The Hidden Leaf Village is located within the Land of Fire, one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations. Boruto Uzumaki lives here and he's the son of the village leader, Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage. One day, Boruto saves a boy named Denki Kaminarimon, who's being picked on. Denki is physically weak, so he is unable to stand up to the bullies. On his way to the entrance ceremony at the Ninja Academy, Boruto sees Denki again. He notices that his chakra is warped and that he is acting strangely.
After being suspended for the uproar he caused at the entrance ceremony, Boruto makes his way to the academy for the first time. His classmates ostracize him for being the son of the Seventh Hokage and for being suspended. Iwabe Yuino, one of Boruto's classmates, picks a fight with him. Iwabe is an older student who has a keen sense for battle, but was held back a year for his bad behavior. At first, Boruto ignores him no matter what he says. But when he sees Iwabe punch Denki for telling him to stop, Boruto can't ignore him any longer.
Boruto's classmate, Metal Lee, is very dilligent and is skilled at taijutsu. Unfortunately, he gets nervous easily and is unable to do his best when people are watching him. One day one of his classmates, Shikadai Nara, says something that enrages Metal, who attacks Shikadai the next day. Caught in the middle, Boruto notices that Metal's chakra is warped, just like Denki's.
At the suggestion of Shino Aburame, their homeroom teacher, Boruto and his classmates split off into gendered teams to capture flags placed on the roof. Boruto and the rest of the boys' team quickly head for the roof, but they struggle with traps and the girls' team, led by Sarada Uchiha and Chocho Akimichi. Desperate to capture a flag before the girls' team, Boruto tries out a Summoning Jutsu, but he ends up summoning something unexpected!
A new student named Mitsuki from the Hidden Sound joins Boruto's class. A student named Mitsuki has transferred into Boruto's class from Hidden Sound Village. He overwhelms Iwabe in sparring and shows his genius by solving difficult problems. However, Boruto and the others are unable to tell what he is thinking. Meanwhile, someone who has been doing repair work on the school, suddenly goes berserk. Boruto and the others rush over. Another side of Mitsuki emerges as he starts muttering strange words.
Boruto, Shikadai and Mitsuki arrive at the location they are told to go to by Shino. They notice their teacher is acting different than he usually does— and Shino suddenly attacks them! Shino belongs to the Aburame clan, a clan of Insect Users. He unleashes a swarm of Parasitic Insects. Boruto and the others can't match the skill of someone who's a jonin. But even in this situation, Mitsuki remains calm and coldly stares at Shino.
Cho-Cho's scared because she thinks she's being watched by someone, so she decides to catch them in the act. She succeeds in snagging Magire Kakuremino, and it turns out he wasn't watching Cho-Cho, but Sumire, the class rep, whom he secretly likes. Cho-Cho urges him to declare his love, and at first Magire hesitates. But he takes the leap and tells Sumire how he feels!
The shadowy, warped chakra that only Boruto can see takes over more people, causing them to rampage. It only affected people within the Academy at first, but now it’s extending its reach into the village. Can it be stopped? And later, a Visual Jutsu places Boruto within a dream—and afterward, Boruto declares the dream has awakened his Byakugan, the Kekkei Genkai unique to his mother’s Hyuga Clan. Naruto does not believe him, so Boruto seeks advice from his grandfather, Hiashi Hyuga.
Under his father and grandfather’s guidance, Boruto spars with his aunt Hanabi. Boruto has sought this match in order to win acceptance from his father, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t activate his Byakugan in any form. He begins to doubt that he even saw the shadowy warped chakra at all, and feels even worse when people begin to think he lied. But then Boruto sees another person being manipulated by the mysterious shadow.
Boruto nicknames the mysterious shadow “The Ghost” and is excited when he and his friends Shikadai and Mitsuki decide to solve the recent “Ghost Incidents.” Shino secretly lends Boruto a helping hand by giving their class an assignment to research different workplaces. Meanwhile, Sai, who once served in The Foundation of the ANBU Black Ops, makes a big discovery while investigating the same incident under orders from the Hokate.
During a tour of workplaces for their school assignment, Sumire, Wasabi Izuno and Namida Suzumeno get wrapped up in the Ghost Incident and are hurt. Boruto feels bad that he wasn't there to prevent their harm, and becomes more determined to solve the case. With the help of Tayori Kuroyagi the postal worker, along with Shikadai and Mitsuki, the team scans the village more closely. Then Shikadai and Mitsuki realize one possibility from something Boruto says casually.
The Ghost incidents suddenly come to an end and Boruto and his classmates are puzzled, but Mitsuki seems to know something they don't. Mitsuki himself realizes he's been undergoing some puzzling changes and questions his classmates in order to figure out his predicament. Soon after, a mysterious chakra begins to spread throughout the village.
After Mitsuki reveals more information about the Ghost incidents, Boruto is determined to find and stop the culprit! Meanwhile, Seventh Hokage Naruto and his top advisors are shocked to learn who the perpetrator is from the results of Sai's investigation. Just then, Nue—an enormous otherworldly beast—appears! The imminent danger to the village forces the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi, out of retirement!
The late Danzo Shimura was the founder and leader of the Foundation, an elite branch of the ANBU Black Ops. The recent incidents have been masterminded by someone who had sworn to carry on Danzo's wishes. Boruto is able to enter another world with his strange "eye." The perpetrator wields the Gozu Tennou, a weapon that relies on the power of the beast Nue, and is set on destroying the village. Boruto desperately tries to dissuade them, but can Boruto's thoughts unleash a curse from the past?!
The ghost incident that threatened the Hidden Leaf Village is over, and now Boruto is unable to awaken the mysterious power he used. Things return to normal in the village and the Academy, but one thing still troubles Boruto and his classmates...
Exam day is fast approaching, and everyone at the Academy begins preparing for them. Repeating a grade is a possibility if you fail a test. Denki, who lacks skills in ninjutsu, is having a hard time using chakra to climb walls. And as usual, Iwabe can't wrap his head around what he's studying. Boruto and the others try to help them train and study, but end up making things more confusing for the two. Will Denki and Iwabe avoid being held back?
Sarada agrees to return a teddy bear to a young patient at the hospital, but she forgets it on the train and goes into a panic. Despite having dismissed Boruto and the boys for sitting on the roof of the train, Sarada does exactly that in her desperate search for the toy. Cho-Cho happens to see Sarada and takes her to the station’s lost and found. Sarada retrieves her package and all is well, until…
The Uzumaki household is thrown into chaos when Himawari, Boruto's younger sister, catches a cold. Naruto rarely comes home since he became Hokage, and Boruto's anger toward him grows especially because his sister is so sick.
Boruto pulls a prank and is pursued around the village by Naruto. Seeing this, Sarada can't help but be exasperated, but a part of her grows wistful as she thinks of her father, Sasuke, whom she hasn't seen since she was a baby. She begins to feel doubt after she sees a photo of Sasuke with a young woman wearing glasses. Sarada becomes determined to learn the truth. Will the secret of Sarada Uchiha's birth be revealed?!
Sasuke sends a message to Naruto about a man possessing the Sharingan. Upon receiving the intel, Naruto rushes to meet with Sasuke. Meanwhile, Sarada, who has doubts about who her real mother is, joins Cho-Cho, who is about to set out on a journey to find her “real parents.” Upon learning that Naruto is on his way to meet Sasuke, they go after him. But danger looms when they come under attack.
