Hiraishin is one of the most lethal teleportation jutsu in Masashi Kishimoto’s series. Invented by Tobirama Senju, the technique was first introduced with Minato’s mastery of it. But that is not all considering its potency.
And while the Fourth Hokage gained notoriety as Konoha’s Yellow Flash, it put him at risk for the most part. From speed to agility, the jutsu is a rarity when it comes to its users. But there’s a technique so broken that it completely tops the charts.
InBoruto, Kishimoto gave Sasuke Uchiha a formidable jutsu that could rival the Hiraishin. With speed, agility, and efficiency, the Uchiha has the upper hand compared to Minato’s jutsu.
The mangaka, however, paid tribute to the Fourth Hokage’s jutsu in his own unique way. This is evident with the technique’s iconic comeback in the sequel series.
Sasuke’s OP ability inBorutotops the chart
Throughout the series,Sasuke Uchihaoutdid himself in more ways than one. He surpassed some of the greatest shinobi including Madara Uchiha. Be it Dojutsu prowess or sword fighting, the character is truly formidable in the sequel series.
Above all, he incapacitated Momoshiki through his combat prowess. Even in his prime, the Uchiha isn’t merely reliant on his Dojutsu per se. His mastery of nature release along with fuinjutsu makes him a remarkable shinobi.
Additionally, his strength and intelligence are further charted in theBorutoseries. Even after losing an arm during his battle with Naruto, the character can spar with one of the strongest antagonists in the series.
Of all the duels in the series, his fight with Momoshiki is considered one of the best in terms of visuals and stellar animation. But what topped the charts was his Amenotejikara which surpasses Minato’s Hiraishin as most fans would agree.

Redditors weredividedbetween Amenotejikara and Hiraishin and this was the consensus.
While Amenotejikara is the clear winner with Sasuke’s speed, agility, and dojutsu prowess, Hiraishin deserves its due place. As a lethal jutsu created by the second Hokage, it served a greater purpose during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
And though it may have its fair share of limitations, the forbidden jutsu is in a league of its own. Precisely why Kishimoto chose to pay tribute to Konoha’s Yellow Flash in his unique way.
Masashi Kishimoto’s Tribute to Flying Raijin
Of late,Masashi Kishimoto’ssequel seriesBorutoreceived relentless criticism for many reasons. Be it bland animation or lackluster visuals, it isn’t exempt from censure. But there is one thing that the series does best and, that is, comebacks.
From old characters to concepts, it is a tribute to the mangaka’s legacy. While cloning is a recurrent theme in the series, the reintroduction of old jutsu is the perfect way to pay homage to the original anime.
Kishimoto’s series brings backMinato’siconic jutsu through his successor Boruto. The series peaks in terms of plotline and development when it comes to the protagonist. Interestingly, it breaks the age-old comparison with its fresh storytelling.
The hero’smastery of Hiraishinwas the perfect way to give him some edge along with a badass power-up. Additionally, his conception of Rasengan Uzuhiko ties well with Sasuke’s Chidori Stream.
