Boruto, Kawaki and the others sense something has happened to Naruto. But before anyone can act, Shikamaru and his subordinates arrive and erect a barrier around the Uzumaki home to contain Kawaki, believing he can't be trusted.

Sarada, Mitsuki, and Boruto decide to meet with the Mizukage. Chojuro is heading into battle against the pirates, so Boruto and his friends ask the shipbuilder Kajiki for help. Thanks to Kajiki, they manage to reach Chojuro, but when they try to reason with him to stop the battle… Meanwhile, Ikada sails the raging seas with the intent to destroy the Shinonome 1, the brand-new power plant developed by the Land of Water.

Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki hold a special lecture at the Academy for freshmen like Kawaki and Himawari. The teacher in charge, Hana, will also speak, but unlike Boruto and his team—who have actual mission experience and flashy jutsu like the Rasengan that appeal to the students—she can only use conservative jutsu, so she feels inadequate as a teacher and becomes depressed. A mock training activity prepared by the trio causes the class to become deeply divided, and Hana struggles to bring the class together again.

Kae has been taken away and Kawaki must face a dangerous assassin. Himawari acts as his partner and provides support during the battle. They try to corner the enemy with coordinated attacks, but the enemy proves to be powerful. Meanwhile, their classmates, who had entrusted Kawaki and Himawari to directly confront the assassin, take action in a desire to try to help. Will Kawaki be able to save his precious friends and accomplish his mission?

Ignoring the danger to his own life, Boruto tells the other test subjects to escape while he takes on the person who may be working for Ouga. But they decide to stay and help Boruto fight the suspect.

As they search for Boruto’s whereabouts, Sarada and her team find themselves surrounded by skilled ninja and uncover unexpected information about the incident.
