Who is the guy with blue hair sitting next to Boruto?

Is it a new character or did I miss something from Naruto?

In Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage, who is this blue-haired guy sitting next to Boruto?


The character sitting next to Boruto is **Mitsuki**. He is a Konohagakure
shinobi who originated from an unknown village and also the team-mate of
Boruto and Sarada.

According to [Narutopedia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mitsuki):

> Born as Orochimaru's son, Mitsuki immigrated to Konohagakure, where he was
> then enrolled into the Konoha Academy. Most of Mitsuki's background is left
> as a complete mystery to the point where even his own team-mates don't know
> who his parents are.

Extract from [_Boruto: Naruto the
movie_](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mitsuki#Epilogue) summary:

> Boruto questions Mitsuki about his parentage, to which the latter says he is
> the son of Orochimaru. This shocks Sarada and she asks if Orochimaru is his
> mother or father while Boruto asks who Orochimaru is, and Mitsuki replies it
> doesn't matter, much to Boruto and Sarada's confusion.
