Boruto Officially Sets Up Three Konoha Ninjas Stronger Than Naruto Uzumaki

In Naruto Chapter 1, the protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, officially set the goal to become the strongest ninja in the village and claim the position of Hokage for himself on September 21, 1999. Since then, decades have passed, and Naruto has accomplished his dream. By the time of the Boruto era, which officially began in the manga on May 9, 2016, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #23, Naruto Uzumaki was at the helm of Konoha as the Seventh Hokage and stood as the strongest Shinobi in the world at that time. It was unimaginable for anyone to even come close to his level, let alone surpass him, but much has changed since the Boruto series started, and Naruto Uzumaki has also lost a significant portion of his power.
