The Scientific Ninja Tool

Boruto sharpens his shuriken skills with Sasuke, who lets Konohamaru know he has taken the boy on. Konohamaru notes how differently Boruto regards him compared to his own father, and Sasuke thanks him for mentoring Sarada. When Boruto fishes for Naruto's weak points, Sasuke instead dwells on Naruto's history, which irritates the boy. Elsewhere the young ninja prepare for the coming Chunin Exams: Team 15 plots tactics, Team 10 spars with Temari, and she mentions that Gaara's adopted son will also compete.

Curious, Boruto tries out the Kote and marvels at how easily it launches his techniques, drilling with it as the various genin register for the exams.

In Kaguya's lava realm, Momoshiki and Kinshiki come up empty searching for more of her scrolls while Urashiki briefs them on how chakra has spread through the land she once oversaw. Naruto, Shikamaru, and Kakashi weigh recent White Zetsu sightings and Sasuke's brush with Otsutsuki clansmen. The invaders track down Killer B and siphon his chakra, and Urashiki recounts how Kaguya built living weapons only to be sealed away by her own children. Kinshiki then senses another vast source of chakra, and Shukaku warns Gaara that its link to Gyuki has been cut.

The chapter falls within the Versus Momoshiki Arc and retells material from Boruto: Naruto the Movie with notable additions. Trivia highlights that Urashiki now supplies the exposition about the tailed beasts and Earth's people, appears alongside Momoshiki and Kinshiki during the extraction of Gyuki, and that Shukaku directly warns Gaara of the severed connection, all beats absent from the film. The episode closes with Boruto readying the Kote for the exams.
