Il Villaggio della Foglia si trova nel Paese del Fuoco, una delle cinque Grandi Nazioni Ninja. E' qui che vive Boruto Uzumaki, figlio del capovillaggio e Settimo Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. Un giorno, Boruto difende Denki Kaminarimon, ricattato da dei compagni e troppo debole per affrontarli. Il primo giorno di scuola Boruto rivede Denki, e nota che il suo chakra è anomalo e il ragazzo ha dei comportamenti strani.

Dopo la sospensione dovuta all'incidente del primo giorno di scuola, Boruto fa il suo ingresso all'Accademia. I suoi compagni lo tengono in disparte perché è il figlio del Settimo Hokage e si è già beccato una sospensione. Iwabei Yuino, uno dei suoi compagni, lo sfida. Allievo di grande talento nel combattimento, è però ripetente e ha un brutto carattere. Inizialmente Boruto lo ignora, ma quando vede che se la prende con Denki che lo pregava di smetterla, le cose cambiano.

Metal Lee, uno dei compagni di Boruto, è molto bravo nello studio ed è abilissimo nelle arti marziali. Sfortunatamente per lui, è molto ansioso e se si sente osservato combina disastri. Sentendosi ferito da una battuta di Shikadai Nara, Metal lo attacca. Boruto, coinvolto nel litigio, nota che il chakra di Metal è anomalo, come era quello di Denki.

Il maestro Shino Aburame propne una sfida alla classe: dovranno dividersi in due squadre, una maschile e una femminile, e prendere una bandiera posta in cima al tetto della scuola. Boruto e la sua squadra cercano di raggiungere il tetto e prendere la bandiera prima della squadra delle ragazze, capitanate da Sarada e Chocho, ma quando Boruto tenta di compiere una Tecnica del Richiamo, succede qualcosa di imprevisto.

Un nuovo studente, Mitsuki, si è appena trasferito dal Villaggio del Suono a quello della Foglia. Batte senza alcun problema Iwabei e mostra la sua avilità nello studio risolvendo formule complesse. Nè Boruto, né i compagni riescono però a capire cosa pensi. Ma quando un operaio impegnato nelle riparazioni impazzisce, Mitsuki inizia a mormorare strane parole.

Boruto, Shikadai e Mitsuki vengono invitati da Shino a un incontro. Giunti al punto stabilito, l'uomo li attacca all'improvviso, cogliendo di sorpresa i ragazzi, che si accorgono delle sue condizioni alterate. Il clan Aburame utilizza tecniche basate sugli insetti, ed è con questi che li attacca: Boruto e amici non avrebbero chance contro uno jonin del suo livello, ma anche allora Mitsuki resta calmo e impassibile.

Chocho è convinta che qualcuno la segua, e decide di coglierlo sul fatto. Una volta catturato, il colpevole svela che in realtà stava seguendo Sumire, la capoclasse, di cui è innamorato. Chocho lo invita a dichiararsi, ma il risultato...

Il chakra simile a un'ombra e visibile solo a Boruto fa sempre più vittime. Mentre all'inizio colpiva solo chi faceva parte della scuola, adesso si espande al Villaggio. Intanto, Boruto si ritrova in uno strano sogno e al suo risveglio annuncia di aver attivato il suo Byakugan, la tecnica Oculare del clan degli Hyuga. Naruto però è incerto e chiede aiuto al suocero, Hiashi Hyuga.

Boruto viene testato da Hanabi, sua zia, per verificare la presenza del Byakugan. Il ragazzo ha accettato la prova sperando in un un riconoscimento da suo padre, ma per quanto si impegni, il Byakugan non si attiva. A questo punto, temendo di essere definito un bugiardo, inizia a dubitare di aver mai visto l'ombra di chakra. Ma proprio allora, spunta fuori una nuova vittima dell'ombra misteriosa.

Boruto inizia a chiamare "Fantasma" l'ombra e non vede l'ora di risolvere con gli amici la serie di casi recenti. Shino cerca di aiutarli, assegnando alla classe il compito di sperimentare un lavoro sul campo. Intanto Sai, un tempo membro della Radice, fa una scoperta inquietante mentre indaga per ordine dell'Hokage sull'origine degli stessi casi.

Sumire e alcune sue amiche finiscono coinvolte in una delle apparizioni del Fantasma e vengono ferite. Boruto si sente responsabile e vuole ora più che mai risolvere la questione. Aiutati dal portalettere che fa loro da guida nell'esperienza di lavoro, i ragazzi monitorano il Villaggio. Ma è una frase di Boruto a far balenare nella mente di Mitsuki e Shikadai una certa possibilità.

I casi del Fantasma improvvisamente smettono di verificarsi, per lo stupore di Boruto e compagni, ma Mitsuki sembra saperne di più. Il ragazzo si rende conto di essere cambiato e chiede consiglio agli amici per risolvere una questione... Ma poco dopo, un misterioso chakra si diffonde per il Villaggio...

Dopo le rivelazioni di Mitsuki sui casi del Fantasma, Boruto è decisissimo a trovarne il colpevole. Intanto il settimo Hokage e il suo team restano sconvolti nell'apprendere l'identità del colpevole avuta con le indagini di Sai. Ed è in quel momento che la Nue, un'enorme chimera, fa la sua comparsa da un'altra dimensione.Il Villaggio è in pericolo, ma a difenderlo ci pensa addirittura il Sesto Hokage, ora in pensione, Kakashi!

Le indagini rivelano che gli incidenti avvenuti nel Villaggio sono dovuti alle trame di qualcuno che agisce per portare avanti le volontà di Danzo Shimura, creatore e leader della Radice. Boruto riesce a usare il potere del suo occhio per entrare nel mondo parallelo in cui si è nascosto il colpevole, possessore del Gozu Tennou, un'arma che utilizza la Nue, una bestia in grado di distruggere il Villaggio. Boruto cerca di convincerlo a cambiare idea, ma riuscirà a cambiare il passato con la forza delle sue parole?

Gli incidenti dovuti al Fantasma sono finalmente finiti e adesso Boruto non riesce più a usare il suo potere. Il Villaggio torna alla sua quotidianità, come l'Accademia, ma c'è ancora qualcosa che preoccupa Boruto e amici...

Gli esami si avvicinano, e e gli studenti sono alle prese con intense sessioni di studio e allenamento perché essere bocciati a un esame significa perdere l'anno. Denki non è bravo nelle arti marziali e trova difficilissimo usare il chakra per scalare le pareti, mentre Iwabei non riesce a capire quello che studia. Boruto e compagni cercano di aiutarli, ma non fanno che confonderli ulteriormente. Riusciranno a non essere bocciati?

Sarada si impegna a consegnare un orsacchiotto a una bambina in ospedale, ma lo dimentica sul treno e va nel panico, tanto che arriva a salire sul tetto del treno, cosa inaudita per lei, che aveva sempre criticato Boruto per questo motivo. Ma Chocho si accorge di Sarada, e la accompagna all'ufficio oggetti smarriti. Il bagaglio viene recuperato, ma...

La famiglia Uzumaki è nel caos, ora che la piccola Himawari ha la febbre. Naruto non torna quasi mai a casa, e il risentimento di Boruto verso di lui cresce sempre di più, specie ora che la sorellina è malata.

Sarada osserva Boruto che viene rincorso e rimproverato dal padre per uno dei suoi scherzi, e il loro rapporto le fa ricordare l'immagine di suo padre, Sasuke, che lei non ha mai visto. Dopo aver scoperto una foto in cui Sasuke appare con una donna che indossa occhiali uguali ai suoi, Sarada è decisa a conoscere la verità. Riuscirà a scoprire il segreto dietro la sua nascita?

Sasuke invia un messaggio a Naruto, informandolo dell'esistenza di un uomo con lo Sharingan. Appena ricevuta la notizia, Naruto si mette in viaggio per incontrare Sasuke. Contemporaneamente, Sarada, rosa dai dubbi su chi sia la sua vera madre, si unisce a Chocho, intenzionata a trovare il suo vero padre. Saputo che anche Naruto è in viaggio per trovare Sasuke, le bambine si uniscono a lui, ma il pericolo incombe su di loro...

Sarada arriva alla torre dove si trova Sasuke, ma resta ferita dalle parole e dai gesti di suo padre. Imbarazzati dalla situazione, Chocho e Naruto cercano di aiutarli, ma vengono attaccati da una coppia di uomini, padre e figlio, che posseggono lo Sharingan e sostengono di chiamarsi Shin Uchiha. Intanto, Sakura viene a sapere del viaggio di Sarada...

