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.

Kakashi goes to the post office—disguised as Sukea, a freelance journalist—to observe Team 25, whose mission is to assist with sorting mail. Houki Taketori, Hako Kuroi, and Renga Kokubou are genin and Boruto's former classmates. As a team, they haven't distinguished themselves, so the missions they are assigned to always consist of simple tasks. Furthermore, they lack teamwork. To find the reason for this, Kakashi decides to talk to Houki, who for some reason dresses just like him.

Led by Kankuro, Boruto and Shinki guard Shukaku head for the Hidden Leaf Village. But on the way, they engage with a puppet created by the Otsutsuki Clan sent after them in pursuit. Kankuro entrusts Shukaku to Boruto and Shinki, and sends them on ahead so he can confront the enemy alone.

Enko Onikuma—one of Boruto's former classmates and a member of Team 40— was possessed by a Summoning Beast as a child. Now, she can manifest its enormous power. But lately, she hasn't been able to control her power, hindering her work on missions. Meanwhile, Ibiki Morino approaches Enko and tells her that she'll be working under him going forward.

Boruto's new mission is to guard Tento, who is obsessed with ninja and collecting X Cards. He begs Boruto to teach him ninja skills, and Boruto thinks this will be a good opportunity to knock some sense into Tento. Meanwhile, the Mujina Gang, which had been laying low after Team 7’s infiltration mission at Hozuki Castle, rears its ugly head.

After Ao's defeat, Koji Kashin appears before Team 7 and attempts to ensnare them in a sealing jutsu and eliminate them. Konohamaru breaks free and takes him on, but during the battle, the mark on Boruto's hand activates.

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!

News has spread throughout the Leaf Village that a cloaked man has stolen data from the archives. Team 10 decides to launch their own investigation to find and catch the thief.