Sarada arrives at the tower where her father is, only to be hurt by Sasuke's surprising words and actions. Naruto and Cho-Cho can hardly bear to watch the awkward exchange between father and daughter, and try to think of something to help. But the party is attacked by a father-son duo who call themselves "Shin Uchiha," and who possess the Sharingan! Meanwhile, Sakura learns that Sarada has gone to meet her father.
Sarada is in shock after Sakura is captured by Shin's jutsu. Even Naruto, with his exceptional tracking skills, is unable to locate her. Then Sasuke discovers countless Sharingan embedded in Shin's arm. Following clues gleaned from Shin's arm, they come upon the laboratory of the heinous Hidden Leaf criminal, Orochimaru, who has been conducting research on Forbidden Jutsu. There, Sarada meets her father's former partners Suigetsu Hozuki and Jugo. She then asks Suigetsu to look into who her real mother is.
Determined to rescue Sakura, Sarada pursues Shin with Sasuke, Naruto, and Cho-Cho. After brutal battles with Shin's clones along the way, Sarada is surprised to see the bond of trust between Sasuke and Sakura, who haven’t seen each other in years. But suddenly, Shin orders his children to kill the intruders. Since her parents share a bond of trust and love, will Sarada's journey to learn the secret of her birth reach a conclusion?
The Hidden Leaf Village is filled with excitement upon the arrival of the Kage for the Five Kage Summit. Boruto knows that security is tighter than usual, but he still plans on pulling a big prank. Meanwhile, Sarada has found a new goal, to become the Hokage, and trains hard. Behind closed doors, the Five Kage discuss highly classified intel that Sasuke has obtained involving Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Boruto and his classmates head to the Village Hidden in the Mist in the Land of Water for a field trip. Kagura Karatachi is chosen as the village guide. About the same age as Boruto, Kagura is already an accomplished shinobi and serves as an aide to the Mizukage, Chojuro. Once known as the Blood Mist Village, it's now more modern and bustling than anyone could have imagined. However, dissatisfaction exists among some Hidden Mist Shinobi.
Boruto and his classmates are invited to tour the Hidden Mist Academy under Kagura and Chojuro's escort. The Hidden Mist emphasizes swordsmanship, and Boruto is awed by their intense training sessions. Chojuro sees Boruto's interest and arranges a sparring match with Kagura, who seems hesitant. Kagura is extremely skilled and has been asked by Chojuro to become the successor to his Great Twin Sword, Hiramekarei, but he has declined.
Tsurushi Hachiya, Kagura's former classmate at the Academy, finds Boruto and his friends from the Leaf irritating, so he kidnaps Denki. Kagura and Boruto set out to rescue him, and they find themselves in a battle against Hachiya and his crew. During the fight, the truth that Kagura has been hiding is revealed!
Kagura makes up his mind to accept the famed sword Hiramekarei from Chojuro, but unwittingly becomes part of a plot set up by Kagura’s old acquaintance, Shizuma Hoshigaki, a man who opposes the new, peaceful shinobi order.
Kagura unlocks the storeroom to let Shizuma take the Mist Blades. The New Seven Ninja Swordsmen begin an insurrection, the end goal being to turn their village back into the Blood Mist Village! News of the rebellion reaches Chojuro and Mei, the current and previous Mizukage. They are determined to execute the perpetrators, along with Kagura, who aided them. In order to change Chojuro's mind, Boruto makes an astonishing announcement.
Chojuro leads Boruto and Sarada to the location where Shizuma and his "New Seven Shinobi Swordsmen" are based. Shizuma uses his jutsu to create a fog that clouds the trio's vision, and they end up getting separated. Sarada is forced into one-on-one combat with a kunoichi, Buntan Kurosuki, who wields the Lightning Blade, Kiba the Fang! In the thick fog, Sarada uses her Sharingan, but her enemy is stronger than expected. Driven into a corner, she comes up with a counterattack. Meanwhile, Boruto goes up against none other than Kagura.
Boruto urges his friend Kagura to return with him, but Kagura rejects him and begins to attack. Although Boruto is desperate to save him, Kagura once again falls under a spell and is unable to defy Shizuma. Then someone steps in between the two as they battle. It's Mitsuki, and he has obtained intel about the rebellion. Just what is the intel, and can Boruto save his friend?
The field trip comes to an end, and Boruto and his friends prepare to return to Hidden Leaf. Chojuro, the Mizukage, sees them off, but Kagura is nowhere to be seen. The class makes it back to the Leaf Village safely and Boruto is relieved to be home. But Himawari isn't her usual cheerful self. She's been looking forward to the souvenir that Boruto promised her, which he completely forgot to get! Boruto decides to tell the truth and beg for Himawari's forgiveness, but he misses his chance, and things gets worse!
Inojin has loved to draw since he was small, and his ninjutsu speciality is the Super Beast Scroll. But one day, he suddenly loses his ability to use his jutsu! Puzzled, he talks to his father, Sai, who uses the same jutsu. Even though Sai is sympathetic, he doesn't give Inojin a way to overcome his slump. Instead he suggests that his son enter into a children's art contest, which Inojin halfheartedly does.
Boruto and his classmates decide to go camping to try to catch the mysterious fish, the Eternal Carp, said to be unforgettably delicious. With graduation coming up this could be the last time the class does something together, so Boruto figures this is the perfect opportunity to catch one, but the fish proves to be very elusive.
Prior to the graduation exams, it's decided that the students will take part in a three-person interview to discuss their future plans. Boruto, who has passed his ninjutsu courses with flying colors, realizes his path toward becoming a "ninja" has been trouble-free and easy. As the students prepare for their finals, Boruto meets a journalist named Sukea who is doing a story on them. Something about Boruto's indifferent attitude about his future as a ninja raises a red flag in Sukea, and he gives Boruto a warning.
It is time for the graduation exams. Boruto and the others complete the first-round written exam and move on to the next. The second round has the students facing off against Kakashi—the previous Sixth Hokage—and the academy instructors in actual combat situations. With the goal to "steal the bell" from Kakashi, every student rushes into action. However, the going is rough against Kakashi and the teachers who guard him. Somehow, Boruto reaches Kakashi first, but the Sixth Hokage shows no mercy. After a tough fight, he coldly tells Boruto that he's not suited to become a ninja!
Boruto's the first to confront Kakashi in the exam. Despite a determined effort, he is immobilized and angered by Kakashi's severe criticism of his class. Shortly after, Boruto's classmates come by to assist and Boruto makes his escape. Although depressed by his own shortcomings, Boruto is able to overcome them and formulate a strategy, thanks to the encouragement of his friends.
Boruto and his classmates take their first step as genin and start forming their basic shinobi three-man squads. The members are matched according to their ability and compatibility. Boruto was counting on teaming up with Shikadai, but is disappointed when he opts to be part of the "Ino-Shika-Cho" trio, like his dad. Boruto finds himself teamed up with Sarada and Mitsuki. Since he and Sarada have issues with this matchup, they file a direct appeal to the Hokage to overturn this decision.
Originally from the Village Hidden in the Sound, Mitsuki has made up his mind to become a Hidden Leaf Shinobi. In the past, having lost his memory, Mitsuki finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings, unsure of his identity and motive. Mitsuki faces a difficult decision, but his thoughts and feelings that had once been shrouded in mystery, now come to light
Team 7 sets out on their first mission. Their client is a village who has been plagued by bandits, and their mission is to eradicate them. They meet Kiri, a young girl who has just been installed as the village head after her father's sudden death. The team soon realizes that this mission is far more dangerous and complicated than first expected.
Team 7's original mission evolves into a rescue operation after Kiri is kidnapped. The team must face a formidable genjutsu user as well as a skilled sword user. Following Konohamaru's orders, the team successfully rescues Kiri. But Konohamaru is captured and the trio must battle the enemy alone while protecting Kiri.
