Background / History

Boruto travels from the future alongside Future Sasuke using the Space-Time Ninja Tool, Kama. A transfer error places them in an alternate version of the era ruled by the Fifth Hokage rather than Naruto's childhood; their immediate goal is to stop Urashiki Otsutsuki from harvesting young Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra. 134 136

After Naruto deduces their parallel-world origin from Boruto's Chakra resemblance, Boruto and Sasuke explain their mission. Naruto takes responsibility for Boruto's safety while Sasuke pursues personal matters in the altered timeline. 138 139

During his stay, Boruto trains under Naruto, who pushes him to abandon reckless habits, think tactically, and develop a more grounded approach to combat. Boruto earns sword instruction by managing to touch Naruto during a sparring exercise. 141 145 160

After returning to his own era, Boruto seeks Naruto's help when Kara and Isshiki Otsutsuki threaten Konoha. He becomes involved in the rescue of the Seventh Hokage, clashes with Boro and Code, and repeatedly confronts the consequences of his Karma. 204 206 227

Appearance

Boruto is a yellow-haired boy who later adopts samurai-style clothing for sword training. 134 161

• Carries a samurai sword after beginning kenjutsu training under Naruto. 160 161
• Uses the pink-and-white Space-Time Ninja Tool, Kama, during his time-displacement journey. 134 205

Personality

Boruto is curious and outspoken, initially more interested in seeing his parents when they were young than in the danger of time travel. He is eager to prove himself and repeatedly seeks recognition as Konoha's “future star.” 134 161

He begins as impulsive and prone to acting before considering the consequences. Naruto repeatedly challenges this habit, teaching him to assess whether he can actually help in a dangerous situation and to approach combat with planning rather than instinct. 141 147

Despite his immaturity, Boruto is humble when praised publicly and uncomfortable being presented as Konoha's savior. He is also deeply protective of Kawaki and willing to sacrifice his own life to remove the danger posed by his Karma. 218 228
