Taejutsu can make or break an individual in a powerful fight, and with new importance being given to taijutsu, it is not surprising to know that: boruto We have officially chosen a new god of Taijutsu. Might Guy and Rock Lee have always been at the forefront as one of the most powerful taijutsu users, but Boruto has seen that none of them can surpass the other than Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage of Konoha.

Naruto Uzumaki surpassed Might Guy and Rock Lee to become the new god of Taijutsu in the Boruto era.
During Naruto's time, Might Guy was widely known as the strongest taijutsu master.

By unlocking all eight gates, Madara Might Guy has reached a level that is difficult for anyone to match. Even Madara Uchiha, the Ten-Tailed Jinchuriki, struggled to handle him and his most powerful attack, Night Guy.

Naruto's Baryon Mode Taijutsu surpasses all Otsutsuki
It first became clear in the 2014 film 'The Last: Naruto the Movie' that Naruto Uzumaki was declared a taijutsu god. In this incredible battle, Naruto had to rely primarily on taijutsu, and his final punch against Toneri was so powerful that it essentially shattered the surface of the moon itself. Naruto also successfully wielded a sword that split the entire moon in half, demonstrating tremendous durability and endurance in battle and being far superior to Guy in physical terms. Naruto Uzumaki fought the fused Momoshiki Otsutsuki in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 9 on January 30, 2017. To the surprise of all fans, Naruto was able to fight him even in his base form. After he harnessed the power of Six Paths Sage Mode, he was not only able to match him, but also overpower him in terms of taijutsu, as clearly seen in the chapter.

In this extraordinary battle, which began to unfold in episode 52 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations in V-Jump Issue #1, November 20, 2020, Naruto Uzumaki used his own chakra and combined it with Kurama's chakra to create a new form of energy in a process similar to nuclear fusion. Using this power, Naruto's power soared to levels higher than Isshiki's, making him the strongest mortal to exist in the entire universe, surpassed only by Shibai Otsutsuki.
“That's ridiculous!! With this new power, they're even. No, Naruto actually beat him!!” — Sasuke Uchiha confirmed in Chapter 52 of Boruto that Naruto's taijutsu skills rank higher than Isshiki Otsutsuki.
When using Baryon Mode, Naruto primarily relied on hand-to-hand combat in his battle with Isshiki, and the level he displayed was such that not even this legendary Otsutsuki, who scaled beyond almost every character in the verse, could scratch him. Naruto's taijutsu was incredibly effective, and the battle, which officially concluded in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter #53 in December 2020, declared the Seventh Hokage the God of Taijutsu.
