Boruto: Two Blue Vortexis in a very exciting phase right now, with the Shinju now engaging in all-out combat against the strongest shinobi of Konoha. Boruto Uzumaki is already up against Jura, and more exciting battles are to follow soon. However, if there’s one thing that fans know they want to see above all, it is the return of Naruto Uzumaki.
Fans know that Naruto Uzumaki is the heart of the whole franchise, regardless of the series being about his son. His return is heavily anticipated, and when it does happen, fans are wondering if he will get a major new Power-Up that revolves around a Tailed Beast. Of course, Naruto was already a Jinchuriki in the past, so his becoming a Jinchuriki again shouldn’t come as a shock to any fan.
How Naruto Uzumaki Lost His Tailed Beast
Naruto Uzumaki and Kuramahad been together for decades and forged a relationship that the fans absolutely adored. Together, they made each other stronger and their power was such that not even the Otsutsuki could kill them. However, when Isshiki came, Naruto Uzumaki needed a bigger power boost to secure his victory.
Come, Otsutsuki! I’ll show you what true shinobi resolve is! — Naruto Uzumaki to Isshiki
As such, Kurama came up with the idea of using Baryon Mode. In exchange for receiving great power, Naruto Uzumaki and Kurama would lose their lives slowly, and eventually die. While Naruto was able to overwhelm Isshiki completely, as well as secure his death, Kurama lost his life in the process. Since then, Naruto Uzumaki has been without a Tailed Beast, and more than that, fans have seen him be helpless on many occasions, such as the battle against Code. It is quite clear to see that Naruto Uzumaki needs a big power-up, and soon.
Why Kishimoto Could Give Naruto Another Tailed Beast
Kurama Has Already Been Reborn
For the longest time, fans were holding on to the idea that Kurama and Naruto would reunite at some point later down the line inBoruto: Two Blue Vortex. However, the idea came crashing down when it was revealed thatKurama was actually reborn inside Himawari Uzumakithrough some means. In other words, Himawari is now Kurama’s Jinchuriki, which means Naruto Uzumaki cannot gain access to his powers, unfortunate as that may be. However, that also doesn’t mean that Naruto can’t gain access to Tailed Beast power.
Don’t die and follow me too early, Naruto. — Kurama
In fact,Kishimoto has already established a solid basefor Naruto to attain Tailed Beast powers in multiple ways. For one, Naruto can seek out the remaining Tailed Beasts in the world and then ask them for their chakra once again. He has already formed a bond with them once in the past.
But, more than that, there is one Tailed Beast that Naruto can take the powers of in the future, and that is the Ten-Tails. Currently, the Shinju are shown to have evolved from the Ten Tails. Eventually, however, they will have to be dealt with in one way or another. The Ten-Tails itself might be reborn when the Shinju do get beaten, and at that point, someone will have to seal the Ten-Tails away. The best way to do it was already shown by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who sealed it inside himself. Naruto could do something similar and become the next Sage of Six Paths.
How Strong Will Naruto Be?
With the power of the Ten-Tails, Naruto Uzumaki would be incredibly powerful. In fact, beating Naruto would be practically impossible and he would also be worthy of leading Konoha once again. It would also mean that Naruto Uzumaki could once again get involved in all the actionalongside his son, Boruto Uzumaki, Sarada, and even Kawaki, and that is very exciting to think about.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 23 is set for its official release on June 30, 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 theManga Plusand the Shonen Jump apps.
