Uzumaki Boruto

Uzumaki Boruto (うずまきボルト) is a shinobi from Konohagakure's Uzumaki clan, and a descendant of the Hyuga clan. He is also a member of Team Konohamaru. Ever since his father, Uzumaki Naruto, became Hokage, Boruto had been resentful towards him for never having enough time for him and his family. He also had a tendency to take short-cuts as a ninja rather than depending on his own strength. However, after training under Uchiha Sasuke and battling Momoshiki with his father and teacher. Boruto eventually comes to respect his father and the title of Hokage, but vows to become a ninja like Sasuke.

Background
Boruto is the first child of Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata, born soon after their marriage and as the first child of the new generation. On one peaceful morning, during winter time in Konoha when he was a toddler, e and his younger sister, Uzumaki Himawari, came running out to embrace their father while he was training outside, with Boruto excitedly asking him to play with them. Naruto suggested that they have a snowball fight, much to Boruto and Himawari's excitement. As their snowball fight commenced, Hinata decided to join in and Naruto warned his children that when their mother got serious, she was incredibly strong.

A couple of years later, on the morning of Naruto's inauguration as the Seventh Hokage. Hinata asked her two children to wake their father up, and when Himawari was unable to do so. Boruto proceeded to yell and jump on their father, effectively waking him up. While getting ready to go out, Boruto and Himawari got into an argument about taking her stuffed panda toy to the ceremony, to which Boruto told his sister that he was embarrassed on having to carry the toy in the village, along with wondering what the villager's reaction would be upon seeing this and he would have to carry it if she gets tire of holding it. He then told her not to bring it, which resulted to the toy being ripped in half. Despite Boruto admitting that he goofed up this time he apologized to her, and told her that she did pull more harder than him.

But Himawari got extremely angry, and had awakened her Byakugan for the first time which shocked Boruto since he remarked that she had the same eyes as their mother. She then began attacking him, while Boruto was unable to defend himself. Naruto quickly rushed in to see what all the commotion was about, and tried to calm Himawari down, however she refused to listen. When Naruto stood in front of Boruto to protect him, Himawari knocked her father out by hitting his chakra points in a single strike, making Naruto unconscious. While thinking of what an attack that knock out his father, could also do to him. As Boruto fled throughout the house in fear by hiding in a closet, he vowed to himself to never make his little sister extremely angry ever again. But he was eventually found by his sister.

Personality
Boruto is quite similar to his father, both tending to be loud, energetic, and stubborn. When ever frustrated or excited, he ends his sentences with "Dattebasa" (だってばさ). Which is similar to Naruto's "dattebayo". Just like his father, Boruto also tends to be highly coy about his feelings. Which was to the point where he pretends not to actually care until he later shows his softer side when no one is around. Boruto has a high opinion of himself and freely brags about his abilities. Though, unlike Naruto when he was Boruto's age, Boruto's boasts are usually justified. This arrogance resulted in Boruto not valuing his teammates or teamwork in general early on, to the point where he believed he could do everything and anything on his own. Unlike his father, Boruto was shown to be quiet intelligent.

Despite their similar personality, Naruto and Boruto are different in a number of ways: Naruto was an orphan, whereas Boruto's family is always there for him. Naruto was ostracized by kids his age while struggling to make friends, but Boruto has many friends. Naruto had to work hard for his abilities and recognition, whereas Boruto's talents come to him naturally and he receives praise without even trying. Because of all this, Boruto lacks an appreciation for things earned with effort, causing him to cheat at video games rather than play them as intended and use the Kote rather than train to master ninjutsu on his own. It's turns out that after Naruto had became Hokage, Boruto no longer referred to Naruto as "Dad" instead he started to refer to his father as "Shitty Dad", due to Naruto's Hokage duties having him spend less time with him, Hinata and Himawari.

When Sasuke met Boruto for the first time, he told Naruto that the boy reminded him of how Naruto used to be, but Naruto denied this. He told Sasuke that Boruto was more like him instead, and that surprised Sasuke. However, what overall made him different from them both was the fact that Boruto never worked hard, which is something that both Naruto and Sasuke did to reach their goals. Including that Naruto always got his clothes dirty, which was something Boruto hated when he saw how dirty Naruto's old jacket was. Due to this Boruto tries to keep his clothes clean and brand new, which was the one key example of how different he is from Naruto and Sasuke. Nevertheless both Sasuke and Naruto commented that Boruto resembled them when they were younger.

Boruto has a very close attachment to his parents, as he refers to them as "Mom" and "Dad". He does love his mother and sister, by becoming angry when either of them are hurt physically or emotionally. Which was proven true when it was shown that, Boruto and Hinata had an argument on the night that Naruto didn't show up for Himawari's birthday due to working longer than usual. Including when he became worried for his mother's well-being when he discovered that she was injured in an attempt to save Naruto.

But Boruto had a hostile relationship with his father overall ever since Naruto became Hokage. He loves his father and is overjoyed whenever they spend time together, but the responsibilities of the Hokage office prevent Naruto from being around all the time. This made Boruto feel neglected along with hating the Hokage title for taking his father away. Boruto's methods of dealing with this are numerous. To make he do anything to gain Naruto's attention, often motivated solely by the prospect that his father will notice him though his chidish pranks. He hates the Hokage title, believing it is only fitting for those with no loved ones. So Boruto strives to become strong enough to surpass his father, therefore by trying to surpass Naruto's legacy.

What he does not do is express how he feels in front of Naruto, pretending to be disinterest whenever Naruto tries to connect with him. Eventually, when Boruto is finally exposed to the complications of his father's life and witnesses how hard work can make a respectable shinobi, he forgives his father's busy schedule and stops trying to take the easy options in life. This was proven true, when Naruto was capture during Momoshiki and Kinshiki's attack. The attack finally made him felt guilty for how he always treated his father, and made him finally no longer want to cheat in order for his father to acknowledge him. To this end Boruto decided to go save his father, while also wanting to learn about his father's past instead of his weakness. In which it had led him to wear his father's old jacket, and on the fact that the attack had made Boruto extremely worry for his father's wellbeing and safety. Since Sasuke told Boruto that he was repeating the same thing that Naruto went though at his age; such as being hated by the entire village along with not being consider to be call a shinobi, taking a certain item that was reveal to be forbidden, including only having one adult worry about him and having a younger child admiring him as his older sibling.

After his father was rescue, Boruto finally stop referring to his father as "Shitty Dad" and started to refer to him as "Dad" again. While being happy that his relationship with Naruto is no longer strained, and that he is happy with things remaining the same for his family as long as he can hear more stories about his father's childhood past. Including that Naruto is now home more often, and Boruto is supportive of his grueling work schedule. Along with both of them encourage one another to do their best, and finally bumping fists with each other. Follow by after becoming a young hero like his father, Boruto was shown doing the same interviews that his father did. Including that Boruto no longer hates the Hokage title. He even starts to wear his jacket all ruin as a sign of admiring his father again, and telling his mother that wearing his jacket all tore up looked cool that way.

