Tsubaki, Sumire’s replacement on Team 15, is proud of her samurai upbringing and is highly skilled, but her team’s overall mission performance is lackluster. Tsubaki devises a plan to hone her team’s skills, where they fight for who performs best on missions.

Using intel obtained from Shojoji the leader of the Mujina Gang, Sai and Sasuke journey to the Hidden Rain Village to find a location thought to be the hideout of an organization known as "Kara, the Husk.

Leaving Mitsuki in the care of Yubina, a doctor and friend of Mugino, Boruto and the others go to a black market in the Land of Silence, a dangerous and lawless gathering place for disgraced ninja. Team 7 make it to a shop located in the most dangerous district whose owner knows all the latest news. After a scuffle with the bodyguards, the team finally gets ready to ask the shopkeeper for information.

Boruto and the team finally catch up to the real thieves, two ninja brothers from the Land of Kasumi. Yuga uses a Forbidden Jutsu to summon a monster, and seals it and the team inside a strong barrier. Naruto insists on defeating it and getting out of the barrier. But Mugino argues that unnecessary fighting should be avoided since they don't know how to counter this special jutsu.

Boruto and Sarada convalesce at the Leaf Hospital while Mitsuki returns to Orochimaru's for treatment. For Boruto and Sarada, their inability to fight back against Deepa turns from frustration to resolve. Meanwhile, Konohamaru gives the Hokage his report regarding the incident, and in order to investigate the connection with the Kara more thoroughly, he asks that he be allowed to conduct surveillance on Victor's company.
