The Hidden Leaf Village is located within the Land of Fire, one of the Five Great Shinobi Nations. Boruto Uzumaki lives here and he's the son of the village leader, Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage. One day, Boruto saves a boy named Denki Kaminarimon, who's being picked on. Denki is physically weak, so he is unable to stand up to the bullies. On his way to the entrance ceremony at the Ninja Academy, Boruto sees Denki again. He notices that his chakra is warped and that he is acting strangely.

Tsurushi Hachiya, Kagura's former classmate at the Academy, finds Boruto and his friends from the Leaf irritating, so he kidnaps Denki. Kagura and Boruto set out to rescue him, and they find themselves in a battle against Hachiya and his crew. During the fight, the truth that Kagura has been hiding is revealed!

Naruto falls ill, and Sasuke goes to the Tatar Observatory to try to find a cure.

Boruto makes a desperate decision to prevent Momoshiki from taking over his consciousness again. Meanwhile, Kawaki drives back Code using the Karma that Amado revived. Willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate anyone who is a threat to Naruto, Kawaki fights with overwhelming power. Shikamaru is shocked by his strength, and Code learns the difference in their powers. Boruto and Kawaki have overcome various obstacles as brothers, but a troubling shadow begins to loom over their relationship. As Momoshiki once said, the fateful moment that will take everything from Boruto is approaching!
