Sarutobi Konohamaru

Sarutobi Konohamaru (猿飛木ノ葉丸) is a genin level shinobi of Konohagakure after which he was named. He hails from the Sarutobi clan, and is a member of Team Ebisu. Many years later in Konoha, while being a jonin rank shinobi now he officially leads Team Konohamaru, which consists of Uzumaki Boruto, Uchiha Sarada and Mitsuki. He works very hard to one day be as strong as his idol, Uzumaki Naruto and to become the next Hokage.

Background
Konohamaru was born on the day of December 30th to two very elite ninja who served as both an jonin, and a Anbu that are directly under the Hokage's command. Konohamaru was also born as the only Grandson to the late Sarutobi Biwako, and the late Sarutobi Hiruzen. He is also the Grandnephew to the late Sarutobi Asuma, who was his father's older brother. He was named after the village of Konohagakure by his grandfather. Because Hiruzen was the Third Hokage, Konohamaru was never referred to by his actual given name by the villagers, he was only called "Honorable Grandson" (お孫様). Wanting to be acknowledged as a person and not simply as the Hokage's grandson, Konohamaru had began trying to defeat Hiruzen in order to replace him as the next Hokage.

Personality
Although he's introduced midway through a failed attempt to defeat his elderly grandfather, Konohamaru initially finds a certain enjoyment in his status as the Hokage's grandson. He is often spared from being punished for his actions, and will goad people who are unwilling to take a hand against him. When Uzumaki Naruto shows no restraint towards him and freely hits him, Konohamaru becomes impressed by him and declares Naruto to be both his rival and role model, while variously calling him "Oyabun" (オヤブン) and "Niichan" (兄ちゃん). Like Naruto, Konohamaru also tends to be loud, headstrong, and spends an inordinate amount of time inventing perverted ninjutsu. Including in the anime, he also even impersonates Naruto's kabuki ninja registration photograph when taking his own.

While most of Konohamaru's reverence for Naruto is well deserved, some of Konohamaru's praise for him is owed more to his own gullibility and denseness. When he trips during their first meeting he assumes Naruto did something, unwilling to blame his own clumsiness. Konohamaru's Cloak of Invisibility Technique is constantly discovered by Naruto not because of Naruto's skill but rather because Konohamaru's disguises are so poor. Naruto encourages this to a degree, never refusing the compliments and never correcting Konohamaru's perception of him as a lady's man.

When frustrated or excited he ends many of his sentences with "kore" (コレ), much like Naruto does with "dattebayo". In Part II, Konohamaru and his teammates would still sneak up on Naruto. An example being when Naruto become the Hero of Konoha for defeating Pain. When Naruto was heading to the rebuild Ramen Ichiraku Bar, Konohamaru and his teammate were sneaking up on Naruto in person. But Naruto notice their chakra presence, and used tactics to get away from the group while they kept asking him for an interview so they can show it to the current Ninja Academy students that look up to him.

Konohamaru has shown immense emotional endurance, by recovering from tragedies close to his heart, such as the deaths of his grandfather and his uncle, Sarutobi Asuma, in a relatively short time. Therefore displaying an ability to cope with heart-shattering grief that goes beyond his years. This aspect of his personality is likely in emulation of Naruto's take on the Will of Fire, as Naruto also had to cope with immense loss and depression at a young age, but still stuck to his optimistic and willful outlook.

Konohamaru also picks up a number of good qualities from Naruto, such as the realization that becoming the Hokage is a long process that there are no shortcuts for. This commits Konohamaru to his studies in the Ninja Academy and makes the job of his tutor, Ebisu, considerably easier. In his quest to rise to Naruto's level, Konohamaru masters a number of jonin level jutsu while still being a genin. He also adopts a refusal to run from a fight, even against superior opponents. In the anime, Konohamaru eventually moves past his competition with Naruto for the Hokage mantle, deciding instead that he will become the Hokage only after Naruto has had his turn.

