He called his dad a jerk,wrote shitty dad on his face at the hokage mountain and despite knowing his Dad's position said he hates him and he really has everything one could possibly want.its not like Naruto isn't spending time.He is clearly using clones too He is just like the son of a president.Now the only reason he is doing this is because he is one of those rich kids screaming they want everything they desire or else throw a tantrum
I don't think that's the real problem. Without comparing him to children who actual faced problems like Naruto, or Sasuke. Even Sarada who is looking for her father, his conflict lies not with Naruto himself, but the fact that Naruto can't or won't spend time with him, as the real him. I may be wrong, because we have not really seen much of his character aside from a few panels ... But this kid loves his father, probably a lot more than Naruto would expect. Which is why it hurts or frustrates him that he can't spend quality time with his father.
Before we go on the clone example, how would you feel if your father could create clones at any time to spend time with you? What sets that apart for him just making clones to spend time with everyone else? Nothing. That's his father, whom he probably had a close bond with before he became Hokage (The Last for reverence).
Is Boruto being immature? Yes.
Is Boruto not being understanding? **** yeah.
Does he need to grow up? Oh he will.
Boruto is a child at the end of the day, and him having a mother, sister, and friends too don't seem to be a core problem for him. I think it's only his father. Yeah he should be grateful that he has one in the first place, but there's an arguble difference to having a father, not having a father, and then having a father who can't spend the time that you want with him. In Boruto's eyes (from Chapter 1 when he hid from the shadow clone under the sign) you could tell that it angers him, and it doesn't really give room for much answers on what exactly is his problem aside from the real Naruto not spending time with him. Though I hope a good explanation plays through, I'm just going to wait. Because outside of his father the kid is very well mannered, and understanding.
He only wanted to play pranks after class was over, and in the Gaiden he didn't really seem to be a disruptive kid at all. Mitsuki told him something and he said something back. Later in the story Sarada asks him if she could bring the bento that he originally was bringing to his father, but Naruto had to leave which angered Boruto in a way. But after Sarada speaking to him, Boruto begins to notice that something is off about her, especially through her words. So he gives it to her. Funny enough as she runs away Boruto gives her a sorrowed expression of worry.
He isn't the most interesting character that I outright state, but I wish his problem with his father was more on the lines of seeking acknowledgement, rather than this. However, I am willing to give him a chance. Something that few people will consider since they aimlessly name him a brat, worthless clone, and etc.,
I will just tip my hat off in the end.
