In _Boruto_ , does Boruto have Sasuke's headband (from the original _Naruto_
series)? If so, why does Boruto have Sasuke's headband? Or will Boruto abandon
Konoha sometime in the future, and put a missing-nin slash on his headband?

This question was inspired by the above image. Also, what does the extra scar
(which matches with Boruto's eye scar) mean? If that is Sasuke's headband, why
would Boruto wear it instead of his own? Also wasn't Sasuke's headband blue,
not black?

I would appreciate any canon references that explain this.

Does Boruto have Sasuke's headband?


In the Boruto movie (which was released way before the Boruto manga/anime),
after Boruto cheats on the chuunin examination, Naruto disqualifies him and
takes his bandana from him. Later on, after Naruto is abducted, when Boruto
shows determination to rescue his father, Sasuke is shown to give him
"something", the scene cuts without showing what it is but in the next scene,
just before they go through the portal Sasuke made, Boruto puts on a "scarred"
bandana so it's implied it IS Sasuke's rogue ninja bandana. Later on he's
shown with a normal bandana though, no clue whatsoever wether it was returned
or not.

The bandana shown in that pic is one that you have to tie in the back, while
the bandanas shown in the current series are mostly elastic ones (including
Boruto's), which prompts me to believe that it's not Boruto's own bandana but
an older ninja's, it very well may be Sasuke's given Boruto's attachment and
admiration for him.

Personally, I feel like it's Naruto's. In _Shippuden_ , Sasuke's headband
cloth was never that long, but Naruto's was.

I'm not completely caught up so I could be wrong but so far that's my
assumption.

The headband Boruto puts on is actually blue. Compared to his black jacket and
his blue cloak, the cloak matches the headband so its most likely Sasuke's
headband and not Naruto's.

I believe this is his own headband because the extra scar matches with his
eye.

That is indeed Sasuke's headband. During the Chunin Exams arc, Boruto cheats
using the Scientific Ninja Tool, and when Naruto figures out he says he is
disqualified as a ninja and takes his headband. Later when the Five Kage,
Sasuke, and Boruto are preparing to rescue Naruto, he gives Boruto his
headband.

You may have noticed there is an extra slash other than the one Sasuke had. It
is shown that the skin over Boruto's eye is slashed and some damage goes to
his headband as well. That's why the slash and eye scar line up.

It is Sasuke's headband, but there is an extra slash because Boruto's eye is
later scarred.