Years later, Konohamaru becomes extremely emotional at the prospect that he can mentor Naruto's son, Uzumaki Boruto, in the same way that Naruto mentored him. His compassion for Boruto has grown to brotherly love, by secretly loving how Boruto would often refer to him as "Big Brother" even though he wants Boruto to call him sensei and wants greatly to see Boruto flourish. He has also formed a strong bond with Hyuga Hanabi, who also has a similar compassion for Boruto.

Konohamaru is shown to care greatly for all his students, especially Boruto, who is the son of his mentor, Naruto. He was overcome with joy when Boruto asked Konohamaru to teach him the Rasengan as Naruto was the one who taught it to him. Despite his great care for his students, in the anime, he was shocked and initially conflicted when the revelation that Mitsuki was the son of Orochimaru, the man who killed Konohamaru's grandfather, by having a difficult time in gathering his true feelings until Mirai spoke with him of it.

Appearance
Konohamaru has short spiky dark brown hair, and black eyes. He also has a small chip in his tooth. In Part I, he wore a yellow shirt with the Konoha symbol in red, grey shorts, and a long blue scarf. When he was first introduced, Konohamaru wore a grey helmet that had an orange frowning face on the right side, a red circle on the left side, and had a hole at the top for his hair to stick out of.

Eventually, he replaced the helmet with the pair of goggles that Naruto gave him after Umino Iruka gave the former his forehead protector.

In Part II, Konohamaru grew in size and wears a similar outfit as his previous one, with longer pants and a pale green jacket with a dark green stripe down the middle. He also retains his long scarf and now wears a Konoha forehead protector in place of his goggles. In some of Konohamaru's appearances in the anime, he is depicted with blush marks on his cheeks.

Two years after the war, his outfit consists of a grey/black zip-up jacket. While wearing dark grey pants, sandals, and bandages around both his arms. He does not wear his scarf at all during this time. For Naruto and Hinata Hyūga's wedding, he wears a formal attire.

Several years later, upon reaching adulthood, he has grown into a tall young man with spiky hair, while wearing his long blue scarf around his neck again. In the Boruto movie, Konohamaru wears the new standard flak jacket along with a short blue scarf around his neck, dark blue pants and black sandals. He also wears a simple black elastic headband and a red armband with the Sarutobi crest on his left arm.

Abilities
Konohamaru's performance in the Ninja Academy was rather poor, failing to properly use basic techniques such as the Cloak of Invisibility Technique and Transformation Technique. After meeting Naruto, he tried branching out into variations of the Sexy Technique, with no practical use. As a genin in Part II, Konohamaru began displaying aptitude as a shinobi, engaging the Naraka Path during Pain's Assault. During the rebuilding efforts of Konoha after Pain's invasion, Konohamaru was in better physical shape than his teammates, being able continue to fetch and carry building materials (wood, etc.), while his teammates are forced to sit and rest for periods of time, not having his stamina. By adulthood, he had achieved the rank of Jonin, and his skills were held in high regard by Aburame Shino. He is also noted to be quite a formidable opponent by Kashin Koji. In the anime, he also began using a pair of chakra blades, like his late uncle, and was capable of fighting Jūgo with it long enough to snap him out of his rampage.

Taijutsu
Konohamaru has displayed a high level of speed and evasive skills, as shown when he could dodge most of the Naraka Path's attacks in their short skirmish. In the anime, he has shown some skill in taijutsu, being able to hold his own in a scuffle with Watase. During said scuffle, he demonstrated a high level of pain tolerance, as he was able to grab a kunai without flinching, although his hand received a bleeding wound from it. Konohamaru also has the most stamina out of his team-mates, as shown during the work to rebuild Konoha after Pain's Invasion, while Konohamaru was easily carrying wood, Udon and Moegi were worn out. As an adult, he shown noticeable taijutsu prowess, able to effortlessly block Boruto's assault and just as easily subdue him. He can also be able to easily defeat several academy students during the Genin Exams, including the Sharingan-wielding Uchiha Sarada. He could also perfectly counter the attacks of two mercenary ninja, while in mid-jump holding a person.

