Top 10 Best Boruto Characters

Naruto might've wrapped up his journey, but you? You're still knee-deep in Hidden Leaf drama, new jutsu flexes, and next-gen shinobi with more issues than a manga box set. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has handed the spotlight to a whole new crew. Like it or not, they're carrying the weight of a legacy built on nine-tailed beasts, war arcs, and a whole lot of emotional damage. So the question is, who's really living up to that legacy, and who's just riding on a famous last name?

Boruto's world is bigger and messier than Naruto's ever was. There's more tech, more politics, and more wait, whose kid is that kind of drama. That means more chances for characters to surprise you or disappoint you in spectacular fashion. You're not just looking at who can throw hands. Personality, growth, weird backstories, and yes, drip all factor in.

The Top Ten

Sarada Uchiha

Sarada Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga by Masashi Kishimoto. She is the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Sarada is a central character in the sequel series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, where she is a member of Team 7.

Sarada Uchiha is a really good character, and her development is done so well. I love how she is a mixture between Sasuke and Sakura. She can act aloof if she wants to, but most of the time, she's friendly and kind. She is also her own person. Her aspiration to be like Naruto is so admirable and sweet. Not only that, she awakened her Sharingan out of happiness. I believe she'll be the first to break the curse of hatred of the Uchiha Clan.
She always looks out for her friends (especially Boruto) and tries her best to do what a good Hokage would. She's a wonderful character, and I feel like she'll become one of the best ninjas. I hope that she becomes Hokage because that would symbolize so much for the Uchiha clan. I also admire her strength. Her father was absent most of her life, but she barely threw tantrums about it. The only time she really did was when Sasuke came back, and she met him. That was understandable.
Other than that, she's an understanding daughter who helps her mother in any way possible. Sarada has a sort of independence that the other characters do not, and I love her so much for it.
Boruto Uzumaki

Boruto Uzumaki is a fictional character created by manga author Masashi Kishimoto. He first appears in the final chapter of the Naruto manga as the son of Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga. Boruto is the central protagonist of the sequel series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, which continues the story... read more

I didn't expect to like him all that much after the Naruto epilogue. But the more I learn about his personality, the more I like him. He has a good heart, is kind to his friends and sister, he's modest, smart, and a good leader. I'd even say he is more likable than his father at his age, though at the same time he lacks what made me empathize so much with Naruto back then: the narrative of the underdog who was bullied and ignored but managed to rise above everyone else with hard work and determination.
Overall, I'd say both characters are likable in their own way.

Talk as much as you like, but he's the best character in the series. Not even that extremely uninteresting Uchiha is better than him. He has good development. He's not a dull genius who knows everything.
He got his powers in an interesting way, and being the son of who he is was already expected. People have to understand that he is not his father.
I honestly have great expectations for Boruto, because his story is just beginning. More things are coming around.
Shikadai Nara

Shikadai is pretty much a copy of his dad, but I think he's less lazy and more proactive, which is a good thing. It's like he's an improved version of Shikamaru, at least when Shikamaru was young. Adult Shikamaru is the best!

Shikadai's got to be the best character in Boruto. Dude is smart. He can strategize in any situation, pretty much like his father. But he's more intelligent and less lazy than his father. Shikamaru literally gave up his definite win against Temari of the Sand in the tournament (which was quite hilarious), but Shikadai clearly beat Boruto in the tournament (though Boruto won because of the scientific ninja tool).
But anyways, Shikadai and Shikamaru are both the best in their respective series.
Mitsuki

I think he's by far the most interesting character. Immediately when he made his first appearance, I knew he was going to be my favorite. He's cool, calm, mysterious, and very good-looking. I can't wait to see what else they do with the character.
Believe it or not, he's currently the only Boruto character I have a plush of.

Mitsuki is an amazing character. His background story of how he became the only clone to choose his own path was cool and made me love him even more. I also respect the fact that he doesn't release his full power because he wants to stay with Boruto and company.
And I can't forget his cool, carefree demeanor. He's the coolest!
Himawari Uzumaki

She is a precious child. She has everything to become an incredible ninja, although I think she will not take that path. Naruto and Hinata's daughter is as amazing as her parents!

