Boruto

Boruto is quite similar to his father, drawing on his side of being loud, energetic, and stubborn; he even has a verbal tic, "dattebasa" (だってばさ), similar to that of his relatives such as Naruto's "dattebayo" and Kushina's "dattebane". The Uzumaki also has a very high opinion of himself and his abilities, as he brags freely about it, although unlike Naruto when he was the same age as Boruto, his pride is usually justified. His own arrogance resulted in him not valuing his teammates or teamwork in general early on, to the point where he believed he could do anything and everything on his own, however, this drastically changed due to several events with him that ended up happening over time. But unlike his father, he has shown to be quite intelligent,[1] and at times, he tends to be highly shy about his feelings, to the point where he pretends not to be worried, however, later on, he shows her sweetest side when no one is around.

Despite their similarities, the two differ in a few things: while Naruto was an orphan, Boruto's family is always there for him; while Naruto was condemned and exiled by children his age, Boruto has many friends; While Naruto had to work hard to own his skills and recognition, Boruto's talents come naturally to him, and he receives praise without even trying. For all of this, he lacks an appreciation for hard-earned things, causing him to cheat at video games instead of playing them properly, and wield the Gauntlet of Shinobi instead of mastering ninjutsu on his own. . However, he does care for his mother and sister, becoming irritated when someone hurts them physically or emotionally.

Boruto has had a hostile relationship with his father since Naruto became Hokage. He loves his father and is overjoyed whenever he spends time with him, but his responsibilities as Hokage make these moments rare. Which makes him feel neglected and has come to resent the role of Hokage for making his father become absent. Boruto's methods of dealing with this are numerous: he will do anything to gain Naruto's attention, often motivated solely by the prospect that his father will notice him; he despises the title of Hokage, believing that it is only suitable for those without loved ones; he struggles to become strong enough to surpass his father, therefore devaluing Naruto's legacy. What he doesn't do is express how he feels to Naruto, feigning disinterest whenever he tries to connect with his son. Eventually, when Boruto is finally exposed to the complications of his father's life and witnesses how hard work can make a respectable shinobi, he forgives his father's busy schedule and stops trying to take the easy options in life with time, but still acting with some reluctance.