Ninjutsu
After meeting Naruto, much of his arsenal becomes comprised of sexy techniques he learned from or based off Naruto's. He did however with some instruction from Naruto learn the jonin-level Shadow Clone Technique. In the anime, he has also demonstrated aptitude with other high-level techniques such as the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique as well as with the generic Body Flicker Technique. In the anime, by the time he became a Ninja Academy teacher, Konohamaru became able to summon giant toads to aid him in battle. His personal summon being Gamagoro. He can counter fūinjutsu placed on him by an enemy.

Rasengan
Sometime during Part I in the Manga (Part II in the anime), Naruto taught Konohamaru how to use the Rasengan. His version of the Rasengan is, like Naruto's, performed using a shadow clone to control the power of the chakra, but is smaller than Naruto's (regular-sized in the anime). It was also shown that Konohamaru holds the Rasengan with a shadow clone the way Naruto originally held his Big Ball Rasengan. After hearing how he used Rasengan against Pain, Naruto praised him, and promised Konohamaru that he would teach him how to make The Big Ball Rasengan. Later, in the anime, Konohamaru learned how on his own to perform the Big Ball Rasengan, greatly shocking Naruto. By adulthood, Konohamaru could apply Wind Release to his Rasengan, a feat only Naruto Uzumaki was able to accomplish.

Nature Transformation
In lieu of his great talent, the anime has shown that Konohamaru has also displayed competent use of nature transformation, being able to use Fire, Wind and Yang Release techniques. His proficiency with Fire Release in particular has allowed him to learn the Sarutobi Clan's Fire Release: Great Flame Technique, as well as his grandfather's Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. In the anime, he is also able to use Lightning Release, creating a stream around him to repel enemies in order to shock anyone who comes into contact with him.

Intelligence
In Part I of the anime, Konohamaru shows that he is quite knowledgeable about chakra and fairly skilled in making traps. After the timeskip, he is shown to be fairly analytical in battle, able to quickly analyse and understand the mechanisms of his opponent's technique.

Introuduction arc
Konohamaru barges into his grandfather's, office intent on finally defeating him and thus replacing him as Hokage. He immediately trips on entering and assumes that Uzumaki Naruto, the only other person in the room, is responsible. Although Ebisu, his tutor, tried to discourage this, it was only through Naruto's influence that Konohamaru realised that there would be no shortcut to becoming Hokage. Naruto defeat Ebisu with his Harlem Sexy Technique. This made Konohamaru realize of geeting the Hokage Title by force. Instead, it is a dream that would take many years of hard work and discipline to realize.

Later while teaching the students about summoning alongside Shino, Konohamaru demonstrated the art by summoning Gamagoro. His performance gained great popularity with several of the students. After another argument began between the various students, Shino voiced his dismay at the students' continued bickering, Konohamaru noted that Shino's own fellow students had a similar squabbling back in the day, Konohamaru also noted that such drive helps one mature. This inspired Shino to organize a racing competition against the various students. As the contest began heat up, Boruto tried to summon a creature to aid him, unexpectedly summoning some kind of snake creature. As Boruto was too inexperienced, the creature began to rampage, attacking everyone, forcing Konohamaru to intervene and stop it with his Rasengan. Afterwards, Konohamaru began to wonder how Boruto was able to summon such a creature.

While talking to Shino and Moegi, Konohamaru gets excited when Moegi thinks Boruto will have potential to become a ninja. Konohoamaru thinks training Boruto and looking after him is an honor because Naruto ask them to. But he is shock when Moegi hears him talking about Naruto to much as a drag.

Sometime later, Konohamaru looks upon the Hokage Monument and criticizes Uzumaki Boruto's handiwork and about disturbing the Hokage on this important day. Iruka however told him that Boruto is merely acting out to get his father's attention. Konohamaru responded back to Iruka that just like Naruto, his former Ninja Academy sensei is too soft as well. Once Naruto and Boruto came to him and Iruka, Konohamaru scolded Boruto for the prank, to which Boruto didn't care which annoyed Konohamaru.

As the class passed the written exams and advanced to the final test, the practical exams, they were brought to the training fields. There, Konohamaru joined Anko and Shino as proctors for the exam, where they would fight the students for 24 hours to evaluate their respective performances. To make things fairer for the students, the teachers each wore special markers on their chest that if hit would eliminate said teacher from the exam. The head proctor however turned out to be Kakashi. Employing his infamous bell test method, he told the students that only the student who gets the bell from him would pass the test.

