Why is Mitsuki Obsessed with Boruto

Unfortunately, there is no official explanation for why Mitsuki prefers Boruto’s company to the point that he appears obsessed with him.

Many fans believe that Mitsuki has a high opinion of Boruto as he is the son of the Seventh Hokage.

It also seems like Mitsuki is amazed at how Boruto lives his life to the fullest as the former is only used to following his parent's orders, Orochimaru.

Through Boruto, Mitsuki learned the concept of free will. His mental state started to develop like a normal teenager, which might be the goal of Orochimaru and why he let the two become friends.

There are still many things Mitsuki has to learn, and with Boruto by his side, he can undergo more developments in the future.

The good thing is that Boruto returns the same admiration and care toward Mitsuki.

If Mitsuki has no hesitations to save Boruto and Sarada, even to the point that he will risk his life, the same can be seen in Boruto’s actions whenever Mitsuki is hurt.

They might be weird sometimes, but Mitsuki and Boruto do have a genuine and strong bond.

Since Orochimaru created Mitsuki, many fans were suspicious of Mitsuki’s admiration towards Boruto.

Is there an ulterior motive? So far, it seems like Orochimaru wanted Mitsuki to befriend Boruto.

Even if Orochimaru was a villain in the Naruto series, he had a change of heart in Boruto. He intentionally made Boruto and Mitsuki become friends and even pushed Mitsuki to rebel just for the latter to learn about free will.

Since the two have become friends, Mitsuki started to learn more about other people and himself that he would never learn from Orochimaru.

During the Mitsuki Disappearance Arc, Mitsuki struggled to learn more about his purpose in the village.

He was even scared that his desire to be friends with Boruto was an artificial one. However, in the end, he realized his friendship with Boruto was real.

So to answer if Mitsuki will ever betray Boruto, it is impossible for that to happen given how close the two are.
