As a successor to the generally popular Naruto, Boruto has shown the next generation of shinobi and their growth into adults, similar to Naruto and his friends in the original anime. As Boruto's father, Naruto often appears in the anime, along with Sasuke and Sakura, among many other major main characters. However, there are quite a few characters missing from the original series as well.

Trainer for Gaara
Baki is first seen in Naruto during the Chunin Exams, where he watches his student, Gaara, compete. Baki is one committed coachand worked alongside Gaara for most of his career as a shinobi. Not only does he often defend his village with ease, such as during the Kazekage Rescue Mission, but he also often keeps in touch with former students.
Baki didn't show up very often Narutobut he had great influence behind the scenes. He regularly supported Gaara, and some of the other students as well, so a resurgence Boruto would be much appreciated. He cared deeply for his village and let him return to meet the next generation in the Boruto would surely be a crowd pleaser.

Yugao Uzuki
Anbu from Konoha
-
Member of the Anbu, a group of secret agents
-
Has great skill in kenjutsu and strong sensory abilities
-
Was assigned to logistic support and medical department
Yugao Uzuki may not have been a major character in Narutobut her performances always stole the limelight. After becoming one anbu as a childher backstory is a special one and unlike any other. Exceptionally skilled in kenjutsu, she eventually suffers a tragic loss when her longtime boyfriend, Hayate, dies while tracking down Kabuto.

These iconic female characters from the Naruto series are well known for their influence on Masashi Kishimoto's popular series.
But later Narutoshe is forced to fight Hayate when he suddenly resurrects, and his consciousness is controlled by Kabuto. She defeats him in battle, and he is once again sealed away, leaving Yugao with further scars. It would have been interesting to see Yugao Uzuki appear Boruto in the future, with an insight into her current life without Hayate, and if she decides to return to the anbu.

Yoshino Nara
Wife of Shikaku, head of the Nara clan
-
Married to Shikaku, mother of Shikamaru
-
Is a chunin level kunoichi
-
Talented in hand-to-hand combat
As the wife of the head of the Nara clan, as well as mother of Shikamarumany may see Yoshino Nara as a secondary character without much ability. However in Narutoshe actually turns out to be a formidable kunoichi, and is particularly gifted at taijutsu. She even takes down a group of sumo wrestlers using only hand-to-hand combat and some cooking pots as weapons.
It would have been great to see Yoshino pop up again Borutobecause not only was she a devoted mother and wife, but she showed impressive strength and care for her village. In which Shikamaru often appears Boruto series, an occasional visit to his mother would have been nice to see to further expand his backstory. Despite coming across as an unassuming character, Yoshino Nara actually had the potential to be a significant addition to the story.

Ebisu
Tokubetsu Jonin from Konoha
-
Leader of Team Ebisu
-
Extremely skilled trainer
-
Can perform Shadow Clone Technique and Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet
Ebisu was a special one skilled trainer in Naruto series, and even had his own team, consisting of Konohamaru Sarutobi, Udon, and Moegi. He had an intense focus on his work as a shinobi and always seemed truly devoted to his village and those around him. However, he was nicknamed the “secret perv” due to his awkward and inappropriate actions when around women.
Naruto: The 29 Best Villains, Ranked
From rogue ninjas to terrorists and even alien creatures, the best villains in Naruto are in a league of their own.
Despite some of his (major) flaws, many fans miss having Ebisu in the story, as he is completely absent Boruto series. He was a dedicated trainer, having led his students through some intense A-rank missions, including the time when Furido invaded Konoha and his students helped lead the inhabitants of the village to safety. Although he did not serve as the main character in Narutohe appeared often and always entertained the viewers.

Haku
Mercenary Ninja
-
Trained under Zabuza Momochi
-
A descendant of the Yuki clan
-
Has many different abilities
Haku comes from a tragic background, having lost her mother at the hands of her own father after he discovered she was a practitioner of a kekkei genkai. As an orphan, he is discovered by Zabuza Momochi and trained to become a shinobi. As Zabuza battles Kakashi several times, Haku is always there to back him up and protect him, proving to be a formidable foe against Naruto and his friends.
However, Haku eventually dies while protecting Zabuza, despite the latter trying to show no care or affection towards Haku. Later in the story, he is reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces, but is eventually returned to the afterlife. If Haku had been able to make an appearance in Borutoit would have been interesting to see him resurrected, but no longer as a tool for Zabuza.

Zabuza Momochi
Demon of the Hidden Mist
-
A missing nin from The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist
-
Trained Haku
-
Kirigakure's most powerful shinobi
One of them first major enemies of Naruto and his team, Zabuza Momochi was an unforgettable villain with a rich history and impressive abilities. Early in his career, he slaughtered over 100 academy students, earning him the nickname “Demon of the Hidden Mist”. Often at odds with others in the village, he tried to overthrow the Mizukage, but failed. This led to him becoming a wandering anbu, where he eventually found Haku.
Naruto: 8 Characters Who Got Surprisingly Strong
You can't judge some Naruto characters by their looks. Here are some unlikely examples that turned out to be surprisingly strong.
Zabuza trained Haku to become one of the most powerful anbu, and he tried to use him as his own personal weapon. Although he was ultimately defeated by Kakashi, it would be interesting to see him return alongside Haku in Borutowith both of them potentially resurrecting again. Boruto could possibly explore the two characters in a life apart from each other, and how that would change their paths.
