It seems like only yesterday that Naruto and Hinata were the young, hot talk of the Leaf Village; other star members of team 7, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, were fighting right alongside (formerly) titular shinobi of the Naruto series.
It’s 2022, and times have changed; what a difference 16 years after Naruto Shippuden makes.
Enter Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the newest big project from creator Masashi Kishimoto.
Naruto and Sasuke are fully-fledged adults of 33 years old, and the story has shifted to the more youthful Boruto and Sarada.
Naruto Uzumaki may be the seventh Hokage, but his son Boruto is the main character.

Boruto’s Age (Plus Sarada, Naruto, and More Info)
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is chock full of family details among the shinobi of the Leaf Village. This article will answer many of your questions about Boruto Uzumaki n’ pals.
How Old Is Boruto Now?
A handful of sources have incorrect info when it comes to Boruto Uzumaki’s age; the flash-forward seems to have perplexed people who haven’t watched a second of the anime or read a single chapter of the manga.
This flash-forward scene kicks off the series but is absolutely NOT the chronological start of the Boruto canon.
Boruto is currently 13 years old in the manga and anime; Boruto Uzumaki was 12 years old when the series began, and in Boruto: Naruto the Movie, which takes place mid-series.
He is still a few years younger than shown in the flash-forward scene. His father, Naruto Uzumaki, was 21 years old when Boruto was born, making him 34 years old.
How Old Was Boruto in the Flash Forward?
Boruto was 16 years old in the flash-forward battle scene that opened the series. Neither the manga nor the anime has yet caught up to this point in the future.
The very first episode of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations features a scene from a ruinous future.
Boruto and Kawaki are displaying incredible feats of ninjutsu, genjutsu, and some forces well beyond what we’ve seen thus far. Both boys are older than we see them currently.
Early viewers will remember how big of a mystery this brawl seemed at the time; we’ve gotten some answers recently.
When Did Boruto Get His Karma Mark?
Boruto receives the Karma mark from MomoshikiOtsutsuki during the events of the Boruto movie, which roughly correspond with the Chunin Exam Arc; the specific episode is #65, Father and Child.
It bears repeating that Boruto is still 12 years old at this point, not older.
How Old Is Sarada Uchiha?
Sarada Uchiha is 12 years old during the movie, the same age as Boruto; it’s safe to assume she is currently 13 years old.The friends and teammates of Team Konohamaru are close like their parents were.
