Years later after the Fourth Great Ninja War, now overseeing a new generation in the Ninja World , Naruto Uzumaki achieves his dream of becoming the Seventh Hokage after he and Hinata Hyuga have a family of their own, their two children Boruto and Himawari Uzumaki . Boruto has become part of a ninja team led by Naruto's protege Konohamaru Sarutobi , which also consists of
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno 's daughter Sarada Uchiha and Orochimaru 's artificial son Mitsuki . Feeling that his father is placing his Hokage duties over his family, upset that he missed Himawari's birthday, Boruto meets Sasuke when he comes to the village to warn Naruto of an impending threat. Boruto manages to convince Sasuke to teach him his father's Rasengan for the upcoming Chunin Exam. But Boruto's need for his father's attention drives him to cheat using the prototype Kote device that Katasuke created, only for his father to disqualify him during his match with Shikadai Nara ,
Shikamaru and Temari's son. The two have an argument until Momoshiki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, the figures Sasuke warned Naruto of, appear and abduct the Hokage so they can use Kurama to revitalize the dying Shinju from the dimension which they came from.
Seeing his father risking his life to protect everyone, Boruto realizes he was wrong about Naruto, and convinces Sasuke and the Five Kage to take him with them to make amends with his father. They arrive in the other dimension and find Naruto as the battle commences before Momoshiki turns Kinshiki into a chakra pill that he ingests to increase his strength, overpowering everyone due to Katasuke's interference. As Sasuke distracts Momoshiki, a weakened Naruto lends his remaining chakra to Boruto so his son can kill Momoshiki with a giant Rasengan. Though dying, noting his killer's untapped potential, Momoshiki lives long enough to have a private discussion with Boruto and warns him that he soon will face much tribulation later on in his life. Without knowing what the future holds for him, Boruto accepts his fate.