Boruto is dissatisfied with the team's easy and lackluster missions since its first one. Team 7 is assigned to capture a suspect who has barricaded himself inside a bank. Excited to show off his skills again, Boruto and the team rush to the site. But the suspect turns out to be a timid individual who was recently fired. A possibility soon arises that a certain organization could be involved!
An incident occurs in Hidden Leaf Village and the Byakuya Gang is suspected. The gang steals from the rich to give to the poor, and they've been active recently in several villages. Boruto disapproves of them, because he believes stealing is stealing no matter how noble the reason.
The Byakuya Gang's activities become more brazen in the Hidden Leaf. While some people view them as heroic, noble thieves, Boruto can't get himself to approve of their actions. The genin are told to work together to capture the gang, and security in the village is increased. During this time, Shikadai meets a youth named Ryugi. Despite their age difference, a bond grows between them.
Shikadai and Ryogi became friends playing shogi, but lately Ryogi hasn't been coming to their usual meeting place. Shikadai's became worried about his friend's behavior the last time they met, but he's kept his concerns to himself. Ryogi is also worried about Shikadai, but is tormented by memories he can't forget.
The protest instigated by the Byakuya Gang against the Kaminarimon Company increases in intensity. The Leaf Shinobi, including the genin, are mobilized into action. The teams are assigned sections to keep watch over the protesters, and Team 10, made up of Shikadai, Inojin and Cho-Cho, takes up its position. But Shikadai notices something as he studies the position chart and rushes out on his own!
During the protests, the Byakuya Gang attacks Katasuke's research center, which has been developing new technology for Scientific Ninja Tools. Shikadai figures out what the Byakuya Gang's goal is and rushes after them in pursuit with Boruto close by. Even a weak "pawn" can become strong in one move—what are the two friends who bonded through shogi seeking?
Udon Ise the jonin captain of Team 5, issues a direct order from the Hokage to Iwabe, Denki and Metal, which states: "In order to attract more students to the Ninjutsu Department of the Academy, you will appear in a PR video documentary." During the Byakuya Gang incident, the three were under suspension, and could only watch as their genin classmates leapt into action. The trio decide to do their best in the documentary in order to prove their prowess, but Udon seems skeptical...
Boruto's aunt, Hanabi Hyuga, leads an all-girl team made up of Sumire, Wasabi and Namida. They are given a mission to recover animals that someone has released from their cages at the zoo. The team sets out, but Wasabi and Namida start arguing en route, and Sumire is unable to stop them.
The Chunin Exam assembles exceptional genin from each village and pits them against each other in order to assess their abilities. Childhood friends and teammates Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi contemplate whether the genin under their guidance will be able to handle the severity of the Chunin Exam.
Boruto overhears remarks being made about his father and him, adding to the hurt because Naruto has broken his promise to be home for Boruto's birthday. Shortly after, Team 7 is given a mission to capture a gang of thieves targeting the Thunder Train, who are hiding out in a town near the Land of Fire's border. But when Team 7 arrives at the town, they find something is not quite right with one of the captured thieves.
Team 7 enters the mine where the thieves had been hiding out, only to be attacked by a powerful, strange-looking White Zetsu. They find out the mine connects to a ruin belonging to Kaguya Otsutsuki. Team 7 decides to investigate and engage the White Zetsu. As they proceed deeper and deeper into the mine, they make a shocking discovery!
The Chunin Exams are fast approaching and everyone’s excited—except for Boruto, which causes everyone grief. During this time, Boruto and his family have a rare chance to be together to celebrate Himawari's birthday, and for once it seems his father has kept his promise...
Unable to contain his anger towards his father for ruining Himawari’s birthday as well as his own, Boruto rushes out to confront Naruto. He runs into Sasuke and unknowingly attacks him but is instantly subdued. Amazed at Sasuke’s strength, Boruto asks him to be his teacher. Sasuke agrees to the request but only after Boruto is able to use the Rasengan. In order to win Sasuke's approval, Boruto trains unusually hard.
Boruto manages to perfect his Rasengan and begins training under Sasuke. He’s an extremely strict teacher because Boruto’s unfocused and only thinks about surpassing his father, and keeps looking for the easy way out when training gets tough. Iwabe, Sumire and the others also decide to take the Chunin Exam and turn in their applications. Hoping to show off his skills to Naruto, Boruto decides to apply as well. Meanwhile, the Otsutsuki Clan set their sights on Killer Bee!
The Chunin Exams are about to begin and genin from the other villages arrive in droves. The Hidden Sand's hopefuls include the Kazekage's adopted son Shinki, and his team mates Yodo and Araya. The Hidden Mists send the Senka triplets, the Hidden Cloud sends Yurui, Iroi, and Tarui. And finally, the Hidden Rock send the Genbu Three. As formidable rivals arrive on the scene, tensions run high as every participant sizes each other up, and prepare for the first round of the Chunin Exams!
Round two of the Chunin Exams begins. For the second test, three-man teams must try to capture their rival team’s flags. Sarada and Mitsuki set out for enemy territory while Boruto stays behind to guard their flag. The Senka Triplets from the Hidden Mist attack, and Boruto finds himself in trouble. Boruto considers using the Scientific Ninja Tool that Katasuke gave him, but it's prohibited to do so during the exam
The third round of the exams begins, consisting of individual battles held tournament style. Boruto’s first match is against Yurui of the Hidden Cloud, and Shikadai is matched up against Yodo of the Hidden Sand. Sarada and Mitsuki are up against Tarui and Toroi of the Hidden Cloud, while Inojin and Cho-Cho pull Araya and Shinki of the Hidden Sand, respectively. After honing their skills in jutsu and strategy, the intense battles between the young shinobi begin!
The match between Cho-Cho and Shinki of the Hidden Sand begins. Confronted by a foe who is unbelievably calm and menacing, Cho-Cho assumes a seriousness that she rarely reveals as her teammates watch and cheer her on. Boruto and Shikadai's match is next, and the moment nears when the two friends will face off against each other for the first time!
The tournament nears its finale, as the matches of Sarada vs. Araya of the Hidden Sand and Mitsuki vs. Shinki of the Hidden San begin! Sarada uses her shuriken and Sharingan skills to attack Araya relentlessly, but he counters her with total ease. Her genjutsu has no effect and she is backed into a corner. In Mitsuki and Shinki's match, the evenly matched duo puts on a show of skills.
The final battle of the tournament begins with Boruto, Sarada and Shinki participating in a battle royale. As the lone representative remaining from the Hidden Sand, Shinki is determined to preserve the pride of the Sand, and goes on the offensive against Boruto and Sarada. Boruto and Sarada team up to fight Shinki, but he puts up an impenetrable defense. Sarada falls, and Boruto's chakra is nearly exhausted, but he refuses to give up!
Momoshiki, Kinshiki and Urashiki of the Otsutsuki Clan suddenly appear in the arena filled with spectators. Using his Scientific Ninja Tool, Boruto hurls jutsu after jutsu to no avail against Momoshiki, who is targeting Naruto. Meanwhile, Urashiki is curious about Mitsuki's strange power and goes after him, but he is confronted by Gaara along with the Mizukage Chojuro. Naruto and the other ninja do all they can to protect the citizens, and for the first time, Boruto witnesses the magnitude of his father's power in real combat.
