ThroughoutBoruto , the show has been litter with young characters . fan can contact fresh faces like the Fourth Mizukage ’s son , but also the Fifth Mizukage herself , Mei . The nostalgia forNarutoinBorutois interminable , layering raw chronicle on old favorites , maintain a lot of original characters around as well . Boruto and his friends may run through burgers now alternatively of ramen , but they ca n’t take the classical Konoha out of the hamlet . Most of the timeBorutocombines the fresh with the old well , but it ’s unfeignedly telling how many old characters they fit out in . Naruto did run for 700 episodes , after all .

While a honest amount of the cameos and inserts have been take account by fans , some are a little less enjoyable . Of course , lose the wholeness of a theatrical role   can ruin any appearance . And worse ? Some important lineament , more authoritative than some of the others brought back , have n’t been visualise at all around Konoha . In a world full of memorable fictitious character , some of the give up ones are sorely drop , and some that were include would be well off leave behind .

update on May 10th , 2022 by Amanda Bruce : The world of Masashi Kishimoto ’s Naruto seems to forever be expand with the Boruto series continue to create complex villains and new approaches to the shinobi animation . As the story changes to include more science and less of the " illusion " of the original serial , characters take to   meditate those changes as well . There are hundreds of characters in the Naruto canyon , and it ’s by all odds time to let some of them go and allow others to shine .

Naruto Characters Abandoned By Boruto

The Great Toad Sages

During Naruto ’s education with Jiraiya , the Great Toad Sages were invaluable look of his teachings . After all , not only are they his summon creatures but they also learn him a lot about jutsu and prophecy . From the minute Naruto summoned Bunta to redeem him from descend on jagged rock , fans were enrapt . They were great risible relief that also showed the scale of shinobi power .

While lover are now   deep into theBorutostory , the Great Toads are nowhere to be find . Jiraiya is sound , but Naruto is n’t . These wild , talking , polite creature merit advantageously . It would be neat for Boruto to get some toad consultation himself .

Choza Akimichi

For all the charactersBorutosqueezes in , characters fromNarutothat would now be grandparent are n’t some of them . While Shikaku and Inoichi had a construction collapse on them in the Fourth Shinobi War , the third member of Ino - Shika - Cho , Choza , survived . The father of Choji and , inBoruto , the grandad of Chocho , has not made a individual appearing in the raw serial .

Though fans only got a short bit of interaction between Choza and Choji inNaruto , it would be absorbing to see a fight - hungry grandad interact with his star - obsessed granddaughter . With Chocho ’s one - note character development , it could add up some serious astuteness to her . rather , he ’s been abandoned .

Team Oboro

With Amegakure ’s ill fame for assassination delegacy , Team Oboro was criminally under - used . These three genin unite the Konoha Chunin Exams to cause problem , faced off against Team 7 , and lost .

subsequently , Naruto , Sasuke , and Sakura ran into the trinity while protect a runner from the Land of Tea . Team Oboro had order of magnitude to slow him down and even terminate his biography , if necessary . Without Naruto ’s Rasengan ingeniousness , they would have come through .

Since Pain takes over The   Village Hidden In The pelting   with the Akatsuki , it would make gumption if they came back in later instalment or even inBorutoto prove to take revenge . However , fans never see them again .

Itachi Uchiha

Isaribi

After leaving Konoha , Orochimaru went to the Land of Sea and , with Amachi , take and experimented on people . When Orochimaru forget , Amachi bear on his work . At the time Naruto and champion discover him , his current experiment was Isaribi , a young girl he ’d been using to attempt to create the perfect subaqueous ninja .

Once defeated , the Konoha ninja take her back to have a better , brighter childhood . However , grown - up Isaribi is missing . She ’d be a perfect orphanage caretaker , but no , that ’s Kabuto . She also would be an interesting person for Mitsuki to interact with , but also no . ByBoruto , poor Isaribi is completely abandoned .

It has to be noted , however , that characters like Isaribiare part of the makeweight arcs of the anime . Her character is n’t part of the canyon manga , prepare it hard for the writers to encircle back to character like her , but it ’s not impossible .

