Both Naruto and Boruto are rich with an array of jutsu techniques, yet the debate over which is the most powerful remains open to interpretation. Determining the strongest jutsu involves evaluating its usage, effectiveness, and, importantly, the downsides that users face when employing it across various scenarios.
While the previous series has ceased to introduce new jutsu techniques following its conclusion, the ongoing series of Boruto regularly updates its strongest jutsu with each new introduction. This article showcases five of the most formidable jutsu from both Naruto and Boruto, current as of chapter 15 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
Disclaimer: This article may contain spoilers from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations and Two Blue Vortex, along with the author’s perspective.
Omnipotence and Four Other Powerful Jutsu in Boruto
1) Omnipotence
Considered one of the most powerful jutsu in Boruto, Omnipotence is a shinjutsu technique wielded by Eida. This jutsu grants its user the ability to shape any circumstance according to their desires.
Eida employed this technique in the Omnipotence Incident to swap Kawaki’s life with that of the protagonist. Currently, she lacks full control over this ability, but should she gain it, it could significantly shift the series’ dynamics.
2) Thorn Explosion
Derived from the Reverse Scale technique, Thorn Explosion is a Scientific Ninja Tool technique employed by Kawaki, allowing him to attack foes using his biologically altered arms.
This lethal jutsu was pivotal in his victory against Boro, a member of Kara, and it severely injured the protagonist, establishing it as one of the most impactful and visually striking techniques in Boruto.
3) Rasengan Uzuhiko
Rasengan Uzuhiko is an advanced iteration of the classic Rasengan ninjutsu, utilizing Earth’s centrifugal force as a planetary chakra to unleash a devastating attack. This powerful jutsu was first displayed in Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 2 against Code, proving potent enough to bring him to his knees and later eliminate Hidari.
4) Ten Directions
Similar to Omnipotence, Ten Directions is another shinjutsu that grants its user the foresight of various future timelines. Although this jutsu remains relatively unexplored, it holds immense potential as it has allowed the protagonist to navigate away from disastrous futures. It is utilized by Kashin Koji, whose fate remains enigmatic.
5) The Takami Musubi Family
Employed by Momoshiki Otsutsuki during the Chunin Exams, Takamimusubi no kami stands out as a powerful jutsu that harnesses absorbed techniques, amplified by chakra pills, resulting in destructive capabilities that can obliterate an entire stadium, as evidenced by Momoshiki’s attack at the Chunin venue.
Reaper Death Seal and Four Other Mighty Jutsu from Naruto
1) Reaper Death Seal
The Reaper Death Seal is one of the most formidable jutsu techniques and represents the pinnacle of sealing jutsu. Originating from the Uzumaki clan, this technique summons a death god (shinigami) to perform a sealing ritual on the user’s opponent.
Used notably by Hiruzen (the Third Hokage) and Minato (the Fourth Hokage), this jutsu has successfully sealed powerful foes, including the Nine-tails. However, it comes with the irreversible cost of the user’s life, making it a risk-laden yet mighty technique from Naruto.
2) Infinite Tsukuyomi
As the ultimate genjutsu capable of ensnaring the entire world in a dreamlike illusion while harvesting their chakra to create the chakra fruit, Infinite Tsukuyomi is among Naruto’s mightiest jutsu. It was activated by Madara Uchiha as part of his grand plan to achieve godhood, with the added bonus of having no known drawbacks.
3) Eight Gates Formation: Gate of Death
As the most powerful taijutsu technique, the Eighth Gate of Death amplifies the user’s physical capabilities, causing a surge release of blood pressure, resulting in an overwhelming red aura. Although initially introduced by Might Duy, it was at its pinnacle when utilized by Might Guy against Six Paths Madara, who acknowledged Guy’s strength.
Unfortunately, this jutsu comes at the ultimate price, as the user suffers severe internal damage, leading to death unless treated by a potent healing technique.
4) Edo Tensei
A forbidden technique initially conceived by Tobirama (the Second Hokage), Edo Tensei was promptly deemed banned due to its ability to resurrect the dead. It was rediscovered by Orochimaru and refined by Kabuto, generating an undead army during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
This technique allows resurrection of any deceased individual, granting them a form of immortality, restrictively sealed only by specific sealing jutsu, making it one of the most potent techniques in Naruto.
5) Izanami
Izanami, a powerful genjutsu, allows the user to dictate an opponent’s fate by establishing a starting and concluding point, effectively trapping them in an endless loop of repeating events until they acquiesce to their fate.
It was cleverly utilized by a reincarnated Itachi Uchiha against Kabuto, successfully escaping Edo Tensei through Shisui’s genjutsu while ensconcing Kabuto in Izanami, a move that critically impacted the Fourth Great Ninja War. The primary cost of this technique is that the user permanently loses sight in the eye that casts it.
Conclusion
As observed, Boruto’s jutsu techniques typically lack defined drawbacks, whereas Naruto’s techniques come with clear consequences. This may stem from the fact that Naruto has concluded, allowing the author to fully articulate the implications of each jutsu, whereas Boruto, being an ongoing series, could introduce new limitations or consequences in the future.
