Boruto and the others learn that the boy named Kawaki is the target that Kara has been seeking. They watch on as a battle rages between Kawaki and the Kara Outer, Garo, and are shocked by the young man's capabilities.

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.

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.

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?!

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.
