Board Thread:Boruto: Naruto the Movie/@comment-26010916-20150806143152/@comment-26883387-20150914131805

I do not think that Boruto is lazy, but rather, impatient, desperate for attention. Though his rasengan may lack in size and power, to get it to where it is at all still take a lot of effort. He may have grumbled when Sasuke made him train in Shuriken-jutsu, but he still put enough practice to get it to a stage where it won him a round in the Chuunin exam. So granted, he is not beyond looking for shortcuts, but I think the events of the movie was a lesson for him to understand that there is no substitute for hard work.

Himawari has not shown to be hard working either. Not saying she isn't, it hasn't been shown. Her non-rebellious behaviour -might- be due to greater maturity, but it may simply because she is just a good little kid (kids in Japan are really well behaved in general) and Boruto had just hit the puberty (you know, that time of life when you get rebellious). I am leaning towards the later.. I mean, if she was wise beyond her years she wouldn't react the way she did when her soft toy got torn, and she wouldn't knock out her dad.

And remember, Boruto has particularly angry at Naruto because he feels that he is not just neglecting him, but also his sister (ref: the birthday scene). So there is no doubt to me that he does love his family and friends and as previously stated has expressed a desire to protect the village in the future.. just not as a Hokage. There is nothing we have seen from Himawari that matches that so far. As you've said, we've seen very little of Himawari so far, and in the little we have seen, she comes across as a nice little girl who is scary if one manage to anger her, who has briefly shown crazy potential. But there is no scene in my opinion that suggest that she is hard working or has a strong will of fire.
