This article contains spoilers from the Naruto series.
Naruto Uzumaki is one of the most popular characters ever Naruto franchise. In fact, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that he's the face of the entire franchise, which is why his loss hurts fans as much as it does in Boruto. When Boruto the series first started Naruto was everywhere. He led the next generation exactly as he was supposed to, setting an example for everyone and showing them what a Hokage should be.
It's time to welcome the perfect successor to Naruto Uzumaki as the next Hokage
The next Hokage has already been decided and is Naruto's true successor in Boruto.
However, Kishimoto flipped the script when he stripped Naruto of his powers and killed Kurama. Shortly after, Naruto was sealed by Kawaki and since then fans have been wondering when he would return. The way things are, that's how it looks Naruto's return is not too far awaybased on current events Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes manga. what's more Naruto will not come back as weak as before. Once he comes back, he will be stronger and will definitely get new abilities as well.
Naruto Uzumaki eventually returns to Boruto
When the Boruto series started, fans were shocked to know this Naruto Uzumaki could potentially die. That's why the story's prologue clearly teased Naruto's death. However, as things unfolded in the story, it became more and more clear Naruto wasn't actually dead, but seriously incapacitated. After Kawaki was sealed, Naruto didn't really return to the story. However, that will most likely change very soon.
This power is immense. It should definitely surpass his. But the disadvantages are too great. You know, the fact that it drains our life is key. Since the chakra is connected, the power that arises from the bits of our lives also shaves his life on contact. That's the power of Baryon Mode. — Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
When Eida used the power of omnipotence to switch places with Boruto and Kawaki, the whole world believed that Boruto was the one who killed the Seventh Hokage. However, as time goes on, more characters discover the fact that Boruto is the son of the Seventh Hokage and Kawaki is someone else entirely. People like Sarada, Mitsuki and even Konohamaru either already realize or have started to realize the truth.
Omnipotence as such won't play a significant role in the story for long, which means Kawaki will eventually be forced to dismiss the Seventh Hokage. This will probably happen after Jura falls and Kawaki will continue to destroy Konoha and the battle between Boruto and him will begin.
Naruto could return after the fall of Jura
First up is the Jura and Shinju plot to deal with. The current Boruto arc will most certainly include all three of Hidari, Jura, and Mamushi. If all three Shinju fall in this arc, the next arc may very well be the one where Kawaki and Boruto face off. This means that at the end of the next arc, fans could very well see theirs beloved Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki, come back.
You don't understand anything. Because you are no ordinary shinobi. You're even a bit different from the Jinchuriki, the ones who host the Bijuu inside of them. You are human, and yet, if anything, you are similar to me and Jura. — Kurama Himawari Uzumaki in Boruto
Naruto gains new abilities upon his return
As Naruto's return draws closer, fans also know very well that he won't be as weak as when he was sealed by Kawaki. This is pretty clear based on the fans Sasuke gets a new sword. Boruto Uzumaki had recently officially upgraded Sasuke's sword and his chakra was registered with the blade as well.
Madara Uchiha has officially lost his #1 spot as the most powerful Sharingan user
Madara is powerful, but he is no longer the strongest Sharingan user in Naruto.
Similarly, Naruto Uzumaki will gain a lot of power in the Boruto series as well, and this is something fans can't wait for. As for the power, the answer has not yet been clarified in the story, but eventually Boruto will reveal the truth to the fans.
Since Sasuke received the Scientific Ninja Tool, it is likely that Naruto will receive something very similar.
The scientific instruments of the ninja will be his greatest ally
In the present day of the Naruto world, the scientific tools of the Ninja are extremely important. The fans know very well that they have a huge power and could help those who need a huge power. It is highly likely that Naruto Uzumaki obtains the Scientific Ninja Tool after his return.
We have emphasized the idea before Naruto gets a new prosthetic arm allowing him to not only absorb chakra but also expel it. This is something fans will likely see upon his return and it could make him stronger than before. This will also allow Naruto to compete at the highest level and regain popularity among fans.
