Boruto: Naruto Next Generations focuses on Boruto Uzumaki's story as he aims to become a splendid shinobi, the likes of which can be compared to Sasuke Uchiha. With Naruto's generation having grown up and taken control of the village, all the next generation of shinobi has fantastic figures to look up to.

Almost all the characters from Naruto's generation have become incredible shinobi who can now be considered great role models for all the kids. With the threat of the Kara and the Otsutsuki looming over the world, figures like them are certainly required.

10 Great Role Model: Naruto Uzumaki Is The Seventh Hokage

Naruto as Hokage

Naruto Uzumaki is the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure and the greatest hero in the history of the story. His struggles throughout his life and the things that he's accomplished make him an incredible role model for the kids.

The likes of Sarada Uchiha have been heavily inspired by Naruto and want to become the Hokage like him. Other shinobi, like Iwabee, also look up to him since he's a terrific figure to look up to.

9 Terrible Role Model: Jigen Only Cares About Himself

Jigen Revealing His Face

Jigen is the Kara's leader and one of Boruto's biggest antagonists. At some point, he established an organization known as the Kara and worked towards cultivating a God Tree and getting stronger.

Although quite powerful, Jigen is hardly a decent role model. He adopted Kawaki and abused him until he escaped from the village. At the same time, he planned to use his body as his vessel and a person such as him makes for a terrible role model for anyone.

8 Great Role Model: Tsunade Senju Is One Of The Greatest Kunoichi

Tsunade Using Mitotic Regeneration: A Thousand Healing in the 4th great ninja war

Tsunade Senju is one of Konohagakure's legendary figures. She was a member of the Legendary Sannin. Years after playing a crucial role in the Second Great Ninja War, Tsunade Senju became the village's Fifth Hokage.

She's an excellent medical ninja and her knowledge and experience as a kunoichi make her an invaluable asset to the village. For any shinobi, Tsunade Senju would make an amazing role model because of all the qualities that she possesses.

7 Terrible Role Model: Orochimaru Has Committed Several Crimes

Orochimaru Gets Ready To Fight in Naruto

Like Tsunade Senju, Orochimaru is a member of Konohagakure's Legendary Sannin, however, unlike her, he isn't loved in the village. This is due to the fact that Orochimaru took part in several vile experiments when he was in the village.

After being snubbed for the Hokage position, he escaped the village and attempted to destroy it several times. While he's much less harmful now, the decisions that he's taken in the past certainly can't be erased. All things considered, Orochimaru would make a terrible role model.

6 Great Role Model: Kakashi Hatake Was A War Hero

Sakumo Hatake's son, Kakashi, was a genius shinobi right since he was a kid. Growing up, it was quite easy to see that he held tremendous potential, and by the time he matured as a ninja, he had already surpassed most around him. Kakashi went on to become the Sixth Hokage and gained the respect of everyone in the village.

Most importantly, Kakashi raised Team 7 to be the shinobi that they're today. For that, and the countless other good deeds he's done over the years, Kakashi is certainly an incredible role model.

5 Terrible Role Model: Ao Joined The Kara After Betraying The Shinobi

Ao Speaking With tHe 5th Mizukage

Ao was once regarded as an incredible shinobi who served Kirigakure after their toughest time, following the Bloody Mist era. He played a massive role in the Fourth Great Ninja War and was one of the key figures in the Shinobi Alliance's headquarters.

After the war, however, Ao joined the Kara and worked for them right until the moment of his death. In doing so, he betrayed his village, and the shinobi cause itself. A shinobi like him would certainly make a bad role model.

4 Great Role Model: Sakura Haruno Fought Against All The Odds

Sakura Haruno was a member of Konohagakure's Team 7 and is currently one of the strongest Kunoichi in the world, if not the strongest. Sakura's start to life as a shinobi was very different from what it is now. She was not a born genius like Sasuke or had a Tailed Beast like Naruto.

Sakura was more of a human than most characters in the story and despite everything, she rose to become a fantastic Kunoichi. Undoubtedly, she's a role model to every ninja to exist in Naruto's world.

3 Terrible Role Model: Udon Doesn't Offer Much As A Ninja

Udon Boruto

Udon is a Jonin who once served as a member of Team Ebisu, along with Konohamaru Sarutobi, and Moegi Kazamatsuri. While Konohamaru and Moegi went on to become great ninja with terrific powers, Udon isn't quite up there with them.

He's certainly an average shinobi but it's safe to assume that due to his mediocrity, he wouldn't make a good role model.

2 Great Role Model: Sasuke Uchiha Is The Other Hokage

Sasuke Uchiha is one of the strongest shinobi in the world and he's also a loyal shinobi of Konohagakure. Just like Naruto, Sasuke puts his life on the line to protect the village. Although he lost his path in life once, the village has long forgotten that as his good side has certainly outweighed the bad by far.

Sasuke dedicates his life to protect the village and those who live there, making him an incredibly special role model to the likes of Boruto, among many others.

1 Terrible Role Model: Momoshiki Otsutsuki Is Purely Evil

Momoshiki absorbs kinshiki Boruto

Momoshiki Otsutsuki appeared as the main antagonist of the Versus Momoshiki arc. Along with Kinshiki Otsutsuki, he attacked Konohagakure and kidnapped Naruto. Later, he fought him and Sasuke and ultimately fell to Boruto Uzumaki. Momoshiki planned to destroy the earth and that alone makes him a terrible person and unfit for being a role model to anyone.

Momoshiki is also incredibly selfish and was willing to kill his own brethren for the sake of power, something that goes against every fiber of Naruto's being.
