The Hidden Leaf Village is located within the Land of Fire, one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations. Boruto Uzumaki lives here and he's the son of the village leader, Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage. One day, Boruto saves a boy named Denki Kaminarimon, who's being picked on. Denki is physically weak, so he is unable to stand up to the bullies. On his way to the entrance ceremony at the Ninja Academy, Boruto sees Denki again. He notices that his chakra is warped and that he is acting strangely.

The protest instigated by the Byakuya Gang against the Kaminarimon Company increases in intensity. The Leaf Shinobi, including the genin, are mobilized into action. The teams are assigned sections to keep watch over the protesters, and Team 10, made up of Shikadai, Inojin and Cho-Cho, takes up its position. But Shikadai notices something as he studies the position chart and rushes out on his own!

Boruto manages to perfect his Rasengan and begins training under Sasuke. He’s an extremely strict teacher because Boruto’s unfocused and only thinks about surpassing his father, and keeps looking for the easy way out when training gets tough. Iwabe, Sumire and the others also decide to take the Chunin Exam and turn in their applications. Hoping to show off his skills to Naruto, Boruto decides to apply as well. Meanwhile, the Otsutsuki Clan set their sights on Killer Bee!

The ninja assigned to the Hidden Leaf Gate are attacked, and Mitsuki disappears. Boruto and Sarada are unaware of this when their scheduled mission is suddenly canceled. Worried, the two start searching for their teammate. When they learn that all the jonin have been summoned by the Hokage, they set out to find out what's going on.

Sustaining great damage from Mitsuki’s attack, Ku flees the scene. Boruto and Sarada attempt to chase after him, but Kirara blocks their path! Meanwhile, Sekiei watches everything unfold. Shocked and confused by the actions of Mitsuki, Sekiei recklessly attacks him. Not wanting to fight, Mitsuki tries to stop him.

Urashiki is determined to get Shukaku's chakra and attacks ruthlessly. Boruto and Shinki form a united front and unleash each of their special jutsu. However, Urashiki proves to be a formidable opponent that neither Sasuke nor Gaara could defeat. Will Boruto and Shinki be able to find a way to counter him?

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.
