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.

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?

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!

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?

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.
