Kawaki starts to believe that being a genin is not for him. The Seventh Hokage gives him a last shot and assigns him to join Shikadai and Cho-Cho on a mission to protect Mozuku, from the Land of Calm Seas, and escort him back to his homeland. Will Kawaki be able to cooperate with his comrades and fulfill the mission this time? Meanwhile, Team 7 is on another mission and they pass a group who seem to be ninja in disguise…

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.

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.

When he and Boruto learn that the inn is hosting an event which promises a premium gift, they decide to sign up and participate.

Meanwhile, Boruto is shocked to discover the identity of someone who may be working for Ouga. Just then, a test subject is found dead—killed for reasons that have nothing to do with the experiment.