Boruto has known Uchiha Sarada for as long as they can remember, though they lack the same sort of relationship that Naruto had with Sarada's father, Uchiha Sasuke, when they were younger. Instead of constantly competing with each other like their fathers did, Boruto and Sarada are civil and respectful. While Sarada has always been sympathetic of Boruto's desire to be closer with Naruto, Boruto has not always been considerate of her own desires to be Hokage, for a time only helping her when it suits his own needs. Though during the Chunin Exams when he was up against three Genin brothers who were all capable of using the shadow clone technique, he thought about Sarada right before he used the Kote, signifying that he did not want to lose for her dream of becoming Hokage. Being close friends, Boruto cares deeply for Sarada which is seen when Boruto saw how fearful Sarada was of Momoshiki's powers, and Boruto produced a shadow clone to protect her. After reconnecting with his father, Boruto has a change of heart, deciding to do whatever he can to help Sarada become Hokage, a dynamic just like the one Naruto and Sasuke have in adulthood. Boruto develops romantic feelings for Sarada, which in turn is mutual on Sarada's part. Boruto is also on good terms with Sasuke himself, admiring him for being his father's only equal; he calls Sasuke "uncle" despite the fact that they never met until after he becomes a genin. It was through Sasuke's tutelage and his admiration for him, that Boruto made it his goal to become a shinobi like him.

Appearance
Boruto bears a striking resemblance to his father, having his blond hair and blue eyes. At a glance he seems to have the same spiky blond hair as his father, but he has three long bangs that hang over his forehead. While the rest of his hair flares out on the sides and back. This is what gives the spikes of his hair the appearance of a leaf. Due to the fact that Boruto also has an ahoge (アホ毛) on the top of his head, which resembles the stem of a leaf. From his mother, he inherited the shape of both her eyes and face. He also has two whisker markings on each cheek — which he inherited from his father. According to Sarada, his eyes are more bluer than Naruto's. Also according to Sasuke, Boruto looks like Naruto but inherited Hinata's face expressions.

In the post credit scene of Naruto Shippuuden movie 7, Boruto wore a black tracksuit. It is reminiscent of the orange one Naruto wore for most of the series. It had a red fire symbol on the left breast matching an insignia his mother once wore on her jacket in Part I, and red stripes along the sides of his pants. Behind Boruto's jacket, there was a symbol that resembled a bolt. He wore a pair of white sandals with this outfit.

Early in his days as a Ninja Academy student, his outfit is quite similar to this. Boruto wore a black tracksuit with red lining and stripes along the bottom and sleeve cuffs. Beneath the jacket, which he wore open and cuts off at the midriff, he wears a plain white T-shirt and a bolt tied to a string around his neck, and black pants. He also wears white shinobi sandals.

In the Boruto movie, he wears a black tracksuit outfit that has the jacket with magenta strikes on each side of the sleeves, while the inside collar of his jacket is pink. Boruto also wears a pair black pant with shinobi bandages attach to his right leg that he uses for his kunai holder. Along with wearing a black Konoha forehead protector on his forehead and wearing black open-toed boots on his feet. Later on, when he goes to rescue his father after being removed from the Chunin Exams by cheating, Boruto wears the original orange tracksuit jacket that Naruto wore during Part I. He wears it by having it open and unzipped. Along with Naruto's jacket, he is seen wearing Sasuke's scratched forehead protector in place of his own. After the rescue mission is complete, Boruto gets his forehead protector back from his father. Along with wearing bandages on his left arm after it got seriously injured from him using the Parent and Child Rasengan on Momoshiki. Just like his father at his age, Boruto starts to wear his jacket all dirty all torn up, thinking it looks cooler that way, and as a sign to finally respecting his father.

In Boruto, he wears the same outfit but serval changes to it. His black track suit jacket has red stripes, and at the end of both sleeves it is red with thin black stripes. Thus having his jacket in a similar style like his father. Along with wearing a white t-shirt and short black pant but with it being held down with a light brown belt that has a knife in place. Including that the end of his pants are red with thin black stripes on both sides of the pants. And lastly Boruto wears regular black open toe shinobi sandals, but with a thin black stack holding it in place. It is also during this point that Boruto doesn't have the ahoge on his hair no more.

Abilities
Boruto is variously called a prodigy and an elite genin, whereas that Mitsuki believes it's inevitable he'll be Hokage someday. When his father trains with him prior to his graduation from the Ninja Academy, Naruto briefly forgets he's only fighting a Ninja Academy student and contemplates going all out to keep up with Boruto. His skills are further refined under Sasuke's tutelage, granting him the maneuverability and precise aim needed to blind one of Momoshiki's Rinnegan. With his father and Sasuke's aid, he could also defeat Momoshiki.

Kage Bunshin No Technique
Despite his young age, Boruto has shown the ability to use high ranking ninjutsu, despite the fact that he is only a genin. He's shown proficiency in using the Shadow Clone Technique, which he is able to skilfully switch places between himself and the clone. Because it's the trademark signature technique of his father, Boruto doesn't take too much pride of the accomplishment. Instead he would refer to the technique as his father's. Unlike his father who can create a thousand clones, it turns out that Boruto can only make four clones, since he admitted that four clones is his limit.

Rasengan
At Sasuke's insistence, Boruto learns how to perform the Rasengan from Sarutobi Konohamaru. Although it takes extensive practice, Boruto eventually becomes able to form the technique with both his hands rather than using shadow clones, the aid of which his father relied upon for years. It was stated by Sasuke that Boruto's Rasengan was much smaller compare to Naruto's, however he eventually becomes able to create a normal-sized Rasengan after more training along with using the technique with one hand.

Taijutsu
Boruto has shown a degree of taijutsu proficiency since he was an Ninja Academy student, being able to spar with his father's shadow clones. He is also capable of using the Gentle Fist fighting style by utilizing open palm strikes. But only for a limited time since he does not possess the Byakugan, meaning he cannot target an opponent's chakra points. He had also shown a high degree of agility and speed during his battle with the kenjutsu specialist Yurui where their physical abilities were nearly even, therefore his opponent had to resort to ninjutsu to gain the upper hand. Including during his match against Shikadai, when he was trying not to get caught in Shikadai's shadow.

Shurikenjutsu
Sasuke also taught Boruto how to curve his shuriken in shurikenjutsu, increasing their accuracy and lethality.