As the test began, Konohamaru and the other teachers swiftly began subduing various students and capturing them. By nightfall, the proctors began to wonder if their students would figure out the true nature behind the test. Soon afterwards, the remaining students, following a plan by Boruto, were able to free the captured students. Then facing off against the teachers once more, Konohamaru was tricked by Boruto and Sarada into thinking they were the other, letting Sarada capture him in a genjutsu to throw off his perception, letting them strike the marker to defeat him. By the end of the test, Kakashi chose to pass all the students as while none of them got the bell, they learned the true lesson of the test; loyalty and team-work.

For Team 7's first mission, they were assigned a D-rank to aid the Green Banks Village who were being attacked by bandits for their crops. Upon arriving, they learned that the only way for normal people to enter the village was by a great retracting bridge. They also learned that the previous village leader, who oversaw the bridge's construction, passed away recently, leaving his daughter Kiri to inherit the position. Kiri, while uncertain about trusting in such young ninja, revealed that she withheld the full nature of the mission when she requested it. As she revealed that the attackers were actually trained ninja, which made Konohamaru concerned as this would make the mission at least B-rank in danger.

While Konohamaru considered whether or not to continue the mission despite the deception, the village was attacked, prompting Boruto rushed off. Boruto was quickly pressured by the older ninja, but was saved by Konohamaru, as the foe quickly retreated after realising that he was a Konoha-nin. As Konohamaru realised that there was more being hidden, he confronted Kiri. She confessed that the enemy ninja were after the deed to the bridge, which was the main source of income for the village. Later that night, as another villager was attacked, Team 7 went into action, only to find that several of the villagers were being controlled by genjutsu. They managed to harmlessly subdue the villagers, but Kiri was abducted.

Afterwards, Team 7 met with the enemy shinobi to exchange the deed for Kiri. The enemies however intended to kill everyone. Konohamaru dealt with Hidari while Mitsuki and the others retreated with Kiri. While initially subdued by his opponent, Konohamaru escaped with his Rasengan. Once showing his power by destroying a rock surface, Hidari was overwhelmed in fear and fainted. With this and the genin defeated the other enemy, Ashimaru, the mission was completed.

Konohamaru later sent his team to deal with a bank robber, Haguruma. After they convinced the man to turn himself in, it was learned Hagurama was manipulated into doing this, as it was a diversion for the Byakuya Gang to steal jewels from a high-level vault.

Later, the villagers supporting the Byakuya Gang began acting out against companies accused of corrupt actions. Konohamaru joined his fellow ninja in working to pacify the situation. Ultimately, it was discovered that several of the protestors were under genjutsu. Konohamaru helped in dispelling the genjutsu. This along with Naruto's speech was able to peacefully end the riots.

Konohamaru is shown when his team gets a mission. But he scolds Boruto when the latter wants to get the mission that Team Udon has. Before leaving Konohamaru speaks to Udon for old times sake.

While he delivers a mission report to Shikamaru, who is dealing with Naruto's paperwork while Naruto is away meeting with the daimyō. Konohamaru notices papers regarding the upcoming Chunin Exams, and Shikamaru tells him to think about his genin. Konohamaru discusses the subject with Moegi, Udon, and Shino, pointing out Shino's students, who have caused their share of trouble, will be participating.

At nighttime while eating, Konohamaru says he is unsure if he'll recommend Boruto to take the exam. Because he is worry that Boruto has relied too much on luck so far, and that failure in the exam will crush him. However Konohamaru gets drunk with Hanabi. After seeing that she favors Boruto just like him.

Team 7 was later assigned to follow a trail of bandits who stole from the Thunder Train. When they arrived at the mines where they thieves were last seen, they learned that one of the thieves was arrested after he had come out completely traumatised, claiming that "the white one" killed his allies. This concerned Konohamaru, wondering if it could be a White Zetsu from the Fourth Shinobi World War. Team 7 decided to investigate more carefully. Inside, they found the three other thieves brutally killed, and soon after met the culprit, a mutated White Zetsu.

