During the battle against Funamushi, Kagura is fatally injured. Boruto becomes enraged and charges at Funamushi, activating his Karma. When the Funato squad retreats, Kagura gives Boruto and the others one final request.

Denki and Iwabe protect the village children who accompanied them but they are captured by Funamushi and his squad. Funamushi’s squad shows up once again to attack the village. Funamushi burns with the desire to avenge Seiren as he fiercely battles Boruto and the others once more.

Boruto and the others return safely to the Leaf Village. While Naruto informs Team 7 of events that have occurred in the Hidden Mist since they left, Boruto and Kawaki get into an argument over whether or not Ikada should be punished.

Kawaki and Himawari participate in a training session in the forest near the academy. The class is split into three-person teams and Kawaki ends up on a different team from Kae. Anxious about losing sight of Kae, Kawaki is unable to focus and ends up burdening his assigned team. Kae is lured away by a mysterious person and disappears. Fearing that she is in danger, Kawaki and Himawari rush to find her.

Tsuzura’s hawk has suddenly been sold, so he does what he can to get his precious bird back. Hearing what happened, Boruto ignores Sasuke and rushes to help.

Boruto dozes off on Thunder Train and wakes up in an unfamiliar location along with the other passengers. A mysterious individual known as Ouga forces them to participate in a game of death disguised as an experiment—who will successfully beat this game and make it out alive?!

Code worships Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was defeated by Boruto and his friends. In order to meet a certain person, he visits the facility that formerly belonged to Boro. Like Kawaki, Code miraculously survived the experiments intended to help select a vessel for Isshiki—and he possesses greater power than even Jigen. He has vowed revenge against Boruto and Kawaki for destroying Isshiki.

Meanwhile, Claw Marks left by Code are discovered just outside of the Hidden Leaf Village. While the Hokage and the others take precautions, Boruto proposes an idea to Kawaki.

Boruto makes a desperate decision to prevent Momoshiki from taking over his consciousness again. Meanwhile, Kawaki drives back Code using the Karma that Amado revived. Willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate anyone who is a threat to Naruto, Kawaki fights with overwhelming power. Shikamaru is shocked by his strength, and Code learns the difference in their powers. Boruto and Kawaki have overcome various obstacles as brothers, but a troubling shadow begins to loom over their relationship. As Momoshiki once said, the fateful moment that will take everything from Boruto is approaching!