Sarada è sconvolta dal rapimento di sua madre, e nemmeno Naruto riesce a localizzarla. Con l'aiuto di Sasuke, che trova gli Sharingan nel braccio di Shin, gli indizi li portano al laboratorio di ricerca di Orochimaru, dove Sarada incontra gli ex colleghi del padre, Suigetsu, Hozuki e Jugo. Volendo trovare una risposta alle sue domande, Sarada chiede a Suigetsu di analizzare i suoi geni.

Sarada è decisa a salvare Sakura, e si lancia all'inseguimento di Shin con Sasuke, Naruto e Chocho. Dopo una serie di brutali vattaglie con i cloni di Shin, la ragazza è sorpresa nel vedere l'intesa tra Sasuke e Sakura, che non si vedevano da anni. Improvvisamente però, Shin ordina ai suoi cloni di uccidere gli intrusi. La scoperta del legame tra i suoi genitori porterà Sarada a scoprire anche il segreto sulla sua nascita?

Il Villaggio della Foglia è in presa all'eccitazione per il prossimo Summit dei Kage. Boruto sa che i controlli di sicurezza sono severissimi, ma ha comunque in mente uno dei suoi scherzi. Intanto Sarada ha deciso di diventare Hokage e si allena duramente, mentre a porte chiuse, i Cinque Kage discutono delle informazioni riservate riferite da Sasuke su Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Boruto e compagni vanno in viaggio d'istruzione al Villaggio della Nebbia nel Paese dell'Acqua. A far loro da guida è Kagura Karatachi, un ninja della stessa età di Boruto, che ha però già un incarico ufficiale come consigliere di Chojuro, il Mizukage. Una volta noto come Villaggio della Nebbia Insanguinata, adesso invece è una città inaspettatamente moderna e vitale: tuttavia il malcontento e la nostalgia per il passato persistono in alcuni dei suoi abitanti.

Kagura e Chojuro fanno da guida a Boruto e compagni durante una visita all'Accademia della Nebbia, specializzata nell'arte della spada. Boruto resta a bocca aperta davanti alla bravura degli studenti, tanto che Chojuro organizza un duello di prova tra lui e Kagura, che però esita ad accettare. Nonostante la sua abilità sia riconosciuta da tutti, per quale motivo rifiuta la sfida?

Tsurushi Hachiya, un ex compagno di Kagura rapisce Denki per provocare Boruto. Quest'ultimo si unisce a Kagura per salvare l'amico, e insieme affrontano Hachiya e la sua gang, ma durante il confronto viene rivelata la verità su Kagura.

Kagura finalmente accetta di ereditare Rombosogliola da Chojuro, ma finisce per diventare involontariamente parte di un piano architettato da Shizuma Hoshigaki un ninja che vuole tornare al passato insanguinato.

Kagura fa entrare Shizuma e i suoi nella stanza dove sono custodite le Spade Ninja, e i nuovi Sette Spadaccini della Nebbia insorgono per riportare il Villaggio al suo passato di sangue e morte. Chojuro e Mei, l'attuale e l'ex Mizukage, vengono a sapere delle loro azioni e sono decisi a eliminarli tutti, incluso Kagura, che fa parte dei Sette Spadaccini. Per cercare di far cambiare idea a Chojuro, Boruto fa un annuncio sconvolgente.

Chojuro accompagna Boruto e Sarada alla base di Shizuma e dei suoi nuovi Spadaccini della Nebbia. Shizuma separa il gruppo di Boruto usando una tecnica che crea nebbia, e così Sarada si trova ad affrontare una nuova rivale, Buntan Kurosuki, erede delle Zanne del Fulmine. Il duello tra le due sarà durissimo, e intanto Boruto si trova ad affrontare nientemeno che Kagura.

Boruto implora Kagura di cambiare idea e rinunciare alla rivolta, ma il ragazzo rifiuta e lo attacca. Boruto fa di tutto per risparmiarlo, ma Kagura sembra incapace di resistere alle parole di Shizuma. Tuttavia qualcuno interrompe la loro battaglia: è Mitsuki, che avuto una soffiata su quanto sta succedendo. Chi è stato a informarlo e riuscirà Boruto a salvare Kagura?

Il viaggio d'istruzione finisce e Boruto e compagni si preparano a tornare alla Foglia. Chojuro si reca a salutarli ma Kagura non si fa vedere. La classe rientra senza problemi al Villaggio della Foglia e Boruto torna a casa, ma Himawari non sembra contenta. Attende il souvenir che Boruto le aveva promesso, ma che si è completamente scordato di prenderle. Boruto cerca di dirle la verità, ma non ci riesce e le cose non fanno che peggiorare...

Inojin ama disegnare sin da bambino, e la sua tecnica preferita è l'Ultra Illustrazione Animale, ma un giorno perde improvvisamente la capacità di usarla! Perplesso, il ragazzo si rivolge al padre, Sai, che utilizza la stessa tecnica. L'uomo comprende la sua situazione ma non gli indica nessuna soluzione, proponendogli invece di partecipare a un concorso di disegni per bambini. Inojin non è molto convinto, ma lo fa.

Boruto e compagni vanno in campeggio per catturare la misteriosa Carpa Eterna, che si dice sia squisita. Ormai l'esame finale è alle porte e questa potrebbe essere l'ultima occasione per tutta la classe di ritrovarsi assieme, quindi Boruto è decisissimo a catturare il pesce, ma la carpa non è dello stesso parere...

Prima dell'esame finale, gli studenti sostengono un colloquio orientativo con i genitori e gli insegnanti. Boruto, che ha ottimi voti in tutte le materie non vede nessuna nube sul suo futuro da ninja, ma Sukea, un giornalista che sta preparando un reportage sulle aspirazioni dei giovani dell'Accademia, gli fa notare che la sua indifferenza e indolenza non gli saranno d'aiuto e lo mette in guardia.

Finalmente è il momento dell'esame di diploma. Boruto e compagni passano l'esame scritto e si preparano ad affrontare quello pratico, che vedrà gli studenti confrontarsi in battaglia con i loro insegnanti e Kakashi, il Sesto Hokage! L'obiettivo è rubare un campanellino a Kakashi e ciascuno studente è intenzionato a riuscirci, ma per loro sarà durissima. Dopo aspre battaglie Boruto raggiunge Kakashi, che non ha nessuna pietà per lui!

Boruto's the first to confront Kakashi in the exam. Despite a determined effort, he is immobilized and angered by Kakashi's severe criticism of his class. Shortly after, Boruto's classmates come by to assist and Boruto makes his escape. Although depressed by his own shortcomings, Boruto is able to overcome them and formulate a strategy, thanks to the encouragement of his friends.

Boruto and his classmates take their first step as genin and start forming their basic shinobi three-man squads. The members are matched according to their ability and compatibility. Boruto was counting on teaming up with Shikadai, but is disappointed when he opts to be part of the "Ino-Shika-Cho" trio, like his dad. Boruto finds himself teamed up with Sarada and Mitsuki. Since he and Sarada have issues with this matchup, they file a direct appeal to the Hokage to overturn this decision.

Originally from the Village Hidden in the Sound, Mitsuki has made up his mind to become a Hidden Leaf Shinobi. In the past, having lost his memory, Mitsuki finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings, unsure of his identity and motive. Mitsuki faces a difficult decision, but his thoughts and feelings that had once been shrouded in mystery, now come to light

Team 7 sets out on their first mission. Their client is a village who has been plagued by bandits, and their mission is to eradicate them. They meet Kiri, a young girl who has just been installed as the village head after her father's sudden death. The team soon realizes that this mission is far more dangerous and complicated than first expected.

Team 7's original mission evolves into a rescue operation after Kiri is kidnapped. The team must face a formidable genjutsu user as well as a skilled sword user. Following Konohamaru's orders, the team successfully rescues Kiri. But Konohamaru is captured and the trio must battle the enemy alone while protecting Kiri.

Boruto is dissatisfied with the team's easy and lackluster missions since its first one. Team 7 is assigned to capture a suspect who has barricaded himself inside a bank. Excited to show off his skills again, Boruto and the team rush to the site. But the suspect turns out to be a timid individual who was recently fired. A possibility soon arises that a certain organization could be involved!

An incident occurs in Hidden Leaf Village and the Byakuya Gang is suspected. The gang steals from the rich to give to the poor, and they've been active recently in several villages. Boruto disapproves of them, because he believes stealing is stealing no matter how noble the reason.

The Byakuya Gang's activities become more brazen in the Hidden Leaf. While some people view them as heroic, noble thieves, Boruto can't get himself to approve of their actions. The genin are told to work together to capture the gang, and security in the village is increased. During this time, Shikadai meets a youth named Ryugi. Despite their age difference, a bond grows between them.