While doing so he finds a scarf knitted by Naruto's mother, which he gives to Naruto to remember her by.

Boruto movie
Now a jonin, Konohamaru is placed in charge of a team consisting of, Uzumaki Boruto along with Uchiha Sarada and Mitsuki. During a mission to capture a panda attacking a nearby village, Konohamaru then uses the newly-invented Kote to subdue it. While demonstrating it afterwards he accidentally destroys a farm.

When they report to Naruto, Boruto wants to make sure that Naruto isn't a shadow clone. However he tells them that he isn't a shadow clone. Naruto also insists that Boruto address him as "The Seventh" rather than "Dad" in his office. Naruto then asks how did the mission go, but before Knohamaru can answer. Boruto energeticly shouts that the mission was easy with his prodigious skills including that he doesn't need teamwork. Naruto tries to lecture Boruto with the topic of teamwork, even trying to remind him the importance of teamwork to Boruto. But he said he could do missions with just his clones. Including that he already learned Wind Release, Lighting Release and now Water Release. 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. 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 once Katasuke left the office. He then leaves the office saying that this isn't the lame era Naruto grew up in. Konohamaru then calls out Boruto's name as he slams the door.

Konohamaru tries to enter his team in the upcoming Chunin Exams. Although Sarada and Mitsuki are interested, Boruto is not. He has a change of heart after meeting Uchiha Sasuke and approaches Konohamaru to teach him the Rasengan, a prerequisite to train under Sasuke. Konohamaru enthusiastically agrees and immediately begins instructing him in how to use it. After days of hard training, Boruto is ultimately successful. Sasuke got Konohamaru's agreement to let him take over in training Boruto, while also thanking Konohamaru for his good work in training Sarada in his absence.

Konohamaru watches his students' matches during the Chunin Exams' final rounds a few weeks later. When the exams are interrupted by Kinshiki and Momoshiki, Konohamaru helped evacuate people from the arena.

At the end of the movie, Konohamaru and his students are assigned to the mission of once again capturing the giant panda that was running loose within the village. While Konohamaru attempts to handle it himself at first, he is forced to flee when the panda begins to chase him. He is lastly seen during the end credits.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations Manga
In the anime, when the lead actors of a popular TV drama, Tomaru and Ashina received a death threat if they continued filming their show, Team 7 was assigned to protect the actors alongside Team 10. Konohamaru and his team were assigned to watch Ashina, who much to their chagrin was a prima donna who basically made the team act as her personal servants.

Later during filming, a masked Ame-nin attacked the set. After the assailant escaped, Konohamaru and Moegi investigated events, determining that either the assailant thoroughly researched the place from how seamlessly he got through security or he had an inside informant.

Later, masked attacker managed to capture Tomaru and left a ransom demanded of 20 million ryō which Ashina was to deliver. Before the exchange, Konohamaru managed to find and capture the attacker. Still suspicious of the situation, Konohamaru feigned returning to the village while instead disguising himself as the attack to complete the transaction. Ultimately, he tricked Ashina to slip up and reveal herself as the mastermind behind the assaults as she desperately wanted to rekindle her fame as an actress. After a failed suicide attempt on her part, Ashina accepted defeat and peacefully surrendered to be arrested.

In the anime, when two Chunin-level gate guards were attacked by unknown assailants, the village was put on lockdown. Konohamaru joined Naruto and his advisors when overseeing Ino probe one of the guard's mind for answers, learning that Mitsuki had left willingly with the attackers. When Naruto revealed to the others that Mitsuki was in fact Orochimaru's son, much outrage followed from learning that Naruto would permit an offspring of the man who killed the Third Hokage live in Konohagakure, let alone keep it a secret. Naruto rationalised this on the grounds that Orochimaru's conduct as changed from before and that his aid in investigating the Ōtsutsuki. Despite this, noting the unpredictable nature of Orochimaru, the meeting ended with deeming the Oto-born boy as a threat.

