Although visibly older, Naruto still looked recognizable in “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.” Even while acting as Konoha’s Seventh Hokage, the ninja still sported his blonde hair, blue eyes, and orange outfit. Yet when it comes to his personality, it’s clear that the responsibilities of leading a village and having a family have mellowed the hero out significantly. In “Boruto,” Naruto is a wiser and more mature character than in his younger glory days. And while speaking with Crunchyroll, the character’s voice actor, Maile Flanagan, revealed her efforts in portraying the hero as an adult.
“Well, I try and be a little more stern,” Flanagan said to Crunchyroll. “A little more emotionally stern, I guess. A little more emotionally grounded. The first several episodes of ‘Boruto,’ not gonna lie, there was a lot of me lecturing. I was like, ‘Is this how it is?’ Then that stopped, and it got to be very adventuresome, fun, and interesting. I got to do some fighting again, which was fantastic. And some really emotional stuff.”
Flanagan’s delivery for the first part of the series indeed included its share of Naruto lecturing. Still, it was necessary as it showed off the complex relationship between Naruto and his son. Whether it was Boruto defacing Hokage Rock in the first episode or being caught cheating during the Chunin Exams later in the series, the young ninja acted out to get his father’s attention, as Naruto was often neglectful toward his family. However, eventually, the two reach an understanding with each other.
