Team 7 has arrived at a high-tech research center along with Katasuke. There, they end up running into some familiar faces. The mission has ended without incident, and Boruto is ready to head home. However, there’s more they must do. Boruto and his friends end up cooperating in a test-run of a Scientific Ninja Tool that is under development. Boruto is unhappy at first, but as the test run continues his feelings start to change. As that happens, Team 7 is given a new urgent assignment from the Hokage.

The showdown between Team 7 and Ao begins. Team 7 works together to bring Ao down with various attacks and jutsu, but he proves to be a difficult adversary due to his use of scientific ninja tools.

Boruto and the others learn that the boy named Kawaki is the target that Kara has been seeking. They watch on as a battle rages between Kawaki and the Kara Outer, Garo, and are shocked by the young man's capabilities.

Kawaki collapses and is tormented by nightmares from his childhood. As a child, Kawaki endured an abusive father, until one day a man appeared before him— none other than Jigen, the leader of Kara.

Kawaki goes into town with Naruto to get a new vase to replace the one that he broke. On the way to the Yamanaka Flower Shop, they are joined by Sarada. Unaccustomed to peaceful everyday life, he snaps at Sarada’s attempts to talk to him, and almost attacks a child for bumping into him.

Delta forces her way into the Leaf Village to take Kawaki back and appears before Boruto and the others. Naruto confronts her to protect Boruto, Himawari and Kawaki. She attacks Naruto with Scientific Ninja Tools that have been implanted into her heavily modified body. In response, Naruto unleashes the power of the Nine Tails, and a fierce clash ensues!

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.
