other shinju clones. Kurama’s warnings finally came true, as the Ten-Tails gained sentience, making Jura and his kind a force to be reckoned with.
It’s a bad habit, but fighting strong opponents like you makes my heart dance with joy.—Jura to Boruto
ManyBorutocharacters fearJura and the power he holds. In particular, Kashin Koji strongly advised Boruto and the rest of Konoha to avoid angering Jura at all costs. If it comes down to a fight, there’s a one in a million chance of winning against him. After all, they would be fighting a sentient incarnation of the Ten-Tails, whose power continues to grow stronger with each passing day.
So far, Jura has proven his strength over and over again. In his manga debut, he pitied Boruto and allowed him to escape despite knowing he could easily kill him at that time. He made a clown out of Code, who fans know is stronger than Jigen. Additionally, he possesses dual Rinnegan, canutilize Hashirama-level wood release, fire a miniature Bijuu bomb with deadly precision from a long distance, and has outstanding regenerative abilities. He even overpowered Himawari’s jinchuriki transformation, collecting impressive feats one after another in such a short amount of time.
Could Naruto Win Against Jura?
Jura Could Easily Hold the Upper Hand
At this point, it’s pretty obvious that Jura could easily overpower Naruto when it comes down to a fight. It may be a more difficult question to answerif Naruto could still use Baryon Modeagainst Jura, considering it can overpower even the likes of Isshiki Otsutsuki and make him fear for his life. However, that is still up for discussion, as Baryon Mode remains a double-edged sword. Unless Naruto unlocks a new power or transformation far superior to Baryon Mode, he may have a chance of winning against Jura. On the other hand, even Sasuke would not be able to outmaneuver Jura alone, knowing he had to work with Naruto to fight against Jigen, and they still ended up losing.
Otsutsuki Boruto, I believe you know this already, but I have come here to kill you.—Jura to Boruto
Who Could Defeat Jura?
As the plot unfolds, Boruto and Kawaki might be the only ones who could fight toe-to-toe with Jura and have a slim chance of defeating him. By working together, they may win against their common enemy, as their individual strengths pale in comparison to Jura’s. EvenBoruto admitted he needed Kawaki’s helpto defeat the Humanoid God Trees, which speaks volumes about Jura’s strength.
For now, Jura remainsthe strongest villain Borutoand Kawaki need to take down as soon as possible. It is up to the next generation to defeat a powerful villain without the help of the previous generation that carried the weight of the world in the past. Whoever becomes Jura’s killer is up for discussion, but one thing remains clear inBoruto: Jura will be defeated no matter what happens.
