Namida from Team 15 uses an earsplitting cry that can temporarily paralyze or knock out an opponent, but she’s unable to fully control this special jutsu. When she panics, the jutsu can affect everyone nearby, even her allies. Worried that she’ll become a hindrance to missions, Namida decides to stop crying to prevent the jutsu from accidentally activating.

The cause is still unknown, but they are successively discovering birds that are under control of the power of the cursed seal. Boruto and his comrades from Team 7 are with Tosaka: They are running around together with Juugo, who can absorb the power of cursed seals. Boruto and his comrades continue to rescue the birds by using tranquilizers, so that Juugo and them won’t be controlled by the cursed seal again. However, an incident occurs where they lose all of their tranquilizers.

Jugo is suffering from the effects of the drug that activates the power of the cursed seals. Somehow or another. Boruto and Suigetsu want to try to save him, but they are rendered unable to move because of being injected with a tranquillizer. Meanwhile, it’s time for the migratory birds to set off.

Due to Sasuke’s frequent absences from the village, he hasn’t had time to train Boruto. When Sasuke sends a message home, Boruto takes a peek at its contents and learns that Sasuke will be making a stop at a certain location in the Land of Wind. Determined to be trained by his mentor, he sneaks out of the village.

Boruto manages to reach Sasuke, but he sees his mentor disappear before his very eyes due to an attack by Urashiki Otsutsuki. It turns out that Sasuke, along with the Kazekage and Shinki, was in the middle of battling Urashiki, who was pursuing Shukaku, the One Tail. Gaara uses a Sealing Jutsu and manages to stop Urashiki, but he believes it’s only a matter of time before the jutsu is broken. He orders Shinki and Boruto to go to the Leaf Village to keep Shukaku safe.

Urashiki is determined to get Shukaku's chakra and attacks ruthlessly. Boruto and Shinki form a united front and unleash each of their special jutsu. However, Urashiki proves to be a formidable opponent that neither Sasuke nor Gaara could defeat. Will Boruto and Shinki be able to find a way to counter him?

Boruto is forbidden to participate in the counterattack on Urashiki because he was previously targeted by the Otsutsuki. Frustrated by this decision, Boruto argues with Naruto when a report comes in that Urashiki has been located.

While chasing down Urashiki, Boruto and Sasuke get hit with a strange Otsutsuki weapon. They find themselves in the Hidden Leaf, but years before Boruto was born. Although there's no sign of Urashiki, Sasuke thinks they should proceed carefully. Suddenly, a very young Naruto appears with Jiraiya and the two start questioning the "outsiders."

Boruto and Naruto resume their training. Meanwhile, Sasuke is at a loss for words when Jiraiya expresses doubt about his identity. However, Jiraiya says that he will not pry if they join forces to come up with a strategy to defeat Urashiki.

Boruto's quick thinking exposes Urashiki's trick that enables him to see into the future and they manage to inflict some damage. But before they can breathe a sigh of relief, Urashiki emerges again with an even stronger move, and they're back in the same predicament!