Shikadai and Ryogi became friends playing shogi, but lately Ryogi hasn't been coming to their usual meeting place. Shikadai's became worried about his friend's behavior the last time they met, but he's kept his concerns to himself. Ryogi is also worried about Shikadai, but is tormented by memories he can't forget.

The protest instigated by the Byakuya Gang against the Kaminarimon Company increases in intensity. The Leaf Shinobi, including the genin, are mobilized into action. The teams are assigned sections to keep watch over the protesters, and Team 10, made up of Shikadai, Inojin and Cho-Cho, takes up its position. But Shikadai notices something as he studies the position chart and rushes out on his own!

During the protests, the Byakuya Gang attacks Katasuke's research center, which has been developing new technology for Scientific Ninja Tools. Shikadai figures out what the Byakuya Gang's goal is and rushes after them in pursuit with Boruto close by. Even a weak "pawn" can become strong in one move—what are the two friends who bonded through shogi seeking?

Udon Ise the jonin captain of Team 5, issues a direct order from the Hokage to Iwabe, Denki and Metal, which states: "In order to attract more students to the Ninjutsu Department of the Academy, you will appear in a PR video documentary." During the Byakuya Gang incident, the three were under suspension, and could only watch as their genin classmates leapt into action. The trio decide to do their best in the documentary in order to prove their prowess, but Udon seems skeptical...

Boruto's aunt, Hanabi Hyuga, leads an all-girl team made up of Sumire, Wasabi and Namida. They are given a mission to recover animals that someone has released from their cages at the zoo. The team sets out, but Wasabi and Namida start arguing en route, and Sumire is unable to stop them.

The Chunin Exam assembles exceptional genin from each village and pits them against each other in order to assess their abilities. Childhood friends and teammates Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi contemplate whether the genin under their guidance will be able to handle the severity of the Chunin Exam.

Boruto overhears remarks being made about his father and him, adding to the hurt because Naruto has broken his promise to be home for Boruto's birthday. Shortly after, Team 7 is given a mission to capture a gang of thieves targeting the Thunder Train, who are hiding out in a town near the Land of Fire's border. But when Team 7 arrives at the town, they find something is not quite right with one of the captured thieves.

Team 7 enters the mine where the thieves had been hiding out, only to be attacked by a powerful, strange-looking White Zetsu. They find out the mine connects to a ruin belonging to Kaguya Otsutsuki. Team 7 decides to investigate and engage the White Zetsu. As they proceed deeper and deeper into the mine, they make a shocking discovery!

The Chunin Exams are fast approaching and everyone’s excited—except for Boruto, which causes everyone grief. During this time, Boruto and his family have a rare chance to be together to celebrate Himawari's birthday, and for once it seems his father has kept his promise...

Unable to contain his anger towards his father for ruining Himawari’s birthday as well as his own, Boruto rushes out to confront Naruto. He runs into Sasuke and unknowingly attacks him but is instantly subdued. Amazed at Sasuke’s strength, Boruto asks him to be his teacher. Sasuke agrees to the request but only after Boruto is able to use the Rasengan. In order to win Sasuke's approval, Boruto trains unusually hard.

Boruto manages to perfect his Rasengan and begins training under Sasuke. He’s an extremely strict teacher because Boruto’s unfocused and only thinks about surpassing his father, and keeps looking for the easy way out when training gets tough. Iwabe, Sumire and the others also decide to take the Chunin Exam and turn in their applications. Hoping to show off his skills to Naruto, Boruto decides to apply as well. Meanwhile, the Otsutsuki Clan set their sights on Killer Bee!

The Chunin Exams are about to begin and genin from the other villages arrive in droves. The Hidden Sand's hopefuls include the Kazekage's adopted son Shinki, and his team mates Yodo and Araya. The Hidden Mists send the Senka triplets, the Hidden Cloud sends Yurui, Iroi, and Tarui. And finally, the Hidden Rock send the Genbu Three. As formidable rivals arrive on the scene, tensions run high as every participant sizes each other up, and prepare for the first round of the Chunin Exams!

Round two of the Chunin Exams begins. For the second test, three-man teams must try to capture their rival team’s flags. Sarada and Mitsuki set out for enemy territory while Boruto stays behind to guard their flag. The Senka Triplets from the Hidden Mist attack, and Boruto finds himself in trouble. Boruto considers using the Scientific Ninja Tool that Katasuke gave him, but it's prohibited to do so during the exam

The third round of the exams begins, consisting of individual battles held tournament style. Boruto’s first match is against Yurui of the Hidden Cloud, and Shikadai is matched up against Yodo of the Hidden Sand. Sarada and Mitsuki are up against Tarui and Toroi of the Hidden Cloud, while Inojin and Cho-Cho pull Araya and Shinki of the Hidden Sand, respectively. After honing their skills in jutsu and strategy, the intense battles between the young shinobi begin!

The match between Cho-Cho and Shinki of the Hidden Sand begins. Confronted by a foe who is unbelievably calm and menacing, Cho-Cho assumes a seriousness that she rarely reveals as her teammates watch and cheer her on. Boruto and Shikadai's match is next, and the moment nears when the two friends will face off against each other for the first time!

The tournament nears its finale, as the matches of Sarada vs. Araya of the Hidden Sand and Mitsuki vs. Shinki of the Hidden San begin! Sarada uses her shuriken and Sharingan skills to attack Araya relentlessly, but he counters her with total ease. Her genjutsu has no effect and she is backed into a corner. In Mitsuki and Shinki's match, the evenly matched duo puts on a show of skills.

The final battle of the tournament begins with Boruto, Sarada and Shinki participating in a battle royale. As the lone representative remaining from the Hidden Sand, Shinki is determined to preserve the pride of the Sand, and goes on the offensive against Boruto and Sarada. Boruto and Sarada team up to fight Shinki, but he puts up an impenetrable defense. Sarada falls, and Boruto's chakra is nearly exhausted, but he refuses to give up!

Momoshiki, Kinshiki and Urashiki of the Otsutsuki Clan suddenly appear in the arena filled with spectators. Using his Scientific Ninja Tool, Boruto hurls jutsu after jutsu to no avail against Momoshiki, who is targeting Naruto. Meanwhile, Urashiki is curious about Mitsuki's strange power and goes after him, but he is confronted by Gaara along with the Mizukage Chojuro. Naruto and the other ninja do all they can to protect the citizens, and for the first time, Boruto witnesses the magnitude of his father's power in real combat.

Naruto uses all his power to protect everyone from the Otsutsuki Clan. Boruto realizes the magnitude of his father's love for the village and its people and, at the same time, his own weakness. Watching his friends working on repairs and aiding the wounded in the aftermath of the attack, Boruto realizes the meaning of his father's words. Knowing that this experience has matured his student a little, Sasuke brings up a certain mission.

Sasuke and the Kage wage an intense battle against the ridiculously powerful Momoshiki and Kinshiki of the Otsutsuki Clan. During that time, Boruto and Naruto, who have always been at odds, face each other and connect for the first time. But Momoshiki interrupts their reunion.

Naruto and Sasuke fight against Momoshiki Otsutsuki. Momoshiki gets defeated, but he's helped by Katasuke and his Scientific Ninja Tool. In the end, Boruto puts an end to Momoshiki's life. While dying, Momoshiki talks to Boruto and gives him the Karma Seal.

Boruto has made his rounds apologizing to everyone for his transgressions during the exam, but Momoshiki's prophecy continues to bother him.

Popular actors Tomaru and Ashina receive death threats from an unknown person, so Team 10 is assigned to a joint mission with Team 7 to guard them. The two teams assemble to get the details of their mission, but Boruto sees a beautiful girl he doesn't remember seeing before…

The movie studio where Team 7 and Team 10 have been assigned to is attacked by a mysterious ninja. The lead actress is wounded and Tomaru, the lead actor, picks Cho-Cho to be the stand-in! Tomaru's flirting has Cho-Cho on Cloud 9, but Sarada and the others worry that the lovestruck Cho-Cho has lost her focus on the mission!

The ninja in the gas mask appears again during filming and kidnaps Tomaru. Despite everything that happened, Cho-Cho continues to worry about Tomaru and berates Konohamaru and Moeri for failing to stop the abductor. Meanwhile, Ashina agrees to deliver the money as instructed in the ransom note.

Metal's father, Rock Lee, announces that he will train Metal to master the ultimate taijutsu technique, the Eight Inner Gates. The thought that he cannot fail this training fills Metal with anxiety, and he ends up buying an item that's supposed to calm his nerves. But it doesn't work, and his father ends up postponing the training. He then runs into Might Guy, his father's mentor and a hero of the Fourth Great Ninja War.