Nature Transformation
Though Boruto's Rasengan is initially much smaller, he unconsciously applies wind-natured chakra to it, enabling him to hurl the Rasengan across distances. While it loses its physical form shortly after being thrown, the wind and force continue on course unseen, tricking the opponent to let their guard down as sufficient damage is inflicted when it makes contact. As a sign of his prodigal abilities, Boruto learned to use Wind Release, Lightning Release, and by the time of his Chunin Exams, Water Release without any training required.

Cooperation Ninjutsu
Boruto has shown some skill in cooperation ninjutsu through his training with Sasuke. He was able to replicate his master's and his father's feat against Momochi Zabuza, which took out Momoshiki's Rinnegan to prevent him from absorbing anymore ninjutsu by using a kunai and shadow clone. He and Naruto can also perform their own version of the Parent and Child Rasengan, which was strong enough to defeat Momoshiki.

Epilogue
When classes at the Ninja Academy are dismissed early due to the Five Kage Summit taking place in Konoha. Boruto tries to convince his classmates to help him pull a prank, believing a successful prank despite all the security would be a testament to their abilities. But all of his classmates refused, so he defaces the Hokage Monument by himself. He's stopped by Uzumaki Naruto, who orders Boruto to clean up the graffiti, but Boruto sadly suggests that they do together. Naruto reminds him that, as the Hokage, that the entire village is like his family Including that he can't always make time for his children. He asks that Boruto endure the hardship of their frequent separation.

As their graduation from the Ninja Academy approaches, Boruto and his classmates train with their parents to prepare them for their final exams. Naruto sends one of his shadow clones to train with Boruto and the two spar. Having not had the opportunity to do this with his dad in quite some time, Boruto tries very hard to be capture so they can spend more of time together. Because Naruto has other responsibilities that he needs to focus on; his adviser, Nara Shikamaru, catches Boruto with his Shadow Imitation Technique so they can bring the game to an end.

When Naruto leaves the village on a mission shortly afterwards. Boruto is sent by his mother to see Naruto off and deliver a lunch to him, but when he arrives late at the village's gate he finds that Naruto has already left. Annoyed, Boruto decides to go home despite Mitsuki's observation that they could still catch up to Naruto. At this suggestion, Uchiha Sarada and Akimichi Chocho suddenly appear and offer to deliver the lunch for him. In the end, Boruto reluctantly agrees. When they finally return, Boruto thanks Sarada for what she did. She insists that she should be thanking him, as she got a lot out of the experience and has now decided that she wants to become Hokage. But an angry Boruto scoffs at the idea, calling it weak.

Boruto movie
After becoming a genin, Boruto is assigned with Sarada and Mitsuki to Team Konohamaru. They are given a mission to capture a panda, but he gets into an argument with Sarada over whether it is a regular panda or an aggressive bear that looks like a panda. Boruto shows off his prodigious talents by using multiple shadow clones with ease, which earns him praise from Mitsuki but a scolding from Sarada for being reckless. Mitsuki comments how Boruto might become Hokage due to his father being the Seventh Hokage and his grandfather being the Fourth Hokage, but Boruto reacts to this with disinterest. After the bear is caught, Boruto reacts in amazement when Konohamaru gives them a demonstration of his Kote and uses it to launch a Rasengan, which ends up veering off course and destroying a farmer's house, much to the local's anger.

When they report to Naruto, Boruto energeticly shouts that the mission was easy with his prodigious skills including that he doesn't need teamwork. But Naruto shows disdain due to Boruto’s actions. Boruto gets into an argument with his father when Naruto asks his son to address him as "The Seventh" rather than "Dad". Naruto then asks Knohamaru what has he been teaching Boruto. But Boruto tells Naruto that he doesn't know anything about him, and not to blame Konohamaru. Including that he never bothers to watch over him, since he already has learned Wind Release, Lighting Release and now Water Release. Then with the topic of teamwork, Naruto tries to remind the importance of teamwork to Boruto. But he said he could do missions with just his clones. Angered that his father is still spending more time working, Boruto reminds Naruto that it's Himawari's birthday and he better be at home or else Boruto will never forgive him.

Then Katasuke entered soon after to ask Naruto's permission to allow the participants of the upcoming Chunin Exams to wear his latest invention, the Kote, a forearm device that stores various types of ninjutsu inside of it. However Naruto refused since it did not show one's true potential as a shinobi and saw it as a sign of cheating. Since Naruto had forbid the Kote to be use in the Chunin exams, this angers Boruto by telling his dad that times have change and so will the way we fight. He leaves the office saying that his father's timeline is lame.

Afterwards, Boruto meets up with Katasuke, who gives him a new software for his video game and asks Boruto if he would be taking part in the Chunin Exams, which Boruto says that he will not. At a restaurant, Boruto joins Shikadai and Inojin to play video games before he is joined by Sarada and Mitsuki. Sarada reminds Boruto about her dream of becoming Hokage and Boruto is keeping her from it by refusing to register for the Chunin Exams. Boruto retorts that if she wants to be Hokage, she better be alone for the rest of her life or else it will cause problems to those around her. Shikadai and Inojin ask Boruto beat the boss in their game, but Boruto gives them his new software to make the game easier. This makes them upset at Boruto for cheating and they leave, much to his confusion.

Sarada tells Boruto they should take part in the Exams so they can show off their abilities to Naruto, and he finally gives in after finding out that Naruto has to watch the finals. Boruto asks Sarada if her father, Sasuke, will come watch her in the Exams, to which she replies she doubts it. Boruto says his father told him that Sasuke is considered to be the other Hokage and refers to him as "Uncle Sasuke". As they talk about Sarada's father, Mitsuki says his parents told him that Sasuke is the only person who can fight evenly against Naruto, prompting Boruto and Sarada to wonder about his parents. Before they can ask him, Hinata and Himawari arrive to pick up Boruto and get ready for Himawari's birthday party. Boruto then runs in to his mother and sister and they walk home together.

Upon arriving home, Boruto was surprised but happy to find that his father showed up. Himawari's birthday goes well until Naruto starts carrying her birthday cake to the table, but he suddenly disappears dropping the cake on the table. It turns out however, that it was revealed to have been a shadow clone. After seeing this, Boruto got angry and lashed out about this to his mother. Hinata tried to remind him that Naruto's job as Hokage was important to the village, but Boruto wasn't swayed. He retorted that his grandfather wasn't alive when Naruto was a child and Naruto must have been lucky to never have parents, stating he envies his father for never having to put up with this sort of negligence. Which had saddened Hinata who told him that even though he and Naruto are different, she said to him that he was lucky to have a father here. Boruto says that he is disappointed with Naruto for Himawari's sake, and not his own. Rushing upstairs, Boruto finds Naruto's old, tattered jacket and throws it out of the window in a fit of rage.

