When Himawari was angry at Boruto, her gentle fist was shown to be powerful
enough to knock both Naruto and Kurama out for several hours. Even Hinata was
pretty surprised at this fact. [![enter image description

Does this imply that Himawari's ability to use gentle fist is more potently
dangerous than the average Hyuga?

Is Himawari's Gentle Fist more powerful than the average Hyuga's


No; there's two things going on here, and one is a well-known thing if you've
ever been a parent or near a young child.

The first thing that's going on is that Himawari was able to subconsiously
activate the Byakugan out of anger. This is not contested at all; she's seen
with tears in her eyes as it activates due to her favorite stuffed animal
being torn up.

The second thing is that, well...little children do not know how to control
what strength they have, which can result in both surprise and significant
pain at the point of attack. This could be innocuous like a quick slap to the
face; this could be worse like being kicked in the bread basket or lower.

The main thing at play here is that the fact that Himawari is so young and
that Tenketsu is such a potent taijutsu that it caught both Naruto and Kurama
so thoroughly off-guard it knocked them out.
