The Uzumaki Family's Hot Springs Vacation

The Uzumaki reach a hot springs inn for a relaxing getaway, and Boruto teases that Kawaki might be spooked by the rumour of a resident ghost. Back in Konoha, Mirai stops by the Hokage's office to find Shikamaru buried under Naruto's paperwork, who explains the family landed the trip through a raffle. Mirai recognises the place as the same inn she once visited with Guy and Kakashi, remembering the ghost tale attached to it.

Boruto and Kawaki spot a fresh gash cut into one of the inn's statues before the hostess shows them to their room. After eating, a round of ping-pong leaves Boruto exasperated at how badly Kawaki grasps the basics, and Naruto and Hinata edge out the two boys through sharper teamwork while Himawari keeps score.

A lavish dinner leads into a trip to the baths, where Boruto and Kawaki linger long past everyone else, each stubbornly trying to outlast the other. Naruto keeps losing memory games to Himawari, and Boruto drags Kawaki off to join a stamp hunt around the inn. The ghost shadows them as they gather stamps, though Kawaki keeps exposing the tricks behind each scare and needling Boruto about them, and their reward turns out to be a commemorative photo.

Furious at being left out of the hunt, Himawari flares her Byakugan until Boruto apologises and prods Kawaki to do the same, and they all pose together for the picture. Kawaki admits he is glad he came, and Naruto tells him the family already counts him as one of their own.

Even after everyone turns in for the night, the ghost keeps trailing Boruto and Kawaki, who are troubled by bad dreams. Only when they check out the next day and look at the developed photo do they realise the figure lurking behind them is the very same presence from their nightmares. This lighthearted entry from the Boruto anime pairs the family holiday with a gentle supernatural twist.