When he heard the doorbell ring, he thought it was his father and was about to punch him before he saw it was Sasuke instead, and apologised. As Sasuke asked Hinata for Naruto's whereabouts, Boruto realised Sasuke was his father's rival and starts to admire him. After leaving from his meeting with Naruto, Boruto tries to attack Sasuke, who confronts him. Boruto asked Sasuke to take him as his student because there was someone he wanted to defeat. Unimpressed, Sasuke asked Boruto if he could use the Rasengan, to which Boruto said no, and Sasuke said he couldn't be his student if he couldn't use it.

That same night, Boruto goes to Konohamaru and demands to be taught the technique. However, Boruto is dismayed to start off the training with a water balloon and a rubber ball. Though it takes many days and Boruto finds the use of water balloons as a training device ridiculous, he eventually learns to create a Rasengan on his own. After a few days of training, Boruto was able to perform the Rasengan and showed it to Sasuke, who noted its' small size. Thinking Sasuke meant he failed, Boruto angrily threw the Rasengan and ran off, unaware, the Rasengan disappeared and struck a tree, which Sasuke noticed and decided to accept him as his student. Boruto goes to Katasuke and says the training didn't bring results, as he tells Katasuke. While comforting him, Katasuke entices Boruto to use the Kote to create the Rasengan, telling him that by using it, he will be able to surpass his father. Boruto agrees to use it without hesitation.

With the Kote, Boruto is able to create a standard-sized Rasengan and shows it to Sasuke, who notices the Kote under Boruto's sleeve and was reluctant to take him as his student. After an outburst from Boruto about his earlier promise, Sasuke agrees to take Boruto on as his student and help prepare him for the Chunin Exams so that Boruto can impress Naruto. Boruto progresses well under Sasuke's guidance, yet he still wishes to be the standout of the Chunin Exams. While taking a break from their training, Boruto asks Sasuke about Naruto's weaknesses. Sasuke elaborates that Naruto was full of weaknesses, but he overcame them to become the person that he is now. Sasuke teaches Boruto the shurikenjutsu, but Boruto complains it is Sarada's specialty because of her being Sasuke's daughter and an Uchiha. Sasuke responds by creating multiple clones and telling Boruto that the shadow clone technique is Naruto's specialty but hard work makes it possible for others to learn.

The first round of the Chunin Exams is a true or false quiz regarding a question about the fifth volume of a novel series. Knowing that Sarada had read the series, Boruto asks her for the answer, only for her to tell him that even she doesn't know as she was not aware there even was a fifth volume. Sarada asks Boruto which answer he thinks her father would choose and he replies with false since Sasuke isn't the conventional type. When he asks her why, Sarada says that she wants to take a different path than her father. When it is revealed that both answers are incorrect, Boruto and his teammates find themselves falling down a pit with a lake of ink at the bottom. Boruto is saved by Sarada and Mitsuki from falling into the ink. Boruto notices that the ink stretches across to both pits and Sarada deducts that the quiz was a sham from the start since there isn't even a fifth volume and it is revealed that anyone who falls into the ink is disqualified. Boruto feels hopeless when he realizes he would have been disqualified if not for his team members quick actions.

After winning the first round, Boruto was annoyed with Naruto congratulating him via email and not sending a shadow clone instead, leaving him more desperate to do anything to win his father's recognition. Progressing to the second round, they are forced to compete against other teams for flags. While Sarada and Mistuki leave to attain other teams' flags, Boruto stays behind to defend their flag and is attacked by three Kirigakure genin brothers. Boruto resorts to using the Kote when he was overpowered by the three brother's shadow clones. He is able to defeat them by using Water Release and Lightning Release on his opponent knocking them out. He then radios Sarada to finish the round, which leds to him and his team to pass the second round. Once they regroup, Sarada scolds Boruto for not being as happy as he should, but then tells him that his eyes are even bluer than his father's, which makes him blush and is given a fright when Mitsuki unexpectedly gets in his face to look for himself.

Boruto returns home that evening and is congratulated by his mother and sister for passing. As he sits in his room recuperating, Boruto starts to feel guilty about using the Kote. But Naruto enters his room in person shortly afterwards to personally congratulate him on passing the second round. Naruto tells Boruto not to lose to Shikadai in the next round and attempts to initiate a fist bump with his son, but Boruto doesn't return the gesture since he didn't want to risk his father discovering the Kote on his arm and simply smiled at him. Narut bumps Boruto on the chest and tells him that he'll be watching before he leaves. Boruto remarks afterwards that Naruto's brief words could have been put in an email, but he is nevertheless moved to tears by his father coming to see him.

In the third round, Boruto was first matched against Yurui. Desperate not to lose in front of his father, Boruto resorted to using the Kote so he attacks from afar and was able to defeat Yurui and progress through the round until he was finally matched against Shikadai. During the match, Shikadai catches him and all four of his shadow clones with the Shadow Imitation Technique. Although Boruto can't directly do anything to escape, he is able to use the Kote to make several dozen shadow clones, and won after Shikadai forfeit the match. However, Naruto had realized that Boruto was wearing a Kote after Hinata used her Byakugan and was disappointed that Boruto had been cheating throughout the exams. He takes his son's forehead protector, then deems Shikadai as the winner, and disqualifies Boruto, telling him they will talk when they get home. Angry, Boruto berates him for giving him a lecture when Naruto is never home and therefore doesn't realize that if he had payed more attention to Boruto then he would never have been in a situation such as this.

Then Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuk Kinshiki appear soon after to capture Naruto and start attacking the arena, causing massive chaos. As Naruto urges Boruto to go somewhere safe, Momsohiki knocks Naruto out of the arena. Boruto tries to fight Momoshiki with the Kote, only for Momoshiki to absorb all of his attacks, leaving him scared and defenseless, however Naruto jumps in to protect his son just in time. They are then joined by Sasuke and Sarada. Momoshiki reveals that he and Kinshiki plan to take the world's charka for themselves to grant themselves unfathomable power without ever needing to train to earn any of it. To this end, their plan reminds Boruto of the Kote. Momoshiki attacks with the jutsu he's absorbed, including those earlier used by Boruto.

When Sarada shows fear at Momoshiki's impressive display of his strength, Boruto creates a Shadow Clone to protect Sarada. Naruto protects them with his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode - which Boruto hasn't seen before - though even with help from Sasuke's Susanoo it cannot shield all of Momoshiki's attacks. While trying to defend themselves as well as all the people evacuating, Naruto ends up sacrificing himself to protect Boruto, Sasuke, and Sarada from Momoshiki's jutsu while he engages Momoshiki with his Tailed Beast Mode and asks Sasuke to take care of Boruto. Before Naruto disappears, he turns to smile at his son and Boruto who is amazed by Naruto's power calls out to him before falling unconscious.