The first Five Kage Summit since the attack by the Otsutsuki Clan is held in Hidden Leaf. The current Kage as well as their predecessors assemble, except the Third Tsuchikage, Ohnoki. Boruto and Team 7 have been assigned security duty, but Boruto gets bored and lets his guard down. Then by chance, they encounter Ohnoki.

The ninja assigned to the Hidden Leaf Gate are attacked, and Mitsuki disappears. Boruto and Sarada are unaware of this when their scheduled mission is suddenly canceled. Worried, the two start searching for their teammate. When they learn that all the jonin have been summoned by the Hokage, they set out to find out what's going on.

Boruto and Sarada sneak out of the village and head to Orochimaru's research lab to find clues about Mitsuki. After evading the ninja guarding the entrance, they get in. But what they observe at the facility and hear from Orochimaru makes Boruto realize that he never truly knew Mitsuki. Meanwhile, the village finds out that Boruto and Sarada have gone in search of Mitsuki, and Shikadai and his Team 10 are assigned a tracking mission to bring back them back.

Orochimaru tells Boruto and Sakura about the White Snake Sage who lives in Ryuchi Cave. On their way there, the two are confronted by Team 10, which is determined to take the two back to the village so that they are not labeled as "rogue" ninja. But there's no way Boruto or Sarada will oblige until they find out the truth from Mitsuki, so they are forced into confrontation using everything they've got!

Boruto and friends head for Ryuchi Cave in order to see the White Snake Sage. But it's not a simple task, since they have no clue where it is. They search for miles, becoming hungry and tired. They are near their limit when Ryuchi Cave suddenly appears before them along with mysterious women to guide them. They are told they must pass a series of tests in order to meet the White Snake Sage!

The White Snake Sage tells Boruto to bring back the "Reverse Scale" from Garaga, a troublesome snake. Boruto and his friends head deeper into Ryuchi Cave and are confronted by a giant serpent. It is Garaga, the very one they seek, but its sheer power has the gang backed into a corner. Meanwhile, Moegi reports that Mitsuki's disappearance might involve someone who has access to crucial village secrets.

Boruto and the others work together to obtain the Reverse Scale from Garaga. But the battle proves difficult, as Garaga has the power to sense the location of its enemies and turn them into stone. In the midst of battle, the team notices inconsistencies in Garaga's moves and comes up with a successful strategy to subdue him. Boruto is seized with a strange feeling and makes Garaga a proposition.

Mitsuki heads toward Kokuyou and Sekiei's homeland, the Land of Earth. Meanwhile, thanks to the power of the White Snake Sage, Boruto and the others learn that Mitsuki is with Hidden Stone Ninja, and they also head for the Land of Earth. Each side has their own agenda, but will they be able to meet up successfully?

Kokuyou confronts Boruto and the others. Kokuyou, whose only goal is to become strong, is so powerful that he's taken down the Leaf ninja pursuing Mitsuki. He easily drives Boruto and his team into a corner. Just then, backup appears. Boruto and his friends manage to overcome Kokuyou, and finally catch with up Mitsuki.

Instead of returning home with Boruto, Mitsuki stays with Kokuyou. During this time, Sekiei becomes sick and declines. To recover, Kokuyou returns to his comrades. During his absence, Sekiei asks Mitsuki to teach him what it means to be human. Meanwhile, the Fourth Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi, who had been visiting Ohnoki, her ailing grandfather, is attacked by mysterious assailants.

Boruto is injured, unconscious and unable to continue. Everyone thinks about returning to the Hidden Leaf. However, being close to the Land of Earth, a surprise attack is highly possible. As a precaution, Inojin and Cho-Cho set out on recon of the surrounding area.

Boruto and his friends decide to go the Hidden Stone Village to see the former Tsuchikage, Ohnoki. In case of an emergency, Inojin stays back with the young Akuta, who is attached to him. The team secretly enters the village determined to find Ohnoki, but they are unaware that they are being watched.

The team finds Ohnoki, but he flatly refuses to help. On top of which, they are attacked and separated. This leaves it up to each member to make it to the rendezvous point on their own. Meanwhile, Mitsuki is being shown around Kokuyou’s hideout.

Boruto and Ohnoki head to the rendezvous point, but they stumble into the Hidden Stone Shinobi Training Grounds, which are protected by a barrier. Ohnoki tells Boruto that the only way out of the Training Grounds is to find his heart of stone, something that can only be found once in a lifetime when a person comes to terms with their will.

In order to get out of the barrier, Boruto desperately searches for his heart of stone, but he has little success. Then he encounters Sekki, one of the Genbu Three that participated in the recent Chunin Exams. Sekki has also come to the training ground in order to find his heart of stone. Seeing their predicament, Ohnoki tries to help them.

Ohnoki takes Boruto to a special location to explain his vision of the future, formed after losing his grandchild, Kozuchi. Meanwhile, time is running out for Ku and his supporters. They rush to set their plan in motion—using force to subdue any who dissent, they attempt to take over the Hidden Stone Village.

Boruto and Sarada are caught and taken back to the Hidden Stone headquarters along with Ohnoki. There, they find that Ku and his supporters have taken the village, and that things have changed drastically. Kokuyou and Kirara swoop down on Boruto and Sarada, but Shikadai comes to the rescue!

After Boruto and Sarada part ways with Shikadai and the others, Kirara appears and turns them into “dolls” that must obey her, ordering the two to kill each other. Meanwhile, thinking about Boruto’s words and how his village is becoming something different than what he envisioned, Ohnoki realizes that he’s made a mistake.

Sustaining great damage from Mitsuki’s attack, Ku flees the scene. Boruto and Sarada attempt to chase after him, but Kirara blocks their path! Meanwhile, Sekiei watches everything unfold. Shocked and confused by the actions of Mitsuki, Sekiei recklessly attacks him. Not wanting to fight, Mitsuki tries to stop him.

Ku appears once again to provoke and attack Boruto. Meanwhile, reevaluating his true will and intent, Ohnoki prepares for a fight to the death in order to stop Ku from doing any more harm.

Boruto and the other Leaf Genin return to the Hidden Leaf with Mitsuki. However, Mitsuki is detained and subjected to hours of interrogation. And since Boruto and the others have taken actions that would normally banish them from the village, it is decided that they will lose their genin qualification as punishment.

The Hidden Leaf established Parent and Child Day to allow busy parents to spend a day off with their children. Boruto and his sister Himawari await the day with anticipation. The day arrives, and Boruto is happy that his father was able to finish work and come home, so he decides to let Naruto spend all of his time with Himawari.

Boruto comes across an eating contest, held by the popular eateries in the Leaf for Parent and Child Day. Many families participate but they don’t know that this event has an outrageous hidden motive arranged by the organizers…

Boruto runs into his teacher Sasuke, who’s returned to the village after a long absence. After listening to Boruto explain the village’s new holiday, Sasuke recalls the time he spent with his father, Fugaku, and his beloved brother Itachi, and decides to spend time with Sarada.

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 Nara clan’s chief elder tells Shikadai to quit being a ninja and become a politician in order to increase the reputation of the clan. Shikadai is hesitant, but considers his father’s position and accepts. Boruto and the others are surprised by Shikadai’s sudden decision. Shikadai takes a hiatus from ninja missions and decides to study to become a politician.

Birds are attacking the residents of a village located on the outskirts of the Land of Fire. Boruto's and Sumire’s teams are assigned a joint mission to identify the cause.

Boruto and Sarada confirm Juugo’s appearance. However, Juugo is under the influence of a ‘Cursed Seal’, and has transformed into a ferocious monster. The ‘Cursed Seal’ is one of Orochimaru’s research materials. Even though it amplifies strength and stimulates that attack instincts of living beings, Juugo is someone who possessed that capability from birth. Juugo has lost control over himself and begins to attack, putting up a difficult fight against Boruto and his comrades. Even though he’ll be getting assistance from his friends, will they cause damage to Juugo somehow?!

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.

Just like Boruto and his comrades, an investigational team from the River country is studying the birds who have become ferocious due to the cursed seal. Juugo was captured by them. In order to not increase the damages due to the cursed seal beyond what’s already happened, Boruto and his comrades say that Juugo’s power is still necessary. Despite appealing to the investigational team from the River country, they are treated with contempt.

