Why Does Boruto and Himawari Have one less Whisker mark than Naruto?


There is no guaranteed answer to that. But judging from various traits of
different characters that they have acquired through parents, I can say that
children of Naruto have inherited the trait of having whisker scars but not
the number of scars.

It is evident from the creators of the manga giving part father and part
mother traits to their children. Like in case of Naruto, he inherited his
father's hair color although Kushina's hair had a distinctive red unlike other
Uzumaki's. On the other hand, Naruto got his whiskers because of being exposed
to Kurama's chakra while he was in his mother's womb because Kurama was sealed
in Kushina.

Similarly, in case of Inojin (son of Sai and Ino), he inherited his father's
face and his mother's style. In Boruto and Himawari's case, they got the
whiskers because Naruto had and inherited the Jougan (Pure Eye - Boruto) and
Byakugan(Himawari) from their mother.

This I how I feel Boruto got his whiskers. It also may be as simple as the
fact being that Naruto and Boruto have been created by different people, and
they might want to distinguish Boruto from Naruto.
