Kawaki explains what he knows about Code to Boruto and suggests that Boruto might be able to implant Code with his own Karma, as a means to revive should Momoshiki take over his body. Anticipating a confrontation and recognizing that both Naruto and Sasuke have been severely weakened, the new Team Seven resolves to train, though Kawaki grows frustrated with their lack of progress. Amado offers to embed a new Karma in Kawaki in order to let him access Isshiki's latent abilities, but Kawaki refuses and Sumire grows increasingly suspicious of Amado's motives. Meanwhile Code uses his mysterious black bands to infiltrate a compound belonging to Boro's cult and recruits Eida and Daemon, sibling Outers with powerful abilities who were cybernetically enhanced by Amado and marked for extermination by Jigen. Eida possesses the Senrigan, a unique dojutsu that allows her to observe any moment that has occurred during her lifespan, and the ability to charm anyone but Otsutsuki and blood relatives, including Code.

Back in Konoha, Boruto feels as though he will be able to better channel Momoshiki's power, and reunites with Sarada and Mitsuki, who want to get stronger to help Boruto. Amado is questioned for secretly restoring Kawaki's Karma without permission, and remains under suspicion despite his justifications. Naruto and Shikamaru argue about how to handle Kawaki killing Boruto, with Shikamaru worrying that Kawaki would do anything for Naruto's sake, surmising that nobody in the village would have the power to stop him if he went too far. Naruto vows to continue supporting Kawaki as his son. While Sasuke warns Team 7 that Code could return at any moment, Shikamaru confronts Amado and Code suddenly appears from a Claw Mark planted on his back during the previous encounter. Shikamaru reveals that he was aware of the Claw Mark and set Code up, activating Delta and ordering her to capture Code, revealing that she had been rebuilt by Amado as an ally of the Leaf. Code suddenly brings Eida through one of his Claw Marks and she charms everyone in the room, allowing Code to kidnap Amado before anyone can stop him. Back at Code's base, Code tortures Amado until he releases Code's limiters, then prepares to finish him off. Amado attempts to negotiate with Eida, suggesting she and Daemon defect to the Leaf with him, as that would allow her to meet Kawaki on good terms. When Code attempts to kill Amado anyway, Eida orders Daemon to stop him. Despite Code's newly returned power, he proves no match for Daemon and is easily defeated. He questions whether he truly loves Eida or if she's merely using him, and warns her that he will become an Otsutsuki and decide whether he wants to love her or kill her, then retreats with Bug. Amado tells Eida and Daemon that he'll reveal his true intentions when they reach Konoha. Enraged by his failures and the betrayal of his allies, Code blames Kawaki for his continued misfortune and vows to get revenge by destroying everything he cares about: his friends, the Hokage, and Konoha. | ||||

Meanwhile, Code retreats back to the Kara hideout with Bug, where he binds Ten Tails in Claw Marks and begins to tear it apart into smaller pieces, producing an army of blind, bipedal monsters capable of using his Claw Marks to teleport. In the Hokage office Shikamaru outlines Team 7's new mission: they will be sharing a house on the village outskirts with Eida and Daemon in order to keep them under observation and ensure compliance, acting as a first and last line of defense should they make a move against Konoha. When Eida and Daemon arrive in the village they fly straight for the home to meet everyone, and personalities quickly begin to clash. Amado is debriefed, and he explains that Eida's and Daemon's powers are shinjutsu transplanted from the corpse of Shibai Otsutsuki, an Otsutsuki who achieved godhood and transcended to another plane. He defines shinjutsu as divine abilities more powerful than ninjutsu which can only be used by gods, including the Karma. He explains that Delta was a failed clone of his daughter, Akebi, who died of an incurable disease, and that his goal is to use Kawaki as a catalyst to transplant a Karma containing her data onto a new clone, hoping that he will be able to reincarnate her. Momoshiki appears in Boruto's mind and warns him that Amado might be lying about the nature of Eida's enchantment ability, and at that moment Boruto begins to see glimpses of a battle in the near future, in which his friends and comrades seem to have turned against him. | ||||

Three years have passed since Boruto fled Konoha with Sasuke, hunted as a traitor and framed for the murder of his father. Sarada pleads with Shikamaru, now acting as the Eighth Hokage in an unofficial capacity, to lift the execution order on Boruto. Sarada's discussions with Sumire, Eida, and Daemon about the technique yield no solution. Elsewhere, Kawaki and Mitsuki discuss Boruto's whereabouts, and Mitsuki begins to question his devotion to Kawaki. Kawaki is called to investigate Claw Marks detected near the village and realizes too late that some of the shinobi on patrol have been marked. Code's army of Claw Grime soon swarms the village, devouring individuals and transforming into trees, leaving them trapped and comatose. Kawaki and others fight them off, with Sarada facing Code, who states that he has been searching for Boruto for the last two years. When Code threatens Sarada, Boruto suddenly appears over the skies of Konoha and drops down to battle him, easily defeating a number of Claw Grimes and striking Code with his newly developed Rasengan Uzuhiko. This Rasengan utilizes planetary chakra to afflict the target with rotational forces that cause continuous internal damage and vertigo until either they die or Boruto rescinds it. Boruto threatens to kill him if he doesn't call off his Claw Grimes, warning that tampering with the Ten-Tails could lead to a terrible future. Kawaki attacks Boruto, causing Code to flee to the other dimension, unaware that Boruto left a scout toad on his body. Boruto uses Flying Raijin to pursue in hopes of finding the Ten Tails. Instead, they encounter four new enemies, including one who bears an uncanny resemblance to Sasuke. They claim to be sentient Divine Trees that evolved thanks to Code's Claw Marks. Boruto rescinds Uzuhiko and asks Code to help him fight them, but Code slips away, and Boruto is forced to flee using Flying Raijin. He arrives in the wilderness where Koji Kashin admonishes him for taking such a risk. Boruto apologizes and vows to rescue Sasuke, who is revealed to be trapped in a nearby tree. | ||||