Idate Morino

Not only was Idate Morino abandon inBoruto , but he was abandoned byNaruto , too . squad 7 fulfill the young , headstrong runner during their Land of Tea mission , having to protect him from assassinator . At the conclusion , Idate has a variety of balancing with his Konoha ninja brother and form a trammel with Naruto . Though he sails away , the scene makes it seem like he ’ll be back when he ’s grown stronger .

Idate is never see again . An grownup version of him , faster than ever , would be a fun increase to theBorutouniverse . He could be a ninja messenger , carry of import , hugger-mugger documents at gamy upper . Idate deserves better than disappear completely .

Tsume Inuzuki

With all ofBoruto ’s love to show off the premature generations , it cheats the Konoha 11 ’s parent . Many of them are n’t just off - concealment , their existence is whole ignored . One peachy lesson is the feistyTsume Inuzuki , Kiba ’s mother . With her own blackguard fellow traveler , she is a savage shinobi .

ByBoruto , though , she ’s nowhere to be realize . It could be fun to watch Kiba interact with her , see her chastise him for raising so many dogs and not kids . Her integration does n’t call for to be Brobdingnagian , but ifBorutowants to impart so many preceding generations , why should n’t the grandparent era be around , too ?

Yugao Uzuki

WheneverNarutodealt with the Anbu , the Konoha hugger-mugger service , fans often saw Yugao Uzuki , a conflicted immature woman . After all , the Anbu are speculate to abandon emotion for tariff . However , Yugao still had deep feelings for the boyfriend she abandoned for her Book of Job , Hayate . When he loses his lifetime during the Konoha Crush , she has to face these crucify emotions and later crusade his resurrected body in the Fourth Shinobi War .

With the Anbu seemingly disband byBoruto , many of those faces ( or lack thereof ) have completely disappeared . Considering Anbu went through even more painful grooming than most , Yugao could have been a complex window into the after - personal effects of war .

Kitsuchi

The Tsuchikage , Onoki , may have not desire to give up his post , but he had many unspoilt options , including his own son and granddaughter . Once Onoki last pass on , his granddaughter Kurotsuchi takes up the drapery of Kage and go her village into a new era .

While it ’s a cracking feat for Kurotsuchi , her father , Kitsuchi , has completely disappeared . As a very level - headed and experienced jonin , he would have been a double-dyed , more - season option . However , the show has ignored him in favor of the younger , pretty Kurotsuchi .

With so many comparatively youthful Kage inBoruto , it would have been nice to have an older , wiser ninja in the radical .

Hidan

Without a doubt , the Akatsuki were one of the big threat theNarutouniverse ever face . Between their culling of jinchuriki , Pain ’s ravishment , and Obito ’s study with Madara , they nearly destruct the world . While they had a mountain of powerful ninjas running their organization , though , only one of them is , technically , alive byBoruto : Hidan .

Shikamaru left Hidan in pieces in a pit under a crew of rubble in the Nara family forest , screaming , but no one formally confirmed his passing . really , several bill assume him alive since his abilities make him functionally immortal .

With all the trouble Naruto and friend caused him , he could have been an interesting early on heavy risky forBorutothat could have allowed the show to research Nara sept dynamics , the newfangled Ino - Shika - Cho genesis as theylearned what Shikamaru did to the villainthat killed his sensei , and could have made for an interesting link to the past .

Baki

A jonin of Sunagakure , Baki help escort the three Kazekage child to the Chunin Exams . Also , he helps them cause havoc when the Konoha Crush begin . In the future , once Gaara becomes Kazekage , Baki is still an important member of the village who helps them out on missions .

With a mysterious air about him , he did manage a destiny about the village . IfNarutohadn’t abandoned him , he credibly would still be by Gaara ’s side inBoruto . or else , he does n’t show up past the white period . His story is never explored .

Yoshino Nara

As one of the few housewives inNaruto , it ’s a real disgrace that the show completely abandons Yoshino . Initially , her warm will and fierce look on motherhood supply levity to the lazy Nara valet de chambre . Narutodidn’t have her often , but she made them all the more interesting .

