In chapter 3 of the newly released Two Blue Vortex manga, there are subtle indications that Boruto has surpassed his father, Naruto, in terms of power and abilities. One notable showcasing in the series is the Uzuhiko Rasengan, an exceptionally potent and upgraded version of the standard Rasengan.
This enhanced Rasengan utilizes the planetary chakra and incorporates the rotational energy of the Earth to intensify its power. Unlike traditional Rasengans, this technique draws upon the never-ending energy supplied by the Earth's rotation, guaranteeing unstoppable destruction upon contact.
Even without Kurama, Naruto possesses numerous formidable abilities at his disposal. These include Sage Mode, Rasengan, Rasenshuriken, Shadow Clone Jutsu, and Summoning Jutsu. Despite the loss of the Nine Tails, he continues to maintain his position as one of the most powerful characters in the series.

In the third chapter of the Two Blue Vortex manga, there are subtle suggestions that Boruto Uzumaki has surpassed his father in terms of power and abilities. In a display of his mastery over Sage Mode, he showcases a newfound technique known as the Uzuhiko Rasengan. This technique allows him to harness energy from nature, further exemplifying his exceptional skills.
The inclusion of a toad hidden in his clothing indicates his strong proficiency in Sage Jutsu, further suggesting his connection to Mount Myoboku and Kashin Koji. It is possible that he acquired sage jutsu knowledge from Kashin Koji or learned it from Fukasaku in Mount Myoboku, much like his father.
Furthermore, he skillfully evades Code's attacks in a manner reminiscent of Sasuke Uchiha's teleportation jutsu. Towards the end of the chapter, he performs a hand sign that implies he is preparing to teleport. This sudden appearance in Konoha and subsequent triumph over Code confirms his mastery of space-time jutsu, showcasing yet another ability of his Jogan.
When comparing Boruto to his father, Naruto, it is evident that Boruto possesses a more extensive range of skills. He not only can utilize the Shadow Clone Jutsu but also demonstrates proficiency in three variations of Rasengan, including the standard, Vanishing, and Uzuhiko Rasengan. Furthermore, he possesses Momoshiki's Karma and possesses the Jougan, which is widely regarded as the most powerful dojutsu in the series. Recent theories even suggest that he has access to Sage Mode and teleportation jutsu.
The hidden toad in his attire suggests the potential for summoning toads, while his ability to summon snakes has already been witnessed in the anime. These attributes and skills strongly suggest that he may have ascended to become one of the paramount figures in the series, potentially surpassing even the Seventh Hokage, Naruto.
However, it should be noted that the matter of their comparative strength remains a matter of perception, as they have yet to directly compete. Nevertheless, within the series, Boruto has undeniably surpassed Naruto.
