Summary

Over the radio, Konohamaru feeds instructions to Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki, though Boruto's focus keeps slipping, a lapse Sarada points out and he waves off. His thoughts remain fixed on an earlier talk with Sasuke about the strange new mark on his hand and the frozen instant when Momoshiki addressed him, a moment Sasuke had managed to sense through his Rinnegan. Sasuke had warned that such events were anything but ordinary, urged the boy to stay watchful and flag any change, and vowed to look into the matter himself.

A news broadcast then reports a heist at the Konoha Bank. One of the culprits, a member of the Mujina Bandits, is snatched up by Mitsuki's stretching arm before he can bolt. Sarada trades a quick flurry with a second thief and drops him, unimpressed by the whole group, only for a third to sneer that she is nothing beside their leader.

Key Events

The last bandit lunges, and although Sarada blocks the strike, a concealed poisoned blade springs out and she strains to hold it back while he brags about delivering her body to his boss. Boruto barrels in with a kick, startled to find her struggling at all. Outnumbered, the thief flees and vanishes behind a smoke bomb. Sarada explains the escape is intentional, since shadowing him should uncover the leader, but Boruto, who never bothered to hear the plan, refuses to let him get clear and finishes him off with a Rasengan, much to her irritation. She chews him out for ruining the scheme, though Boruto is already eager to go meet Shikadai, and Konohamaru still rates the outing a success despite the botched tactic.

At the Hokage's office, Ibiki informs Naruto that Katasuke had been steered by an outside party and is now shaken to the core over the acts he committed under that control, which included leaking details about the Kote. Naruto keeps Ibiki and Sai on the investigation while Shikamaru handles Katasuke, and Mirai reports that Team Konohamaru rounded up all three Mujina Bandits inside the village, though their Bingo Book leader Shojoji was absent among them. Shikamaru then reminds a forgetful Naruto of his scheduled sit-down with the Land of Fire's daimyō.

Riding toward Konoha, the daimyō's son Tentō proudly flashes a trading card bearing a young Naruto, and his father, heading into the meeting, leaves the boy in his chauffeur's care. On learning of a three-pack purchase limit, the pampered Tentō simply decides to buy out the whole shop. Elsewhere Boruto, Shikadai, and Inojin tear open fresh packs, with Boruto groaning over pulling yet another rare card of his father and buying more in hopes of a specific one, while a baffled Sarada cannot grasp the obsession. Metal Lee soon arrives with a summons, and at the Hokage Mansion Konohamaru presents Boruto to Tentō, who looks down on the plain clothes he assumed a Hokage's son would upgrade. Konohamaru assigns Boruto to protect the boy over the coming days while the daimyō attends a conference; despite an instant dislike and an open urge to clobber the brat, Boruto is told the daimyō asked for him by name and that putting up with such trials is part of a shinobi's life.
