Boruto is injured, unconscious and unable to continue. Everyone thinks about returning to the Hidden Leaf. However, being close to the Land of Earth, a surprise attack is highly possible. As a precaution, Inojin and Cho-Cho set out on recon of the surrounding area.

In order to get out of the barrier, Boruto desperately searches for his heart of stone, but he has little success. Then he encounters Sekki, one of the Genbu Three that participated in the recent Chunin Exams. Sekki has also come to the training ground in order to find his heart of stone. Seeing their predicament, Ohnoki tries to help them.

Boruto and Sarada are caught and taken back to the Hidden Stone headquarters along with Ohnoki. There, they find that Ku and his supporters have taken the village, and that things have changed drastically. Kokuyou and Kirara swoop down on Boruto and Sarada, but Shikadai comes to the rescue!

Moved by Tatsumi’s efforts to accomplish her goal all by herself, Mirai decides to help her even though she's still in the middle of her mission.

While chasing down Urashiki, Boruto and Sasuke get hit with a strange Otsutsuki weapon. They find themselves in the Hidden Leaf, but years before Boruto was born. Although there's no sign of Urashiki, Sasuke thinks they should proceed carefully. Suddenly, a very young Naruto appears with Jiraiya and the two start questioning the "outsiders."

Boruto and the team are waiting for the escape boat when Tsukiyo appears. Boruto and his team fight desperately in order to protect Kokuri, but they're tormented by Tsukiyo's jutsu as time threatens to run out on their prison break!
