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.

Mirai leaves the inn with Tatsumi without telling Kakashi and Guy. At the hot springs Mirai thinks she sees her father Asuma, but something feels off. Will Mirai be able to get back to her escort mission in one piece?

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.

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."

Urashiki appears to steal the chakra of Nine Tails from Naruto, but his attempt is unsuccessful. In order to save Naruto, Boruto, Sasuke and Jiraiya pursue Urashiki. Jiraiya then notices that the malevolent Nine Tails Chakra has started filling the air.

Boruto and his team try to get Kokuri assigned to the same cell, but the warden, Benga, shuts the idea down. Looking for a weakness in Benga, they approach Doragu, the leader among the prisoners, for information they can exploit. Doragu is willing to give them information, but in exchange Boruto and the team must undergo a test of perseverance.