When he wakes up, he finds Sarada and Mitsuki watching over him. As they explain to him what happened, Boruto hears his sister crying out to their mother and finds her being healed by Sarada's mother, Haruno Sakura. Demanding to know what happened to his mother, Sakura explains to Boruto that Hinata was injured after trying to save Naruto from Momoshiki and Kinshiki. Realizing that his father is gone, Boruto became distraught and runs out of the hospital. Once outside, he trips over a box and as he gets up. He sees the Kote on his wrist and angrily rips it off, and throws it away because it unfavorably reminds him of Momoshiki. He then starts walking again continuing to the Hokage Tower.

Feeling guilty for how he treated his father, Boruto wonders into Naruto's office and finds his father's old jacket. He then puts it on, and comments on how uncool he looks. Sasuke, having followed Boruto, agrees with him. Sasuke informs Boruto that he received scorn at the Exams for cheating, is technically not a shinobi anymore and that if it was not for his little sister who adores him and his mother who worries over him, he'd be just like how Naruto used to be. Boruto demands to know how his father overcame his hardships, to which Sasuke replies that he should ask Naruto himself and further elaborates that he can still sense Naruto's chakra and intends to rescue him. Boruto asks Sasuke why he would bother with someone like him, to which Sasuke replies that he believes Boruto is a strong shinobi who could potentially surpass Naruto one day and Sasuke's number one student including that just like Naruto that he is a idiot who dislike losing.

With his confidence restored, Boruto decides to join Sasuke and the other four Kage on the mission to rescue Naruto. As they prepare to leave, Sasuke lends Boruto his old forehead protector. Sasuke uses his Rinnegan to open a portal to the dimension where Naruto is being held and just before they leave, Hinata arrives with, Sakura, Sarada and Mitsuki, to stop Boruto from going in fear for his safety. However, seeing Boruto wearing his father's old jacket and Sasuke's forehead protector, she is reminded of Naruto when he was young and decides to trust him. Boruto asks Sarada and Mitsuki to look after everyone before following Sasuke into the portal.

Once arriving in the other dimension, they find Momoshiki attempting extract Kurama from Naruto and they engage in battle. As Sasuke and Boruto then rescue Naruto from the tree. Naruto asks about why is Boruto here and why he's wearing the jacket. Sasuke says that many things happened but Boruto has become a shinobi. After freeing Naruto, his father comments on how seeing Boruto wear his old jacket was like looking at his own shadow clone. When Boruto asks Naruto if he looks a little cool in his father's old jacket, Naruto tells him that he does even more than before. Which surprised Boruto on figuring out that his father has been watching him all along. When Naruto tries to apologize for inadvertently neglecting him. Boruto says that he is fine with things remaining the same, and he only asks Naruto that whenever they can meet up now that instead of giving lectures. That he just wants Naruto to tell him about his childhood past, to which Naruto tells Boruto ok.

After Momoshiki absorbed Kinshiki, Boruto watched on in awe as Naruto and Sasuke fought against Momoshiki and defeated him. However Katasuke, who had followed them, rushed in and used his device to shoot a barrage of attacks at Momoshiki, which Momoshiki absorbed and used his new strength to attack them. Boruto is protected by Sasuke from Momoshiki's attacks.

While Momoshiki had Naruto and the Kage trapped using the Shadow Imitation Technique and was preparing to finish them off, Sasuke ordered Boruto to use his Rasengan to stop Momoshiki and although Boruto was hesitant that his jutsu would not work, Sasuke encouraged him that he can give his best. Boruto was ultimately successful in hitting Momoshiki with his Vanishing Rasengan and thus able to free Naruto and the Kage. When Sasuke tells Boruto to use his Rasengan again, he is unsure again but his father tells him that it's alright and Boruto is okay with Sasuke's plan. With his father's help, Boruto is able to create a giant Rasengan while Sasuke began to distract Momoshiki long enough for Boruto to attack him, but little did Momoshiki know that both Boruto and Sasuke were working together in order to take out the Rinnegan eye in his palm, which allowed him to absorb ninjustu attacks. While Boruto and Naruto's chakra were mixing together, Boruto was able to see Naruto's memories, including the many losses he had to endure in order to become the shinobi he is today. Boruto then attacked Momoshiki with his giant Rasengan and Momoshiki, unable to absorb, was destroyed and as a result, Boruto's right arm was severely burned. After Momoshiki is killed, Boruto is standing up after using the Parent and Child Rasengan. Then they all return to Konoha.

After the battle, Boruto becomes very popular among the villagers and is even considered as a young hero, because of his involvement in defeating Momoshiki. He also poses for a photograph with Naruto, Sasuke, and the other four Kage.

Boruto's life sees many changes once he comes back home. One morning, Boruto eats breakfast with his family while playing his video game, while using a non-hacked video game character from the start without cheating, even though it makes the game more difficult. Including that Naruto is home more often and Boruto is supportive of his grueling work schedule. Follow by that Boruto no longer hates the Hokage title, but he still doesn't want to be Hokage. As he prepares to meet with his team and Naruto to head over to his office, Boruto tells his mother not to worry about mending his torn jacket as he thinks it looks cooler the way it is. As Boruto and his father head out, the two of them bump fists and encourage each other to do their best. While going to meet his team, Boruto used shadow clones to attend the same type of interview as Naruto did with Boruto being asked the same question and Boruto answering exactly like his father did “To be a Ninja, you need to remember, it’s about: Effort and Will-Power!” Then his clone that has been interviewed disappears after that.

Boruto and his teammates are given a mission to capture the giant panda, which is running loose in the village. Mitsuki comments on all the attention Boruto has been receiving lately but Sarada is still angry at Boruto for cheating and Boruto says he has already apologised many times to her about that. Sarada questions Boruto on whether or not he wants to become Hokage now, however Boruto explains to her that he has no interest in becoming Hokage but he supports Sarada's dream of becoming Hokage and he will protect her no matter what, which makes her blush. He also adds that his goal is to become a ninja like Sasuke and follow his own ninja way. Boruto and his teammates then leap into the air from the Hokage Monument, while he prepares to launch his real standard sized Rasengan.

In the post credits, Boruto and Sarada capture the wild panda, which leaded to another argument on the Panda being a bear again. But once Mitsuki interrupted them by saying they get along very well. Boruto once again asks Mitsuki who his parents are. Mitsuki replies that he is the son of Orochimaru, which shocks Sarada, but Boruto asks Sarada who Orchimaru is. Therefore Sarada doesn't hear Boruto's question, due to her being curious and asks Mitsuki if Orochimaru is his mother, or father. When Mitsuki says it doesn't matter, Boruto gets angry and demands to know who Orochimaru is.

