Boruto has a dream about the day he defeated Momoshiki Otsutsuki. It ends up bothering him so much that he can't focus on his mission. He then meets Tento, the son of Ikkyu Madoka—the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire—who’s in the Hidden Leaf for a meeting with the Hokage.

Team 7 and Mugino manage to evade the gang and continue their pursuit of the culprits. But on the way they encounter a squad of skilled ninja and the situation turns explosive. Amidst the tension they learn intel about the culprits, so the team set out in pursuit, but their way is blocked by Deepa.

After the Chunin Exams, Katasuke has returned to work at the invitation of the Hokage. Upon seeing him, Boruto becomes annoyed thinking about what happened during the exam.

Kawaki starts living in the Uzumaki household, and at first he’s bewildered by their peaceful everyday life. Eventually he’s put to ease by the cheerful and welcoming atmosphere of the Uzumakis. Meanwhile, Boruto is furious that Kawaki has broken a vase that his little sister had made for their mother, fanning the flames between them. As a fellow wielder of the Karma, Kawaki makes a proposal.

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…

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!

Will Kawaki be able to save his precious friends and accomplish his mission?

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.

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.

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.