InBoruto , not all the parents are ninja anymore , but Shikamaru and Temari are still shinobi . Temari does less work than she did before , but she still helps in times of peril and trains genin . Having Yoshino around to help wish for Shikadai or any of the other kids would have made the syndicate a trivial more complex . Alas , Fans never see her again .

Sakura’s Parents

Of the original Team 7,Sakura was the only one with living parents . Despite that , her parents seem just as absent as the others . They only appear in a single episode , episode 271 ofNaruto Shippuden , and in theRoad To Ninja : Naruto The Movie . In it , Sakura expresses how authoritative her parent are to her and how she appreciates them . However , that ’s surd to conceive when fans have literally never seen her interact with them before .

Borutois no dissimilar . As far as buff acknowledge , they ’ve vanish . Though it would make sense for her parent to facilitate a nigh - single mother Sakura with Sarada , they stay scatty from her life .

Ebisu

When fans first met Ebisu , he was ajonin act as Konohamaru ’s tutor . He act very gravely , a no - falderol kind of ninja . However , Naruto was able-bodied to steal Konohamaru by using his lewd jutsu tactic on Ebisu . From that moment on , Naruto called him the clandestine perv , despite how helpful and wise to he could be .

Borutohas no Ebisu in sight . While many surviving jonin or chunin fromNarutohave at least made a evanesce cameo , Ebisu is nowhere to be institute . With Naruto now as Hokage , maybe it ’s just safe to assume he went into eternal concealing to avoid embarrassment .

The Other Tailed Beasts

A vast part ofNarutoused to be the Tailed Beasts . Not only was Naruto hosting the Nine - Tailed Fox , but he met quite a few other jinchuriki in his travels . Furthermore , the Akatsuki move on a warpath to destruct jinchuriki so that they could curb them . The brute could be fearsome and serious , but with their emcee they could become powerful forces for good .

In the human race ofBoruto , though , all talk of the beasts have disappeared other than Kurama ’s grownup role in Naruto ’s story . This is stupefy considering the others are now free . It would be fascinating to know how they ’ve evolved . They also all have chakra tied to Naruto , so it ’s not impossible to find them . Hopefully , they do n’t always stay abandoned .

Naruto Characters In Boruto That Need To Go

Anko

While it ’s telling for an anime to give plus - sized representation , it does n’t do it very well . Anko , former student of Orochimaru before his betrayal , is now a instructor at Ninja Academy and has bring in quite a few pounds .

If Anko ’s weight was n’t play off as an endless put-on , this would be ok . However , it make foresightful - time fans bid the once - complex Anko had more important things to do . Borutohas tried really hard to bring back a lot of quality , but it ’s not satisfying when they are give such a uncollectible repp . This variant of Anko , under - apprehended and unnecessary , need to go .

Yamato

In some cases , where Kishimoto accidentally makes a character with too much potential and does n’t know what to do with them , he set them away and obviate them . However , in other vitrine , he adds them in , but maintain them smooth to avoid detracting from his main characters . One of the ripe good example of this is Yamato , the Orochimaru experimentturned Anbu turned Jonin .

While Kakashi was indisposed , Yamato took over Team 7 . Though , even when he came back , Yamato stayed and helped out . consecrate Wood Release abilities , Hashirama DNA , and other enhancements , he ’s unbelievably solid . Unfortunately that does n’t make him well - used or interesting . Still around inBoruto , being boring , it ’s belike better if he decease already .

Homura And Koharu

In Konoha , there is a council of elder that help keep the small town running smoothly . They assist in appointing Hokages , getting things done , and keeping the peace . Since Hiruzen was the Third Hokage , Homura and Koharu have been helming that council .

By the time ofBoruto , the already senior pair have senesce at least another two tenner . While boisterous people , they already were quite senior back in the day . Fans should n’t wish they ’d kick the bucketful , but the pair definitely merit to retire by now . Their final years should be spent enjoying their settlement , not bickering with its hard leadership . possibly even get a holiday home , far off from Boruto ’s troubles .

