Naruto and the others are exhausted from their battle with Isshiki. Suddenly, Boruto attacks Sasuke. Momoshiki has taken control of Boruto’s consciousness and stands before them as an enemy. Kawaki desperately calls out to Boruto to snap him out of it. Unfortunately, his words are unable to reach him. Sasuke tells Kawaki a way to bring back Boruto’s consciousness. In order to save Boruto, Kawaki attempts a risky plan using a jutsu he only recently learned. While Kawaki and Sasuke fight a desperate battle, Naruto finally runs out of strength. As his consciousness fades, he and Kurama quietly reminisce about their past.

The match between Sarada and Cho-Cho begins. Kawaki has been invited by Naruto to observe, as well as Shinki and others who have come from the Hidden Sand Village. Who will emerge victorious in a battle between best friends?!

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?!

Mitsuki worries when Mikazuki the cat goes missing. Mitsuki, Boruto, and Sarada are assisting with the village patrol at the request of the police department, which is having difficulty investigating a strange series of attacks. From morning until night, Mitsuki spends his days on patrol, when one day, he sees Mikazuki being cared for by another person and being called by another name!

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.

The assassin targeting Kae has finally been revealed. Because of their previous clashes, Kawaki knows they are a powerful foe. He decides to chase after the assassin by himself to prevent putting any more students in danger. But Kawaki finds it difficult to do that without knowing where the assassin is; what’s more, his classmates desire to work together to chase down the assassin and save Kae. And so, the entire class begins their pursuit!

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!

A swarm of dragon-beasts suddenly appears at the Observatory, throwing everything into chaos. When Sasuke and Sakura learn that the director, Zansul, has horrifying ambitions, they split up to try to stop him. Sakura gets back to the Observatory first, but the building collapses while she’s still inside. Meanwhile, Sasuke catches sight of Zansul and his accomplices. He tries to join up with Sakura but is unable to find her. Trapped, Sakura faces a precarious dilemma.

Will Sasuke and Sakura—the most powerful couple in the Village Hidden in the Leaves—be able to crush Zansul’s ambitions and safely return with the Ultra Particles to save their friend?

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.
