The Most Powerful Jutsus in Naruto and Boruto: Who Can Use Them?

The world of Naruto and Boruto is filled with a multitude of jutsu that range from the mundane to the extremely powerful. The question often arises as to which jutsu are the most powerful and who can wield them. While many jutsu require significant power levels or specific sensory abilities, there are a few that practically anyone can use under the right circumstances. In this article, we’ll explore some of these powerful jutsu and their accessibility.

Reaper Death Seal

Reaper Death Seal is a jutsu passed down through generations of Uzumaki. Unlike other jutsu, this one can be performed by anyone who knows it, as it requires no pre-requisite other than knowledge. This jutsu is designed to seal any target with the user's chakra, but it comes at a cost: the user’s own life if the seal is successful and the target's soul is sealed.

Kirin

Kirin is one of the more unique jutsu in the series, with Sasuke being the only known user. However, those with the necessary chakra control and lightning affinity would likely be capable of performing it. The first instance of Kirin was used by Sasuke, who heated the atmosphere to create the conditions necessary for it. While it may seem exclusive to Sasuke, it’s not impossible for other shinobi to use this jutsu given the right conditions.

100 Healing Jutsu

100 Healing Jutsu is another jutsu that, while incredibly demanding both in terms of chakra control and patience, technically can be performed by any shinobi. It's a method of healing that can completely recover a person from even fatal wounds. While the majority of shinobi would not possess the necessary chakra control or patience to use it, it remains available for those who do.

One’s Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu

One’s own life reincarnation jutsu is a jutsu so powerful that it essentially allows the user to raise someone from the dead, exchanging their own life for the revival of the target. Lady Chiyo demonstrated this jutsu by reviving Naruto, and there is no indication that one needs to reach a specific power level to perform it.

8 Gates

8 Gates is a set of techniques that involves using one's chakra to push beyond the limits of the body. While mastering these techniques requires significant training and practice, anyone can develop the ability to use them. The desire to do so, however, is another matter entirely. The 8 Gates are a testament to the limits of human endurance and the potential for pushing beyond them.

Community Effort Jutsu

It's worth noting that earth style jutsu often used to slow the Ten-tails' wrath, such as the Wall of Stone technique, is one of those that can be performed by a large group of shinobi. The entire Shinobi Alliance working together on this jutsu is a prime example of how jutsu that require a lot of individuals can be done under the right circumstances.

Feature Jutsu

Other notable jutsu include:

Ball Rasengan: Six Paths Mode – Naruto: A powerful attack combining the techniques of Naruto and the Six Paths Sage techniques. Cursed Flame Rasengan – Sasuke (Shinbeito Ryuken): Sasuke's version of the Rasengan using his cursed flame technique. 8 Gates Unleashed – Might Guy: A pinnacle use of the 8 Gates, showcasing the user's strength.

Tengai Shinsei – Madara: Madara's ultimate jutsu that can rewrite reality and revive the dead. Tsukuyomi – Itachi: Itachi's ultimate genjutsu that warps reality to serve as a deathtrap for enemies.

While these jutsu are indeed powerful, they are not the only ones that can be used by a wide range of characters across the series. The key is often in the user's willingness and the circumstances under which they can perform them.
