How old is Hanabi in Boruto?

When it comes to the vast universe of Naruto and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, it is easy to miss information about characters due to the huge cast, especially of those who once played small roles but have grown into more significant figures.

One such character that stands out is Hinata Hyuga’s younger sister, Hanabi Hyuga. A common question among fans about her is: How old is Hanabi in Boruto? Hanabi Hyuga is around 27 years old at the start of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

She was born on March 27, five years after Hinata Hyuga was born, and was first introduced in the Naruto series as the younger sister of Hinata. Hanabi was extremely talented, and even her father considered Hanabi as a better contender to be the next leader of their clan.

She is more focused and composed, whereas Hinata was gentle and hesitant about everything. Her character got more screen time in this series. Interestingly, she is a jonin-level shinobi from Konohagakure (the Hidden Leaf Village).

In this series she is shown to be the mentor to the next generation of ninjas, and is the team leader of Team 15. Although Hanabi is not one of the main cast, her appearance in the anime shows how much she has matured and evolved to be wise and a strong shinobi.

As a member of the Hyuhga clan, Hanabi has awakened the power of Byakugan. In the universe of Naruto, people who have these eyes have one of the most powerful dōjutsu (eye techniques). As this allows the user to have almost 360-degree vision, it lets them see the chakra network and a strong vision that helps them stop any opponents from a far distance.

Another ability she has is called Gentle Fist. It is the special technique of the Hyuga clan that uses the signature taijutsu. It is a very effective technique, as it directly hits the opponent’s chakra points and they are unable to fight anymore. Over the years, Hanabi has worked hard to become better at physical combat and become a jonin.

Her relationship with Hinata was once full of tension, largely because their father preferred Hanabi to be their heir. However, Hanabi never showed ignorance or arrogance towards her sister and kept to herself. However, their relationship changed in Boruto. We see that the sisters share a close relationship. She often visits Hinata and spends time with Boruto and Himawari. Hanabi also seems to admire Hinata for her growth and strength.

Her role in the Hyuga clan in Boruto

Hanabi Hyuga in Boruto is the current heir of the Hyuga clan. After Hinata got married to Naruto and left her duties, Hanabi was appointed in her place to be the leader. The series has not yet shown how she is managing her role as the heir of the Hyuga Clan in recent years.

Although there is potential for her role in the clan to expand in future arcs, especially as the series explores more of the old clans and their place in the modern shinobi world. Fans can wait and hope that the series gives her more attention.

In conclusion, Hanabi at 27 years of age stands out as one of the most impressive characters in the series. Even if she is not the main character, Hanabi has gracefully carried herself and the will of the Hyuga clan. Furthermore, she is at her peak as a shinobi and is a great mentor to her students. Fans may still be waiting for her moment to shine fully, but what we have seen so far is enough to recognize her as an important part of the Hidden Leaf Village.
