Ikada returns home after learning that his sister has been severely injured in battle. He spends the next few days looking after her and is visited by Funamushi’s son Kobuna. Kobuna asks Ikada if he will join the fight. Ikada tells him that he is not suited for battle. Despite his feelings, his father Araumi and the other members of the Funato Clan are annoyed that he isn’t joining the fight.

Boruto’s desperate attempts to reason with Ikada fail and he’s unable to change his mind. He prepares himself to give his life to stop the Land of Water and the pirates from fighting. He tells Sarada and Mitsuki that they should not seek revenge if he ends up dying. However, neither of them is able to stand idly by. Will Boruto and his friends manage to stop this cycle of revenge and restore peace to the seas?!

Naruto has been asked to play himself in the popular Evil Jammer Kagemasa shinobi movie series. Konohamaru ends up playing the role in his place. Since this is his first movie appearance and the fact that he will be playing the Seventh Hokage, someone he looks up to, Konohamaru goes all out. However, he’s troubled when production doesn’t quite go as he expected. Upon hearing something from the assistant director, he proposes something to make the movie more enjoyable.

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.

After what appears to be an assassination attempt on Kae, Kawaki is cautious on the day of the school festival. The festival begins and everyone enjoys themselves. But when it's time for the play, a bomb suddenly goes off at the Academy.

Kawaki and Himawari’s class goes on a field trip to an uninhabited island in order to create new memories with Kae. Because of its distance from the village, there are all sorts of rumors about the island, and bizarre incidents occur, like the disappearance of the food they brought. The field trip suddenly starts to feel unsettling, but under Hana Sensei’s direction, the students try to work together to overcome these difficulties. Meanwhile, Kawaki suspects the assassin targeting Kae might be lurking nearby, so he steps up his watch.

Boruto accompanies Sasuke to a hawk trainer to obtain a messenger hawk.

There, Boruto and Sasuke hear about a person who sells rare animals and decide to investigate. Boruto then befriends a boy named Tsuzura Shitakiri. Because of his mother, Tsuzura doesn’t go to school and has given up on the things he really wants to do. His only friend is a hawk that is unable to fly due to an injury. He takes good care of this hawk in the hope that it can soar the skies once again.

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.

As test subjects drop off one by one, Boruto tries to find a way to get everyone out alive. The next experiment is for the subjects to carry candles that are directly linked to their lives. Although some people try to save only themselves, Boruto and a fellow ninja from the Leaf Village, Kiseru Gankubi, aim to clear the challenge together with everyone…but Ouga’s experiment mercilessly pushes them to their limits!

While everyone is exhausted from Ouga’s experiments, a test subject talks about their goals, which leads everyone to talk about what they want to do if they survive. The mood is lightened, but Ouga begins a new experiment. Due to the careless actions of certain test subjects, everyone's lives are in danger once again.

Seeking information related to the Ultra Particles, Sasuke searches the cellar of the room belonging to Zansul, the director of the Observatory, while a messenger of the prime minister is visiting from the capital. To buy some time, Sakura transforms into the messenger. While Zansul is distracted, Sasuke tries to sneak into the basement, but they start to get anxious when things don’t go according to plan. Meanwhile, Zansul tells Sakura something disturbing.

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.

With the disappearance of his Karma, Kawaki has lost his powers. He becomes worried that he won’t be able to protect Naruto or the village he cares for. Seeming to know what Kawaki is thinking, Amado verbally provokes him. Sumire becomes worried that Amado is planning something.

Meanwhile, Code teams up with Eida to get his revenge. Eida introduces him to another person who will be helping them.

Due to the risk that Code might attempt to kill Boruto and Kawaki, guards are assigned to them. Boruto is sick of being watched every day. Meanwhile, Kawaki overhears a conversation between Shikadai and Inojin and learns how to slip past his guard and the Village’s sensory system. Once he decides he must do whatever it takes to protect Naruto and the Hidden Leaf, he jumps into action. Despite their keen sensory abilities, Naruto and the Village’s sensory team are unaware of what’s happening. But Boruto feels a strange sensation that allows him to detect Kawaki’s movements.
