Throughout Naruto’s history, when it comes to Wood Release (Mokuton), the first name that comes to fans’ minds has always been First Hokage Senju Hashirama. However, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has just confirmed a character who wields Wood Release even more powerfully than Hashirama, setting a whole new standard of strength.
Jura officially becomes the strongest Wood Release user in Boruto
Jura first appeared in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 4 and quickly impressed with overwhelming power. Right from his initial battles, he demonstrated the ability to control Wood Release on a massive scale.
One of the most shocking moments was when Jura used Wood Release to pierce through Yamanaka Inojin, killing him before Himawari revived Inojin with her new powers.
Later chapters reveal that Jura is actually the direct incarnation of the Ten-Tails, explaining why he can naturally wield Wood Release as an innate ability.
Unlike Hashirama, a human with a unique bloodline limit, Jura embodies the strongest creature in the Naruto world, pushing his Wood Release to unprecedented levels.
Why is Jura’s Wood Release far beyond Hashirama’s?
Hashirama is legendary for creating vast forests, controlling tailed beasts, and facing off against Uchiha Madara. Yet, at his core, he is still a ninja who uses Wood Release.
Jura, on the other hand, is the embodiment of the Ten-Tails, a creature whose natural power includes Wood Release.
This fundamental difference allows Jura’s Wood Release scale and control to far exceed anything Hashirama ever achieved. This is clearly shown in his battle against Boruto Uzumaki.
Currently, Boruto is strong enough to easily overpower Code and many Shinju. Yet, against Jura, he often finds himself on the defensive due to the massive destructive power and range of Jura’s Wood Release attacks.
Even Kashin Koji warns that the most important thing is not to anger Jura, because if he does, Boruto’s side stands no chance of winning.
Kawaki powerless against Jura’s regeneration
After Boruto retreats, Kawaki immediately joins the fight aiming to defeat Jura. Despite unleashing numerous attacks that consume huge amounts of chakra, all damage Kawaki inflicts quickly disappears. Jura uses Wood Release to regenerate his body within seconds, as if the attacks never happened.
The frightening truth is Jura could have ended both Boruto and Kawaki right then. However, he chooses to spare them after realizing Naruto Uzumaki is still alive and intrigued by their growth.
Jura’s combination of overwhelming strength and near-limitless healing makes him the most terrifying opponent Boruto has faced.
Chapter 36 may boost Jura’s power even further
Following chapter 35, which opened the post-Mamushi arc, the manga hints that Jura is about to undergo another power-up. In this chapter, Hidari questions why Jura tries to bring him back instead of leaving fate to decide.
Jura’s response surprises many readers as he admits just imagining a world without Hidari makes him sad.
In Boruto, feelings of loss often trigger characters to unlock new powers. So if Hidari truly sacrifices himself in the upcoming battle, Jura could awaken even greater abilities, making his already terrifying Wood Release far stronger.
The upcoming clash between Boruto, Sarada, Jura, and Hidari is highly anticipated as the definitive showcase of the strongest Wood Release in history.
Unless something unexpected happens, the title of the greatest Wood Release user held by Senju Hashirama for over 20 years is likely to change hands.
