Just been thinking about this.

Since Naruto was an Orphan, and Iruka was basically the first guy to acknowledge him or w.e right (yea Iruka > Jiraiya, to Naruto in importance). And Iruka is basically a grandpa.

Naruto and his age difference is 10 years or so. Minato and Jiraiya's was 14 years or so. At Minato's death Jiraiya was 38, and Minato was 24. And we all know Jiraiya was basically Naruto's grandpa.

So in essence, would it make sense that Iruka acts as Bolt's grandpa, as Jiraiya was to Naruto.



ORRR

Is Iruka in the uncle category?

stopped reading when OP said iruka is basically bolt's grandpa

Then why'd click the thread and waste your time.... The title made it pretty clear that the thread was focused on Iruka being Bolt's grandpa.

I kinda wanna say that Iruka is the grandpa and maybe Konohamaru is the possible Uncle or something similar.

I was thinking Sasuke as more of the uncle. Since hes basically Naruto's brother from another mother.

I was actually thinking of asking this question myself. :D I was thinking that iruka would more than likely be like a grandpa to bolt mainly because of the fact that when naruto got married in the last iruka not only took on a lot of the responsibilities associated with a father but he even behaved as one by crying at the wedding and mentioning how proud he was that naruto had progressed as far as he had in life. In chapter 700 I think it was pretty much foreshadowed that iruka watches over bolt as a grandfather would and even helps konohamaru understand bolt a bit better.

Jirayah is more of a grandpa to be honest. He is canonically it.

He'll probably call Tsuande grandma too, lol.

Iruka is more of a teacher, but he has his fathers manners ever old guy is Grandpa

He's like a father to Naruto, but whatever Boruto calls him, it will end with a -chan to denote their close relationship.
