Boruto Uzumaki
うずまきボルト |
Boruto Uzumaki (うずまきボルト, Uzumaki Boruto) is a shinobi from Konohagakure's Uzumaki Clan and a direct descendant of the Hyūga clan through his mother. Initially nonchalant in his duties as a member of Team 7 and resentful of his father and the office of Hokage because it left him with no time for his family; Boruto eventually comes to respect and reconcile with his father and his role as Hokage, yet vows to become like his mentor Sasuke Uchiha — a support system for the Hokage and the village.
Background
On the day that Naruto was to be inaugurated as the Seventh Hokage, his sister Himawari wanted to bring her panda toy to the ceremony. However, Boruto feared that he would end up carrying it, so he tried to take it away from her. When the toy's head was ripped off in the ensuing tug-of-war, Himawari awakened her Byakugan and attacked Boruto in her anger, despite his vehement apologies. Sensing her killing intent, Naruto protected Boruto and was knocked out in the process due to the attack landing on one of his chakra points. Fearful of what an attack that could knock out his father would do to him, Boruto tried to run from Himawari, although she easily located him hiding in a closet
Personality
Like his father, Naruto, Boruto is loud, energetic, and stubborn. He even possesses a verbal tic, "dattebasa" (だってばさ), that is similar to Naruto's "dattebayo" and his paternal grandmother's "(da)ttebane" ((だ)ってばね). However, compared to his father, Naruto at his age, Boruto is more refined and crafty, (seemingly) knowing all the shortcuts, as well as more mature in knowing how the world works. Between the two, he is the more sarcastic. Unlike Naruto, Boruto doesn't yell what he feels, which is the biggest difference. Despite his laid-back attitude, he is actually very studious. Conversely, Boruto's upbringing has also been different than that of his father's: Boruto's family is always there for him. Boruto also has many friends, and his acquisitions came easily and naturally to him from a combination of prodigious talents and nurturing parents. Boruto is also very serious when it comes to his friends and family, backing them up and making sure they're safe is one of his habits though he can also be stubborn at times.
For these reasons, Boruto has a high opinion of himself and freely brags about his abilities. His cocky nature, however, has made him put no value on teammates or teamwork, believing he can do anything on his own. He believed in achieving success is the main point of anything, even taking insincere shortcuts to do so. One example is utilizing a cheat program to easily win a video game. Another is using the Kote to create a façade of performing advanced techniques to earn his right to be Sasuke's disciple, and later swiftly resorting to the same device to defeat opponents once they seem to have an upper hand. However, at the same time, he does not look down on anyone else and is very loyal to his friends. Without hesitation, he has repeatedly come to the aid of Denki when he was being physically harmed. He also avoids confrontation or name-calling when someone is talking behind his back, completely ignoring the situation altogether unless his friends get hurt, which shows his maturity. Even when a friend was revealed to be an enemy, he remained determined to help bring them back from their dark path.
Boruto deeply loves his mother and sister - becoming indignant when either are hurt physically or emotionally. Both Sasuke and Naruto commented that Boruto resembles each other when they were younger. It's noted that Boruto has displayed characteristics of both shinobi when they were younger, causing Naruto to state that his son is something entirely different from both of them; for example, he displayed Naruto's mischievous habits to get attention and Sasuke's desire for power even by using shortcuts. Similar to that of their parents, Boruto shares a complicated relationship with Sasuke's daughter, Sarada. The two are often at odds, with the young Uchiha valuing the Hokage post while Boruto showing utter disdain for it and even saying he would rather die. Despite this, Boruto cares for Sarada and her dream as witnessed during the Chūnin Exams when he voiced his desire to win so as to not diminish Sarada's progress to becoming Hokage.
Although Boruto loves his father, Naruto, and is overjoyed when they spend time together, their relationship has been strained ever since Naruto became the Seventh Hokage. This is mainly because of the job's many responsibilities that prevent Naruto from being around all the time, it has led Boruto to feel neglected and becoming resentful toward the Hokage title, only seeing it as a position that takes his father away from him and declaring it (aware that Naruto grew up as an orphan) as only fit for those with no loved ones. Eventually, after Boruto is exposed to the complications of his father's life, he finally understands, and forgives his father's busy schedule, and stops trying to take the easy options in life.

Boruto has spiky, blond hair, blue eyes, and two whisker markings on each of his cheeks. Overall, he bears a great resemblance to his father, though he has also inherited his mother's facial features such as the shape of her face and eyes. Boruto's hairstyle resembles a leaf, his ahoge (アホ毛, Literally meaning: foolish hair) serving as the stem. According to Sarada, his eyes are bluer than Naruto's.
