However, compared to his father, Naruto at his age, Boruto is more refined and crafty, (seemingly) knowing all the shortcuts, as well as more mature in knowing how the world works. He even possesses a verbal tic, "dattebasa" (だってばさ), that is similar to Naruto's "dattebayo" and his paternal grandmother's "(da)ttebane" ((だ)ってばね). Like his father, Naruto, Boruto is loud, energetic, and stubborn. Fearful of what an attack that could knock out his father would do to him, Boruto tried to run from Himawari, although she easily located him hiding in a closet. Sensing her killing intent, Naruto protected Boruto and was knocked out in the process due to the attack landing on one of his chakra points. When the toy's head was ripped off in the ensuing tug-of-war, Himawari awakened her Byakugan and attacked Boruto in her anger, despite his vehement apologies.

However, Boruto feared that he would end up carrying it, so he tried to take it away from her. On the day that Naruto was to be inaugurated as the Seventh Hokage, his sister Himawari wanted to bring her panda toy to the ceremony.
