Boruto Uzumaki, the son of Naruto and Hinata, begins his ninja career. Unlike his father, Boruto resents the pressure of his lineage and acts out — setting up the central conflict between legacy and individual identity.
Boruto defeats Momoshiki Otsutsuki with his father's help. As Momoshiki dies, he imprints a Karma seal on Boruto's hand — a vessel mark that will slowly transform him. The seed of every future arc is planted here.
Isshiki Otsutsuki arrives in Konoha searching for Kawaki, triggering a battle that leaves the village devastated and forces Naruto to use a transformation that costs him his Nine-Tails chakra permanently.
To defeat Isshiki, Naruto activates Baryon Mode with Kurama — a fusion that burns their life force as fuel. Isshiki is defeated, but Kurama dies. Naruto loses his Nine-Tails partner of a lifetime.
Code begins cultivating the Ten-Tails to create a Divine Tree, escalating the threat level far beyond anything Konoha has faced. The Otsutsuki plan enters its next phase.
