Boruto: How Old Is Naruto In Boruto? (& 9 Other Characters Who ...

While Boruto is far from a perfect series, one thing that makes fans of the original series stick around is getting to see some of their favorite characters and how they’ve developed in the time since Naruto ended.

One minor question that sticks around in fans’ heads though is exactly how old some of these characters are. Some characters only look slightly older, while others look like they’ve gained quite a few years on them, resulting in either some major or minor physical changes. It’s probably a side effect of having so many troublesome kids running around as the new generation begins to blossom.

10 Shino (32)

Interestingly, Shino is exactly the same age as Naruto. At 17 during the Great Ninja War, he’s currently 32 years of age. In that time, he’s grown from one of the more odd characters in the series as a member of Team 8 to becoming a homeroom teacher for the Ninja Academy. There, he often finds himself dealing with the antics of all the would-be ninja that are in training there. Essentially, he’s become the new Iruka for this new generation of kids, watching out for them and helping them learn what they need to know going forward.

9 Konohamaru (27)

Konohamaru was basically little Naruto when he was first introduced into the series. He was a brat who hung out with Naruto and looked up to him so much that he eventually learned how to do his own version of the Rasengan and the Sexy Jutsu. By the time Boruto begins, Konohamaru is actually 27 years old and he’s in charge of Team 7. Basically, he’s become a crossover of Naruto and Kakashi, serving as a capable jonin with dreams of becoming the next Hokage.

8 Shikamaru Nara (Early 30s)

By the time Boruto starts, Shikamaru joins Naruto in his early 30s. His incredible smarts make him a part of Naruto’s main team, often helping during situations where Naruto has to be elsewhere either because of his family or because of the abilities he possesses.

Aside from that, Shikamaru spends most of his time trying not to tick off his wife Temari, while also teaching his son the best way to utilize his intelligence through games of shogi.

7 Mirai Sarutobi (17)

The granddaughter of the Third Hokage, Mirai was a baby in the original Naruto series. She became close to Shikamaru, who agreed to look after her because of how close he’d become to Asuma. In Boruto, she’s 17 years old and has become one of the most competent chunin in the anime. She’s actually too competent, as she spends too much time worrying about doing her job, and spends time frustrated at never being challenged enough considering her abilities.

6 Hiashi Hyuga (61)

The head of the Hyuga Clan, Hiashi is 61 years old when Boruto begins. Once a much harsher man, he originally believed that the Hyuga Clan was the greatest clan in all of Konoha. He looked down on his own daughter as she seemed to lack the same skill her cousin Neji had. Years later, he’s become a doting grandfather that loves to look after Boruto and Himawari. He’s even grown closer with Naruto, as Naruto feels comfortable enough to actually refer to him as “dad”.

5 Tsunade (70)

The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade was instrumental during a time period when Konoha needed a leader. She was 55 during the second half of Naruto, which would make her actually 70 years old in Boruto.

Fans don’t get to see her much these days, as she’s not even the predecessor to the current Hokage. Naturally, thanks to all the stored up chakra she has, she still looks basically the same as she did in Naruto.

4 Iruka Umino (42)

Iruka was perhaps one of the best-known instructors at the Ninja Academy in Konoha. He’s probably the only reason Naruto didn’t turn out to be a jerk, as he was pretty much the only person who cared about Naruto in the entire village for much of his childhood. He was 27 during Part II of Naruto, which means by the time Boruto begins he’s 42 years old. Currently, Iruka serves as the headmaster of the Ninja Academy.

3 Anko Mitarashi (Early 40s)

A high-level jonin during the original Naruto series, Anko spent much of that series wanting to bring Orochimaru to justice. Fifteen years removed from the original series, Anko is now in her early 40s. She seems to be a much happier woman now, becoming an instructor at the Ninja Academy in Konoha. She’s also capable of handling other priorities as well though, as she's shown working with Mei Terumi, the former Mizukage, over the expansion the Land of Water was attempting.

2 Mei Terumi (40s)

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei has all but stepped down in her 40s by the time Boruto begins, making way for Chojuro, the Sixth Mizukage. After spending much of her time rehabbing the image of Kirigakure, Mei is very much invested in maintaining a healthy connection to the other cities. She winds up working with Shino, Anko, and Team 7 after the Seven Swordsman of the Mist make a comeback. Because of this, she’s also able to learn that some of her own people had been working to betray their land, working with the Land of Waves.

1 Naruto (32)

In Boruto, it's known that it's been 15 years since the Ninja War, which had Naruto at about 17 years old. Since then, Naruto managed to get married, become the Hokage, and have not one but two different children. Because of that, Naruto is currently around 32 years old. Hilariously, this means he’s actually quite the young father, even if they often play him as the beleaguered old man.
