Boruto Uzumaki (うずまきボルト, Uzumaki Boruto) is a missing-nin from Konohagakure's Uzumaki clan and a direct descendant of the Hyūga clan through his mother. While initially resentful of his father and his absence since becoming Hokage, Boruto eventually comes to respect his father and duties. Regardless, he vows to instead become a shinobi like his mentor, Sasuke Uchiha. He was later forced to defect from the village after he was framed for killing his parents by his adoptive brother, Kawaki.
