Minato Namikaze, Naruto’s father, sealed half of Kurama inside him when he was born to protect the village from the Nine-Tail’s rampage and prevent its power from falling into the wrong hands. Viewers are familiar with Naruto’s struggle in his younger days while taming the beast inside him. Unlike his parents, Naruto wasn’t a prodigy.
However, he surpassed them in more than one way. There have been several discussions in the community that Naruto would only be as strong with the powers of the Nine-Tailed Fox within him. The majority of people argue that he is the weakest in his family. Boruto and Minato are way stronger than him without having to rely on any external source of power. With that being said, Naruto is still a strong shinobi.
How strong is Naruto without the nine-tailed fox?
Without the Nine-Tailed Fox, Naruto is still a prominent shinobi. He has massive reservoirs of Chakra and is capable of summoning over a thousand shadow clones, which by no means is an easy task. He fully mastered the Sage Mode and has some of the most potent techniques in his arsenal, such as the Rasengan and Rasenshuriken. As a matter of fact, Naruto excels at taijutsu skills, and it’s clear that even without the power of the Kurama, he remains one of the strongest shinobi in the entire series.
How strong are Minato Namikaze and Boruto Uzumaki compared to Naruto?
Minato used the other half of Kurama during the Fourth Great Ninja War without any prior training, which implies the potential this man had. He was named the “Yellow Flash” after he took down thousands of enemy ninjas and was feared among the other nations.
Minato was quite a strong shinobi without hailing from a significant clan like the Uzumaki or Uchiha. He didn’t have the powers of the Nine-Tailed and was known to be the fastest shinobi alive. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, he claimed his Sage Mode wasn’t as good as Naruto’s.
Boruto has a vast plethora of techniques up his sleeve, including variations of the Rasengan, the unique Jōgan eye, and even Momoshiki’s Kāma. Fan speculated from the third chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex that he is capable of Sage Mode and teleportation abilities.
Without Momoshiki’s Karma Seal, Boruto would still be an excellent ninja with an arsenal packed with Uzuhiko Rasengan, Vanishing Rasengan, and Jōgan eye. In the third chapter of the Boruto Two Blue Vortex, he beats Code without even breaking a sweat, which implies how powerful he has become and as the story progresses, he’ll outshine his father.