Naruto uses all his power to protect everyone from the Otsutsuki Clan. Boruto realizes the magnitude of his father's love for the village and its people and, at the same time, his own weakness. Watching his friends working on repairs and aiding the wounded in the aftermath of the attack, Boruto realizes the meaning of his father's words. Knowing that this experience has matured his student a little, Sasuke brings up a certain mission.
Sasuke and the Kage wage an intense battle against the ridiculously powerful Momoshiki and Kinshiki of the Otsutsuki Clan. During that time, Boruto and Naruto, who have always been at odds, face each other and connect for the first time. But Momoshiki interrupts their reunion.
Naruto and Sasuke fight against Momoshiki Otsutsuki. Momoshiki gets defeated, but he's helped by Katasuke and his Scientific Ninja Tool. In the end, Boruto puts an end to Momoshiki's life. While dying, Momoshiki talks to Boruto and gives him the Karma Seal.
Boruto has made his rounds apologizing to everyone for his transgressions during the exam, but Momoshiki's prophecy continues to bother him.
Popular actors Tomaru and Ashina receive death threats from an unknown person, so Team 10 is assigned to a joint mission with Team 7 to guard them. The two teams assemble to get the details of their mission, but Boruto sees a beautiful girl he doesn't remember seeing before…
The movie studio where Team 7 and Team 10 have been assigned to is attacked by a mysterious ninja. The lead actress is wounded and Tomaru, the lead actor, picks Cho-Cho to be the stand-in! Tomaru's flirting has Cho-Cho on Cloud 9, but Sarada and the others worry that the lovestruck Cho-Cho has lost her focus on the mission!
The ninja in the gas mask appears again during filming and kidnaps Tomaru. Despite everything that happened, Cho-Cho continues to worry about Tomaru and berates Konohamaru and Moeri for failing to stop the abductor. Meanwhile, Ashina agrees to deliver the money as instructed in the ransom note.
Metal's father, Rock Lee, announces that he will train Metal to master the ultimate taijutsu technique, the Eight Inner Gates. The thought that he cannot fail this training fills Metal with anxiety, and he ends up buying an item that's supposed to calm his nerves. But it doesn't work, and his father ends up postponing the training. He then runs into Might Guy, his father's mentor and a hero of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
The first Five Kage Summit since the attack by the Otsutsuki Clan is held in Hidden Leaf. The current Kage as well as their predecessors assemble, except the Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki. Boruto and Team 7 have been assigned security duty, but Boruto gets bored and lets his guard down. Then by chance, they encounter Ohnoki.
The ninja assigned to the Hidden Leaf Gate are attacked, and Mitsuki disappears. Boruto and Sarada are unaware of this when their scheduled mission is suddenly canceled. Worried, the two start searching for their teammate. When they learn that all the jonin have been summoned by the Hokage, they set out to find out what's going on.
Boruto and Sarada sneak out of the village and head to Orochimaru's research lab to find clues about Mitsuki. After evading the ninja guarding the entrance, they get in. But what they observe at the facility and hear from Orochimaru makes Boruto realize that he never truly knew Mitsuki. Meanwhile, the village finds out that Boruto and Sarada have gone in search of Mitsuki, and Shikadai and his Team 10 are assigned a tracking mission to bring back them back.
Orochimaru tells Boruto and Sakura about the White Snake Sage who lives in Ryuchi Cave. On their way there, the two are confronted by Team 10, which is determined to take the two back to the village so that they are not labeled as "rogue" ninja. But there's no way Boruto or Sarada will oblige until they find out the truth from Mitsuki, so they are forced into confrontation using everything they've got!
Boruto and friends head for Ryuchi Cave in order to see the White Snake Sage. But it's not a simple task, since they have no clue where it is. They search for miles, becoming hungry and tired. They are near their limit when Ryuchi Cave suddenly appears before them along with mysterious women to guide them. They are told they must pass a series of tests in order to meet the White Snake Sage!
The White Snake Sage tells Boruto to bring back the "Reverse Scale" from Garaga, a troublesome snake. Boruto and his friends head deeper into Ryuchi Cave and are confronted by a giant serpent. It is Garaga, the very one they seek, but its sheer power has the gang backed into a corner. Meanwhile, Moegi reports that Mitsuki's disappearance might involve someone who has access to crucial village secrets.
Boruto and the others work together to obtain the Reverse Scale from Garaga. But the battle proves difficult, as Garaga has the power to sense the location of its enemies and turn them into stone. In the midst of battle, the team notices inconsistencies in Garaga's moves and comes up with a successful strategy to subdue him. Boruto is seized with a strange feeling and makes Garaga a proposition.
Mitsuki heads toward Kokuyou and Sekiei's homeland, the Land of Earth. Meanwhile, thanks to the power of the White Snake Sage, Boruto and the others learn that Mitsuki is with Hidden Stone Ninja, and they also head for the Land of Earth. Each side has their own agenda, but will they be able to meet up successfully?
Kokuyou confronts Boruto and the others. Kokuyou, whose only goal is to become strong, is so powerful that he's taken down the Leaf ninja pursuing Mitsuki. He easily drives Boruto and his team into a corner. Just then, backup appears. Boruto and his friends manage to overcome Kokuyou, and finally catch with up Mitsuki.
Instead of returning home with Boruto, Mitsuki stays with Kokuyou. During this time, Sekiei becomes sick and declines. To recover, Kokuyou returns to his comrades. During his absence, Sekiei asks Mitsuki to teach him what it means to be human. Meanwhile, the Fourth Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi, who had been visiting Ohnoki, her ailing grandfather, is attacked by mysterious assailants.
Boruto is injured, unconscious and unable to continue. Everyone thinks about returning to the Hidden Leaf. However, being close to the Land of Earth, a surprise attack is highly possible. As a precaution, Inojin and Cho-Cho set out on recon of the surrounding area.
Boruto and his friends decide to go the Hidden Stone Village to see the former Tsuchikage, Ohnoki. In case of an emergency, Inojin stays back with the young Akuta, who is attached to him. The team secretly enters the village determined to find Ohnoki, but they are unaware that they are being watched.
The team finds Ohnoki, but he flatly refuses to help. On top of which, they are attacked and separated. This leaves it up to each member to make it to the rendezvous point on their own. Meanwhile, Mitsuki is being shown around Kokuyou’s hideout.
Boruto and Ohnoki head to the rendezvous point, but they stumble into the Hidden Stone Shinobi Training Grounds, which are protected by a barrier. Ohnoki tells Boruto that the only way out of the Training Grounds is to find his heart of stone, something that can only be found once in a lifetime when a person comes to terms with their will.
In order to get out of the barrier, Boruto desperately searches for his heart of stone, but he has little success. Then he encounters Sekki, one of the Genbu Three that participated in the recent Chunin Exams. Sekki has also come to the training ground in order to find his heart of stone. Seeing their predicament, Ohnoki tries to help them.
Ohnoki takes Boruto to a special location to explain his vision of the future, formed after losing his grandchild, Kozuchi. Meanwhile, time is running out for Ku and his supporters. They rush to set their plan in motion—using force to subdue any who dissent, they attempt to take over the Hidden Stone Village.

Kawaki has lost an arm in the battle against Delta, so he is given the prosthetic arm made for Naruto. Though the prosthetic can't move without Naruto's chakra, Naruto shares some of his chakra with Kawaki. Kawaki is surprised by this gesture and remembers how Naruto said that chakra is the power to form bonds with one another. He asks Naruto to train him in Ninjutsu. Meanwhile, Delta informs Jigen that Boruto also has a Karma on his palm. Upon hearing this, Jigen smiles…
As Naruto sleeps, Kawaki repairs the vase he broke. Suddenly, Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Beast, appears before him. Kurama has been living with Naruto since he was sealed within him and tells Kawaki that Naruto used to be just like him. Upon hearing about Naruto's life, Kawaki aspires to become just like him. He reaffirms his decision to work with Boruto, who is also branded with a Karma, to defeat Jigen and the Kara.
