Boruto Uzumaki, son of Seventh Hokage Naruto, grows up in a peaceful Hidden Leaf Village resenting his father's constant absence from home. Assigned to Team 7 under Konohamaru Sarutobi alongside Sarada Uchiha and the artificially created Mitsuki, Boruto enters the Chunin Exams determined to surpass his father on his own terms. The arrival of Momoshiki Otsutsuki, an extraterrestrial being who hunts tailed-beast chakra, disrupts the exams and drags Boruto into a conflict far beyond genin rank.
