Rock Lee replaces Naruto as Konoha's new strongest Shinobi in the two Blue Vortex.

Boruto: Two Blue Swirls Over the years, the order of the most powerful shinobi has changed significantly, and Konoha has also gone through some major changes. Naruto Uzumaki, once the strongest man in the village, no longer exists, and in his absence, Rock Lee has now grown into the strongest ninja. Rock Lee's power in the current village is enormous, and although he has not yet appeared in the story, he currently reigns as the most powerful and useful ninja in Konoha. Hopefully, future arcs will boruto It will give him a bigger role.

Naruto's Strongest Jutsu Kill Otsutsuki

The power vacuum left by the loss of Kurama as the 7th Hokage.

Until Naruto ruled as Hokage, it was clear that he was the strongest man, with Kurama and the power of the Six Paths at his side. Naruto was virtually undefeated in battle, and didn't even need to bring out his Baryon Mode's power, which surpassed even Isshiki's. However, when Naruto lost Kurama's power, the Leaf Village's power rankings changed significantly. Neither Naruto nor Sasuke were as strong as they used to be. Additionally, Naruto Uzumaki was sealed by Kawaki, and Sasuke left the village and turned into a tree by a code.

The younger generation is clearly strong in the current Konoha, and both Kawaki and Sarada can be said to be incredibly powerful ninjas, but both have weaknesses. Sarada can't use her powers often, Kawaki overheats too quickly in battle, while Boruto is a villain. This means that the power vacuum left by Naruto Uzumaki will be filled by none other than Konoha's strongest taijutsu expert, Rock Lee.

The reason why Mr. Lee became the new strongest person in the Leaf Village

Rock Lee is the strongest in Konoha. This shouldn't come as a surprise to any fans. After all, he is an outstanding jonin who has complete mastery of the arm-in-arms technique. The power of the Gate allows Lee to compete with even the most dangerous foes. It should be remembered that even with the Seventh Gate, Gai was able to put Madara on the back foot, and with the power of the Eighth Gate, he inflicted critical damage on the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, almost killing him in battle. Mr. Lee is currently the strongest person in the village as he has a similar level of strength.

When it comes to the most powerful taijutsu users in Konoha history, Rock Lee is actually at the top. It is said that after the Fourth Ninja War, Mr. Lee even surpassed Might Guy. Fans have already seen how powerful Guy is in war, and Lee surpassing him, especially after mastering all eight inner doors, means he's at an even higher level now.

Taesul instructor’s current power level assessment

When you look at Rock Lee's overall power level, it's clear that he's an absolute disaster. With the power of the Eight Inner Gates, especially the Eight Death Gates, Lee is virtually unstoppable in battle. Considering that Gai was able to catch up with the Ten-Tails Madara and even overpower him in battle, pushing him to the brink of death, Lee is capable of greater things because he is stronger.

If Rock Lee utilizes the power of the Eight Gates, he will be able to take on guys like Otsutsuki on his own and even overwhelm them in battle. Even with the seventh gate, Lee would be able to destroy the majority of Shinju in battle. This is what makes it even more confusing why he isn't an active participant in the story. He is one of the most powerful men in Konoha and must lead from the front, especially when the younger generation is putting their lives on the line.

But for some reason Rock Lee wasn't written into the story at all. Hopefully, future arcs of Boruto resolve this big issue in the story. Because otherwise the discrepancy would be too big for fans to ignore.
