‘Naruto’ has been one of the most-watched anime of all time. It has also been a part of many people’s childhood. From watching Naruto Uzumaki being bullied and discriminated by the villagers and being a weak Shinobi to watching him become the strongest Shinobi not only in Konoha but in all of the five nations, fans have grown up alongside him.
Watching him lose Kurama was very hard for the fans. However, many fans are curious if Naruto has become useless or worthless without Kurama in the picture.

Why Did Naruto Lose Kurama?
Naruto lost Kurama during his fight with Isshiki. Isshiki is one of the major antagonists of ‘Boruto’ and is one of the strongest enemies Naruto has ever fought. Naruto was unable to defeat him even after using Bijuu mode and sage mode.
After some time, Kurama suggested that Naruto use the Baryon mode. By using this mode, Naruto became excessively powerful and stronger than he had ever been. He was successfully able to stop Isshiki and defeat him. However, he had to pay a hefty price for the win.
Due to using Baryon mode, Kurama used up all of his chakra and died. Naruto was unaware of the cost of the win and only came to know it after the battle. This is how he lost Kurama. However, it was mentioned in ‘Naruto’ that tailed beasts never truly die and get resurrected after a certain amount of time. However, Kurama will get resurrected after a very long time, long after Naruto is dead.
Is Naruto Worthless?
After Naruto lost Kurama, he grew significantly weak. He can no longer fight the same level of opponents that he used to. However, he has not become worthless. Naruto Uzumaki was a strong Shinobi before using Kurama’s power. He has a lot of Jutsu in his arsenal and can use them.
The strongest jutsu currently for him is his sage mode. Naruto can now perfect sage mode now that Kurama is no longer sealed inside him. In addition to the sage mode, Naruto has his Rasengan, and some chakra from other tailed beasts as well.
He is the reincarnation of Ashura, and is strong due to this fact. In addition, he belongs to the Uzumaki clan and they have high reserves of Chakra. Therefore, whilst his chakra reserves are not as much as before, they are still much bigger than any Shinobi.
He has also become much more experienced and powerful than when he was a teenager and can now fight better than before. Therefore, whilst Naruto has indeed grown significantly weaker, he has not yet become worthless.