Using the Transportation Technique, Sasuke arrives at a strange location that is covered with mysterious inscriptions. There he finds many surprising things about the Otsutsuki Clan. Meanwhile, Boro, one of the leaders of the Kara, has been using his mysterious powers publicly to heal the sick. He tells the people who have gathered that he has a way for everyone to achieve happiness.
Kawaki's Karma starts to act up and Jigen, the leader of the Kara, appears before him! Not only are Naruto and Kawaki surprised, but so is Koji Kashin, who had been secretly keeping an eye on Kawaki. Jigen tries to take back Kawaki by force. Upon seeing this, Naruto battles Jigen to protect Kawaki! A direct confrontation between Naruto, the Seventh Hokage, and Jigen, the leader of the Kara, finally begins!
Naruto has been pulled into a different dimension by Jigen. There he encounters Sasuke, who tells him that Jigen is a dangerous person and that they must do whatever it takes to defeat him immediately. Naruto and Sasuke work together to defeat Jigen in a fierce battle, but they struggle against Jigen's advanced fighting abilities and mysterious jutsu. Meanwhile, Boruto gets a bad premonition when his Karma starts acting up, and so he quickly returns home with Mitsuki. Kawaki and Sarada are there, worried about Naruto's safety.
Boruto, Kawaki and the others sense something has happened to Naruto. But before anyone can act, Shikamaru and his subordinates arrive and erect a barrier around the Uzumaki home to contain Kawaki, believing he can't be trusted.
Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki, and Kawaki arrive at the dimension that Naruto is trapped in, but Boro is there waiting for them. The four create a team with Sarada leading them to fight Boro, who uses a black mist to paralyze his enemies.
The reformed Team 7 launches a series of attacks on Boro. But even when they land successful attacks, Boro instantly revives himself with his extraordinary regeneration powers.
Boro goes on a rampage and attempts to eliminate Boruto and the others. Boruto is beat down and falls unconscious. Then suddenly, his Karma activates and he becomes possessed by Momoshiki's spirit.
Kawaki begins to worry that his presence is endangering everyone in the Leaf Village. Just as he makes the decision to leave, he notices Himawari acting strange.
Konohamaru and Sai are given a mission to infiltrate Boro's cult in order to obtain information on Kara and its whereabouts.
News has spread throughout the Leaf Village that a cloaked man has stolen data from the archives. Team 10 decides to launch their own investigation to find and catch the thief.
Amado defects from Kara. Desiring to seek asylum in the Leaf Village, he takes Shikadai hostage. If granted asylum, Amado promises to provide the Leaf Village with every bit of knowledge that he has about Kara.
Amado reveals to Naruto and the others the knowledge that he possesses regarding Jigen, the Otsutsuki Clan, and Karma. Meanwhile, Koji Kashin confronts Jigen, and Amado's plan to eliminate him is revealed.
Koji Kashin continues his battle with Jigen, whose body is revealed to have been taken over by Isshiki Otsutsuki. He continuously hits Jigen with a barrage of attacks in an attempt to drag Isshiki out of his body and destroy him.
Isshiki regains his true form and goes to the Leaf Village to recapture Kawaki. The Leaf shinobi prepare for his arrival. Boruto is willing to fight, but he becomes frightened at the possibility of losing control of his Karma again.
Boruto opens a portal and transports Isshiki and himself to another dimension. Naruto and Sasuke follow them, and the final battle against Isshiki begins.
Naruto and Sasuke are greatly overwhelmed by Isshiki's abilities. As a last resort, Kurama offers Naruto a chakra mode called Baryon Mode, which grants him immense power. The intensity of this power, however, could end his life.
Naruto and the others are exhausted from their battle with Isshiki. Suddenly, Boruto attacks Sasuke. Momoshiki has taken control of Boruto’s consciousness and stands before them as an enemy. Kawaki desperately calls out to Boruto to snap him out of it. Unfortunately, his words are unable to reach him. Sasuke tells Kawaki a way to bring back Boruto’s consciousness. In order to save Boruto, Kawaki attempts a risky plan using a jutsu he only recently learned. While Kawaki and Sasuke fight a desperate battle, Naruto finally runs out of strength. As his consciousness fades, he and Kurama quietly reminisce about their past.
Finished with their battle against Isshiki, Boruto and the others return to the village. Thanks to their work, the safety of the village has been maintained. Boruto is terrified by the fact that Momoshiki once again took over his consciousness during battle. Meanwhile, Amado provides some new information concerning Code, whose powers surpass Jigen. As that happens, something appears before Code, who has been keeping watch over the immature Ten-Tailed Beast in Kara’s possession!
Those with a Karma gradually lose control of their minds and bodies as they undergo Otsutsukification. Naruto convenes a Five Kage Summit to discuss what they should do about Boruto’s condition, as well as Code, one of the leaders of Kara.
Naruto, proposes that the Chunin Exam be held to raise morale after Isshiki’s attack. Everyone is fired up for the exam, eager to show off the results of their training and experience they’ve gained from missions.
The final round of the Chunin Exam is announced. Many of Boruto’s classmates who didn’t advance to the final round of the last exam have made it this time. Also, the rules of the exam have changed: the use of Scientific Ninja Tools of your own creation is now allowed!
The final exam has finally begun. The first match of the individual competition in the form of a real match is the VS Houki. The twenty-fifth team of Houki and, unusually among their peers, has been involved in the mission of the "Anbu" until now. So, while we don't know what he's up to, Inojin uses his signature technique "Choju Giga" from the very beginning to hunt down Houki. However, as Houki was waiting for a chance, he suddenly lost sight of his opponent's location and the game was reversed. Who will win ......? In this game, you'll have the chance to take the final exam, but you'll have to be careful not to get caught.
The final test, this time it's Iwabe vs Wasabi. The two have a strong competitive spirit and usually clash with each other, but for some reason Iwabae is bewildered by Wasabi's unusual lack of energy. Wasabi, in fact, is feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of representing the hitherto unproven Izuno clan. Iwabeye is angry at Wasabi for setting her own limits on her ability and giving up. ......? Who will be the victor in this match?
The match between Sarada and Cho-Cho begins. Kawaki has been invited by Naruto to observe, as well as Shinki and others who have come from the Hidden Sand Village. Who will emerge victorious in a battle between best friends?!
One after another, the winners of the finals are being decided. Only a few matches remain, but Boruto and Mitsuki still have not appeared at the venue. Sarada worries that at this rate, the duo will be disqualified. Meanwhile, the next match is between Denki and Tsubaki.
Team 7, with Sarada as captain, are assigned a mission. Mirai, who was on a mission with Konohamaru, returns to the village critically injured. The mission was supposed to be simple, but Mirai reports that the situation has changed drastically. It’s decided that reinforcements will be sent and Team 7 volunteers to go.
In order for Kawaki to become a genin, it’s decided that he can take a special test that differs from the one held at the Ninja Academy. A D-rank mission is deemed to be equivalent, so Kawaki is assigned as an additional member. However, he is difficult to work with, ignores the need for teamwork, and acts on his own—giving his teammates a hard time while disrupting the mission!