Later, Konohamaru decided to confront Naruto about how he hid from Konohamaru the truth that Mitsuki is the son of the man who killed Konohamaru's beloved grandfather. Naruto insisted that he wanted Konohamaru to first get know Mitsuki before learning the truth on the grounds that Mitsuki himself had no part in the murder of the Third Hokage. This left Konohamaru conflicted, as he indeed came to care very much for Mitsuki as his student. Regardless, he insisted on joining the effort to track down and retrieve Mitsuki. His request however was denied as he was too emotional on the matter.

Later, still conflicted on how to deal with Mitsuki, Mirai approached him, who also learned the truth about Mitsuki and felt a similar nature about the loss of their grandfather. Later, when it was learned that extreme punishment may come Mitsuki's way for his desertion, Konohamaru insisted that he be the one to bring Mitsuki back. While there was some concern about Konohamaru being given this job, Naruto agreed. In addition, because they had no approval from the Tsuchikage to enter Iwagakure, Konohamaru was required to remain unseen and hide all ties from Konohagakure, donning his old ANBU outfit before setting out.

While there was some concern about Konohamaru being given this job, Naruto agreed. In addition, because they had no approval from the Tsuchikage to enter Iwagakure, Konohamaru was required to remain unseen and hide all ties from Konohagakure, donning his old ANBU outfit before setting out. Along the way, he found multiple Konoha-nin completely immobilised.

Upon arriving in Iwagakure, he found Akatsuchi being attacked by the Akuta, and saved him. As Konohamaru ventured deeper into the village, he found that a certain area was heavily guarded by the Akuta, concluding that the enemy base must be near.

His efforts eventually found a secret underground laboratory, shocked at the work that was being conducted. He was then approached by Mitsuki.

While considering to attack his student, Konohamaru instead unmasked himself and confronted Mitsuki on his actions. The boy plainly said he was doing what he believed was right to do and promised to answer for his actions. Trusting his Mitsuki, Konohamaru decided to watch as Mitsuki sabotaged the base with explosives. Afterwards, Konohamaru freed the Fourth Tsuchikage, letting her go to save her village.

Ultimately, the Fabrications were defeated by the combined effort of Konohamaru's students and Ōnoki, who passed away from the effort. As the Hokage and an escort arrived to help, Konohamaru promised to give a full report on the events. He confronted Mitsuki, surprising the boy when he hug him and said he was happy to have Mitsuki back. Upon returning to Konohagakure, Konohamaru and Sai debriefed Mitsuki on his actions. Ultimately, accepting Mitsuki's actions not treacherous and beneficial to Iwagakure, it was decided to pardon him, but with the punishment of revoking his shinobi status. Konohamaru requested to take responsibility over their actions to reinstate his team's individual shinobi status. While reluctant to do so Kurotsuchi's gratitude persuaded Naruto to reinstate Konohamaru's students, much to his joy.

Some time later, Team 7 and Team 15, minus Hanabi who had another assignment, were assigned to investigate the random attacks on village from its nearby wildlife. They were assigned also to work with Tosaka, an ornithologist. Upon arriving, the group was attacked by strange-looking birds. At the village, they learned that many people attacked by the mutated birds quickly became sick and were covered in Cursed Marks. When learning of Jūgo being in the area, Konohamaru speculated that Orochimaru was involved in this. He then split the team up to investigate, pairing himself with Mitsuki and warning everyone to not engage the man alone.

Konohamaru and Mitsuki then found the rampaging Jūgo attacking Boruto and Sarada. The jōnin-sensei held his own against Jūgo until he managed drain Konohamaru severely of his chakra. Konohamaru blasted Jūgo away with his Big Ball Rasengan and snapping him out of his blood-lust. The entire Konoha team soon approached the man. When noticing the medical injections he had, another mutated bird then attack. Before Boruto could counter, Jūgo stepped in and captured the bird, draining it of its Cursed Seal before noting his dislike of Boruto for having previously killed an infected bird. Later, Tosaka concluded from a blood test that the outbreak and Jūgo were not related. With Konohamaru too weak to join the field, he instructed Team 15 to report to the village while Team 7 observe Jūgo from afar.

