Himawari was barely active in the first part of Boruto, being too young to actually participate in battles or assign her a significant role. Now the situation is quite different. Boruto: Two Blue Swirls.

Now, three years after the first part of Boruto, Himawari is more than capable of playing an important role in the series. In fact, the first few issues of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex have already shown fans what she can do and what she will do in the future of this story.

How Himawari obtained the power of Kurama

• Baryon Mode killed Kurama.
• Himawari gained Kurama's power

Fans can easily see that Naruto Uzumaki is one of the most powerful characters in the entire franchise, and for good reason. In fact, Naruto's performance against Isshiki is definitely the strongest performance by an individual in the entire series, and he is far superior to the regular Otsutsuki in the series. Sure, Shibai is still likely stronger than Naruto, but he's a character that only exists in legends and most certainly doesn't even have a physical body. So, excluding Shibai, Naruto is the most powerful character seen in the series.

Honey, do you know who I am? – Kurama

A big part of Naruto's power was his tailed beast, Kurama. Kurama was once Naruto's enemy, but thanks to his incredible hard work and burning passion, Naruto eventually conquered his evil as well and made him his best friend. Since then he has been absolutely unstoppable in battle. But like all good things, Naruto and Kurama's bond ended and the two eventually broke up. This occurred during Naruto's battle with Isshiki. Using his own chakra and Kurama's chakra as kernels to create a new energy source, Naruto harnessed the power of Baryon Mode. Baryon Mode proved to be good enough for Naruto Uzumaki to rival Isshiki in combat. In fact, Naruto's power was such that it shortened Isshiki's lifespan to a few seconds. Essentially, this power was so great that Naruto surpassed Isshiki's power level and became the most powerful character in the entire Boruto series. However, this power caused great damage, which was Kurama's death. Unfortunately, after this fight Naruto no longer had his greatest source of power.

Many fans hoped that Kurama would somehow return to the story and become the source of Naruto's power once again. However, the author's thoughts were different. in Boruto: Two Blue SwirlsIt has been made clear to fans that Kurama and Naruto Uzumaki will not be reunited. Instead, Kurama found a new owner, and to the surprise of fans, it was revealed that it was none other than Naruto's daughter, Himawari Uzumaki.

Why the connection between Himawari and Kurama is stronger than Naruto

Himawari can control Kurama better than anyone else.

Of course, fans may wonder how Kurama's power allows Himawari to surpass her father's. It should be stated that currently Himawari is not at all close to Naruto in terms of power level. In fact, she can't even beat Naruto without his tailed beast. But Himawari has the tools to surpass Naruto in the future. This is made clear by Kurama himself that he has a better relationship with him than any other Jinchuriki before him, including Naruto himself. Of course, they haven't spent much time together, so they're not fully bonded yet. However, she is already a perfect jinchuriki and can utilize Kurama's power to its full potential.

Sure, but whatever he has to offer, Himawari can make the most of it.

My connection with you is stronger than I ever had with the previous Jinchuriki. – Kurama

As seen in the battle with Jura, Himawari regenerates at an incredibly fast rate. In fact, you can heal from any type of damage within seconds. She can also extend her healing to other people in the world of Naruto, as shown when she healed Inojin, who was essentially dead by piercing his chest. Additionally, Himawari already possesses tremendous physical strength and an incredible level of chakra control. She can unleash abilities like tailed beast bombs and can do anything Kurama can do.

Undoubtedly, Himawari's power is already on another level, and as Kurama himself said, the connection between these two characters is greater than the connection he shared with other previous Jinchuriki, including Naruto.

This actually means that Himawari can utilize Kurama's power more than Naruto and use it much more easily. It also gives Naruto access to abilities he could never have access to, which makes things much more interesting here.

Can Himawari surpass all previous Kurama Jinchuriki?

Himawari can reach the highest level as a jinchuriki

Clearly, Himawari is being built to surpass all of Kurama's previous jinchuriki. It may be possible for Himawari to access Baryon Mode without any side effects. Considering that her synchronization with Kurama's chakra is much more natural than Naruto's and gives her greater access to his power, Himawari may actually have found a way to bypass the side effects of Baryon Mode and utilize this power without dying. You can provide it yourself. It would definitely be a huge power-up for her and would allow her to surpass her father in battle. Additionally, Himawari also possesses the Byakugan, which can be greatly enhanced by Kurama's power, which will further enhance her power and allow her to surpass Naruto Uzumaki.

Once Kurama fully matures and Himawari grows into a powerful and collected shinobi, perhaps it will be time for her to surpass Naruto Uzumaki's legacy and become one of the strongest men in the world, potentially becoming the fan-favorite most powerful jinchuriki. It will. We've seen it in the entire Naruto franchise.

Of course, so far fans have only seen glimpses of Himawari's true power, and it will be some time before we actually see her full power. As the Boruto series continues, fans will see more of her and her incredible powers in battle. This would be an important step forward for the series' female characters, as well as her own growth. also. For now, fans can just sit back and watch as Himawari follows in her father's footsteps and aims to become a phenomenal ninja of the Leaf just like the Seven.