Boruto and his comrades are trying to interfere with the plans to use the cursed seal’s power. Even though Boruto and Suigetsu are headed over to Jugo's location, they get ensnared by a trap and get put in a tough position! On the other hand, Sarada and Karin employ diversionary tactics to battle their enemy. In addition, Wasabi and Namida have gotten separated from Boruto and his comrades. They get rescued by Sumire, but an enemy that she had fought against just a few days ago has reappeared in front of her! In order to protect the two of them, Sumire battles alongside Nue.

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.

Team 7 is sent on a mission to help capture a jewelry thief, but they lose track of them. In the thief’s place, a cat appears. Boruto and the others decide that Mitsuki should take care of it for the time being.

Mitsuki visits Orochimaru’s research facility because he’s not feeling well. Mitsuki explains to Orochimaru and Log that he never used to dream during sleep, but has recently begun to have them. Hearing Mitsuki’s story, Orochimaru thinks of a solution.

Konohamaru’s cousin, Mirai Sarutobi, is assigned to escort the Sixth Hokage Kakashi and his friend Might Guy to the hot springs.

Mirai and crew arrive at the hot springs located near the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Steam in time for a festival celebrating dogs and cats. But Mirai—always on the job—just can’t relax!

A few days into the mission, Mirai visits the hot spring with Tenten, Guy’s former student. But that moment of relaxation is interrupted by Guy yelling about a ghost.

Mirai, Kakashi, and Guy travel with Tatsumi to a village with a secret hot spring, but they find the hot spring covered by a boulder! Luckily, Choji drops in, armed with the Akimichi Clan’s Secret Super Expansion Jutsu, but he’s too hungry and can’t utilize the full extent of his abilities!

Moved by Tatsumi’s efforts to accomplish her goal all by herself, Mirai decides to help her even though she's still in the middle of her mission.

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?

Naruto and Shikamaru deliberate on the results of the Chunin Exam that were left unsettled due to the Otsutsuki attack. Sasuke returns, looking for clues about the Otsutsuki Clan.

With Shikadai as captain, Boruto, Iwabe, and Wasabi form a special team for a mission to find and bring back a rare flower that only blooms for a short period of time. What should have been a simple mission ends up progressing slower than expected as the team continues to argue.

Extreme Ninja Cards, featuring famous shinobi from history, is the most popular game in recent times. As Boruto and his friends eagerly collect the cards, they realize they are still missing their former teacher, Shino Aburame, and Metal’s father, Rock Lee! They also learn that there’s only one space left in the upcoming series! A fierce battle begins between Boruto, who thinks it should be Shino, and Metal, who stands behind his father. Which candidate will make the final slot?

Kakashi goes to the post office—disguised as Sukea, a freelance journalist—to observe Team 25, whose mission is to assist with sorting mail. Houki Taketori, Hako Kuroi, and Renga Kokubou are genin and Boruto's former classmates. As a team, they haven't distinguished themselves, so the missions they are assigned to always consist of simple tasks. Furthermore, they lack teamwork. To find the reason for this, Kakashi decides to talk to Houki, who for some reason dresses just like him.

One day, Boruto and Konohamaru rescue Remon Yoimura from an attack. Remon says she has come to Hidden Leaf Village for sightseeing. Boruto and Konohamaru offer to show her around the Leaf and provide some protection as well.

Boruto and Konohamaru pay a visit to Remon's village, but are puzzled by Remon's cold demeanor. It turns out that Remon is a descendant of the Souma, a family that has protected the village from goblins for many generations. Thus, she is not allowed to leave the village freely. Furthermore, an important ritual is to be held shortly, so Kankitsu Akitsuki, Remon's childhood friend, imprisons her to prevent her from seeing anyone.

Konohamaru tries to rescue Remon by checking up on Kankitsu, but he is caught and forcibly taken back to the Leaf Village. Boruto becomes suspicious when he sees Kankitsu alone and acting as if nothing has happened. He decides to investigate the situation, only to be shocked by the sight that unfolds before him! Meanwhile, Konohamaru is disciplined by the Hokage after receiving a complaint from Remon's village.

Konohamaru and Boruto set out again to rescue Remon but find they’ve arrived a little late. Soma has broken the seal and begins his resurrection. Boruto and Konohamaru try desperately to stop this, but none of their weapons and ninjutsu work against him. Watching them, Remon is inspired to carry out her vow and employ the method her ancestor used long ago to seal the monster.

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.

Led by Kankuro, Boruto and Shinki guard Shukaku head for the Hidden Leaf Village. But on the way, they engage with a puppet created by the Otsutsuki Clan sent after them in pursuit. Kankuro entrusts Shukaku to Boruto and Shinki, and sends them on ahead so he can confront the enemy alone.

Boruto and Shinki clash, and they ultimately end up going their separate ways. But an Otsutsuki puppet appears before Shinki. Just then, Boruto arrives with Shikadai and Temari, who were on their way to the Hidden Sand. Even with their help, the Otsutsuki puppet proves formidable. Meanwhile, Urashiki breaks through Gaara’s Sealing Jutsu and begins to move once again.

Boruto and Shinki continue on toward the Hidden Leaf Village to fulfill the mission entrusted to them. But Urashiki suddenly appears. Working together, Boruto and Shinki manage to slip away from Urashiki, but escaping him completely proves to be difficult.

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 and Shinki bring Shukaku to Hidden Leaf Village. Upon arriving at the Uzumaki home, Himawari is completely taken with him, but Shukaku finds the entire situation irritating. When told about the day Naruto became the Seventh Hokage—and how Himawari hurt Naruto and Kurama—Shukaku comes up with an idea.

Boruto becomes fascinated by Jiraiya, Naruto's former mentor. Inspired to train, he goes to Sasuke's house, where Sarada mentions Jiraiya's novel. Convinced that reading the novel is the fastest way to learn about Jiraiya, the search for Make-Out Tactics begins!

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 Sasuke end up staying in the Hidden Leaf under the watchful eyes of Naruto and Jiraiya. At first, Boruto feels uncomfortable being with Naruto, but gradually warms up to him. Meanwhile, a group of genin—Sakura, Hinata, and Neji—are summoned for duty along with their chunin leader, Shikamaru. Boruto and Naruto head to the designated meeting place and find something unexpected.

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.

At Jiraiya’s suggestion, Boruto and Naruto train to synchronize their chakra, but this turns out to be more difficult than expected. Boruto then runs into Neji and decides to talk to him. Sasuke, upon seeing a discouraged Naruto, is unable to ignore him.

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.

Another intense battle begins for Boruto, Sasuke and Jiraiya as they try to defend Naruto from Urashiki. Sasuke protects Naruto, allowing Boruto and Jiraiya to barely escape with him.

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!

The battle against Urashiki is over, and it's time for Boruto and Sasuke to return to the place where they rightfully belong. Boruto is wistful about leaving Jiraiya and Naruto. Suddenly, Jiraiya makes a request to Sasuke.

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's grandfather Hiashi's birthday is approaching and there's going to be a small family celebration. Boruto is chosen to select a birthday present, but he doesn't know what will please his grandfather, so he visits the Hyuga household and sneakily gathers information.

Enko Onikuma—one of Boruto's former classmates and a member of Team 40— was possessed by a Summoning Beast as a child. Now, she can manifest its enormous power. But lately, she hasn't been able to control her power, hindering her work on missions. Meanwhile, Ibiki Morino approaches Enko and tells her that she'll be working under him going forward.

Inojin approaches his parents about mastering the Mind Transfer Jutsu. Cho-Cho agrees to assist and everything is set for training to begin. With his father Sai observing, Inojin starts training with Ino. But due to his lack of confidence, Inojin's unable to execute the jutsu, which ends up irritating his mother.

Hozuki Castle is a prison run by the Hidden Grass, well known for being notoriously difficult to escape from. Boruto and Mitsuki are sent there to protect Kokuri, a former member of a brutal band of robbers known as the Mujina Gang who's now targeted by assassins after betraying and deserting the gang.

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.

It is discovered that a wooden tag used to prevent unauthorized entry into the medical unit has been stolen, and the prison guards begin a search for the culprit. Until the offender is found, all prisoners are locked in their cells. Once the culprit is found, each of their cellmates will be forced into solitary confinement. If this happens and the team becomes separated from Kokuri, their mission could be jeopardized.

Boruto and the others can't help but feel that Kokuri is hiding something from them. Meanwhile, Tsukiyo, a lieutenant in the Mujina Gang who's also imprisoned in Hozuki Castle, schemes to get Kokuri transferred to Hozuki Castle II, where his henchmen lie in wait.

