Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
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.
