I'm only up to episode 5 in the _Boruto_ anime but the intro instantly implied
what I thought and after watching the first few episode it certainly suggests
that Boruto is a brat.

Does this point/suggest that Naruto might be too blame for this situation?

question
naruto boruto
Is Naruto an awful parent because Boruto is a brat?


Yes, and no. [Boruto](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Boruto_Uzumaki) acts
rebellious and resentful towards Naruto as he felt that his father being
Hokage took him away from his family.

> Initially nonchalant in his duties as a member of Team Konohamaru and is
> resentful of his father and the office of Hokage because it left him with no
> time for his family

Eventually Boruto and Naruto do come eye to eye in this aspect

> Boruto eventually comes to respect and reconcile with his father and his
> role as Hokage

However, most of Boruto’s arrogance comes from his lineage and believes he is
better than everyone else

> For these reasons, Boruto has a high opinion of himself and freely brags
> about his abilities, but his arrogance has made him put no value in
> teammates or teamwork, believing he can do anything on his own

No, I wouldn't call Boruto a brat. I'd term him stubborn. Being the son of
arguably the greatest shinobi/Hokage, Boruto is always known and accepted as
his father's son. He feels that he has no identity for himself apart from
being the 'Seventh's Son...!!!' which is why he despises his father. Naruto,
who can take down an entire Zetsu army, fails at being a father because he
himself had no father (Iruka, Jiraiya, Kakashi were close to father figures)
and doesn't know how to acknowledge his child. Boruto despises that fact. He
wants to rise above than being his father's son which he mistakes to be better
than his father. Not only in terms of nature, but also in strength.

Boruto, like any kid, has a lot of love for his mother and Himawari and cannot
stand to see them unhappy. So it's natural for him to feel that his father
doesn't have time to spend with his family at important occasions like
Himawari's birthday. He doesn't understand what it's to be a Hokage, at least
until the later episodes where he remarks that he still hasn't understood his
father yet.

In his mindset, he feels that becoming stronger than Naruto would be a great
way to get back at Naruto. Knowing that his father has only one person who can
match up to his level. He tries to learn from him.