Kawaki starts to believe that being a genin is not for him. The Seventh Hokage gives him a last shot and assigns him to join Shikadai and Cho-Cho on a mission to protect Mozuku, from the Land of Calm Seas, and escort him back to his homeland. Will Kawaki be able to cooperate with his comrades and fulfill the mission this time? Meanwhile, Team 7 is on another mission and they pass a group who seem to be ninja in disguise…
Cho-Cho is injured in an attack by a mysterious ninja and the item that Mozuku had been holding is stolen. Captain Shikadai realizes that this was no ordinary guard mission, but one that makes them the targets of other ninja. He immediately decides to turn back toward home. But Kawaki feels for Mozuku, who was entrusted with the item that would save his people, so he ignores Shikadai's orders and pursues the ninja along with Mozuku. All alone, Kawaki faces a powerful enemy who uses a strange jutsu. Will he be able to protect Mozuku and safely return him to the Land of Calm Seas?
Traveling merchants have been attacked by vicious robbers. Wasabi, Namida, and Tsubaki of Team 15 are sent to the site of the incident to investigate. Tsubaki finds a clue that seems to point to samurai from her homeland, the Land of Iron. Furthermore, the clue belongs to a certain person that makes Tsubaki tremble in fear. That person is someone that she respected long ago, a fellow apprentice with whom she trained and honed her swordsmanship with—someone with whom Tsubaki shares a certain fate!
With Denki as captain, Team 5 is assigned to a mission to transport automated puppets for mining purposes to an island in the Land of Water, to test and operate them, to gather data, and to analyze the results. However, lacking physical strength, Denki isn't very useful and ends up being ridiculed. Will Denki be able to restore his reputation as a ninja and successfully complete his first mission as captain?
The new Team 7—with Kawaki its newest member—is assigned to escort Katasuke to a ceremony in the Land of Water. Boruto is looking forward to seeing Kagura Karatachi, a shinobi from the Land of Mist whom he hasn't seen since their Academy field trip to the Land of Water. However, in the shadows of the ceremony, a group harboring a grudge stealthily begins to make its move.
Boruto is visiting the prison when an airship explodes during the ceremony. Just as he is about to rush to the scene, the facility is attacked, so he stays to help Kagura fight off the assailants. Will they be able to stop the attempted prison break of the leader of a gang of pirates?
The Land of Water is taken over by pirates, and contact with Denki's Team 5 is lost. The new Team 7 joins up with a unit led by Kagura and sets out for Dotou Island to assist Team 5 and rescue the islanders. However, the unit is made up of Buntan, Hebiichigo, and Kyoho, who in the past had called themselves the “New Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.” Sarada and Mitsuki go ashore to scout the island while Boruto and the others stay back and watch the situation nearby.
While on the lookout near Dotou Island, a giant mobile fortress appears before Boruto and his friends. Kagura orders Boruto, Kawaki, and Buntan to sneak into the fortress to gather information. Sarada and Mitsuki are able to join up with Denki and the other members of Team 5, and together they begin their plan to save the people of the island.
As Sarada and the others hurry to evacuate the people of the island, Boruto grows anxious when he learns they are being threatened by the mobile fortress, which is equipped with a powerful weapon. Kagura, Hebiichigo and Kyoho show up to assist Boruto, Kawaki and Buntan. Together, they do what they can to destroy the weapon to protect their friends, but they are obstructed by Tenma and are forced to fight him.
There is a murder aboard the ship carrying the people rescued from Dotou Island, and Kyoho is the primary suspect based on the evidence. Despite his claims of innocence, there is no proof to back him up. Despite that, Kagura chooses to believe Kyoho. He places Boruto and Iwabe in charge of watching Kyoho while everyone else splits up into teams to search for any clues that may point to another culprit.
The ship carrying Boruto, his friends, and the people of Dotou Island is dead in the water. A shipbuilder Kajiki and his apprentice Ikada happen to pass by and offer to repair the ship at an island of shipbuilders where they live. Upon arriving on the island, Boruto and his friends try to do whatever they can to help while waiting for their ship to be repaired. Meanwhile, in the seas near the Land of Water, a clash between the pirates of the Funato Clan and the Land of Water is becoming unavoidable.
Boruto joins Ikada as he sails to a factory where they can get a component needed for ship repair. He is impressed by Ikada’s excellent piloting abilities. Ikada reveals that he left home despite the protests of his family to look for work that involved ships. That was when he met Kajiki and found his dream of becoming a great ship carpenter. They spot a ship that has been in an accident, and while working together to save the passengers, Boruto sees something unbelievable.
Now that their ship has been repaired, Boruto and the others will soon be leaving the island of shipbuilders. Ikada, now friends with Boruto, promises to achieve his dream and pay him a visit. But then Ikada’s sister Seiren appears before him and tries to drag him back home. When Ikada left home, Seiren was his only ally, so he is sad to see her so unwilling to understand his feelings. Meanwhile, Buntan, Hebiichigo, and Kyoho wait for the ship to depart. They had been promised reduced sentences for their work, but they learn that they won’t be rewarded as much as they thought!
In retaliation against Boruto and his friends for destroying Tenma’s mobile fortress, the pirates land on the Isle of Shipbuilders. Funamushi, a follower of the Funato Clan, attacks Kagura, hoping to capture him alive so that he can use him as a bargaining chip. Kagura fights back using the Hiramekarei—the twin swords that the Sixth Mizukage Chojuro entrusted to him—but Funamushi is a formidable foe. Meanwhile, Seiren appears before Boruto and torments him with her persistent attacks. Can Boruto find his way out of this predicament?!
A coded message believed to have been left by Funamushi reveals that the Hidden Mist Village is in danger. Kagura tells Boruto and the others of his plan to stop the enemy at a village on the route there. Everyone hurries to the destination, and it turns out Kagura lived in this village when he was little and has many fond memories of it. When Boruto and the others arrive, they try to get people to help them as they rush to prepare their plan to protect the village and the Hidden Mist!
As Boruto and the others ready their plan, they learn that one enemy unit is heading to the village ahead of the rest. Since they haven’t finished making preparations, the village will be in danger, so they hurry to evacuate everyone. Kagura worries that they won’t have enough people to fight. Just in case, he releases the curse placed on Buntan, Hebiichigo, and Kyoho, temporarily setting them free. Hesitantly, they agree to fight alongside Kagura and Boruto.
The main squad led by Funamushi is getting close to the village. Boruto and the others stand by, intending to use traps to slow down the enemy. However, the enemy sees through their plan and they are suddenly thrust into a full-scale battle. Despite being shaken, Boruto and the others fight back. Working together, they are able to handle the enemy’s overwhelming numbers. Even still, Funamushi burns with the desire for revenge and uses a powerful jutsu to corner them.
During the battle against Funamushi, Kagura is fatally injured. Boruto becomes enraged and charges at Funamushi, activating his Karma. When the Funato squad retreats, Kagura gives Boruto and the others one final request.
Despite children being present, Funamushi fights fiercely with disregard for the damage he causes. Meanwhile, Araumi is informed by his eldest son Isari that his adopted son Tenma has died in battle. With his daughter already hovering between life and death, he explodes with rage. He declares that he will be taking full command in the battles to come.
Denki and Iwabe protect the village children who accompanied them but they are captured by Funamushi and his squad. Funamushi’s squad shows up once again to attack the village. Funamushi burns with the desire to avenge Seiren as he fiercely battles Boruto and the others once more.
Boruto and his friends manage to triumph over Funamushi, but they aren’t able to savor the victory. Everyone is having a difficult time believing Denki and Iwabe are still alive days after being captured. Meanwhile, Boruto discovers a hidden side of Funamushi when he is targeted by people who looked up to the pirate, as revenge begets more revenge. Boruto has always continued to push forward until now, but this causes him to question the point of fighting.
