Sumire's wish comes true and she joins the Scientific Ninja Tools Team, leaving only Wasabi and Namida on Team 15. A new member, Tsubaki Kurogane, a young girl who hails from the Land of Iron, joins them.

Boruto and the others are involved in a robbery incident at Fushuu Castle, and on top of being branded criminals, they are being pursued by a gang from the Land of Silence. Although they're determined to capture the true culprits, the gang keeps attacking and hampering their efforts!

Boruto and the team are determined to reach Asaka, the eldest brother of the Land of Silence Ninja, before Deepa does. They catch up to him, but Deepa arrives soon after and attacks ruthlessly. They try to counter, but nothing seems to work. In the midst of their panic, Victor appears!

Boruto and Sarada convalesce at the Leaf Hospital while Mitsuki returns to Orochimaru's for treatment. For Boruto and Sarada, their inability to fight back against Deepa turns from frustration to resolve. Meanwhile, Konohamaru gives the Hokage his report regarding the incident, and in order to investigate the connection with the Kara more thoroughly, he asks that he be allowed to conduct surveillance on Victor's company.
