Next-Generation Shinobi Reaching Kage-Level in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga has showcased a significant power leap among its next-generation ninja, with several characters now demonstrating abilities comparable to, and even surpassing, those of the Kage – the leaders of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. This represents a shift from the potential hinted at in the earlier parts of the series to a full realization of that power.

What Defines a Kage?

The title of Kage is reserved for the leader of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries’ hidden villages. A Kage oversees all village activities, including mission assignments and critical decisions regarding the safety of their people .

Next-Generation Ninjas Achieving Kage-Level

8. Mitsuki

Mitsuki is currently one of Konoha’s strongest ninja. After the timeskip, he has fully mastered his Sage Transformation, allowing him to contend with even Boruto Uzumaki in combat. His potential is considered greater than that of his creator, Orochimaru, a former Kage, solidifying his position above the average Kage-level ninja.

7. Shinki

As Gaara’s adoptive son, Shinki represents the future of Sunagakure. He possesses immense talent and controls Iron Sand using the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, a powerful ability that even allowed him to briefly challenge the Shinju. Though he sacrificed his life to save Gaara, his performance demonstrates Kage-level capabilities.

6. Delta

Formerly a member of the Kara Inners, Delta is now a valuable asset to Konoha. Her strength stems from scientific technology, including powerful beams emitted from her eyes and the ability to absorb chakra. She demonstrated the ability to hold her own against Six Paths Naruto Uzumaki, placing her far above Kage-level.

5. Eida

Like Delta, Eida has spent three years in Konoha and is now considered a shinobi of the village. She wields the Senrigan, allowing her to witness anything, anywhere, even in the past. Her Shinjutsu, known as Omnipotence, makes her nearly invincible, as most individuals fall in love with her unless they are a blood relative or an Otsutsuki. Her overall combat prowess is stated to be greater than Jigen’s, making her a shinobi far above the level of the Kage.

4. Sarada Uchiha

Sarada Uchiha is a formidable force in the current Boruto: Two Blue Vortex storyline. She has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and the ability Ohirume, a powerful black hole-based technique. She can even threaten the Shinju with her black holes, establishing her as a Kage-level ninja with continued growth potential.

3. Kawaki

Over the timeskip, Kawaki has mastered the powers of his Karma, granting him access to the abilities of Isshiki Otsutsuki. He possesses tremendous strength and utilizes Sukunahikona and Daikokuten through his Kokugan, placing him far above the level of the Kage.

2. Boruto Uzumaki

Boruto Uzumaki has experienced significant development after the timeskip, training under Sasuke and Kashin Koji. He can now defeat Code with ease and even fight against the Shinju, utilizing the power of his mastered Otsutsuki Karma. This places him well above the level of the Five Kage.

1. Daemon

Daemon is widely considered the strongest of the next generation. As the younger brother of Eida, he possesses Shinjutsu and combat capabilities surpassing even Jigen. His Shinjutsu allows him to reflect any attack, including killing intent, making him nearly impossible to defeat. He is a shinobi far above the average Kage level.

The Rise of the Shinju

The current arc of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex focuses on the Shinju, sentient God Trees formed after the Claw Grimes bit non-Otsutsuki, inheriting the powers and chakra signatures of those they absorbed . The Shinju, including Jura, Hidari, Matsuri, and Mamushi, currently seek to devour Boruto .