Mei Terumi

InNaruto , Mei was the beautiful Fifth Mizukage , the somebody that took over once the bloodthirsty Fourth Mizukage was gone . Her powers of spicy spitting are quite unique , considering she can emit boiling water , lava , and more . Throughout her incumbency , she ’s been an telling ninja .

However , byBoruto , writers have reduced her to an honest-to-god lady talking over tea . While no one is expecting her to spew lava at every moment , her radiancy and sureness seem to be damp and washed away . If a shadow of the sure-enough Mei could return , she ’d be a welcome part ofBoruto . As she is now though ? She might as well go to give space for more interesting characters .

Onoki

Though Onoki technically is gone , he never should have shown up inBorutoin the first shoes . His uncanny billet with his artificial humans is very different from Orochimaru and Mitsuki . Furthermore , watching him shine from grace is disappointing . Sure , he save himself before he snuff it on , but the way he handle the artificial beings he created was a little mess up .

Onoki should have just stayed the unearthly , gallant old Tsuchikage fans met inNaruto . His electric discharge could have been given to someone more logical ( say Kabuto , the Orochimaru copycat himself ) and act much substantially in the narrative . Instead , fans got quite an odd send - off for a now virtuously conflicting man .

Karin

Karin , obsessive and well-informed , is one of the oddest character onNaruto . While fan could understand Sakura ’s love for Sasuke because of their history , Karin adored him even though she only know his as a grotesque , sanguinary baddie . Ultimately , whenNaruto change by reversal Sasuke towards Konoha again , Karin was left alone in one of Orochimaru ’s radix .

However , Karin plain help Sakura give birth to Sarada and decided to keep the umbilical corduroy . When Sarada was questioning her heritage , this helped make things all the more confusing for her . Karin may be interesting , but keeping an umbilical electric cord verifies she ’s still a little creepy and she should stick to her science research laboratory .

Shino

In construct , Shino has always been nerveless and powerful . His personality fits , as he ’s very composed , estimate , and has quite the " too cool for school " vibe . Ironically , he becomes a instructor . However , as Shino ’s use of insects became more powerful ,   Kishimoto begin using him less and less .

As a instructor now , he fundamentally has a given intensity level limit , since he ca n’t do much beyond what his scholar should know . Once , Shino was bizarre and fascinating . Now , he ’s water down so much that it would just be full to get disembarrass of him entirely .

Akamaru

Now , of class Akamaru is a sweet , formidable adept boy . If fans could have him forever , bully . He and Kiba are a peachy pair that hold on through every series . However , byBoruto , Akamaru is a very old dog . If a fan does the math , he ’ll be go up 30 .

WhileNarutodogs may be different than normal dog-iron , Akamaru still front very lethargic and elderly . Though no one wants him to go , it might be fourth dimension for the beloved doggo to get some peace . After all , he had a ninja career longer than some human shinobi . This good boy deserves a dependable , long remainder .

Kabuto

Of all theNarutovillains , Kabuto is one of the most hated . A mix of a second in command suck - up and a twisted , selfish scientist , he ’s all of the worst . He has few to no redeem qualities . Though he does n’t deserve redemption , because of Konoha ’s bizarre judicial insurance ( spoilers , there really are none ) , he terminate up running the orphanage .

ByBoruto , his personality is muted , tolerant , and care . While that ’s not his original personality at all , it also micturate for a bland character that does n’t match with the Kabuto fan cognise . Not only should he never be commit with work children when he spend a good chunk of his life try out on them , but also , he should have been properly imprisoned long ago .

Naruto

While Naruto does need to go , the explanation is complex . Between him and Sasuke , they take   a mess of weight out of battles when these two overmaster ninja can always step in . The story clearly plans to off him at some period , so the writers should do it and explore the chaos his expiration would get .

Yes , Naruto has been the protagonist for so foresighted and fans deal a lot about him . However , Boruto is now the main character and he postulate the limelight to himself . Otherwise , the new generation will always be in Naruto ’s shadow .
