Synopsis
Several years after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto Uzumaki has become the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure, which has grown into a large city with advanced technology, and the five ninja countries are at peace. However, Naruto is overwhelmed with the responsibilities of being Hokage and rarely spends time with his wife, Hinata and their children. His son, Boruto Uzumaki has recently become a Genin and has been teamed with Sarada Uchiha, the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha, and Mitsuki under Konohamaru Sarutobi. During a mission to capture a panda, Boruto shows off his newly mastered Shadow Clone Technique, but he is irritated when Konohamaru says that Boruto is likely to lose against Sarada, due to her Uchiha lineage, even though Boruto is the son of a Hokage. When they report to Naruto, who insists that Boruto address him as "The Seventh" rather than "Dad" in his office, Boruto argues with Naruto on how his father focuses more on his Hokage duties than their family. Before storming out, Boruto warns Naruto to be at Himawari's birthday party or else he will never forgive him. Sarada, whose dream is to become Hokage, scolds Boruto for not taking his training seriously and reminds him that the Chūnin Exams are coming up, even though Boruto has little interest in it. Then, Sarada gets in his face and comments how clear his eyes are, making him blush and then freak out when Mitsuki comes between them.

When Boruto learns that Naruto sent a shadow clone as a stand-in for Himawari's birthday party, Boruto lashed out at his mother for defending Naruto and then threw his father's old, tattered jacket out of the window in a fit of rage. Thinking Naruto was at the front door, Boruto was ready to punch him before he saw that it was Sasuke instead, who had returned to Konoha to warn Naruto of an impending threat he encountered in another dimension. Admiring Sasuke, Boruto asked the Uchiha to take him as his apprentice so he can defeat his father. Unimpressed, Sasuke asks him if he can master the Rasengan, which the boy tries and fails, and tells Boruto to come back to him once he learns the technique. Sasuke meets with Naruto to discuss a scroll he obtained from fighting the enemy and they discuss their childhood days and the new generation. As Sarada leaves home to meet with her father and Boruto, she teases her mother about being happy now that her father is back home, and Sakura insists that Sarada must be the happiest. After learning from Sarada that Sasuke is Naruto's rival, Boruto forces Konohamaru to teach him the Rasengan but he struggles with the training, which Sarada observes from afar. Eventually, with some persuasion from Sarada and learning that Boruto mastered the Rasengan, though his is small compared to his predecessors, Sasuke agrees to take Boruto under his wing. He teaches the boy Shurikenjutsu in preparation for the Chūnin Exams, and when Boruto asks about specifics of Naruto's weaknesses, Sasuke tells him that Naruto endured several hardships in his life and overcame them in order to become the Hokage he is now, but he threatens to leave Boruto in another dimension if the boy tells Naruto any of this.

When the Chūnin Exams commence, Boruto and his team excel in rounds one and two, which Sarada helps them win with the use of her Sharingan. Boruto is annoyed when he receives a congratulations from Naruto via email after winning the first round, but is happy and touched when his father personally congratulates him and voices his pride in him after the second round. Naruto initiates a fist bump but Boruto simply smiles. In the third round, Sarada easily defeats her opponent and gets embarrassed when her mother proudly cheers for her from the audience. Naruto sits with his wife and daughter rather than with the other Kage when his son is matched against Shikadai Nara. Boruto seemingly wins after Shikadai surrenders due to being trapped by Boruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. But Naruto senses something is wrong and, with the use of Hinata's Byakugan, deduces that Boruto used a forearm device that stores ninjutsu techniques. Disappointed, Naruto deems Shikadai the winner and disqualifies Boruto by taking away his forehead protector, and tells him they will talk about his cheating when they get home. Boruto lashes out that Naruto doesn't know how to lecture him when he is never home. As they argue, two figures appear: Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who is revealed to the person that attacked Sasuke. The two reveal that they intend to capture Kurama by kidnapping Naruto, and proceed to attack the arena, which creates chaos. Sasuke saves Sarada from falling debris and is attacked by Kinshiki. Boruto tries to attack Momoshiki with his device but all of his attacks end up getting absorbed through Momoshiki's Rinnegan, leaving him scared and defenseless. Naruto grabs his son as Shikamaru tries to restrain the two enemies but fails. Naruto and Sasuke team up to protect their children, and Sasuke relates his past encounter with Kinshiki and how the two enemies are the threat that is stronger than Kaguya. Sarada starts to panic over Momoshiki's monstrous strength and falls to her knees, prompting Boruto to decide to protect her, despite his own fear. Ultimately, Naruto sacrifices himself to protect Sasuke, Boruto, and Sarada from Momoshiki's jutsu and, before he disappears, he entrusts Boruto to Sasuke. Seeing the true powers of his father for the first time, Boruto falls unconscious.

When Boruto wakes up, he finds his mother being healed by Sakura after she tried to save his father. Feeling guilty for how badly he treated his father, Boruto finds his father's old uniform and wears it. Sensing that Naruto is still alive and in another dimension, Sasuke decides to use his Rinnegan to teleport himself to Naruto's location and rescue him. The four Kage ally with Sasuke in the mission to rescue Naruto. Seeing Boruto wearing Naruto's old uniform, Sasuke comments that Boruto looks as stupid as Naruto did in the uniform but then gives Boruto his former headband protector in replacement to the one Naruto took away. Sarada pleaded to go with them, but Sasuke refused to let his daughter get involved in such a dangerous battle. They arrive in the other dimension to find Naruto bound by the Ōtsutsuki pair, and the four Kage engage in battle against Kinshiki. After they fail to subdue him, Naruto and Sasuke fight him, but Momoshiki turns Kinshiki into a chakra pill and swallows him, which increases his strength. Sasuke saves Boruto from being killed by Momoshiki's attacks and Naruto reacts in anger when Sasuke is burned by Momoshiki but is relieved to find he is alright. Realizing their limited options against Momoshiki, Naruto lends his chakra to Boruto while Sasuke distracts Momoshiki long enough for Boruto to create a giant Rasengan. Boruto launches his attack on Momoshiki and destroys him, with his right arm severely burned as a consequence.

After the battle, Naruto and Sasuke have a friendly argument over who won this time. From this experience, Boruto and Naruto reconcile their differences. When asked by Sarada if he now wanted to be Hokage, Boruto tells her that he has decided to become a ninja like Sasuke, who protects the village and Hokage from the shadows. Because of this, Boruto says he supports Sarada's dream of being Hokage and promises that he will protect her no matter what, causing her to blush and this seemingly confirms they have romantic feelings for each other. Boruto then asks Mitsuki about his parentage, to which the latter replies he is the son of Orochimaru. Shocked, Sarada asks if Orochimaru is his mother or father while Boruto asks who Orochimaru is. Mitsuki says it doesn't matter, much to his team-mates' confusion. From afar, Sasuke and Sakura, both smiling, watch the children.

During the end credits, the scenes show the original characters with their children.
