Boro (ボロ, Boro) was an inner of the organization Kara.
Appearance[]
Boro was a large, muscular man with white hair and white facial hair. He wears a similar cape to the others members of Kara which has a mix of black and blue tints. He was shown to have body marks like stripes on his body. After Boro lost his "core" from Sarada's attack, his body morphed into an octopus-like shape and he got far bigger than he was already.
Abilites[]
Boro was recognized by Kawaki as a bigger threat than Jigen, the leader of Kara. He was very strong and powerful in hand-to-hand combat, evidenced by the fact that none of Team 7 could weaken him using taijutsu. Boro was also very tactiful as he was able to keep fighting the four genin without leaving openings for them to take Naruto and escape. Boro also has high regenerative capabilities.
Physical Prowess[]
Befitting his large stature, Boro was very strong, being able to easily lift the massive sealing kettle that contained the Seventh Hokage with a single hand and hurl it a great distance. He could also easily break out of being restrained by Mitsuki's snakes. He was deceptively fast, able to skilfully escape from his enemies' sights after creating a diversion and quickly intercept his opponent's escape. Boro's body was also highly resilient, able to remain standing after taking a direct hit from a Rasengan and effortlessly shrug an attack from Kawaki's transformed arm. Additionally, he showed great pain tolerance, able to take all of Team 7 and Kawaki's blows that landed that could destroy his body. He was also shown to be very proficient in taijutsu, able to easily fend off the combined assault Team 7 and Kawaki with punishing blows.
Ninjutsu[]
Boro was also able to perform a regeneration technique that could rapidly undo all physical damage to his being and even negate the effects of poison. He had proficiency in shurikenjutsu, able to stealthily launch shurikens laced with gunpowder. He could also produce a dark mist that was unaffected by Wind Release techniques and acted as a carrier for other surprise attacks, such as mixing it with gunpowder to instantly detonate with the slightest spark.
Nature Transformation[]
Boro was able to use Fire, Earth, and Water Release. By combining the first two, he could use Lava Release to create a potent acid able to release still easily melt shuriken. With Water Release, he could produce surging walls that could easily repel Mitsuki's Lightning Release: Snake Lightning, and Sarada Uchiha's Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. Also, by utilising Yin Release, he could communicate with others via genjutsu.
Scientific Ninja Tools[]
Like with all other members of Kara, Boro's body had been modified with Scientific Ninja Tools by Amado Sanzu, with which Boro was able to release a fast-acting virus that is carried by his dark mist. The virus paralysed his opponents upon contact, and as it was a form of physical matter rather than chakra, it could not be absorbed by Kāma. Boro himself was immune to this virus due to carrying the antibodies for it in his bloodstream. His body was also modified with a special core that he could migrate inside body, which served to instantly activate and augment his healing technique, enough to survive virtually any damage and regenerate within seconds, even if his head was completely obliterated. At the same time, his modifications were dependent on the core to keep his body stabilized, as without it, his body would mutate uncontrollably, causing him to enter Rampage Mode (暴走モード, Bōsō Mōdo), in which he grew to extraordinary size and his limbs transformed into tentacles.
Intelligence[]
Boro was very proficient in manipulating other people, discreetly polluting lands and then appearing to cleanse them of their diseases, giving the illusion of himself as a miracle healer in order to gain their trust. He was a skilled orator, using his alleged experiences of the Infinite Tsukuyomi to coax many people into following him, and persuading them that the Ōtsutsuki clan are benevolent gods despite their antagonistic actions. His brainwashing was so powerful and in-depth that, despite his death and exposed crimes, his followers remained delusional in him being their saviour.
History[]
Boro first appears in the Mujina Bandits Arc at a Kara meeting using genjutsu.
Kara Actuation Arc[]
Ao Arc[]
Boro attended a meeting held by Jigen to discuss the urgent situation relating to the missing "vessel". As Jigen dispelled the genjutsu he used to talk to the Inners, he voiced that they must recover the "vessel" at all costs. In the anime, Boro was called by Amado Sanzu alongside the other Inners to have their bodies checked to detect anything suspicious regarding the traitor under the pretense of just being a maintenance. However, he only showed up by hologram and complained that if Amado wanted something to come to him instead. He also revealed that he knew about Victor's betrayal and execution.
