Background
Boruto travels into the past alongside Sasuke while pursuing Urashiki Ōtsutsuki. Their mission is to prevent Urashiki from stealing the young Naruto’s Nine-Tails chakra without causing changes to history. Boruto is immediately fascinated by the older version of Konoha, particularly its smaller Ichiraku Ramen shop and unfamiliar businesses. 194
Naruto quickly notices Boruto’s resemblance and familiar chakra, then confirms through questioning and genjutsu that Boruto is his future son. Boruto reveals that his mother is Hinata Hyuga and that, in his world, Naruto becomes the Sixth Hokage. 194 195
Although initially instructed to preserve secrecy, Boruto repeatedly reveals information about his identity and future world. After Naruto accepts him, Boruto stays under his protection, meets the younger Hinata, trains with Naruto, and witnesses abilities that his own father never displayed in Boruto’s timeline. 196 197 200 201