Video Games
Uzumaki Boruto is a playable character in the following video game:
 * Naruto Shippuuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

Uzumaki Naruto
Boruto's father is Uzumaki Naruto, a legendary tall man with good talent and an appearance similar to him. Boruto has a loving relationship with his father, by often playing with him whenever he has free time. Years later on the day of his Seventh Hokage inauguration, Naruto got caught in a fight between Boruto and Himawari. With the result of his sister's teddy bear having to accidentally been destroyed by Boruto, the fight is what led to Himawari finally awakening her byakugan. Naruto then stepped in to defend Boruto from Himawari's Gentle Fist-strike and took the blow instead, rendering him unconscious. This shows that he cares about Boruto's safety, even when he tries not to harm both of his own children.

Although he loved his father, Boruto's relationship with him grew more complicated as Naruto's duties as Hokage detracted him from spending enough time with his family, which made Boruto feel neglected, including to hate the Hokage title. Boruto would occasionally pull pranks such as defacing the Hokage Monument just to seek his father's attention. Despite reprimanding Boruto for his behavior, Naruto understood what his son wanted and lectured him to endure any hardship as a true shinobi would. Eventually, Naruto reached a compromise by using his shadow clones to play hide-and-seek with Boruto, with the condition that he can't use Sage Mode since that'd make the game too easy, which also helped with his son's training. Boruto even doubted his father didn't care about his family, leading him to frequently lash out in anger at his father for not paying attention to him.

However, Boruto would react with dismay at the mention of him following in the footsteps of his father and late grandfather, since he often felt like he lived in both of their shadows. Boruto would even get annoy when Naruto asks his son to address him as "The Seventh" rather than "Dad". When Boruto's team reported to Naruto on the mission with catching a Panda. Boruto energeticly shouts that the mission was easy with his prodigious skills including that he doesn't need teamwork. But Naruto shows disdain due to Boruto’s actions. Then with the topic of teamwork, Naruto tries to remind the importance of teamwork to Boruto. But he said he could do missions with just his clones. Including that he never needed to train when he learned the Shadow Clone Technique. Follow by that he already has learned Wind Release, Lighting Release and now Water Release. Naruto then asked Knohamaru what has he been teaching Boruto. But Boruto tells Naruto that he doesn't know anything about him, and not to blame Konohamaru. Including that he never bothers to watch over him. Boruto was even angry that Naruto has become more strict and serious compare to back then when he was not the Hokage yet.

He even warned Naruto to show up at Himawari's birthday party, or he will never forgive him. But when Katasuke entered soon after to ask Naruto's permission to allow the participants of the upcoming Chunin Exams to wear his latest invention, the Kote, a forearm device that stores various types of ninjutsu inside of it. Naruto refused since it did not show one's true potential as a shinobi and saw it as a sign of cheating. Since Naruto had forbid the Kote to be use in the Chunin exams, this angers Boruto by telling his dad that his timeline is lame before he leaves the office.

When Naruto sended a shadow clone to attend the party, Boruto was angry that Naruto didn't keep his promise. Boruto felt bad knowing that his father was an orphan, but did not know what Naruto had to endure when he was young. Including that Naruto told Boruto that his late grandfather was not around when Naruto was a child. But knew that his father told him that his late grandfather was the Fourth Hokage. Due to this, Boruto knows that his father had never learned about or experienced a father-son relationship. Boruto even admitted that Naruto must have been lucky to never have a father around to spend time with him, which had saddened Hinata. In Naruto's defense, Hinata even told Boruto that he was lucky to have a father where as Naruto did not. Boruto then throw his father's old dirty tattered jacket out of the window in a fit of rage, by calling Naruto's old jacket uncool.

As a result, Boruto tended to rebel against his father and used any means to surpass his legacy, even by cheating in the Chunin Exams. However, after being caught cheating by his father, and being removed from the exam. Boruto blamed his father for how he turned out because Naruto never had the time to properly lecture him. However after Boruto witness seeing his father nearly die by risking his life to protect him. This experience changed Boruto, making him understand the true meaning of being a shinobi and finally respecting Naruto including the title of Hokage.

This was proven true, when Naruto was capture during Momoshiki and Kinshiki's attack. Boruto decided to go save his father while also wanting to learn about his father's past instead of his weakness. In which it had led him to wear his father's old jacket, and on the fact that the attack had made Boruto extremely worry for his father's wellbeing and safety. Including that he finally felt guilty for how he treated his father. Since Sasuke told Boruto that he was repeating the same thing that Naruto went though at his age; such as being hated by the entire village along with not being consider to be call a shinobi, taking a certain item that was reveal to be forbidden, including only having one adult worry about him and having a younger child admiring him as his older sibling.

Once arriving in the other dimension, they find Momoshiki attempting extract Kurama from Naruto and the four kage engage in battle. As Sasuke and Boruto then rescue Naruto from the tree. He asks about why is Boruto here and why he's wearing the jacket. Sasuke says that many things happened but Boruto has become a shinobi. After freeing Naruto, his father comments on how seeing Boruto wear his old jacket was like looking at his own shadow clone. When Boruto asks Naruto if he looks a little cool in his father's old jacket, Naruto tells him that he does even more than before. Which surprised Boruto on figuring out that his father has been watching him all along.

Naruto even apologized to Boruto for not always being there for him. Boruto says that he is fine with things remaining the same, and he only asks Naruto that whenever they can meet up now that instead of giving lectures. That he just wants Naruto to tell him about his childhood past, to which Naruto tells Boruto ok. Naruto was even surprised that Boruto can do the Rasengan, and he even told Boruto that he needs to trust in Sasuke when it comes to the Uchiha making good plans with the Rasengan. Which had led Naruto to help Boruto do the Parent and Child Rasengan during the battle with Momoshiki. While Naruto and Boruto's chakra were mixing together, Naruto was able to have Boruto sense his feelings in the Rasengan, including the many losses he had to endure in order to become the shinobi he is today. After the battle, Naruto is able to reconcile with his son after this, by vowing as a father to always watch his son grow up as a great shinobi. Then Naruto posed for a photograph with Boruto, Sasuke, and the other four Kage. Naruto even tended to Boruto's injuries by bandaging his son's left arm, since it was seriously injure and had giving him back his forehead protector. After his father was rescue, Boruto finally stop referring to his father as "Shitty Dad" and started to refer to him as "Dad" again.

