Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Characters

The son of Naruto and Hinata and the older brother of Himawari: clever, cocky and fond of shortcuts, and resentful that being Hokage keeps his father away from home, so he pulls pranks to get his attention. His right eye, the Jogan, lets him see disturbed chakra. After helping to defeat Momoshiki Otsutsuki he is left with the Karma mark on his palm, which ties him to Momoshiki. He trains under Sasuke and wants to become a ninja who supports the Hokage rather than one who sits in the Hokage's chair.

The daughter of Sasuke and Sakura, a serious, well-read girl who wants to become Hokage. Before graduating she sets out to meet the father she barely knows, awakens her Sharingan on the way and, for a while, wrongly believes Karin is her real mother. She is the steady one in Team 7: she learns the Chidori from Sasuke, leads the team as captain when they go to rescue Naruto, and is the only one of the three to become a chunin in the second Chunin Exams, after which she leads the team with Kawaki in it.

A calm, curious transfer student who joins Boruto's Academy class and becomes the third member of Team 7. He is an artificial human made by Orochimaru, whom he calls his parent, and he left Orochimaru to find his own identity after becoming interested in Boruto. In an anime-only arc he seems to defect to rebels in the Hidden Stone, but turns out to have been working against them from the inside. He looks after a cat called Mikazuki.

A guarded, tattooed boy whom Team 7 finds unconscious after a Kara airship goes down; Kara calls him the Vessel. Jigen took him in as a child and gave him the Karma mark. Naruto takes him into the Uzumaki home, where he slowly opens up, mends the vase he broke and comes to see Naruto as a father. He passes his test to become a genin, joins Team 7 under Sarada and, by the last arc, will do anything to protect Naruto.

The grandson of the Third Hokage and Naruto's protégé, now a jonin and the leader of Team 7. He teaches Boruto the Rasengan, takes his squad through missions from bandit hunts to the fight against Victor and Deepa, and is moved by how far his students have come when Sarada's promotion means he has to leave the team. He once stands in for Naruto in a Kagemasa film and ends up stopping a real hostage-taking while still in character.

The Seventh Hokage, father of Boruto and Himawari and, later, adoptive father to Kawaki. His duties keep him away from home, which Boruto resents until the fight with Momoshiki shows him how much his father carries for the village. He takes Kawaki in against Shikamaru's advice, and against Isshiki he uses Baryon Mode, a form that costs Kurama, the Nine-Tails sealed inside him, its life. Without Kurama he is weaker, but he still stands between his family and Kara.

Sarada's father and Naruto's oldest rival, who spends years away from the village using his Rinnegan to search other dimensions for traces of the Otsutsuki. He agrees to teach Boruto once Boruto learns the Rasengan, fights Momoshiki, Jigen and Isshiki alongside Naruto, and loses his Rinnegan when Momoshiki takes over Boruto's body. The five "Sasuke's Story" episodes go back to an earlier mission he shared with Sakura.

The son of Shikamaru and Temari and Boruto's best friend since before the Academy. He finds most things a drag, but he is a sharp strategist who often gets Boruto out of trouble. He is the first of the class to be promoted to chunin, befriends Ryogi of the Byakuya Gang over games of shogi, and is pressed by his clan's chief elder to give up missions and train as a politician.

Boruto's cheerful younger sister, who has her mother's Byakugan and uses it without meaning to when she is angry; on the day Naruto became Hokage, she accidentally knocked him out. She treats Kawaki as part of the family. In the anime's last Academy arc she enrols at the Ninja Academy, helps Kawaki protect a visiting princess, and comes away thinking she might want to become a ninja.

The shy, dutiful class representative of Boruto's Academy class, an orphan whose father, a former member of the disbanded Foundation, left her a curse mark that lets her summon the beast Nue. Raised to take revenge on the Hidden Leaf, she is behind the "ghost incidents" until Boruto talks her round. She later leaves her genin team for the Scientific Ninja Tools Team and works as Amado's assistant.

A member of the Otsutsuki clan's main family who, with his subordinate Kinshiki, attacks the Chunin Exams to take the Nine-Tails' chakra from Naruto and revive a dying Divine Tree. Boruto finishes him with a giant Rasengan powered by Naruto's chakra, but as he dies he brands Boruto with the Karma, and from then on he surfaces in Boruto's body at the worst possible moments.

The leader of Kara, a calm, polite man who took Kawaki in as a child and gave him his Karma. He is really the vessel of Isshiki Otsutsuki, a clan member betrayed by Kaguya long ago, who needs a new body because Jigen's is failing. He seals Naruto away and pushes Naruto and Sasuke to their limits before Naruto's Baryon Mode and a trick of Kawaki's finally bring him down.
