The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga has consistently defied reader expectations since its early chapters. Perhaps the biggest surprise has been the notable development of Boruto’s character – not just his changed physical appearance as he ages, but even more so the growth in his personality and abilities.
He has matured into a much more serious and skilled shinobi than his Next Generation counterpart.
As the plot advances, from Sasuke training Boruto to the debut of formidable new jutsu like Rasengun Uzuhiko, it becomes clearer that Boruto is an exceptionally gifted ninja destined to one day surpass established prodigies of the series like Naruto and Sasuke.
He represents a new generation of elite shinobi in the making.
With each chapter, longtime fans witness the steady emergence of a youth possessing the sheer talent to eventually eclipse even the most powerful figures the series has known.
Boruto Surpassing Naruto and Sasuke with Elite Bloodlines
In the world of Naruto, one’s ancestry and bloodline heritage play a pivotal role in shaping a shinobi’s potential.
This helps explain why Boruto is destined to ultimately surpass powerhouses like Sasuke and Naruto – his parentage combines two extraordinarily gifted clans.
As the son of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga, Boruto inherits immense chakra reserves and rapid healing from the Uzumakis as well as the vaunted Byakugan from the Hyugas.
Furthermore, Boruto trained under none other than Sasuke Uchiha himself during the time skip arc, completing a trinity of tutelage spanning the series’ three most legendarily skilled clans.
And importantly, Boruto also possesses some Otsutsuki lineage abilities.
With such a diverse blend of elite shinobi traits from the strongest bloodlines in the Naruto world, Boruto wants nothing, whether it be talent, heritage, upbringing, or determination.
He has all the raw components needed to eventually rise above the top shinobi in the franchise.
Boruto’s Rising Power, The Rasengan Uzuhiko
In the early Two Blue Vortex chapters, readers get a first look at Boruto’s innovative new ninjutsu – the Rasengan Uzuhiko. This jutsu appears to be an augmented variant of the Rasenshuriken, perhaps integrating Boruto’s Otsutsuki abilities into the Rasengan.
However he developed it, the attack proved tremendously powerful. He defeats the presumed next major villain, Code, with a single strike from the Uzuhiko.
This demonstrates the jutsu is extremely overpowered since it cannot even be nullified once activated, only halted by Boruto disengaging it. The Uzuhiko seems to leverage the Earth’s innate chakra, disrupting an opponent’s own chakra network to gradually incapacitate them.
In just these initial glimpses, fans witness Boruto revealing new heights of ingenuity and strength – foreshadowing his future preeminence among shinobi.
Another testament to Boruto’s prodigious talent is his ingenious adaptation of the storied Flying Thunder God technique.
Originally invented by Tobirama and later perfected by Minato Namikaze to earn him the moniker “Yellow Flash”, this space-time ninjutsu allows teleportation between pre-marked locations.
However, Boruto has uniquely modified the jutsu to enable dimensional travel – a feat previously thought impossible.
By reconfiguring the intricate formula governing the Flying Thunder God, Boruto demonstrates intellectual and technical shinobi skills exceeding both of the technique’s legendary previous masters.
With this unprecedented advancement of the Fourth Hokage’s signature jutsu, Boruto firmly establishes himself as the true heir to Minato’s legacy.
It represents further evidence of an unparalleled combination of creativity and ability that may ultimately raise Boruto to unprecedented heights among the franchise’s pantheon of elite ninjas.
Boruto Mastering Sasuke’s Techniques
Chapter 5 of Two Blue Vortex reveals more about Boruto’s intensive training journey with Sasuke during their period of exile.
Sasuke notes that in just three years, Boruto has already assimilated the full breadth of his master’s techniques, from sword skills to fire and lightning-style jutsu.
Furthermore, Boruto receives aid in battle from a sage toad, implying he may have also begun exploring sage techniques.
This rapid ninjutsu comprehension contrasts with Naruto’s early struggles, underscoring Boruto’s innate prodigiousness. Sasuke himself acknowledges Boruto’s brilliance as exceptionally rare, considering him a genius.
By integrating signature moves like Sasuke’s Flying Raijin and his own Uzihiko Rasengan so swiftly, Boruto’s growth mirrors once-in-a-generation shinobi phenoms like Itachi and Minato.
His sheer talent cements expectations that he may rise to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the most legendary ninja in history.
