Inojin has loved to draw since he was small, and his ninjutsu speciality is the Super Beast Scroll. But one day, he suddenly loses his ability to use his jutsu! Puzzled, he talks to his father, Sai, who uses the same jutsu. Even though Sai is sympathetic, he doesn't give Inojin a way to overcome his slump. Instead he suggests that his son enter into a children's art contest, which Inojin halfheartedly does.

The match between Cho-Cho and Shinki of the Hidden Sand begins. Confronted by a foe who is unbelievably calm and menacing, Cho-Cho assumes a seriousness that she rarely reveals as her teammates watch and cheer her on. Boruto and Shikadai's match is next, and the moment nears when the two friends will face off against each other for the first time!

Boruto runs into his teacher Sasuke, who’s returned to the village after a long absence. After listening to Boruto explain the village’s new holiday, Sasuke recalls the time he spent with his father, Fugaku, and his beloved brother Itachi, and decides to spend time with Sarada.

Boruto and Sasuke end up staying in the Hidden Leaf under the watchful eyes of Naruto and Jiraiya. At first, Boruto feels uncomfortable being with Naruto, but gradually warms up to him. Meanwhile, a group of genin—Sakura, Hinata, and Neji—are summoned for duty along with their chunin leader, Shikamaru. Boruto and Naruto head to the designated meeting place and find something unexpected.

Boruto and Team 7 are tasked with a mission to find a missing researcher of a medical equipment company in a distant nation. Mugino, a jonin who has a keen sense of location, comes on board to guide and assist Team 7. Without wasting any time, Boruto and the team start their mission with Mugino.

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.

Delta forces her way into the Leaf Village to take Kawaki back and appears before Boruto and the others. Naruto confronts her to protect Boruto, Himawari and Kawaki. She attacks Naruto with Scientific Ninja Tools that have been implanted into her heavily modified body. In response, Naruto unleashes the power of the Nine Tails, and a fierce clash ensues!

Now that their ship has been repaired, Boruto and the others will soon be leaving the island of shipbuilders. Ikada, now friends with Boruto, promises to achieve his dream and pay him a visit. But then Ikada’s sister Seiren appears before him and tries to drag him back home. When Ikada left home, Seiren was his only ally, so he is sad to see her so unwilling to understand his feelings. Meanwhile, Buntan, Hebiichigo, and Kyoho wait for the ship to depart. They had been promised reduced sentences for their work, but they learn that they won’t be rewarded as much as they thought!

Boruto and Kawaki join Naruto, Hinata, and Himawari on a family trip to the hot springs. The five have fun playing table tennis and enjoying the food and hot spring at the inn. Kawaki had been hesitant before the trip, not wanting to intrude, but he finds himself enjoying the time with Boruto and others. When he and Boruto learn that the inn is hosting an event which promises a premium gift, they decide to sign up and participate.
