Boruto, Shikadai and Mitsuki arrive at the location they are told to go to by Shino. They notice their teacher is acting different than he usually does— and Shino suddenly attacks them! Shino belongs to the Aburame clan, a clan of Insect Users. He unleashes a swarm of Parasitic Insects. Boruto and the others can't match the skill of someone who's a jonin. But even in this situation, Mitsuki remains calm and coldly stares at Shino.

Boruto and his classmates head to the Village Hidden in the Mist in the Land of Water for a field trip. Kagura Karatachi is chosen as the village guide. About the same age as Boruto, Kagura is already an accomplished shinobi and serves as an aide to the Mizukage, Chojuro. Once known as the Blood Mist Village, it's now more modern and bustling than anyone could have imagined. However, dissatisfaction exists among some Hidden Mist Shinobi.