Kawaki Arc[]
In the anime, as Boro continued the expansion of his cult, he was approached by Code, who was assigned to bring Boro in for a maintenance check. While initially refusing, Boro chose not to let things resort to violence and agreed to come. After Delta was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, Boro was present and teased her over her defeat. He attended the meeting with the other Inners and he was informed that Boruto Uzumaki had his own genuine Kāma. In the anime, after his maintenance check was completed with no problems, he overheard that his tests were actually meant to scan his memories for the chance of him being the traitor. Boro was furious at both the traitor still not being discovered and even more that he was suspected of it. Later, Boro began his own investigation into Victor's crashed airship. At the crash site, he found something within the control systems, which made him suspect Koji Kashin of treason. He later returned to his cult and preached salvation by the Ōtsutsuki Clan through the Infinite Tsukuyomi. During his sermon, he alleged that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was killed by the shinobi of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, and lied that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was destroyed by the great nations to retain their control on the world.
Later in the anime, Boro approached Koji Kashin via genjutsu as he was still hiding in Konoha. He revealed to Koji the spy toad of his that he recovered from the crashed airship, accusing Koji of being the traitor. Koji however did not deny it was his toad, explaining that Jigen suspected trouble during the transfer of Kawaki and had Koji keep an eye on things. He also noted that Jigen had recently entered the village and spotted Koji, yet did nothing to him. As Boro accepted Koji's explanation, annoyed at hitting a dead end on his investigation, he was pleased to hear some good news. Hearing that Kawaki's Kāma was already showing much maturity thanks to his continued interaction with Boruto's Kāma, Boro declared they now had much more time to work with. He ended the communication as he was contacted elsewhere.
He was assigned to keep watch on the Seventh Hokage as he was sealed in a tea pot in Kara's Dimension by Jigen. Shortly after, Team 7 came into his vicinity, leading to Boro joyfully recognising Kawaki. As the ninjas prepared to fight the Inner member, Boro quickly displayed his might, changing the landscape with his Lava Release. As Kawaki absorbed the technique with his Kāma, Boro went for a sneak attack, which was absorbed by Boruto's Kāma. Boro was amazed to see another Kāma wielder. As Boro continued to endure Kawaki and Boruto's attacks and quickly heal, even from Mitsuki's venomous snake bites, he exposed them to his Dark Cloud, sapping away their strength. Boro expressed his delight in meeting Boruto, noting that Boruto's Kāma meant that Kara's time limit for completing their plans can now extended through Boruto as the vessel of Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki. While planning to take Boruto back to Kara along with Kawaki, the combined effort of Mitsuki and Sarada Uchiha gave the team an opening to retreat. Boro however remained calm, knowing they would return since their goal for arriving was freeing the Hokage.
Soon after, Boro was approached by Sarada, who revealed to know the truth behind his Dark Cloud. Impressed at her insight, he quickly attacked her, forcing her on the defence as he worked to infect Sarada like the others. Ultimately, he caught and infected her. He began mocking her situation, but was surprised by her ability to launch a Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique on him and a powerful punch. With Boro injured by the attack, Boruto and Kawaki also made their move, fully recovered from the virus, and obliterated the man's head. Boro, however, reacted in time to activate his regeneration technique before being hit, letting him survive and completely recover. Boro deduced that Mitsuki's snake took some of his blood and harvested the antibodies in it, immunizing Team 7 to his virus. Impressed by their abilities, Boro decided he would have to throw them off their team-strategy and went for the sealed Hokage, tricking Kawaki into breaking formation.
Kawaki Was infected by Boro's Virus
Boro's Water Dragon Jutsu
Boro launched some shuriken at Kawaki, who blocked them, only for them to explode. Boro was amazed that despite being injured, Kawaki still moved to protect Naruto. Boro voiced his displeasure at Kawaki's new soft nature and swore to have Kawaki retrained from scratch. The children continued their team assault on Boro, who repeatedly regenerated from everything that was done to him. As he began to beat down the exhausted foes, Sarada struck at Boro's core with her Chidori, having located it and learned of its significance for his regeneration from Kawaki. Successfully removing the core, Boro's body began mutating without its stabiliser into a massive and misshapen form. As Boruto and Kawaki used their Kāma to free Naruto from the seal, Boro managed to regain some control of himself, he turned his rage on the kids and quickly overpowered them. Suddenly, Boruto's Kāma evolved further, replacing Boruto's consciousness with Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's, who exhibited a massive boost in power to effortlessly destroy Boro.
