Boruto and Naruto: Similarities and differences

The Boruto manga series introduces a new generation of ninjas that will eventually become more powerful than their parents.

At the beginning of this manga chapter, it’s clear that father and son struggle to get along.

As the story progresses, however, they start noticing similarities between them, especially in their fighting style. This is one of the main factors that bring them closer. Here are some of their main similarities and differences:

• Boruto’s fighting style is similar to his father’s. One great example is the frequent use of the shadow clone technique. As time passes, it’s clear this technique has become the Uzumaki bloodline signature move.
• Another similarity between father and son is their looks. They both have bright yellow hair and distinctive cheek lines. In the anime version of the series, Boruto looks exactly like Naruto when he was young.
• Every member of the Uzakami bloodline is born with chakra reserves. However, in the story, Naruto’s chakra is way more impressive than his son’s.
• The base strength Boruto has is thanks to Naruto’s genes. The Uzumaki blood gives Boruto an extra power boost.
• Another powerful trait Naruto has passed to his son are the agility and adaptability he uses to fight hand-to-hand.
• Both Naruto and Boruto learned how to perform the Rasengan before they should have. While Naruto learned it to combat Sasuke’s Chidori, Boturo did it to prove he was as powerful as his father.
• Boruto is not as focused on girls as his father was when he was a teenager. However, Boruto enjoys using the inappropriate jutsu created by his father from time to time.
• Naruto had a crush on Sakura when he was younger, but it was not reciprocated. Boturo, on the other hand, has better luck with women. Both Sumire and Sarada admitted to having a crush on him.
• One day Boruto learns a prophecy from Toneri Otsutsuki in a dream. The next morning, he wakes up with a Jodan in his right eye that not even Naturo can explain.
