As an aspiring shinobi walking in the footsteps of the Seventh Hokage, Boruto Uzumaki carries the formidable karma seal that grants him access to awe-inspiring powers. During his training journey with Sasuke Uchiha, he unlocks the incredible doujutsu abilities passed down from the Otsutsuki clan. Let‘s analyze the implications of the iconic duo eye powers Boruto gains after the time skip and how they shape him into a dominant force against the likes of Kawaki.
Harnessing the Karma‘s Precognition to See the Future
The karma binding Boruto inherited from defeating Momoshiki Otsutsuki in the Chunin Exams allows him to absorb and release ninjutsu. However, it also grants the incredible ability to see a glimpse into the future of those he touches. As Boruto trains to master awakened karma stage 2, he hones this foresight to predict his opponent‘s next move and chakra pathway system. This grants him a monumental advantage in combat, allowing him to outmaneuver the tricks of crafty foes like Kawaki.
Karma Stage Evolution
| Stage | Abilities Unlocked | Chakra Level | Regeneration Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Energy Absorption | 8x | 2x |
| 2 | Precognition | 16x | 5x |
| 3 | Soul Extraction | 32x | 10x |

During key battles, karma also resurrects Momoshiki to aid Boruto, giving him access to powerful secret techniques like the all-killing ash bones. At its second stage, Karma‘s precognitive insights last merely a few seconds before rapidly draining massive amounts of chakra. But upon reaching the mythical third stage, Boruto extends his future sight duration to several minutes while wielding space-time ninjutsu on par with Sasuke‘s Rinnegan.
This foresight combines seamlessly with Boruto‘s innate prodigal instincts to create a truly unparalleled battle intellect for someone his age. Come the time skip, rogue ninja like Code and cunning cyborgs like Daemon will sorely regret ever crossing the intimidating sight of our blond hero and his blazing blue orbs!
Unlocking the Otsutsuki Clan‘s Doujutsu Legacy
By possessing 100% of Momoshiki‘s battle data, Boruto gains insider access to the full breadth of Otsutsuki abilities. This includes the ancient clan‘s infamous proficiency in manipulating dimensional gates as well as their trademark dojutsu powers. As an Otsutsuki pureblood, Momoshiki wielded the coveted Rinnegan in tandem with his base red Rinne-Sharingan. Boruto awakening these mythic eyes unlocks gravity manipulating techniques like Chibaku Tensei and control over the six paths of chakra.
Otsutsuki Clan Dojutsu
| Dojutsu | Otsutsuki Wielder | Key Powers |
|---|---|---|
| Byakugan | Kaguya Otsutsuki | Telescopic Vision, Chakra Vision |
| Sharinnegan | Hagoromo Otsutsuki | Yin/Yang Manipulation, Truth Seeking Orbs |
| Rinne Sharingan | Kaguya Otsutsuki | Infinite Tsukuyomi, Space-Time Ninjutsu |
| Rinnegan | Momoshiki Otsutsuki | Six Paths Technique, Gravity Manipulation |

However, the true extent of ocular prowess passed on to Boruto remains shrouded in mystery. As an Otsutsuki descendant, he may also manifest special dojutsu traced back to other clan members like Kaguya or Hagoromo‘s Rinne Sharingan which enabled projecting the Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu. Given his Jougan eye‘s glimpses of calamity on the Horizon, Toneri Otsutsuki likely enhanced Boruto as an ace card against future threats.
A Time Skip to Master Karma & Doujutsu
During Boruto‘s several year training journey with Sasuke Uchiha, both student and teacher aim to better control their special powers. While Sasuke seeks to harness his Rinnegan more extensively to compensate for lost six paths chakra, Boruto trains vigorously to access karma stage 3 and master its various abilities.
This includes manipulating its intricate seal markings to form weapons and unlocking more of its time-warping, life-giving applications. In the iconic flashforward, we witness adult Boruto wield giant karma arms with deadly precision – evidence of his great proficiency in manipulating the seal for combat. Karma training also enables resurrecting Momoshiki to aid him in battles at will rather than losing control.
With the fate of the village at stake, he also urgently learns to activate his Otsutsuki eyes at will, just as Sasuke trained relentlessly to tame his Mangekyo Sharingan under Orochimaru. Expect an older, wiser and battle-tested Boruto well-versed in the secrets of Karma and the predecessor clans of the ninja world. A child who once disdained grueling shinobi training now intimately understands the importance of every lesson under Sasuke‘s stern guidance.
Awakening Momoshiki’s Feared Rinnegan
A pivotal moment arrives when Boruto unexpectedly develops the Rinnegan while battling the Androids. The spontaneous manifestation of Momoshiki‘s mythic purple ripple pattern eyes signals that his power has risen monumentally thanks to continued mastery of Karma. He likely awakens it just as Sasuke gained the Rinnegan after synchronizing with Hashirama‘s DNA.
The appearance of the coveted dojutsu heralds a coming of age for Boruto and the start of tremendously expanding his abilities in the series‘ new ‘Blue Vortex‘ phase. It also draws an interesting parallel between him and Nagato, another transmigrant who awakened the Rinnegan under Otsutsuki clan influence without being an Indra reincarnate. After Jiraiya‘s former student utilized the legendary eyes to almost capture all tailed beasts single-handedly, one shudders imagining the grand power Boruto can exert using the same godly visual prowess!
Potential to Unleash the Rinnegan’s Raw Power
Now armed with the exalted eyes of the Sage of Six Paths himself, Boruto gains access to fearsome power on a level unlike anything seen before in the franchise. Veterans like Naruto, Sasuke and Obito always had limitations on how much chakra they could channel through their Rinnegan without causing paralysis or bleeding. But as Momoshiki‘s direct transmigrant, Boruto bears no such constraints. He can awaken the full majestic power of the Rinnegan, unleashing devastating god-tier techniques without fear of bodily repercussions.
Just as Momoshiki absorbed jutsu to dangerous levels during his final clash with Naruto and Sasuke, expect Boruto to do the same using Preta Path absorption abilities. In fact, equipped with over 20 times the chakra capacity of Kakashi thanks to Karma, Boruto likely surpasses any Rinnegan user in history at tapping into the eyes‘ maximum potential! Between these fearsome space-time techniques, Momoshiki‘s battle experience and the Karma‘s pattern analysis, Boruto graduates firmly into god class shinobi status after his training.
Rinnegan Power Scale
| User | Max Chakra Level | Rinnegan Mastery | Overall Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nagato | 4/10 | 6/10 | 7/10 |
| Obito Uchiha | 7/10 | 4/10 | 6/10 |
| Sasuke Uchiha | 8/10 | 7/10 | 8/10 |
| Boruto Uzumaki | 10/10 | 10/10 | 10/10 |