Ikada returns home after learning that his sister has been severely injured in battle. He spends the next few days looking after her and is visited by Funamushi’s son Kobuna. Kobuna asks Ikada if he will join the fight. Ikada tells him that he is not suited for battle. Despite his feelings, his father Araumi and the other members of the Funato Clan are annoyed that he isn’t joining the fight.
Araumi is furious about the loss of family members and many of his subordinates during the battles so far. He officially declares war against the Land of Water. Upon hearing this, Mizukage decides to fight him to the bitter end. As war between the Land of Water and the pirates becomes inevitable, Boruto is confused by Ikada’s decision to fight the Land of Water. He does everything he can to prevent any more casualties, and Sarada and Mitsuki assist him in his efforts.
Sarada, Mitsuki, and Boruto decide to meet with the Mizukage. Chojuro is heading into battle against the pirates, so Boruto and his friends ask the shipbuilder Kajiki for help. Thanks to Kajiki, they manage to reach Chojuro, but when they try to reason with him to stop the battle… Meanwhile, Ikada sails the raging seas with the intent to destroy the Shinonome 1, the brand-new power plant developed by the Land of Water.
Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki go meet with Ikada, who has now sided against the Land of Water. Boruto tries talking to Ikada as a friend to get him to stop fighting. But since Boruto is responsible for what happened to his sister Seiren, Ikada refuses to listen. Even still, Boruto persistently tries to reason with him. Ikada coldly proposes a certain condition.
Boruto’s desperate attempts to reason with Ikada fail and he’s unable to change his mind. He prepares himself to give his life to stop the Land of Water and the pirates from fighting. He tells Sarada and Mitsuki that they should not seek revenge if he ends up dying. However, neither of them is able to stand idly by. Will Boruto and his friends manage to stop this cycle of revenge and restore peace to the seas?!
Boruto and the others return safely to the Leaf Village. While Naruto informs Team 7 of events that have occurred in the Hidden Mist since they left, Boruto and Kawaki get into an argument over whether or not Ikada should be punished.
Cho-Cho and Inojin end up making ramen to help a Rogue Shinobi and ramen shop owner by the name of Shingo Kumano who they met on a mission. They tell him that his ramen doesn’t taste bad, but that it’s missing something. Shingo asks them for advice to make it better. The former ninja takes advantage of his experience to develop a new menu. Will he be able to complete his ultimate recipe?!
Naruto has been asked to play himself in the popular Evil Jammer Kagemasa shinobi movie series. Konohamaru ends up playing the role in his place. Since this is his first movie appearance and the fact that he will be playing the Seventh Hokage, someone he looks up to, Konohamaru goes all out. However, he’s troubled when production doesn’t quite go as he expected. Upon hearing something from the assistant director, he proposes something to make the movie more enjoyable.
Boruto and Kawaki join Naruto, Hinata, and Himawari on a family trip to the hot springs. The five have fun playing table tennis and enjoying the food and hot spring at the inn. Kawaki had been hesitant before the trip, not wanting to intrude, but he finds himself enjoying the time with Boruto and others. When he and Boruto learn that the inn is hosting an event which promises a premium gift, they decide to sign up and participate.
Mitsuki worries when Mikazuki the cat goes missing. Mitsuki, Boruto, and Sarada are assisting with the village patrol at the request of the police department, which is having difficulty investigating a strange series of attacks. From morning until night, Mitsuki spends his days on patrol, when one day, he sees Mikazuki being cared for by another person and being called by another name!
While strolling through the village, Kakashi and Boruto come across some people arguing. Boruto sees a gloomy-faced young couple and learns they’re engaged, and that their grandfathers are feuding. For the sake of their future, Boruto wants to help them out and asks Kakashi for advice, but Kakashi is totally uninterested. However, something seems to sway Kakashi and he decides to help…
Kawaki enrolls at the Ninja Academy and begins classes as a freshman with Himawari and the others. But it’s actually a secret mission to protect a princess from assassins. This is kept a secret because she’s come from abroad to study. Since it is a personal request from Naruto, Kawaki decides to attend the academy hesitantly, where the students are younger than him. Kawaki’s difficult school life with an unreliable teacher named Hana Kaka and his unique young classmates begins!
Kawaki has a hard time getting used to school life, but he succeeds in becoming friends with Princess Kae, the object of his guard mission. Meanwhile, Kae wants to get to know her classmates and invites them all to a tea party at her mansion. Since Kawaki has his mission and cannot let Kae out of his sight, he goes along. Despite feeling out of place at the party, Kawaki does his best to fit in, but then he senses something unusual…
Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki hold a special lecture at the Academy for freshmen like Kawaki and Himawari. The teacher in charge, Hana, will also speak, but unlike Boruto and his team—who have actual mission experience and flashy jutsu like the Rasengan that appeal to the students—she can only use conservative jutsu, so she feels inadequate as a teacher and becomes depressed. A mock training activity prepared by the trio causes the class to become deeply divided, and Hana struggles to bring the class together again.
After learning about the “Seven Mysteries” at the Ninja Academy, Himawari and several of her classmates decide to go investigate at night. Kae is among the participants, so Kawaki has no choice but to go along. But he learns that Kae does not believe in the Seven Wonders and is trying to create a fake phenomenon for the students who are looking forward to the expedition. Seeing Kae’s eagerness and excitement, Kawaki decides to help her until the end, but then something mysterious and unexpected occurs.
Kawaki and Himawari participate in a training session in the forest near the academy. The class is split into three-person teams and Kawaki ends up on a different team from Kae. Anxious about losing sight of Kae, Kawaki is unable to focus and ends up burdening his assigned team. Kae is lured away by a mysterious person and disappears. Fearing that she is in danger, Kawaki and Himawari rush to find her.
Osuka Kamakura is kidnapped for ransom along with Himawari. When the ringleader finds out she’s the daughter of the Hokage, he starts thinking of ways to use her to his advantage as well. Meanwhile, Kawaki does what he can to locate Himawari and Osuka with the help of Kae and Neon Asakusa
Kawaki and Himawari’s class will be putting on a play about the Legendary Sannin for the school festival. The students rehearse wearing prop headbands, but when Eiki discovers that Kawaki brought a real headband, he tries to expose Kawaki’s true identity to drive a wedge between him and Kae. Kawaki can’t afford to let Kae find out about his mission. Will he be able to prevent this from happening?!
After what appears to be an assassination attempt on Kae, Kawaki is cautious on the day of the school festival. The festival begins and everyone enjoys themselves. But when it's time for the play, a bomb suddenly goes off at the Academy.
The Academy students are at the hospital to visit Hana, who struggles to remember the day of the attack. At the Hokage's palace, Kawaki is relieved of his mission for not reporting the presence of the assassin in time.
Hana, who has recovered from her injuries, and Kawaki, who is back guarding Kae, return to class. Life at the Academy gradually goes back to normal. Meanwhile, Hana learns that about the attempt made on Kae’s life and regrets her inability to prevent it. She returns to the scene of the incident to recount what occurred.
Kawaki and Himawari’s class goes on a field trip to an uninhabited island in order to create new memories with Kae. Because of its distance from the village, there are all sorts of rumors about the island, and bizarre incidents occur, like the disappearance of the food they brought. The field trip suddenly starts to feel unsettling, but under Hana Sensei’s direction, the students try to work together to overcome these difficulties. Meanwhile, Kawaki suspects the assassin targeting Kae might be lurking nearby, so he steps up his watch.
