Naruto Uzumaki reached the height of his power after the events of the Fourth Great Ninja War and eventually became the Seventh Hokage of Konoha in Boruto era. Naruto Uzumaki stands tall as one of the strongest ninjas in history; however, Boruto the series came with several nerfs that severely limited his fighting abilities. In Boruto Chapter 55, Naruto Uzumaki officially lost Kurama on January 9, 2024.
With his greatest source of power lost, Naruto Uzumaki must now turn to other abilities to keep up with the strongest in the current era. While one might assume that Naruto is too weak to compete with those at the top of the current era, the Seventh Hokage actually has some powerful new jutsu that can help him defeat even the most overpowered villains with a single hit.
After the Loss Of Kurama, Naruto's new strongest Jutsu is the Super Ultra Big Ball Rasengan
When Naruto had Uzumaki Kurama, he had access to a plethora of incredibly powerful techniques. Using the power of Six Paths Sage Mode, Naruto was able to incorporate the Tailed Beasts' chakra into his abilities to create powers such as the Six Paths: Lava Release Rasenshuriken, which he used in the battle against Delta in Boruto Chapter 32 which was released on February 25, 2019. Naruto could also use incredibly powerful jutsu such as Baryon Mode which debuted in Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes Chapter 51 on October 20, 2020.

With such incredible abilities, Naruto Uzumaki was practically unstoppable, but after losing Kurama, he had to hone his other skills. Right now, Naruto Uzumaki's abilities have been greatly enhanced by using the new Sage Mode, which was officially confirmed in Boruto Chapter 64 on November 19, 2021.
Utilizing this incredibly powerful Sage Mode, Naruto Uzumaki can use his new strongest jutsu, the Ultra Super Ultra Big Ball Rasengan. This new jutsu first debuted in the battle against Delta in Boruto Chapter 33 on March 25, 2019. While Naruto's Rasengan has always been absolutely massive, the Super Ultra Big Ball Rasengan is the most powerful and largest he has ever created. The fact that she was able to overpower Delta's chakra absorption and essentially bring her to the brink of death means that this technique can work even on individuals of Otsutsuki's level.
Shikamaru: Naruto, you can't keep this transformation for long, can you?
Naruto: Don't worry! My Sage Mode is much better than before. Let's call it the gift of wisdom.

While Naruto may appear weak on the outside, the fact remains that he has yet to participate in a high level fight since losing Kurama. That said, his power level might surprise us when it's revealed later. With abilities like the Super Ultra Big Ball Rasengan, Naruto was able to take down Delta, meaning characters like Kinshiki should fall for this technique as well. Others, such as the Code, are unlikely to survive this technique either, making it a terrifying ability that Naruto wields with great precision.

Naruto's huge chakra reserve can still kill most enemies in one hit
Despite having lost Kurama's power, Naruto Uzumaki still has huge chakra reserves. This is because of his Uzumaki bloodline, which is known to be particularly strong, but also because Kurama's chakra has been assimilated into Naruto's over the years. Even though Kurama is no longer there, the chakra exists as Naruto's own, and while he has certainly taken a hit in terms of his chakra reserves, what he has is still far greater than the vast majority of shinobi in existence. With such massive chakra reserves, Naruto Uzumaki can still create thousands and thousands of clones and use techniques like the Super Ultra Big Ball Rasengan.

At the same time, he might be able to use a barrage version of this technique that will ensure that even the strongest enemies will not stand in his way, especially when powered by his newly enhanced Sage mode. WITH Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes The return of Naruto Uzumaki, which is now approaching its most interesting parts, is now also on the horizon. This return means that he will once again have the opportunity to fight on the front lines against powerful enemies such as the Otsutsuki and Shinju, if any still survive. These battles will give Naruto the opportunity to use his most powerful jutsu with immense precision, and that's something we absolutely can't wait for.

Why Naruto's upgraded Sage Mode can give him even more powerful Jutsu
A very interesting thing is that Naruto Uzumaki's Sage Mode is incredibly powerful right now. He officially upgraded the technique, increasing its time limit while improving its overall performance level. When Naruto returns, his Sage Art Jutsu will be on a whole other level. Since he has now fully mastered the Five Nature Transformations, Naruto can also use techniques that Jiraiya once used, such as the Sage Art: Bath of Boiling Oil. Similarly, Naruto can also activate his Earth Release, which he debuted in a battle against Boruto Uzumaki in Chapter 16 on September 11, 2017, as well as other nature transformation techniques at the same time.
Most importantly, Naruto can also expand his arsenal of weapons by incorporating powerful Genjutsu into it. Jiraiya's Sage Art: Toad Confrontation Song Genjutsu was powerful enough to knock out several parts of Pain at the same time. This Genjutsu could now be incorporated into Naruto's arsenal as well, giving him access to more incredible abilities. If Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto want to, they can easily make Naruto incredibly overpowered with just Sage Mode by giving him access to some of the most powerful and deadly abilities that exist in the world. This is something that all fans would like to see as well.
For now, Naruto's return will have to wait as Sasuke is first in line to return in the upcoming Hidari arc. As Sasuke returns, Naruto will eventually return as well, and only then will he get the chance to strut his stuff on the biggest stage again.
