Naruto's transformation in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

Masashi Kishimoto

Everyone was thrilled to see Naruto achieve his goal of becoming Hokage, but a few things have changed about the shinobi.

Naruto became Hokage

Change isn't always bad and Naruto is the type of guy who will always remain true to his character.

True to himself

This change is for the best, considering he's in charge of protecting everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village.

5) Major maturity level increase

Masashi Kishimoto

The seventh Hokage often looks more rundown in the new series than he ever did before because he also has to go through a lot of office paper work.

4) Gets worn down and tired more easily

Masashi Kishimoto

His duties to the Hidden Leaf Village seem to keep him away from his family more often than not, even causing him to miss important events in his children's lives.

3) Naruto became a father (but per not the best)

Masashi Kishimoto

Naruto and Boruto bickering with one another has been a common occurrence since the shinobi became Hokage.

2) Hokage Naruto is a tad hypocritical to his son

Masashi Kishimoto

He takes his duties to the Hidden Leaf Village so seriously that he would sacrifice himself for any member of its population in a heartbeat.

1) More selfless than ever

Masashi Kishimoto

Though it's hard to imagine an even more self-sacrificing Naruto, that's precisely what the ninja has become because of his new leadership role.

Self Sacrificing

Naruto's transformation was something that had to happen, because the man is in charge of an entire community's well-being.