Due to the fact that Boruto finally decided to take his training seriously by wanting to be a great shinobi like Sasuke. Which had led him to finally make the normal actual size Rasengan that Naruto uses. Naruto and his son are able to have a normal family moment together at the end of the movie, where Naruto and Boruto sat together at the dinner table while Hinata fixes up Boruto's jacket. Including that Naruto is home permanently since his schedule was lessen to have him spend time with his family, without having to work too long at the Hokage office, and Boruto is supportive of his grueling work schedule. Follow by that Boruto no longer hates the Hokage title. Boruto even starts to wear his jacket torn up now thinking it looks cool now, since he took back his words of calling his father's old jacket uncool. Then as Boruto left to meet with his team and Naruto left to go to work, both wished each other to do their best and bumped fists with each other. Now that he starts to admire his father again, it turns out that Boruto used a shadow clone to attend the same interview that Naruto did on the day of Himawari's birthday. Including that everything that he taught Boruto about how to be a shinobi have finally reached him. This had brought a smile on Naruto's face since he was watching the interview in his office.

Hyuga Hinata
Hyuga Hinata is Boruto's mother. Boruto loves his mother dearly and shares a good relationship with her. However, he is very wary of her feelings and tends to get angry on her behalf when she appears saddened that Naruto is home less, even though Hinata fully supports Naruto's Hokage duties. While Boruto hates seeing her sad, he at times is responsible for making her cry when his anger gets the best of him; such as saying Naruto was lucky to have never experienced neglect from his parents because they were dead, and this deeply troubled Hinata (even made her cry in the novel), and Boruto knew he crossed the line and felt guilty.

Hinata loves her son dearly and is always concerned for him due to his troubled relationship with Naruto. She tries to make the best out of their family situation by offering Boruto unconditional love and attention, and reminding him that, despite his busy work, Naruto still loves them all. When Naruto was captured by Momoshiki and Kinshiki, and Hianta was injured while trying to save him, Boruto was worried about her condition. Hinata tried to stop Boruto from going with Sasuke and the other Kage to rescue Naruto because it was a dangerous mission, but when she saw Boruto wearing Naruto's old jacket and Sasuke's headband, she was reminded of Naruto when he was younger and Hinata decided to put her faith in her son. After Boruto left, she asked that he take care of his father. In the aftermath, Hinata was knitting Boruto's jacket and he told her not to have it perfectly knit because having his jacket all tore may it look cool that way, and she smiled. She even wishes him to have a good day when he is out on missions.

Uzumaki Himawari

That doesn't mean he doesn't get afraid of Himawari when her temper gets the better of her. On the day of Naruto's inauguration, Himawari wanted to bring her toy panda but Boruto said no because he knew he would have to end up carrying it and didn't want to be an embarrassment in front of the village. They ended up tearing its head off and Himawari awakened her Byakugan in anger, and attacked Boruto, who then hid in a closet while vowing to never push her over the edge again. He cares about his sister so much that he threatened Naruto not to be late for her birthday or he would never forgive him. But since Naruto didn't show up as planned and sensed a shadow clone instead. Boruto told Hinata that he was angry at Naruto for Himawari's sake and not his own. When Boruto passed the second round of the Chunin Exams, Himawari happily congratulated him (hugged him in the novel). Himawari loves her brother very much, seen when she happily cheered for him during the third phase of the Chunin Exams and asking her mother if Boruto was in trouble when he got disqualified for cheating. When their mother was injured in the hospital for trying to save their father, Boruto and Himawari were shown being worry at Hinata's bedside.

However Boruto doesn't know that he was named after his uncle Neji overall.

Hyuga Hiashi
Boruto shares a close relationship with his maternal grandfather, Hiashi.

Namikaze Minato
Namikaze Minato is Boruto's late paternal grandfather. Because Minato was Hokage like Naruto, Boruto had a low opinion of his grandfather. Even feeling like he was in Minato's shadow. He also went on to say that because Minato was dead while Naruto was growing up, Naruto was lucky to have never experienced being neglected by his parents. But he did started to like his grandfather a little bit when Konohamaru told him that Minato was the one who created Naruto's second signature technique, the Rasengan. However, after he and Naruto fought Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Boruto started respecting the title of Hokage and began to respect the memory of Minato, whom he refers to as "Grandpa". Boruto would even refer to Minato as "Grandpa Hokage", a habit he inherited from Naruto who would always address Hiruzen the exact same way.

Uzumaki Kushina
Uzumaki Kushina is Boruto's late paternal grandmother. Not much is revealed about his feelings for her, but it is noted that his personality is similar to hers, in regards to being energetic, short-tempered, and having her verbal exclamation.

Uchiha Sasuke
Boruto's sensei is Uchiha Sasuke, another man with great talent including his father's best friend, and number one rival. Although they didn't formally meet until Boruto was a genin, the two quickly developed a strong bond. Because Sasuke is Naruto's best friend and rival, Boruto refers to him as "Uncle Sasuke" and looks up to him. Despite knowing that Sasuke once betrayed the village and was a criminal. Once Sasuke heard from Naruto about Boruto's laziness when it comes to training, and preferring to take shortcuts to increase his abilities including to complete missions. In order to do all of this by not wanting to get his clothes dirty, including that he acts like Sasuke when it comes to being arrogant and not wanting to use teamwork, Sasuke decided to do something about it, in order to make Boruto understand how Naruto was at his age. But when Boruto asked him to be his student so he could surpass his father, Sasuke offered him a deal. Which was he would accept Boruto as his student if he mastered the Rasengan, knowing how difficult it takes to perfect the technique and forcing Boruto to take his training seriously for once.

Although he was initially unimpressed with Boruto's desire to surpass Naruto, Sasuke was impressed with Boruto's small Rasengan due to that he can subconsciously apply a change in the chakra nature, including that the boy didn't notice how dirty his clothes were. Even when he then discovered that Boruto had created a normal sized Rasengan the next day by using a Kote, and was disappointed in the boy. Sasuke felt obligated to keep his promise to Boruto and agreed to train him, hoping their training will persuade Boruto to work hard to increase his abilities like how he and Naruto had to. Sasuke teaches Boruto the shurikenjutsu, and often lectured him to use his head to succeed in his training rather than worrying how to complete the training, as well as reminding him that hard work makes it possible for others to learn techniques that are specialties to certain clans, like Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique.

As they trained together, Sasuke told Boruto about how Naruto was as a child; describing him as someone who would always ranted about becoming the Hokage; and was a stubborn loser. But Boruto said he wanted to learn his father's weaknesses, and Sasuke explained that Naruto was full of weaknesses but he worked hard to overcome them, and become Hokage. He told Boruto that it was best for him to understand the past Naruto rather than the current Naruto.