Boruto and Mitsuki worry that their mission is in jeopardy, since Kokuri is scheduled to be transferred to Hozuki Castle II. They decide to escape with Kokuri before he's moved. As they discuss their strategy with Sarada, their cellmate Kedama overhears them

The clock ticks down to the rendezvous time for the escape, but there's no word from Sarada. If they miss this chance, everything will be ruined. Boruto puts his faith in Sarada and proceeds as planned with Mitsuki and Kokuri. Meanwhile, Sarada's lost consciousness from falling to the underground level of Hozuki Castle.

Boruto and the team are waiting for the escape boat when Tsukiyo appears. Boruto and his team fight desperately in order to protect Kokuri, but they're tormented by Tsukiyo's jutsu as time threatens to run out on their prison break!

Boruto has a dream about the day he defeated Momoshiki Otsutsuki. It ends up bothering him so much that he can't focus on his mission. He then meets Tento, the son of Ikkyu Madoka—the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire—who’s in the Hidden Leaf for a meeting with the Hokage.

Boruto's new mission is to guard Tento, who is obsessed with ninja and collecting X Cards. He begs Boruto to teach him ninja skills, and Boruto thinks this will be a good opportunity to knock some sense into Tento. Meanwhile, the Mujina Gang, which had been laying low after Team 7’s infiltration mission at Hozuki Castle, rears its ugly head.

After completing his mission to guard Tento, Boruto is assigned a new B-rank mission with Sarada and Mitsuki. Boruto is excited to start but he finds the rare X Card that he had wanted in his pocket. Realizing that this was from Tento, he goes to their hotel and learns that Tento's life is in danger.

Boruto rushes to save Tento, but Shojoji the leader of the Mujina Gang blocks his way. Boruto dodges to protect Tento, but Shojoji and his Corpse Clone Jutsu prove to be too powerful. In the midst of all this, the mark on Boruto's palm reacts and paralyzes him.

A training class on Medical Ninjutsu is to be held, and each team must send a representative. Sarada is chosen for Team 7. Despite Sakura being a Medical Ninjutsu specialist, Sarada doesn't have a knack for it and being a participant fills her with anxiety.

Tsubaki, Sumire’s replacement on Team 15, is proud of her samurai upbringing and is highly skilled, but her team’s overall mission performance is lackluster. Tsubaki devises a plan to hone her team’s skills, where they fight for who performs best on missions.

Himawari attends the Ninja Academy's trial session where participants get a taste of ninja training. Himawari’s already decided to become a ninja, which annoys Norimaki and Edo, who criticize her for being there just for fun. Things become uncomfortable when they're assigned to the same team.

One rainy night, guided by Mikazuki the cat, Mitsuki rescues an injured man. Mysteriously, Mikazuki seems to take a liking to the man who says he’s come to visit his sister who works in the Leaf Village. Soon after, Team 7 is assigned to back up the Leaf Police Force on a security mission. Their client is a president of a company who is being targeted by a serial killer known as "The Rainy Day Killer.

Cho-Cho and Choji go to the sweet shop after their training session, only to be disappointed that they are unusually out of azuki bean sweets. After hearing thieves have been raiding the deliveries, Cho-Cho plans to team up with Anko Mitarashi, her friend in desserts and beloved Ninja Academy instructor, to protect the azuki beans that she loves, and capture the bandits!

Using intel obtained from Shojoji the leader of the Mujina Gang, Sai and Sasuke journey to the Hidden Rain Village to find a location thought to be the hideout of an organization known as "Kara, the Husk.

Boruto and Team 7 are tasked with a mission to find a missing researcher of a medical equipment company in a distant nation. Mugino, a jonin who has a keen sense of location, comes on board to guide and assist Team 7. Without wasting any time, Boruto and the team start their mission with Mugino.

Boruto and the team finally find the missing researcher. Despite his resistance, the team is determined to take him back safely to their client.

Leaving Mitsuki in the care of Yubina, a doctor and friend of Mugino, Boruto and the others go to a black market in the Land of Silence, a dangerous and lawless gathering place for disgraced ninja. Team 7 make it to a shop located in the most dangerous district whose owner knows all the latest news. After a scuffle with the bodyguards, the team finally gets ready to ask the shopkeeper for information.

The Hashirama Cell was extracted from the body of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, and depending on how it is handled, its power to stimulate life energy to explosive proportions makes it extremely dangerous. Boruto and the others learn that the cell is in the hands of a wealthy individual who lives in Fushuu Castle, and plan on retrieving it. But there are others who are after it as well.

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!

Team 7 and Mugino manage to evade the gang and continue their pursuit of the culprits. But on the way they encounter a squad of skilled ninja and the situation turns explosive. Amidst the tension they learn intel about the culprits, so the team set out in pursuit, but their way is blocked by Deepa.

Boruto and the team finally catch up to the real thieves, two ninja brothers from the Land of Kasumi. Yuga uses a Forbidden Jutsu to summon a monster, and seals it and the team inside a strong barrier. Naruto insists on defeating it and getting out of the barrier. But Mugino argues that unnecessary fighting should be avoided since they don't know how to counter this special jutsu.

Boruto and the others manage to escape Yuuga's barrier, but this time his younger brother Hiruga gets in their way. Like Yuuga, Hiruga will resort to any method to fulfill his mission and uses his jutsu to seal away Boruto and the others. As Boruto tries to break the jutsu, he’s baffled by their rabid fighting style and their willingness to risk their lives.

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.

Boruto and Sarada begin intensive training after experiencing defeat. Boruto wants to make his Rasengan even stronger and seeks out Kakashi. Sarada is mentored by her father, Sasuke, in the use of her Sharingan. Meanwhile, Konohamaru and Mugino have been authorized to visit Victor's company in order to investigate his motives.

Shikadai, Inojin, and Cho-Cho's Team 10 is assigned to a joint mission with Shinki, Yodo, and Araya from the Hidden Sand. The mission is to find and retrieve an Otsutsuki Puppet that Shikadai had once fought. Team 10 arrives in the Land of Wind and decide to stop at a certain shop. On their way, a man passes them who piques Shikadai's interest. Upon arriving, a chilling scene confronts the trio.

Shikadai comes to see Boruto in the midst of training and witnesses his friend's determination to break through his slump. Shikadai, who also experienced Deepa's frightening power, tells Boruto that a rematch with Deepa would be reckless. Boruto explains his real reason for wanting to become stronger, and asks for Shikadai’s help. Meanwhile, Sarada trains with Sasuke to hone her Sharingan, but Sakura worries about her well-being.

Under Kakashi's watchful eye, Boruto succeeds in powering up his own style of Rasengan. And he demonstrates his progress in a battle against an opponent of Kakashi’s choosing. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Sakura switch places to train their daughter. With firm resolve, Boruto and Sarada continue their training and begin to see the results of their hard work.

Iwabe, Denki and Metal pay a visit to Boruto after he lands in the hospital from overtraining. There, they meet Nattou Nishiki, a young boy who is also a patient. Rambunctious and brash, Nattou easily manipulates the three into getting him an autograph from a certain ninja feared by everyone!

Konohamaru and Mugino continue keeping their eye on Victor's company. They receive intel that the Feudal Lord of the Land of Valleys will be touring the company, giving them the opportunity to check the inner reaches of the secretive facility. Meanwhile, Boruto and Sarada complete their training and visit the woman who requested their previous mission.

Boruto and Sarada rush to Victor's research lab where they find a horrifying plant stealing the chakra of the people near it. As they work with Konohamaru to try to bring it under control, Deepa appears!

Separated from Boruto and Sarada, Konohamaru battles Victor. But someone unexpected shows up to fight alongside him. Meanwhile, Boruto and Sarada are trying to defeat Deepa to even the score, but he still proves to be a formidable opponent despite all of their training.

Konohamaru and his teammates report their findings that the Kara receives outside assistance from people called Outers, and that these Outers may have covertly infiltrated the Five Great Shinobi Nations. Though Naruto feels that, as Hokage, he is responsible for protecting the village, he is unable to decide on a course of action.

The Yamanaka Clan, who have been tracking the village’s ingoing and outgoing traffic with their advanced sensory abilities, spearheads a plan to create a new sensory system and an operational test is conducted.

The mysterious organization known as the Kara is about to take one of their plans to the next stage that involves a crucial item called a “Vessel.” However, having his own ambitions, Victor secretly panics as he tries to keep his true objectives hidden from Jigen, leader of the Kara, and the other core members

Boruto, Sarada and Mitsuki are assigned to carry out Team 7’s missions by themselves until Konohamaru returns from an unexpected assignment. Boruto runs into Mugino in town and ends up going to his home at Mugino’s invitation.

