Boruto: Kishimoto Hints At Naruto Uzumaki's New Strongest Transformation

All the fans of Boruto are eagerly waiting for the return of Naruto Uzumaki in the second part of the story, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. This story has been absolutely sensational so far, but if there's one element that's missing, it is the presence of Naruto Uzumaki, the man who is, quite easily, the most iconic in the Naruto franchise. Fans know that Naruto is extremely important, and it would be naive to assume that the authors don't know it as well.

At some point, Naruto Uzumaki has to return, and when he does, fans will want to see him engage in high-level combat once again. Fans might be confused by how Kishimoto and Ikemoto will work around this issue after the loss of Kurama, but it appears that Naruto is already being set up to get even stronger. Based on what the author has set up, Naruto Uzumaki will gain a new form in Boruto that could surpass even Baryon Mode.

Naruto Uzumaki Will Return Stronger Than Ever In Two Blue Vortex

Naruto Might Absorb Jura In Boruto

• Jura is invested in Naruto Uzumaki
• Naruto needs a replacement for Kurama

Fans might be wondering what's next for Naruto Uzumaki after the loss of Kurama. Naruto losing Kurama was a decision that some felt was way too bold and others outright disagreed with. The fact is, however, that it happened. What's even more saddening is the fact that Kurama and Naruto won't reunite, thanks to the fact that he is now one with Himawari.

That aside, fans also know that Naruto has to return to prominence in one way or another. Kishimoto and Ikemoto seem to have revealed the answer to the problem already, and it seems that his next form is going to be tied to Jura, one of the Shinju. As fans know very well, Jura is a special character known to be the incarnation of the Ten-Tails. In simple words, he's the essence of the Ten Tails taken humanoid form, which is why he's stronger than even Hidari. But, at the same time, fans also know that every Shinju has a Thorn Soul Bulb. Usually, the Shinju can be killed but the Bulb remains. This bulb holds the DNA of the person they're created from. But, Jura is different, as he's the Ten-Tails itself.

Clearly, only two options exist for Jura. Either someone will have to take his Thorn Soul Bulb and become one with him, or he will keep being reborn like the Tailed Beasts infinitely. The first option seems way more viable and that's where Naruto Uzumaki ties into all this.

Naruto Uzumaki Could Become A Human Tailed Beast Like Himawari

Naruto Will Likely Gain a New Transformation

Right now, there is nobody in Boruto who will willingly take Jura. But, Naruto Uzumaki, upon his return, surely can. Naruto can't let the Ten Tails free, and he wouldn't want to erase it from existence either. The easiest and best way is to absorb his Thorn Soul Bulb, and give him space inside his body.

If Naruto fuses with Jura, then he will become a Human Tailed Beast, just like Himawari. He will be the incarnation of the Ten Tails, and that would actually make him stronger than ever before in the story. Naruto would gain access to a new form, likely the Ten Tails form, and if that were to happen, fans would absolutely love it.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 26 is set for its official release on September 20, 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 the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
