Appearance

Boruto has sapphire-blue eyes and is later recognized by an empty right sleeve after losing his arm. His appearance changes drastically when his Ōtsutsuki and Purifier powers manifest. 228 661 695

• Right arm — Missing by the hunters’ trial; he continues fighting and using ninjutsu one-handed. 661
• Ōtsutsuki transformation — Ashen-white skin, horn-like growths, pure white eyes, and black chakra. 630
• Karma manifestation — White, rune-like markings spread across his body when a hidden power takes over. 662
• Planetary Agent form — Light patterns beneath his skin can dim themselves to preserve a near-human appearance. 695

Personality

Boruto is defined by resilience and a refusal to abandon people in danger. Even after losing an arm and being warned that a rescue attempt would likely kill him, he chooses to enter the hunters’ game rather than become indifferent to another person’s suffering. 658

His greatest internal struggle is preserving his humanity while wielding powers that repeatedly threaten to overwrite it. During Momoshiki’s attempted possession, Boruto rejects the promise of becoming a “higher existence,” grounding himself in his family, friends, and the people he wants to protect. 630

As he matures, Boruto becomes more strategic and responsible. He leads missions with an emphasis on scouting and protection rather than annihilation, proposes long-term responses to Ōtsutsuki-related crises, and insists that powerful beings such as Shiki should be guided rather than treated only as tools or threats. 637 683 687

History

Boruto first arrives in the era of the Fourth Hokage alongside Sasuke Uchiha, pursued through a spatial rift by Ōtsutsuki Pū Shi. Sasuke remains behind to delay their pursuer while Boruto is sent to find Naruto, leading him to encounter Jiraiya in the past. 222

During later operations under Sasuke, Boruto participates in the mission to Amegakure’s Tower of God. He protects Kiyomi during the escape, rescues her from the collapsing structure, and returns with the team after the tower’s destruction ends the Uchiha regime in Amegakure. 539 541

Boruto’s Karma becomes a defining danger when it first drives him berserk. He attacks Kiyomi while out of control, and Kawaki is gravely injured shielding her from him. 591 His struggle intensifies against Shinshiki, where Momoshiki’s consciousness nearly consumes him after he awakens a powerful Ōtsutsuki form. Naruto and Sasuke help him regain control. 630

After becoming a Jōnin, Boruto leads missions alongside Sarada, Mitsuki, and Shinshiki, balancing his duty to Konoha with his role as a husband to Kiyomi and father to Kota. 637 652 He later trains with Sasuke and Tsukihime to master his altered bloodline, then becomes central to efforts against Reapers, Ōtsutsuki remnants, and the planet-wide transformation crisis. 643 649 695

Abilities & Skills

Karma Seal

Boruto’s Karma grants extreme physical enhancement and access to Ōtsutsuki-derived power, but it carries the threat of possession.

• Enhances his speed and strength enough to challenge Jigen, though not defeat him alone. 621
• Lets him move during Shinshiki’s time stop because of Momoshiki’s power within him. 629
• Can force Boruto into uncontrolled rampages that endanger allies. 591
• Risks allowing an Ōtsutsuki soul to overwrite Boruto’s consciousness and turn him into a vessel. 663

Ōtsutsuki Transformation

Boruto can transform into a horned Ōtsutsuki-like state powered by Karma, Momoshiki, and later Isshiki’s fused power.

• Initially grants overwhelming strength, speed, and Truth-Seeking Orb techniques. 630
• Requires intense concentration; early attempts collapse after roughly ten seconds. 643
• His Transcendent Body can evolve under extreme pressure, breaking barriers designed to suppress him. 646
• Prolonged use places his identity at risk through Momoshiki’s and Isshiki’s lingering consciousness. 630 667

Life Energy Manipulation

Tsukihime teaches Boruto the Ōtsutsuki Main Family’s use of Life Energy, a power distinct from ordinary chakra. 649

• Absorbs and releases Life Energy after rapid initial progress. 649
• Uses the training to pursue greater control over his transformed body. 649
• Creates emotional distance from Kiyomi and Kota as the power becomes increasingly central to his life. 649

Purification Technique

After his fusion and contact with Hashirama’s consciousness, Boruto develops the ability to purge dormant Ōtsutsuki Energy.