Son of Naruto Uzumaki, Boruto, follows his father's footsteps along with his friends to become great ninja. Throughout all their adventures, Boruto is determined to make his mark in the ninja world and live outside of his father's shadow.

After the Chunin Exams, Katasuke has returned to work at the invitation of the Hokage. Upon seeing him, Boruto becomes annoyed thinking about what happened during the exam. Team 7 is given a mission to escort Katasuke and transport a Scientific Ninja Tool. Stuck on a mission he doesn’t like, Boruto runs into Ao while aboard the Thunder Train headed to their destination.

Team 7 has arrived at a high-tech research center along with Katasuke. There, they end up running into some familiar faces. The mission has ended without incident, and Boruto is ready to head home. However, there’s more they must do. Boruto and his friends end up cooperating in a test-run of a Scientific Ninja Tool that is under development. Boruto is unhappy at first, but as the test run continues his feelings start to change. As that happens, Team 7 is given a new urgent assignment from the Hokage.

After finding out that Konohamaru and Mugino have gone missing, Team 7 is ordered to go to their last known location and investigate what happened. Team 7 and Katasuke arrive at the airship wreckage, but are attacked by strange puppets.

Ao è diventato ostile. Per sfuggire ai suoi attacchi, Mugino tenta una strategia rischiosa, che permette a Boruto e agli altri di fuggire. Boruto e i suoi amici sono scioccati dagli eventi che si sono svolti, ma poi Katasuke confessa qualcosa di ancora più scioccante. Nel frattempo, dopo aver permesso a Boruto e agli altri di fuggire, Ao viene visitato da Koji Kashin, un membro di Kara, l'Husk.

Inizia la resa dei conti tra il Team 7 e Ao! Il Team 7 lavora insieme per lanciare una raffica di attacchi, ma contrastare l'uso abile degli Strumenti Ninja Scientifici da parte di Ao non sarà facile. Proprio mentre sembrano averlo messo alle strette, Ao rivela la sua arma più grande.

Mentre Boruto e i suoi amici finiscono la loro battaglia con Ao, appare Koji Kashin, un membro di Kara! Koji li lega con un Sealing Jutsu e cerca di eliminarli e completare la sua missione, ma Konohamaru dissipa il jutsu e lo affronta uno contro uno!

Koji mostra interesse per la trasformazione di Boruto e si ritira, e Boruto e i suoi amici decidono di tornare al villaggio. Sulla via del ritorno, scoprono un ragazzo incosciente che ha lo stesso strano segno sul palmo della mano di Boruto.

La battaglia tra Garo, un Esterno, e Kawaki, noto anche come la Nave, ha inizio! L'intero corpo di Garo è dotato di strumenti ninja scientifici e Kawaki è in grado di trasformare il suo braccio in varie forme. Boruto e i suoi amici sono senza parole. Mentre la battaglia infuria, Kawaki viene gradualmente sopraffatto e catturato.

Il team torna all'Advanced Technology Lab con Kawaki. Konohamaru è tornato al villaggio per riferire sulla missione. Naruto, preoccupato per la relazione tra Kawaki e Kara, decide di andare in laboratorio.

Kawaki fugge dall'Advanced Technology Lab e si ritrova in un vivace quartiere dello shopping. Esausto e affamato, cerca disperatamente cibo. Sumire e Nue lo trovano, e Sumire esprime la sua preoccupazione per il suo infortunio, ma Kawaki continua ad essere ostile.

Kawaki crolla ed è tormentato dagli incubi della sua infanzia. Da bambino, Kawaki ha sopportato un padre violento, fino a quando un giorno un uomo è apparso davanti a lui, nientemeno che Jigen, il leader di Kara.

I Cinque Kage accettano di mettere Kawaki sotto la custodia di Naruto. Naruto porta Kawaki a casa, ma si rifiuta ancora di aprirsi a nessuno. L'atmosfera tra Boruto e Kawaki, che si sono combattuti prima, diventa minacciosa.

Kawaki inizia a vivere nella famiglia Uzumaki, e all'inizio è sconcertato dalla loro pacifica vita quotidiana. Alla fine viene messo a suo agio dall'atmosfera allegra e accogliente degli Uzumakis. Nel frattempo, Boruto è furioso perché Kawaki ha rotto un vaso che la sua sorellina aveva fatto per la loro madre, alimentando le fiamme tra di loro. Come compagno detentore del Karma, Kawaki fa una proposta.

Kawaki va in città con Naruto per ottenere un nuovo vaso per sostituire quello che ha rotto. Sulla strada per il negozio di fiori Yamanaka, sono raggiunti da Sarada. Non abituato alla pacifica vita di tutti i giorni, scatta ai tentativi di Sarada di parlargli e quasi attacca un bambino per averlo urtato.

Kawaki guarda una partita di shinobi corpo a corpo tra Naruto e Boruto. Boruto usa la sua specialità, il Clone Ombra Jutsu, per affrontare suo padre, ma lotta. Dopo aver visto questo, Kawaki dice a Boruto di usare il potere del suo Karma. Nel frattempo, Kawaki si interessa al Jutsu Shadow Clone che Naruto e Boruto amano usare.

Per gestire meglio i loro Karma, Boruto e Kawaki decidono di allenarsi in condizioni più realistiche. Mentre Naruto e Himawari guardano, attivano i loro Karma e si confrontano l'un l'altro. Nel frattempo, Delta si unisce a Koji Kashin, che sta ancora inseguendo Kawaki. In qualche modo, Koji è in grado di intrufolarsi nel villaggio senza innescare il sistema sensoriale della Foglia Nascosta. Delta non ha altra scelta che aspettare il suo ritorno. Ma quando lui non torna, lei esaurisce la pazienza.

Delta si fa strada nel Villaggio della Foglia per riprendere Kawaki e appare davanti a Boruto e agli altri. Naruto la affronta per proteggere Boruto, Himawari e Kawaki. Attacca Naruto con strumenti ninja scientifici che sono stati impiantati nel suo corpo pesantemente modificato. In risposta, Naruto scatena il potere delle Nove Code, e ne consegue un feroce scontro!

Delta usa il suo raggio distruttivo in grado di neutralizzare qualsiasi potere rigenerativo. Imperterrito, Naruto lo sopprime con forza con un Rasengan gigante. Poi alza il potere del suo jutsu e lo spinge verso Delta. Sfortunatamente, Delta è stato dotato di strumenti ninja scientifici ed è in grado di assorbire qualsiasi jutsu, non importa quanto potente... Quale sarà l'esito di questa battaglia?!

Dopo aver perso il braccio in battaglia, a Kawaki viene dato un braccio protesico alimentato dal chakra di Naruto. Imparando a conoscere i poteri e le capacità dell'uso del chakra, Kawaki chiede a Naruto di essere addestrato nel ninjutsu.

Kurama appare davanti a Kawaki e gli racconta del passato di Naruto. Sentendo che hanno esperienze simili, Kawaki aspira ad essere come Naruto e rafforza la sua determinazione ad allenarsi per essere in grado di sconfiggere Jigen.

Usando la tecnica di trasporto, Sasuke arriva in una strana posizione coperta da misteriose iscrizioni. Lì trova molte cose sorprendenti sul clan Otsutsuki. Nel frattempo, Boro, uno dei leader dei Kara, ha usato pubblicamente i suoi misteriosi poteri per guarire i malati. Dice alle persone che si sono riunite che ha un modo per tutti di raggiungere la felicità.

Il Karma di Kawaki inizia ad agire e Jigen, il leader dei Kara, appare davanti a lui! Non solo Naruto e Kawaki sono sorpresi, ma anche Koji Kashin, che aveva segretamente tenuto d'occhio Kawaki. Jigen cerca di riprendere Kawaki con la forza. Dopo aver visto questo, Naruto combatte Jigen per proteggere Kawaki! Inizia finalmente uno scontro diretto tra Naruto, il Settimo Hokage, e Jigen, il leader dei Kara!

Naruto è stato trascinato in una dimensione diversa da Jigen. Lì incontra Sasuke, che gli dice che Jigen è una persona pericolosa e che devono fare tutto il necessario per sconfiggerlo immediatamente. Naruto e Sasuke lavorano insieme per sconfiggere Jigen in una feroce battaglia, ma lottano contro le avanzate abilità di combattimento di Jigen e il misterioso jutsu. Nel frattempo, Boruto riceve una cattiva premonizione quando il suo Karma inizia a recitare, e così torna rapidamente a casa con Mitsuki. Kawaki e Sarada sono lì, preoccupati per la sicurezza di Naruto.

