Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to captivate fans with its compelling narrative, focusing heavily on character development. Among its noteworthy characters is none other than Uzumaki Himawari, who has unexpectedly become a focal point in the story.
In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Himawari has been transformed into the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, Kurama. This development has surprised many fans, especially since they had never anticipated that the young girl would inherit such a powerful entity. Naturally, Himawari becoming Jinchuriki of Kurama has drawn considerable attention, especially as it raises questions about her potential as the best Jinchuriki of Kurama. Fortunately, creator Masashi Kishimoto has provided a clear response.
History of Kurama’s Jinchuriki
When discussing the Jinchuriki system, fans are well aware that it has a long-standing history in the Naruto universe. The first Jinchuriki after Otsutsuki Hagoromo was none other than Uzumaki Mito, the wife of Hokage First, Senju Hashirama. Mito sealed Kurama within herself, and later, Uzumaki Kushina, a girl from the Whirlpool Country, became the next host for the beast. Kushina held Kurama within her for many years, until Uzumaki Naruto was born.

After Naruto’s birth, Kushina lost Kurama, and the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, sealed Kurama into Naruto. To be precise, two Jinchuriki were born on the same day. Minato became the male Jinchuriki of Kurama, while Naruto took on the role of the male Jinchuriki following him.
As the story progresses, Naruto becomes the dominant force of Kurama, to the point where no other Jinchuriki could match his strength. Naruto even forms bonds with the fox and other Tailed Beasts.
However, unfortunately, in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Naruto loses Kurama after battling Otsutsuki Isshiki, due to the use of Baryon Mode. Once Kurama’s chakra is severed from Naruto, Naruto’s strength is no longer what it used to be. And now, Uzumaki Himawari is poised to become the next Jinchuriki of Kurama.
Why is Himawari the Best Jinchuriki for Kurama?
When it comes to strength, Uzumaki Naruto is undoubtedly Kurama’s most powerful Jinchuriki. In fact, when discussing fame and influence, no other Jinchuriki can compare to Naruto. However, regarding who would be the best Jinchuriki for Kurama in terms of potential, Kishimoto has revealed this answer in the narrative.

Himawari Uzumaki is seen as the best potential Jinchuriki for Kurama, primarily because the child’s chakra is believed to be far more compatible with Kurama’s than any other Jinchuriki, including Naruto.

In simpler terms, Himawari could effectively harness Kurama’s immense power. Together, Kurama and Himawari could potentially form a more formidable team than Naruto and Kurama. However, this does not mean that Kurama and Himawari will be stronger, but it certainly hints that the young girl has the potential to become a better Jinchuriki in the future. Himawari could surpass Naruto, provided she is given the opportunity to develop.