The assassin targeting Kae has finally been revealed. Because of their previous clashes, Kawaki knows they are a powerful foe. He decides to chase after the assassin by himself to prevent putting any more students in danger. But Kawaki finds it difficult to do that without knowing where the assassin is; what’s more, his classmates desire to work together to chase down the assassin and save Kae. And so, the entire class begins their pursuit!
Kae has been taken away and Kawaki must face a dangerous assassin. Himawari acts as his partner and provides support during the battle. They try to corner the enemy with coordinated attacks, but the enemy proves to be powerful. Meanwhile, their classmates, who had entrusted Kawaki and Himawari to directly confront the assassin, take action in a desire to try to help. Will Kawaki be able to save his precious friends and accomplish his mission?
Boruto accompanies Sasuke to a hawk trainer to obtain a messenger hawk. There, Boruto and Sasuke hear about a person who sells rare animals and decide to investigate. Boruto then befriends a boy named Tsuzura Shitakiri. Because of his mother, Tsuzura doesn’t go to school and has given up on the things he really wants to do. His only friend is a hawk that is unable to fly due to an injury. He takes good care of this hawk in the hope that it can soar the skies once again.
Tsuzura’s hawk has suddenly been sold, so he does what he can to get his precious bird back. Hearing what happened, Boruto ignores Sasuke and rushes to help.
Boruto dozes off on Thunder Train and wakes up in an unfamiliar location along with the other passengers. A mysterious individual known as Ouga forces them to participate in a game of death disguised as an experiment—who will successfully beat this game and make it out alive?!
As test subjects drop off one by one, Boruto tries to find a way to get everyone out alive. The next experiment is for the subjects to carry candles that are directly linked to their lives. Although some people try to save only themselves, Boruto and a fellow ninja from the Leaf Village, Kiseru Gankubi, aim to clear the challenge together with everyone…but Ouga’s experiment mercilessly pushes them to their limits!
While everyone is exhausted from Ouga’s experiments, a test subject talks about their goals, which leads everyone to talk about what they want to do if they survive. The mood is lightened, but Ouga begins a new experiment. Due to the careless actions of certain test subjects, everyone's lives are in danger once again.
While Boruto and the others are forced to participate in Ouga’s experiments, Sarada and her team investigate Boruto’s disappearance and discover the existence of a suspicious individual. Meanwhile, Boruto is shocked to discover the identity of someone who may be working for Ouga. Just then, a test subject is found dead—killed for reasons that have nothing to do with the experiment.
Ignoring the danger to his own life, Boruto tells the other test subjects to escape while he takes on the person who may be working for Ouga. But they decide to stay and help Boruto fight the suspect. As they search for Boruto’s whereabouts, Sarada and her team find themselves surrounded by skilled ninja and uncover unexpected information about the incident.
Boruto reawakens to find he’s back where he first found himself.
Naruto falls ill, and Sasuke goes to the Tatar Observatory to try to find a cure.
Sasuke is attacked by Meno, the guardian of the Observatory, and then poisoned. Just when he thinks it’s all over, he is rescued by Sakura, who has infiltrated the Observatory as a doctor. She gets Sasuke reassigned to assist her, and they begin their undercover investigation. From the intel that Sakura brings, they learn that Ultra Particles were what cured the Sage of the Six Paths, but in order to find out where it is located, they need to obtain a document called the Map of the Heavens. They decide to search the Observatory’s library for it.
Seeking information related to the Ultra Particles, Sasuke searches the cellar of the room belonging to Zansul, the director of the Observatory, while a messenger of the prime minister is visiting from the capital. To buy some time, Sakura transforms into the messenger. While Zansul is distracted, Sasuke tries to sneak into the basement, but they start to get anxious when things don’t go according to plan. Meanwhile, Zansul tells Sakura something disturbing.
Sasuke and Sakura work together to gather information concerning the Ultra Particles. Unfortunately, there is still much they don’t know, and they are unable to figure out where to get answers. Eventually, Sasuke finds a clue to the whereabouts of the Ultra Particles from something his cellmate mentions. Meanwhile, Sakura discovers a hint to unraveling the mystery of the Map of the Heavens from a game called Star Lines. Having finally gathered the information they need, Sasuke and Sakura try to obtain the Ultra Particles. However…
A swarm of dragon-beasts suddenly appears at the Observatory, throwing everything into chaos. When Sasuke and Sakura learn that the director, Zansul, has horrifying ambitions, they split up to try to stop him. Sakura gets back to the Observatory first, but the building collapses while she’s still inside. Meanwhile, Sasuke catches sight of Zansul and his accomplices. He tries to join up with Sakura but is unable to find her. Trapped, Sakura faces a precarious dilemma. Will Sasuke and Sakura—the most powerful couple in the Village Hidden in the Leaves—be able to crush Zansul’s ambitions and safely return with the Ultra Particles to save their friend?
Code worships Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was defeated by Boruto and his friends. In order to meet a certain person, he visits the facility that formerly belonged to Boro. Like Kawaki, Code miraculously survived the experiments intended to help select a vessel for Isshiki—and he possesses greater power than even Jigen. He has vowed revenge against Boruto and Kawaki for destroying Isshiki. Meanwhile, Claw Marks left by Code are discovered just outside of the Hidden Leaf Village. While the Hokage and the others take precautions, Boruto proposes an idea to Kawaki.
In order to gain the strength to fight Code, Boruto invites Kawaki to train, along with Sarada and Mitsuki. Unfortunately, because Kawaki is in a rush, they end up arguing about their training methods. Meanwhile, at Boro’s facility, Eida has awakened. Eida is another one of Amado’s creations who has the power of the Senrigan, which allows her to see events in the present and the past. Code is powerless against her other ability…
With the disappearance of his Karma, Kawaki has lost his powers. He becomes worried that he won’t be able to protect Naruto or the village he cares for. Seeming to know what Kawaki is thinking, Amado verbally provokes him. Sumire becomes worried that Amado is planning something. Meanwhile, Code teams up with Eida to get his revenge. Eida introduces him to another person who will be helping them.
Due to the risk that Code might attempt to kill Boruto and Kawaki, guards are assigned to them. Boruto is sick of being watched every day. Meanwhile, Kawaki overhears a conversation between Shikadai and Inojin and learns how to slip past his guard and the Village’s sensory system. Once he decides he must do whatever it takes to protect Naruto and the Hidden Leaf, he jumps into action. Despite their keen sensory abilities, Naruto and the Village’s sensory team are unaware of what’s happening. But Boruto feels a strange sensation that allows him to detect Kawaki’s movements.
Boruto arrives to help Kawaki defeat Code. In order to match Code’s incredible combat abilities, Boruto activates his Karma. In response, Code activates his own Karma. As the battle intensifies, Kawaki becomes worried that Momoshiki might take control of Boruto’s consciousness. Meanwhile, in the Hidden Leaf Village, Boruto and Kawaki had disappeared without anyone noticing. Naruto decides to do his own investigation to find out where they went.
Amid a fierce battle, Kawaki’s fears come true, and Momoshiki takes control of Boruto. Kawaki watches as Boruto overwhelms Code as Momoshiki. Then Naruto arrives with Shikamaru. Kawaki is concerned for Naruto’s safety as one of Code’s targets, but despite his wishes, Naruto takes on Code as the Hokage. Unfortunately, Code takes Shikamaru hostage, and in his desire to settle his grudge, Momoshiki joins him. Naruto faces an extremely dangerous situation.
Boruto makes a desperate decision to prevent Momoshiki from taking over his consciousness again. Meanwhile, Kawaki drives back Code using the Karma that Amado revived.