I see what you're saying. To be honest, cuteness is all she has, but I also see her strength, which is pretty good for her age. However, it doesn't matter much for character development because of her lack of screen time. When she gets older and becomes a ninja, I would love to see her and Boruto possibly going on a mission together.
Inojin Yamanaka

Inojin is the BEST! He should be way higher on the list. He is my cinnamon roll, and no one can steal him! I love how he uses both of his parents' techniques. Imagine how powerful Inojin and Himawari's kid is going to be. I'm glad he wasn't paired up with Sumire. And God damn, he is sexy.

He's such a cool-looking character with a great personality. He's pretty weak, but he's one of the only characters that has developed ninjutsu from both parents. When he learns to use them together, I think he's going to be amazing.
Chocho Akimichi

Some people find her annoying and unbearable, but I find that she's a great character. Maybe not an amazing one due to her getting character development later on, but I think she can be an amazing character if people just give her a chance.

People really need to give Chocho a chance. The negativity surrounding her is just horrid. Everyone needs development in the series. I mean, look at Denki and Iwabee. There's still so much we haven't seen from anyone or Chocho.

I love, love, love her!
She eats.
She's fat.
She's confident.
She's funny.
She's honest and straightforward.
She knows that haters are always gonna hate.
She's positive!
She's basically everything her haters can't be. My ultimate favorite character of Boruto.
Shin Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime series Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is a member of the Uchiha clan and one of the main characters in the series. Sasuke is portrayed as Naruto Uzumaki's rival and follows a complex path throughout the storyline.

He is so likable now. And now he also has a humorous and goofy side, so he seems more complete as a character and not just the douche he used to be. Definitely the best character now.

He's far more likable now than he was in part 1 and Shippuden. He can be cold as ice at times but can also be soft for his close ones.

Sasuke turned into Snape here. At least he finally started to care about the people around him.

He first appeared in 1999 in Weekly Shōnen Jump and has since become one of the most iconic characters in anime and manga. Naruto's journey from a mischievous outcast to... read more

Who can hate this guy? He is a legend in anime, and it would be hard to hate him. He has made a great impact on our childhood.

Konohamaru Sarutobi

Konohamaru is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is the grandson of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and aspires to become Hokage himself. Throughout the series, Konohamaru evolves from a comedic side character into a capable ninja and... read more
Sumire Kakei

Love this character. When I watch Boruto, I feel Sumire is like Hinata. She is smart, shy, and always doing her best in life. But this character is a combination of Naruto characters, Hinata and Sakura. Love this character.
I hope Sumire and Boruto will be together like Naruto and Hinata.

I don't think she is anything like Hinata. Besides their main color being purple and having a rather shy personality (Sumire's was faked), they're nothing alike. Sumire doesn't revolve her life around a boy like Hinata does.
Sakura Uchiha

Sakura Haruno is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series. She was created by Japanese manga artist Masashi Kishimoto. Sakura is known for her medical ninjutsu, her strength, and her development as a ninja and teammate in the series.

She developed a lot throughout the series. In Boruto, not only is she strong, but also mature and wise.

Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi Hatake is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He serves as the leader and mentor of Team 7, which includes Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. Kakashi is known for his mastery of the Sharingan eye and his calm, analytical approach... read more

I like him because he's cool, and he did great teaching Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. When Kakashi became the Sixth Hokage, I started to get used to him as my favorite character. Kakashi is sometimes funny. I can't wait to finish watching Naruto and watch Boruto because I think it will be pretty cool, but we are just going to have to find out.
I never knew I would like a different character because most fan girls like Sasuke, and I have no idea why.
Shinki
Hinata Uzumaki

Hinata Hyuga is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. She is a member of the Hyuga clan and known for her gentle personality and Byakugan ability. Over the series, she grows from a shy ninja into a confident fighter and later marries Naruto Uzumaki... read more

She is an awesome mom and wife. What time she has on screen is very entertaining.
Shino Aburame

Shino Aburame is one of the main supporting characters in the Naruto anime and manga series, as well as in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. He is a member of the Aburame clan, known for their use of insects in combat. Shino is recognized for his calm demeanor and tactical intelligence.
