Boruto: Naruto Next Generations plot recap, spoiler-light
Years after the great ninja war, the village of Konoha enjoys peace under the leadership of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto's son, Boruto, struggles with his father's constant absence and yearns for attention. After graduating from the Ninja Academy, Boruto joins a Genin team with Sarada Uchiha and Mitsuki, guided by Konohamaru Sarutobi.
Soon, a dangerous threat emerges from the Ōtsutsuki clan when Momoshiki and Kinshiki abduct Naruto. Boruto teams up with Sasuke Uchiha and the Kage to rescue Naruto and defeat the invaders, resulting in Momoshiki branding Boruto with a mysterious mark known as Karma. This event draws the attention of a shadowy organization called Kara, which hunts for Karma bearers.
The team eventually encounters Kawaki, a fugitive with his own Karma mark, whom Naruto generously adopts into his household. Investigations by Sasuke and the defector Amado reveal a terrifying truth: Karma serves as a vessel for Ōtsutsuki resurrection. As Kara fractures, intense battles erupt between the ninja and the remnants of the ancient alien clan, setting the stage for a desperate struggle for survival.
