Sumire's wish comes true and she joins the Scientific Ninja Tools Team, leaving only Wasabi and Namida on Team 15. A new member, Tsubaki Kurogane, a young girl who hails from the Land of Iron, joins them.

Tsubaki, Sumire’s replacement on Team 15, is proud of her samurai upbringing and is highly skilled, but her team’s overall mission performance is lackluster. Tsubaki devises a plan to hone her team’s skills, where they fight for who performs best on missions.

Boruto and the team finally catch up to the real thieves, two ninja brothers from the Land of Kasumi. Yuga uses a Forbidden Jutsu to summon a monster, and seals it and the team inside a strong barrier. Naruto insists on defeating it and getting out of the barrier. But Mugino argues that unnecessary fighting should be avoided since they don't know how to counter this special jutsu.

A memorial service is being held in remembrance of the many fallen from the Fourth Great Ninja War. Shikamaru and Ino reminisce about their fathers who died carrying out their duties until the very end in the hopes of a better future. Meanwhile, Ao, an aide to the Fifth Mizukage Mei, pays a visit to the Village Hidden in Leaves.

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.

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.

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?!

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 reawakens to find he’s back where he first found himself.
