Boro

was an Inner from the organisation Kara and the leader of an Ōtsutsuki-worshipping cult.

Background
At some point, Boro established his own cult to follow his fanatical views. While ordered by Jigen to destroy the powerful cyborgs Amado had created, Boro in truth had Ada stored away after Boro became affected by her alluring power, alongside her brother, Daemon at his cult's base. In the anime, he would secretly poison lands and then appear as the "Saviour", using his abilities to cleanse the lands and become revered by all around him, promising a world of bliss and salvation to those who joined his cult. He preached to his followers that the Ōtsutsuki Clan were benevolent gods and benevolent to humanity, whose guidance would grant them world peace through the Infinite Tsukuyomi. He also angrily lamented on how the Five Great Shinobi Countries had killed three of them and undid the Infinite Tsukuyomi, claiming they did to selfishly preserve their own status quo in the world.

Personality
Much like other members of Kara, Boro carried himself with a very confident, if not smug, attitude. He openly viewed himself as a man chosen by God and laughed at Victor's misfortunes saying he was forsaken. At the same time, he was willing to disobey orders he didn't agree with, hiding the truth to serve his own purpose. In the anime, his shameless nature was also shown to be very manipulative, poisoning people and then saving them to make them blind followers of his cult. Despite knowing his powers were a deception, he deluded himself into believing he was a true miracle maker, saving the world through his actions. He even viewed his body modifications as the ultimate body and power that cannot be matched by any shinobi. Upon facing the various abilities of Team 7 and Kawaki, he faced them down in a very condescending nature, viewing their efforts as pointless. Additionally, he was also shown to have a teasing side, mocking Delta over her defeat at Naruto's hands and stating he wanted to see her down face. Also a committed man, he remained vigilant in his mission to safeguard the sealed Seventh Hokage. Very knowledgeable, Boro was shown able to quickly determine and handle most threats with little shock. As with Jigen, he was devoted to Kara's goal, and was uninterested in other matters such as Mitsuki's attempts to attack him, even being willing to let him escape had he not continued to attack him, but became ever more grateful for Boruto Uzumaki's status as Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's vessel, desiring to capture him for Kara's benefit. Like with Delta and Jigen, he saw Kawaki's attachment to Konoha as being a weakness in their coveted vessel and expressed his desire to retrain him from scratch as soon as he brought Kawaki back. When his core was destroyed by Sarada Uchiha's Chidori and his body began to mutate, he lost his composure and went into an insane rage, attacking anyone around him with wild swings.

Appearance
Boro was a tall middle-aged man with a heavily-built and well-muscled frame. He had short spiky white hair on the very top of his head, a trimmed moustache, a beard stretching along his jawline to his temple, and violet eyes. He also sported a trio of thick-line tattoos running down his face; two under each eye and the third one between his eyes from the nose to his head. These tattoos appeared to form the Roman numeral "Ⅲ". He also had a disk embedded on both sides of his temples, one on each of his pectorals, two on both his forearms, two on his shoulder-blades, and two at his hips. His body was also apparently modified to be void of gender-based anatomy.

Like other Inner members of Kara, he wore a dark hooded robe. Beneath his robes, he wore a black coat over a blue shirt with a row of buttons on the right side; he tended to leave the bottom buttons undone. He also wore black pants with blue shinobi sandals and armbands with metal plates on the forearms. In the anime, Boro wore a white robe with a high collar while working as the leader of his cult.

Abilities
Being an Inner of Kara, Boro was regarded as completely monstrous in terms of power and made even stronger with his body modified by Amado. Noted as stronger than fellow Inner Delta, he was stated to be the next person to face Naruto Uzumaki after the strongest shinobi in history had just decisively defeated Delta in order to retrieve Kawaki from him. Kawaki has stated that Boro was in some ways even worse than Jigen, the leader of Kara. Kara held his abilities in high regards, having him guard the sealing coffin that held Naruto while expecting Sasuke Uchiha to save him. His might proved to be able to easily take on and overpower the combined might of Team 7 and Kawaki with his unique abilities.

Physical Prowess
Befitting his large stature, Boro was very strong, 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 , 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.

Kara Actuation Arc
In the anime, Boro was present when Jigen called a meeting with the Inners, informing them of the destruction of one of their facilities in Amegakure set by an Outer.

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.

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's, who exhibited a massive boost in power to effortlessly destroy Boro.

Legacy
In his arrogance, Boro revealed a critical clue to Boruto about Kara's plans. Upon facing Isshiki, Boruto realised from Boro's words that Isshiki required Boruto alive to accelerate his plans for the God Tree.

Code later assaulted Boro's cult compound in search of the cyborgs he had hidden away in violation of Jigen's orders to destroy them, threatening Bug to take him to Ada, and later encountering Daemon.

After his death, Konohamaru Sarutobi and Sai Yamanaka infiltrated Boro's cult to gather more information on Kara. They managed to uncover evidence that revealed Boro's crimes and fraudulence, but his followers denied all of Boro's wrongdoing, remaining faithful to him as their saviour, and ultimately died believing that Boro would save them as Delta destroyed the headquarters. Those who did survive were left in a traumatised and shocked state.
