With
Naruto as the Seventh Hokage, Hidden Leaf Village is planning to host
the Chunin Exams to train new shinobi from the village and from five of
their allied villages. Among the entrants are Sasuke's daughter, Sarada,
who adores Naruto, Mitsuki, an exceptionally talented yet mysterious
shinobi… And Boruto, Naruto's son who shows great potential, but
despises his father.
Sasuke,
who’s been on a mission, appears before Naruto to warn of a strange
impending danger he has sensed. Shrouded with an evil aura, Momoshiki
and Kinshiki appear during the Exams and attempt to weaken and kidnap
Naruto. Boruto is petrified and unable to do a thing while Sasuke guards
him. As Naruto steps in front to shield them, he smiles faintly and
disappears in front of Boruto.