Later, Konohamaru was saved by Mitsuki, who removed him in time to avoid an assassination attempt by the Land of Rivers' research team head. After recovering somewhat, Konohamaru decided for him and Mitsuki to destroy the enemies' boat near the river, making sure they could not escape.

Once succeeding, Konohamaru and Mitsuki found a cure to the cured seal and brought it back to the lake with the remaining infected birds. Konohamaru gave the cure to Suigetsu Hōzuki, who drank the cure to take on its properties and morphed into it to rain down the cure on all the infected birds. With it learned that Tosaka was the mastermind behind the outbreak, Konohamaru was eager to bring him back to Konoha to answer for his crimes, only to learn that Jūgo and his friends had slipped away with Tosaka as their hostage.

In the anime, while Konohamaru was talking with Boruto in the village about prioritising their time as ninja, they saw a woman running away from several men. Konohamaru quickly intervened and carried her away from the pursuers. Afterwards, she introduced herself as Yoimura Remon and explained that she was sightseeing the village when she randomly bumped into those men. On Boruto's idea, they decided to show Remon the sights, including the Hokage Monument and why it was so important to Konohamaru. During the tour, Konohamaru and Remon began developing an attraction for each other. Later, it was revealed that Remon was a noblewoman who was dodging her bodyguards and had the responsibility to return. The following day, after Sarada and Chōchō pointed out Konohamaru's growing feelings, Boruto suggested that he and his sensei return Remon's borrowed handkerchief as an excuse to see her again. Upon arriving at her mansion, they were surprised to see Remon preparing for a ceremony. Even more, they were shocked to see how uncharacteristically cold she was to them suddenly, by demanding to never see them again.

Konohamaru provides his team with instructions through the earphones during their mission to capture Mujina Bandits. Although Boruto eventually ruins the plan of tracking them to their boss, Konohamaru still considers the mission a success after arriving at the scene. Later, Konohamaru asks Metal Lee to call Boruto to the Hokage building, where he introduces Madoka Tento. The son of the Fire Daimyo, to Boruto and entrusts the latter with the mission of protecting him during his visit to Konohagakure. Boruto is dissatisfied with the task and tries to object, but Konohamaru states that the Daimyo personally picked up Boruto for this mission. Also, he privately tells Boruto that he should learn about such things as another side of the ninja career. Three days later after Boruto's bodyguard mission was finished, Konohamaru presented his entire team with their first B-rank mission. While confident they were ready, Konohamaru warned them that their status as ninja would fall if they failed their first high-level mission and as punishment would have to thoroughly clean up his dirty office.

On the day of the mission, Konohamaru was shocked to see that his entire team was a no-show. He later learned that they instead worked together to save the daimyo's son who was kidnapped by the Mujin Bandits. While applaud his students for simultaneously saving Tento and capturing the Mujin Bandits, he insisted that they would still have to be punished for abandoning their official mission.

Later on a blimp slipping through the Land of Fire's air defence network undetected and crashing, Konohamaru and Mugino are sent on mission to investigate it. Upon arriving at the blimp on the Land of Fire's border, he discovers that inside contains a container that was recently opened. While unsure what was inside, he has a dreadful feeling about it. While inspecting the container, he found a data unit. After downloading its information, he found Mugino badly injured, looking up to find the assailant, which turned out to be a group of advanced self-moving Puppets. Konohamaru managed to escape with Mugino, as the puppets seemed programmed to only protect the blimp. Later, while tending to Mugino's injuries while in a cave, Konohamaru was found by his students and Katasuke Tōno. While discussing what happened, they were confronted by Ao, who held them at gun-point to question them about what they learned inside the blimp.

