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.

While Boruto and the others are forced to participate in Ouga’s experiments, Sarada and her team investigate Boruto’s disappearance and discover the existence of a suspicious individual.

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.

Boruto arrives to help Kawaki defeat Code. In order to match Code’s incredible combat abilities, Boruto activates his Karma. In response, Code activates his own Karma. As the battle intensifies, Kawaki becomes worried that Momoshiki might take control of Boruto’s consciousness. Meanwhile, in the Hidden Leaf Village, Boruto and Kawaki had disappeared without anyone noticing. Naruto decides to do his own investigation to find out where they went.
