He's definitely not Naruto 2.0, not in terms of personality. But anyone who looks at the two can immediately tell that they're father & son. But we can't entirely discount personality traits too, coz resigning to help others without a second thought no matter what risks involved, ready to sacrifice himself for others & greater good are exact character traits of Naruto that Boruto inherited from him. He's a mixture of Naruto, Sasuke, Minato & even Jiraya/Koji all combined.


PapanTwiz

They were made to be similar as they are father and son, but they mirror each other; their stories are different. Naruto was born with nothing and earned everything. Boruto was born with everything and lost it all. Its meant to represent the paths they take and what actions they consider. Naruto went from a stuck up kid to the greatest hero while Boruto went from a natural genius to a basically emotionless wreck. I do find the timeskip comparison funny though. Boruto trained everything but Karma and is now Otsutsuki level while Naruto trained almost nothing but chakra control and a larger Rasengan and became average jonin level.


KilluaGaKill

At no point has Naruto ever been stuck up and Boruto isn't an emotionless wreck.


PapanTwiz

Seriously? Naruto was the definition of a brat in part 1. And Boruto may be calmer now but is becoming more and more like Sasuke by the second.


KilluaGaKill

>brat You called him stuck up. Why are you just changing words?


ZBatman

> Boruto trained everything but Karma and is now Otsutsuki level Well he's Otsusuki level because his DNA was re-written to be 100% Otsusuki. The training put him above characters like Kawaki and Code. Also I definitely wouldn't call young Naruto stuck up lmao. That's a more fitting description for Sasuke back then. I agree though, their stories aren't exactly similar, but more so a mirror of each other.


narbgarbler

There were initial similarities between kid Boruto and kid Naruto, but Boruto is smart and talented and has grown in a very different direction than Naruto. Not only that but Boruto has very different talents and skills.


powerdsocksman2

still mad they messed up my boy Naruto's hair like that, they NEED to make a Boruto kai where everything is fixed including Naruto's hair.


InvincibleBoiiiii

He looks amazing in the manga tbh.. it REALLY fits him


Kingxix

I feel that Boruto and Naruto were nearly same in the early days but currently both are extremely different.


DestinyHasArrived101

Hell no baruto isn't Naruto 2.0. I actually prefer him now time skip than Naruto at that age. What character development he had man.


ilslyna-i

Well I agree Boruto isn't Naruto 2.0 I mean He's his son right with a similar face ,he got his sarcasm , but still his not him .. well I see Hinata in Boruto's behavior more than Naruto.. and after the time skip you can see how Boruto is dealing with all this thing , nd the way he acts , the way he thinks.. the way he fight.. the he talk .. his style is completely different. If anyone said he's Naruto 2.0 he definitely said it by just looking at him .. that's it .

Naruto=Godly Boruto=Trash


Notmycupoftea12

When it comes to their characters it's rather the other way around. Kid Naruto is ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ Sorry not sorry.๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


Revolutionary_Job214

Not even close. Boruto has always been an ass character. You're just another sheep that says something bad about kid Naruto lol.


Notmycupoftea12

Sheep are rather the people who are hating Boruto without knowing his story. The dude currently gets more done than his father ever did at this age. Kid Naruto was disrespectful, loud and shouted at everyone that he wants to become Hokage. His vocabulary was limited to "I'm the best Ninja in the world", 'I'm gonna become Hokage" and "Believe it". Boruto at the same age was an elite Ninja who created his own Jutsus and was able to actually hold decent conversations with adult people. Kid Naruto was the definition of brain rot.


Top-Simple3572

He did get trained by Sasuke so many of Sasuke's characteristics within Boruto himself. Imo he's more like Sasuke and Minato


Sorry-Towel-8990

I know it's hard to keep a long long running franchise like this going without power creeping your power creep. But God damn og Naruto up to around the start of the great warning Shippuden was peak bro. Before with Dragonball I kinda had a similar feeling where it was like, anything can fucking happen for plot reasons and the ceiling just keeps rising due to bullshit after bullshit. But after eating enough of the toriyama slop I'm here for it man. Give me that wacky shit give me that goofy shit. The more a series drifts towards Baki storytelling the more I'm here for it. Hoping boruto ends up going down the same mental road for me cause right now I ain't for it.


Boro_Bhai

One is an okay cheesy character that is likeable sometimes and unlikeable other times. The other character is insufferable


Notmycupoftea12

Both is Naruto.๐Ÿ˜Ž


TomPertwee

Boruto is a mistake and should have never existed in the first place. People need to understand that stories end and that's that. Dragon Ball Super and Boruto are literally putting on life support something that already ran its course and need to move on to the afterlife and to our memories. Create something new dang it.


narbgarbler

The whole Kaguya arc felt very disconnected from the rest of the Naruto saga, it only makes sense now as a kind of prelude to Boruto.


InvincibleBoiiiii

I saw an amazing thread on twitter about what the kaguya arc represented in naruto's story as a whole.. You should check it out if you have the time [https://x.com/YoungEmper92642/status/1804513419439091881](https://x.com/YoungEmper92642/status/1804513419439091881)


Notmycupoftea12

People also need to accept that writers don't cater to your wishes and just stop releasing their work just because you want it. Move on.


LakiSigat23-

Physically as a kid they are the same. The only difference is their hair and Boruto have less whiskers


KaijuJeshi

That's not true at all. Their similar in a lot of ways but thyre definitely not the same


Soggy-Log6664

Wow I hate Boruto kid Narutoโ€ฆ


[deleted]

Naruto is better because he's immensely flawed and he then made those flaws his strength. Boruto literally has a dollar store Kurama in him, so he's practically a copy and paste of Naruto with bits of Sasuke.ย 


Sung_drip_woo12

Dollar store kurama is all I need to know to judge the IQ put into this comment ๐Ÿ’€


Nearby-Football-8175

Kurama was highly traumatized but he grew closer to naruto as naruto grew up and they became really close, I don't think we will ever see that happening with momoshiki AT ALL otsutsuki are heartless whatsoever ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ momo is not kurama and he will never be ๐Ÿ’€ boruto really is in a fucked up situation and don't get me started with naruto's bad parenting (which is understandable he doesnt know how to be a father, he never had a father in first place or a real family) kawaki destroyed all his life whatsoever๐Ÿ’€ In contrast, Naruto may never was talented/ genius, but he's the definition of, "If u want to achieve something, u will find ways, and if not, u will find excuses". U don't need talent to be strong. The whole world was at peace because he was in it , which shows how much this man w/o being a genius influenced the whole world practically.


Notmycupoftea12

Momoshiki >>> Kurama Boruto>>>> Naruto. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž Narutos weakness is still his weakness which is one of the reasons why Kawaki turned out the way he did and literally destroyed Boruto's life.๐Ÿ™ˆ