Ao then unleashed a barrage of Fire Release Bullets from his gun, making everyone realizing that he a scientific ninja tool. Konohamaru, with help from Katsuke, was able to destroy Ao's gun. As Konohamaru asked if this had anything to do with the organisation Kara, Ao unleashed a hidden weapon from his prosthetic shoulder, blasting Konohamaru. He then attacked Katsuke and stole one of his technique-absorbing gauntlets. After testing it himself on Boruto's Rasengan, Ao concluded that now they had to die to keep the organisation a secret. Mugino then held Ao down long enough to collapse the cave on him and Ao to save his allies. His sacrifice however turned futile as Ao quickly clawed his way out of the rubble, prompting Konohamaru and his team to retreat. As they took shelter, Katsuke admitted to his shame that the enemies' access to advanced ninja tech was because they brainwashed him into giving up his research. As Konohamaru insisted that they had to return the data he found on the blimp to Konohagakure. Boruto however insisted that they had to stop before he continued to abuse the technology that Katasuke gave him.

The team then devised a plan to take advantage of Ao's high usage of ninja tech. To begin their counterattack, Mitsuki, Sarada, and Konohamaru pressured Ao with a barrage of ninjutsu attacks, all of which were quickly absorbed by the gauntlet. Boruto then attacked from Ao's blindside during the assault with his chakra-blade, but the seasoned enemy saw through the attack, quickly blocking with his prosthetic arm, forcing Boruto to drop his weapon. Ao then grabbed the tech weapon and stabbed Boruto in the chest. Boruto however, revealed to be a shadow clone, began the next part of the team's plan, grabbing onto Ao, letting Mitsuki restrict Ao's hand on the activated prototype weapon, which quickly drained Ao of his stamina. Ao managed to break free and faced off against Boruto's Rasengan. He attempted to absorb it, but Boruto revealed to be wearing the other absorbing gauntlet, using it to cancel the two gauntlets' absorbing power long enough to hit Ao with the Rasengan.

As the team surrounded the seemingly defeated foe, Konohamaru noticed a sneak attack from a bunch of Mirror Drones. He blocked the attack on Boruto with his own body, knocking him out. Boruto however was able to outsmart Ao and defeat him. Once Konohamaru came to, he was impressed by his student's growth. The moment was ruined however when Kashin Koji appeared and killed Ao with his Summoning: Boiler Toad. The mysterious man than calmly introduced himself.

After the introduction Konohamaru questioned him about Kara. Refusing to answer, Koji erected pillars around the team to paralyse them. Prepared for such a situation, Konohamaru used the seal on his chest to free himself from the fūinjutsu. Facing Koji alone, Konohamaru attacked him with taijutsu, swiftly followed by attacking him with his Rasengan, leading to Koji creating his own Rasengan to counter Konohamaru's. Questioning who in the world his opponent is, Konohamaru noticed a toad on his hip, which explodes in flames that engulfs him. Yelling out, Boruto subconsciously activated his Kāma, which absorbed all the flames. Having collapsed, Konohamaru questioned what the mark on Boruto was, followed by Koji choosing to retreat.

Departing the scene with Katasuke, they encountered destroyed puppets a fair distance away from the crashed blimp, followed by finding an unconscious boy. As they began to examine the boy, Kawaki, for injuries, they discovered that he had a matching seal to Boruto's on his left palm. As Boruto's seal began to hurt Kawaki, also felt the pain, making him abruptly wake up and destroy the area within his vicinity. Questioning who the team were, Konohamaru identified himself, and asked for information regarding the crash. Refusing to provide information and wanting to be left alone, Boruto revealed to the boy his mark, resulting in Kawaki believing they were pursuers from Kara. As they tried to correct him, Garō made his presence known, announcing his intentions of recovering Kawaki. Kawaki resisted, showing the ability to manipulate his body structure into weapons.

As he watched the fight between Kawaki and Garō, Konohamaru stressed to his team that the new developments would increase their mission to S-rank, urging them to act cautiously. When Kawaki killed Garō with a blast, Konohomaru was protected from it by Boruto, who activated his Kāma, using it to absorb part of the explosion. This convinced Kawaki even more that they were with Kara. After Kawaki fainted from overheating, and Katasuke determined his body to have been modified into a scientific ninja tool, they decided to take him to meet with the Seventh Hokage.

Despite Naruto and Konohamaru trying to ease him, Kawaki immediately tries to escape the hospital room, but is paralysed by Shikamaru, who assures him if they wanted to do anything with him, they'd already have done it.
