i've notced some things recently that make me believe that Konohamaru could be Uzumaki on his mom's side. There are a lot of signs pointing to Konohamaru being half Sarutobi and half Uzumaki. Throughout the series, we see Konohamaru and his bond with Naruto grow. He was a follower, a friend, a rival and a student. In Boruto, we see their bond grow to the point where Konohamaru was the only one who could stand in for Naruto during his Hokage coronation.

Let delve into his story a little bit more. Like Naruto, he is an orphan looked after by the 3rd Hokage. All we know of Konohamaru’s parents are that they were ANBU members, thus, their identities have been obscured. His mother could very well be an Uzumaki.

At an early age he was shown to admire Naruto like a younger brother would. Konohamaru would even develop a verbal tic: “dakore.” Granted, not all Uzumaki have shown this tic, but not all Uzumaki have had as many have had as many lines of dialogue. Both Konohamaru and Naruto shortened their tic to -kore and -ttebayo, respectively.

Another Uzumaki trait is his high chakra levels as a genin. He was able to perform Tajuu Kage Bunshin like Naruto. This jutsu was forbidden for the stress i caused normal ninja. But it was said that the only reason Naruto was able to do it so easily was due to his high chakra. We know Naruto had Kurama sealed within him, but Uzumaki have unnaturally high chakra in general. It hasn’t been stated how high the Sarutobi clan’s chakra is under normal circumstances, but i don’t think it would be to the extent that they could spam shadow clones the way Naruto and Konohamaru do.
