Just like Boruto and his comrades, an investigational team from the River country is studying the birds who have become ferocious due to the cursed seal. Juugo was captured by them. In order to not increase the damages due to the cursed seal beyond what’s already happened, Boruto and his comrades say that Juugo’s power is still necessary. Despite appealing to the investigational team from the River country, they are treated with contempt.

Boruto and his comrades are trying to interfere with the plans to use the cursed seal’s power. Even though Boruto and Suigetsu are headed over to Jugo's location, they get ensnared by a trap and get put in a tough position! On the other hand, Sarada and Karin employ diversionary tactics to battle their enemy. In addition, Wasabi and Namida have gotten separated from Boruto and his comrades. They get rescued by Sumire, but an enemy that she had fought against just a few days ago has reappeared in front of her! In order to protect the two of them, Sumire battles alongside Nue.

Boruto and Shinki bring Shukaku to Hidden Leaf Village. Upon arriving at the Uzumaki home, Himawari is completely taken with him, but Shukaku finds the entire situation irritating. When told about the day Naruto became the Seventh Hokage—and how Himawari hurt Naruto and Kurama—Shukaku comes up with an idea.

Boruto and Sarada begin intensive training after experiencing defeat. Boruto wants to make his Rasengan even stronger and seeks out Kakashi. Sarada is mentored by her father, Sasuke, in the use of her Sharingan. Meanwhile, Konohamaru and Mugino have been authorized to visit Victor's company in order to investigate his motives.

Shikadai, Inojin, and Cho-Cho's Team 10 is assigned to a joint mission with Shinki, Yodo, and Araya from the Hidden Sand. The mission is to find and retrieve an Otsutsuki Puppet that Shikadai had once fought. Team 10 arrives in the Land of Wind and decide to stop at a certain shop. On their way, a man passes them who piques Shikadai's interest. Upon arriving, a chilling scene confronts the trio.

Shikadai comes to see Boruto in the midst of training and witnesses his friend's determination to break through his slump. Shikadai, who also experienced Deepa's frightening power, tells Boruto that a rematch with Deepa would be reckless. Boruto explains his real reason for wanting to become stronger, and asks for Shikadai’s help. Meanwhile, Sarada trains with Sasuke to hone her Sharingan, but Sakura worries about her well-being.

Under Kakashi's watchful eye, Boruto succeeds in powering up his own style of Rasengan. And he demonstrates his progress in a battle against an opponent of Kakashi’s choosing. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Sakura switch places to train their daughter. With firm resolve, Boruto and Sarada continue their training and begin to see the results of their hard work.

Iwabe, Denki and Metal pay a visit to Boruto after he lands in the hospital from overtraining. There, they meet Nattou Nishiki, a young boy who is also a patient. Rambunctious and brash, Nattou easily manipulates the three into getting him an autograph from a certain ninja feared by everyone!

Konohamaru and Mugino continue keeping their eye on Victor's company. They receive intel that the Feudal Lord of the Land of Valleys will be touring the company, giving them the opportunity to check the inner reaches of the secretive facility. Meanwhile, Boruto and Sarada complete their training and visit the woman who requested their previous mission.

Boruto and Sarada rush to Victor's research lab where they find a horrifying plant stealing the chakra of the people near it. As they work with Konohamaru to try to bring it under control, Deepa appears!

Separated from Boruto and Sarada, Konohamaru battles Victor. But someone unexpected shows up to fight alongside him. Meanwhile, Boruto and Sarada are trying to defeat Deepa to even the score, but he still proves to be a formidable opponent despite all of their training.

Konohamaru and his teammates report their findings that the Kara receives outside assistance from people called Outers, and that these Outers may have covertly infiltrated the Five Great Shinobi Nations. Though Naruto feels that, as Hokage, he is responsible for protecting the village, he is unable to decide on a course of action.

The Yamanaka Clan, who have been tracking the village’s ingoing and outgoing traffic with their advanced sensory abilities, spearheads a plan to create a new sensory system and an operational test is conducted.

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 mysterious organization known as the Kara is about to take one of their plans to the next stage that involves a crucial item called a “Vessel.” However, having his own ambitions, Victor secretly panics as he tries to keep his true objectives hidden from Jigen, leader of the Kara, and the other core members

Boruto, Sarada and Mitsuki are assigned to carry out Team 7’s missions by themselves until Konohamaru returns from an unexpected assignment. Boruto runs into Mugino in town and ends up going to his home at Mugino’s invitation.