An Arsenal of New Abilities
While harnessing Karma, Space-Time portals and the Rinnegan greatly amplifies combat abilities, the extent of power ups doesn’t end there for our blond protagonist. During intense battles, Boruto’s body regenerates at an accelerated rate drawing from Momoshiki’s Otsutsuki physiology. Activating the red karma seal temporarily grafts Momoshiki‘s DNA onto Boruto, allowing him to manifest a Byakugan or Rinnegan at will despite lacking natural genetic predispositions.
This manifests visually through a dark chakra horn whose length indicates karma‘s level of influence on Boruto‘s body. At stage 2, he regrows entire limbs within seconds and shrugs off mortal blows. Come the power evolution to karma level 3, expect insane feats like Boruto surviving complete disintegration or having organs gouged out!
His Otsutsuki cells also enable entering enhanced chakra modes by sacrificing life force for explosive bursts of energy. More sinisterly, Karma allows Boruto to mark and extract the souls of defeated enemies just as Momoshiki did to the Seventh Hokage in their first invasion. These additional facets combine with his prodigious ninjutsu talents, dojutsu precognition and vast chakra reserves inherited from Naruto.
All this contributes heavily toward crafting Boruto into an exceptionally well-rounded fighter after the time skip. A true master of ninjutsu, senjutsu, bukijutsu and now descent from godly Ohtutsuki blood no less – Boruto Uzumaki shapes up as an utterly lethal shinobi!
Could 3 Legendary Eyes Manifest in Boruto?
A key question that arises is whether Boruto will awaken just the trademark Rinne-Sharingan and Rinnegan of an Otsutsuki or also gain access to a third unique dojutsu. His lineage ties back to the legendary Hamura Otsutsuki and Toneri Otsutsuki, linking him to the possibility of manifesting Hamura‘s Tenseigan as well. The Tenseigan grants incredible chakra mode transformations and truth seeking orb control which contributed toward Toneri splitting the moon in half!
We also see a concept sketch by creator Masashi Kishimoto depicting Boruto with three unique dojutsu markings. The illustration could signify him gaining an additional ocular moveset after mastering karma. In Jougan‘s first appearance, Boruto struck a strong resemblance to Toneri so their relationship likely runs deeper than we know. Perhaps Boruto unlocks the Jougan permanently in both eyes rather than just his right. Maybe Toneri passes down the glowing blue orbs‘ activation to him.
Either way, the window remains open for our calculating hero to access other powerful dojutsu besides the Otsutsuki clan standards of the Rinnegan. With lineage ties to the mythical mother Kaguya, chief monk Hagoromo, secretive Toneri – Boruto exhibits potential to awaken mythic eyes tracing back to any of these legendary figures!
Years spent locked in fierce combat have molded Boruto into a truly fearsome warrior commanding three legendary dojutsu in his arsenal. His prodigious talents combined with such raw and devastating eye techniques make him a forced to be reckoned with against the most nefarious villains. But will the young shinobi stay on the path of light or will darker influences like the Karma continue steering him toward vengeance?
Either way, with an impressive new power tier achieved, watching Boruto dexterously wield his hard-earned might in future battles will be a special treat for us viewers.