• Purifies all 43 victims of an Ōtsutsuki Energy outbreak over fifteen hours with Hashirama’s assistance. 687
• Identifies sensitive chakra perception as a basis for training future Purifiers. 687
• Begins teaching Sarada so purification can become a broader defense rather than a burden he bears alone. 687 688

Planetary Perception and Purifier Network

Boruto’s full Purifier transformation links him to planetary consciousness and a network of transformed individuals.

• Senses a planetary-level consciousness after awakening in his new form. 694
• Communicates with the planet and asks for time to help humanity understand its needs. 695
• Displays a global map of the transformation process to the Five Great Nations. 696
• Sends a voluntary, multi-layered invitation through every Purifier node, allowing individuals to choose how much truth they wish to receive. 710
• Struggles with the possibility that he may become an interface of the planet rather than remain wholly Boruto. 695

Jōgan and Star Core Power

The Jōgan is Boruto’s pale-blue dōjutsu, tied to the Three Realms Gate and his role as the Star Core of the New Network. 735 736

• Sees chakra pathways and senses dimensional disturbances. 736
• Initially activates unpredictably and cannot be fully controlled at critical moments. 736
• Enhances Boruto’s Rasengan with pale-blue Light Patterns capable of confronting plundering chakra. 739
• After merging with chakra origin, perceives connections and bonds across the omni-dimensions. 750

Ninjutsu and Combat

Despite later losing an arm, Boruto remains a capable shinobi in conventional combat.

• Shadow Clone Jutsu — Creates more than a dozen clones to overwhelm bandits and protect allies. 564
• Rasengan — Used alongside Kiyomi’s Chidori in coordinated combat. 620
• Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere — Swiftly defeats three hunters while fighting one-handed. 661
• Kunai and close-quarters combat — Uses direct, calculated attacks while protecting Tsukine from hunters. 661

Equipment

• Kunai — Carried during combat, including his confrontation with Momoshiki and Kinshiki. 636
• Old forehead protector — A keepsake given by Naruto; Boruto later places it before the Twelve-Fold Rhythm Stele. 757
• Kota’s handmade forehead protector — Given to Boruto before his departure; he promises to wear it. 652

Relationships

• Uzumaki Naruto — Father. Naruto repeatedly anchors Boruto’s sense of self, trains him after the Isshiki fusion, and demands that he return alive from dangerous missions. 630 667 652
• Uchiha Sasuke — Mentor and trusted combat partner. Sasuke accompanies Boruto through time, trains his Ōtsutsuki transformation, and helps suppress Momoshiki’s influence. 222 630 643
• Kiyomi — Wife and the person Boruto most fears leaving behind. They formally marry before Boruto departs for a dangerous mission, and Boruto promises to return alive to her and Kota. 637 652
• Kota — Son. Kota worries over Boruto’s injuries, takes pride in his father’s victories, and gives him a handmade forehead protector. 642 652
• Uchiha Sarada — Teammate, confidante, and fellow trainee. Sarada monitors Boruto’s chakra changes after the Isshiki fusion and later learns Purification Technique under his guidance. 667 687 688
• Kawaki — Teammate and sibling-like rival. Their arguments are frequent, but Kawaki protects Kiyomi from Boruto’s Karma rampage and works beside Boruto on missions. 549 591
• Ōtsutsuki Tsukihime — Instructor in Ōtsutsuki Power and Life Energy. Her training pushes Boruto to confront both the potential and the cost of his bloodline. 649
• Shiki — A consciousness connected to Boruto’s power. Boruto regards Shiki as someone who should be allowed choice and taught humanity rather than used as a disposable medium. 668 674 683