As Momoshiki and Kinshiki began their rampage in Konoha, Sasuke protected Boruto and Sarada from getting killed and promised Naruto that he would take care of Boruto before Naruto was captured. With his father's disappearance, this devastates Boruto greatly and leaves him guilt-ridden for how badly he treated Naruto. Knowing lecturing the boy would do no good, Sasuke instead sympathized with him and tells him that he is repeating the same mistakes his father had at his age. When Boruto asked Sasuke how endure from his past mistakes, and why would he bother with someone like him. Sasuke elaborates that, as Naruto's son, Boruto has the potential to surpass his father. Including that Boruto is his number one student, and just like Naruto he is a bigger loser because he hates to lose. This conversation finally Boruto out of his guilt-ridden state, and makes him feel confident again.

Sasuke truly believes Boruto can be a stronger ninja than Naruto, and had faith in the boy to the point where he felt it was acceptable to bring Boruto along with him, and the other Kage to rescue Naruto. Sasuke seems to be fond of Boruto and is willing to risk his life to protect Boruto, and trusts Boruto's abilities. Which is seen when he told Boruto to use his Rasengan to stop Momoshiki from killing the Kage and when Boruto doubted it would work, Sasuke told him to trust him or else he would have never brought the boy along. As a result of his bond with Sasuke, it finally Boruto reconcile with his father for good. Including that Boruto decided to make it his dream to become a ninja like Sasuke; a ninja who protects the village from the shadows, and supports the Hokage. Which is why Boruto promises to Sarada that he will protect her when she becomes Hokage.

Haruno Sakura
Boruto is fond of Sakura, whom he refers to as "Aunt Sakura", due to her being married to Sasuke and her being best friends with Naruto.

Uchiha Sarada
Uchiha Sarada is Boruto's childhood friend and rival. They have known each other for as long as they can remember due to their parents being close friends and former teammates. During their early childhood, Boruto paid little attention to Sarada, as he was more interested in pulling off pranks to get his father's attention. Sarada, however, was interested in his actions and tended to follow him around the village, and labeled him as annoying. However, Sarada sympathized with Boruto because his estranged relationship with his father was similar to the one she shared with her father. Before they graduated from the Ninja Academy, Sarada thanked Boruto for helping her realize that she wanted to become the Hokage one day, which surprised him but then he scoffed the idea as weak.

After becoming genin and being placed on the same squad, Boruto disregarded working together with Sarada, who tended to scold him for his selfishness and being reckless on missions. When Boruto argued with his father about putting his work above their family and warning him not to miss Himawari's birthday party, Sarada was concerned for Boruto. When Boruto refused to enter in the Chunin Exams because he didn't want to be near the Hokage title, Sarada scolded him that he was keeping her from getting closer to her dream and the Hokage title wasn't a heritage. Boruto said she can be the Hokage but she better be alone for the rest of her life or else it would cause problems to those around her. Sarada then tried to cheer Boruto up by telling them they should enter in the Exams so they can impress Naruto and Boruto agreed, with Sarada remarking how simple Boruto is.

When Boruto first met Sasuke, he noticed how similar he was to Sarada. As Boruto was undergoing training to learn the Rasengan, he was unaware that Sarada was watching him the whole time and expressed happiness for him when he finally mastered the technique. She even defended Boruto on his behalf in front of her father when Boruto thought he failed to impress Sasuke, who said he never failed Boruto and he was going to accept the boy as his apprentice and this made Sarada very happy. Boruto explains to Sarada he hopes to learn his father's weaknesses from her father so he can use "his" power to surpass Naruto, to which Sarada says it will be "our" power and reminds Boruto that they need to become chunins to go up against Naruto. When Boruto reaffirmed his decision to enter in the Exams, Sarada happily replied he wasn't as irritating.

In the first phase, when they had to answer a true or false question on the fifth volume a novel series, Boruto asked Sarada first, knowing she read the series and is the most intelligent member of their team, but she said she didn't know there was a fifth volume. During the second phase, Boruto suddenly thought of Sarada when the opposing team was about to capture the flag and Boruto resorted to use the Kote to win, hinting that, despite his disdain to the Hokage, Boruto still didn't want Sarada to lose her dream. Afterwards, Sarada commented that his eyes were bluer than Naruto's, causing him to blush.

During the third phase, Boruto fought in the matches with the sole intent of getting his father's recognition and wanting to help Sarada get closer to her dream. When Boruto was caught cheating and got disqualified, Sarada was deeply saddened and felt Boruto had betrayed her because she always believed in him. As Momoshiki and Kinshiki attacked, Boruto was worried for Sarada as she became fearful towards Momoshiki and produced a shadow clone to protect her. Sarada also stayed by Boruto's side as he was unconscious from the battle in the hospital and became worried for him when he learned of his father being captured. Before leaving to rescue Naruto, Boruto asked Sarada to look after the village for him. After this, Boruto and Sarada reconcile, though Sarada remained angry at Boruto for cheating despite that he apologized several times to her. Boruto tells Sarada that he has decided to become a ninja like Sasuke, who supports the Hokage from the shadows and has also decided to be Sarada's right-hand man when she becomes Hokage, as well as vowing to protect her, which causes her to blush.

Due to Sarada's temper, Boruto can get afraid of her and is willing to appease her by hiding his true feelings or lying to her about certain things that would upset her. While being close friends, they are polar opposites; Boruto is energetic and inconsiderate whereas Sarada is friendly and polite. Despite their frequent bickering, Boruto and Sarada get along really well and care deeply for each other. They later begin to develop romantic feelings for each other.

Mitsuki is Boruto's teammate and former classmate. Mitsuki immigrated to Konoha and entered in the Ninja Academy sometime before their graduation.

Boruto and Konohamaru have a good relationship, even though Boruto tends to disregard Konohamaru's teachings on teamwork and Konohamaru scolding Boruto for pulling off pranks and not taking training seriously. Boruto was impressed when Konohamaru introduced the Kote to his students and used a Rasengan with it. Determined to impress Sasuke and become his apprentice, Boruto asked Konohamaru to teach him the Rasengan and Konohamaru agreed, thinking it would be an honor. Boruto was initially dismayed to learn he had to start off by using a water balloon and then a rubber ball, but he gave into the harsh training once Konohamaru explained how it took his grandfather, Minato, three years to create the technique and another six months to perfect it.

Nara Shikadai
Nara Shikadai is Boruto's childhood classmate. Boruto and Shikadai often argue and get on each other's nerves due to their opposing personalities. However, they are actually good friends and consider each other comrades.

When they fought each other in the Chunin Exams, Shikadai had Boruto captured with his Shadow Imitation Jutsu and asked him to give up, but Boruto used his Kote to make a dozen shadow clones. Amused but unaware of the cheat, Shikadai forfeited. When Boruto's cheat was revealed and Shikadai was declared the winner, Shikadai was surprised while Boruto was dismayed at having been caught by his father.

However, Katasuke thinks of Boruto as an idiot and planned to use the boy to help him win public favor of using the Kote rather than having rookie ninjas train.