Con l'improvvisa apparizione del nemico, Naruto, il Settimo Hokage e leader del villaggio, è scomparso. Shikamaru, l'aiutante dell'Hokage, sente che questa è una situazione grave e visita la famiglia Uzumaki con un gruppo di subordinati. Incapace di scartare la possibilità che Kawaki sia una spia per Kara, è sospettoso di Kawaki e decide di metterlo agli arresti domiciliari all'interno di una barriera per il momento. Tuttavia, Boruto si infastidisce con l'atteggiamento di Shikamaru e si scaglia. Mentre ciò accade, Kawaki percepisce il legame chakra che ha con Naruto attraverso il suo braccio protesico!

Attraverso la fessura della stanza, Boruto, Kawaki, Sarada e Mitsuki entrano nella dimensione in cui si trova il Naruto sigillato. È sorvegliato da Boro, che è anche lui dopo Kawaki. Si svolge una battaglia tempestosa.

Boruto, Mitsuki, Kawaki e Sarada sono scioccati dalle capacità rigenerative di Boro. Cercano disperatamente un modo per distruggerlo. Poi Kawaki ha un'idea. Il loro nemico ha un nucleo nel corpo che devono solo trovare e distruggere.

Nonostante abbia subito gravi danni dal nuovo Team 7, Boro va su tutte le furie, minacciando Boruto e gli altri di annientamento totale. Improvvisamente, Boruto si risveglia, ma la sua coscienza è stata presa da Momoshiki Otsutsuki! Mentre Sarada, Mitsuki e Kawaki guardano scioccati, il resuscitato Momoshiki mostra un enorme potere.

Ansioso per quello che è successo a Boruto e a se stesso, e per il pericolo che il Karma pone, Kawaki inizia a preoccuparsi che la sua presenza metta a rischio hidden Leaf Village, soprattutto perché Kara lo sta inseguendo.

Anche dopo gli incontri con i vice di Jigen, The Leaf sa poco di Kara. Per saperne di più sulla connessione di Boro con Kara, Konohamaru e Sai hanno il compito di infiltrarsi nel suo culto.

Qualcuno ha rubato dati sul Ninja Foglia. Con nulla di insolito trovato nel sistema di sorveglianza, si sospetta che una spia possa essere stata piantata all'interno del villaggio. Dopo averlo scoperto, Shikadai, Cho-Cho e Inojin iniziano a cercare il colpevole da soli.

Amado, un membro principale di Kara che ha supervisionato la loro ricerca e sviluppo, rapisce Shikadai e cerca asilo nel Villaggio della Foglia. In cambio, promette di dire loro tutto ciò che sa. Sebbene sia qualcuno di cui non possono fidarsi, con la vita di Shikadai in gioco l'Hokage viene personalmente coinvolto nella trattativa. Tornati al nascondiglio di Kara, Koji Kashin e Jigen si scontrano, ognuno cercando di scoprire quale sia il motivo dell'altro.

In cambio della concessione di asilo nel Villaggio Nascosto tra le Foglie, Amado rivela tutto ciò che sa. Amado e Koji Kashin hanno lavorato insieme per abbattere Jigen. Dice a tutti che la vera identità di Jigen è Isshiki Otsutsuki, che ha accompagnato Kaguya Otsutsuki nel loro mondo secoli fa. Continua spiegando il Karma, il marchio che affligge Boruto e Kawaki.

La battaglia tra Koji Kashin e Jigen inizia nel nascondiglio di Kara. Se Jigen riacquista il potere del Clan Otsutsuki, sarà impossibile contrastarlo. Prima che ciò accada, Kashin cerca di trascinare fuori Isshiki, che ha preso il controllo del corpo di Jigen usando una raffica di tecniche attentamente ideate per distruggerlo. Attraverso lo strumento che Amado usa, Naruto e gli altri sono in grado di guardare la battaglia da Leaf Village. Finalmente, il piano di Koji funziona e il loro nemico più forte e malvagio, Isshiki Otsutsuki, appare! Allo stesso tempo, Naruto e il gruppo assistono al fenomeno causato dallo shock al Karma di Kawaki.

Isshiki appare finalmente nella sua vera forma e va ad attaccare il Villaggio della Foglia Nascosta per catturare Kawaki, che diventerà la sua nuova nave. Naruto e Sasuke, gli unici che sono in grado di affrontare il superumano clan Otsutsuki, iniziano i preparativi. Boruto non può rimanere inattivo e vuole combattere al fianco di Naruto e Sasuke. Tuttavia, è ansioso per il suo Karma, preoccupato di ciò che accadrà se Momoshiki riprenderà la sua coscienza.

Boruto trascina Isshiki in un'altra dimensione per una resa dei conti finale. Naruto e Sasuke li seguono. Boruto, Naruto e Sasuke combattono per proteggere Kawaki e il loro villaggio da Isshiki, che ha il potere di manipolare le dimensioni. Coloro che sono rimasti nel villaggio possono solo pregare per il loro ritorno sicuro. Nel frattempo, Amado dice a Kawaki e Shikamaru che Boruto ha la chiave per vincere questa battaglia.

Naruto e Sasuke combattono ferocemente, ma i loro sforzi sono vani mentre Isshiki li spinge in un angolo. Boruto prende misure disperate per farli uscire, ma non ha successo. Proprio quando sembra che siano fuori dalle opzioni, Naruto si alza, emettendo un'incredibile quantità di chakra. Secondo Kurama, questa è la sua ultima risorsa, che gli dà un potere immenso a un grande costo. Naruto inizia il suo contrattacco su Isshiki. Cambia completamente le carte in tavola su Isshiki, travolgendolo. Tuttavia, Isshiki realizza qualcosa all'ultimo minuto e tira fuori Kawaki dal Villaggio della Foglia!

Naruto e gli altri sono esausti dalla loro battaglia con Isshiki. Improvvisamente, Boruto attacca Sasuke. Momoshiki ha preso il controllo della coscienza di Boruto e si trova davanti a loro come un nemico. Kawaki chiama disperatamente Boruto per farlo uscire. Sfortunatamente, le sue parole non sono in grado di raggiungerlo. Sasuke dice a Kawaki un modo per riportare la coscienza di Boruto. Per salvare Boruto, Kawaki tenta un piano rischioso usando un jutsu che ha imparato solo di recente. Mentre Kawaki e Sasuke combattono una battaglia disperata, Naruto alla fine esaurisce le forze. Mentre la sua coscienza svanisce, lui e Kurama ricordano tranquillamente il loro passato.

Terminata la loro battaglia contro Isshiki, Boruto e gli altri tornano al villaggio. Grazie al loro lavoro, la sicurezza del villaggio è stata mantenuta. Boruto è terrorizzato dal fatto che Momoshiki ancora una volta ha preso il sopravvento sulla sua coscienza durante la battaglia. Nel frattempo, Amado fornisce alcune nuove informazioni riguardanti Code, i cui poteri superano Jigen. Mentre ciò accade, qualcosa appare davanti a Code, che ha vegliato sull'immatura Bestia a Dieci Code in possesso di Kara!

La lotta contro Isshiki è finita e lentamente la normalità ritorna a Konoha. Tuttavia, la perdita di Kurama pesa molto. Naruto discute la situazione attuale e la possibile resurrezione di Momoshiki con gli altri quattro Kage.

Naruto, propone che l'esame Chunin venga tenuto per sollevare il morale dopo l'attacco di Isshiki. Tutti sono eccitati per l'esame, desiderosi di mostrare i risultati del loro addestramento e l'esperienza che hanno acquisito dalle missioni.

Viene annunciato il round finale dell'esame Chunin. Molti dei compagni di classe di Boruto che non sono avanzati alla fase finale dell'ultimo esame ce l'hanno fatta questa volta. Inoltre, le regole dell'esame sono cambiate: l'uso di strumenti ninja scientifici di tua creazione è ora consentito!

La fase finale degli esami è finalmente iniziata. La prima partita è Inojin contro Houki. Il team di Houki ha partecipato alle missioni di Anbu Black Ops. Per questo motivo, le loro abilità sono sconosciute. Nel frattempo, Boruto e Mitsuki notano alcune persone sospette mentre si recano al sito dell'esame, e decidono invece di seguirle.

La prossima partita nei turni finali è tra Iwabe e Wasabi. I due odiano perdere e tendono a scontrarsi tra loro, ma Iwabe viene buttato via da Wasabi, che sembra insolitamente low-key.

Inizia la partita tra Sarada e Cho-Cho. Kawaki è stato invitato da Naruto ad osservare, così come Shinki e altri che sono venuti dal Villaggio di Sabbia Nascosto. Chi uscirà vittorioso in una battaglia tra migliori amici?!
