Many years after the Fourth Ninja World War, Naruto Uzumaki is the Seventh Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, who in times of peace have grown to become a large city with all of the latest advancements in technology. Naruto is also married to Hinata Hyuga and they have two children, Boruto and Himawari Uzumaki. Boruto is already a Genin and in a team under Konohamaru Sarutobi, with Sasuke and Sakura's daughter Sarada Uchiha and a mysterious boy called Mitsuki. Sarada, who dreams of becoming Hokage, scolds Boruto for not taking his training seriously and Boruto then asks Mitsuki about his parents, to which the latter reveals himself as Orochimaru's son without clarifying whether Orochimaru is his father or mother, much to his teammates' confusion.
When Boruto learned his father did not keep his promise to come home for Himawari's birthday party, substituting himself with a Shadow Clone instead, the boy defenestrates his father's tattered, old orange jumpsuit in a fit of anger. The jumpsuit was found by Sasuke on his way to warn Naruto of a powerful enemy he encountered. After Boruto learns more about Sasuke from Sarada, he asks Sasuke to train him to become strong enough to beat Naruto. Sasuke agrees on the condition Boruto can perform the Rasengan, having the boy learn it from Konohamaru while he left to find and converse with Naruto about a scroll he obtained from his fight, along with their childhood days and the Leaf's new generation. When Boruto presented his completed but undersized Rasengan sphere to Sasuke, Sasuke honors his promise despite feeling unconvinced, and teaches Boruto the shuriken jutsu to prepare for the upcoming Chunin Exams, while telling the boy more about his father, Naruto. In the Chunin Exams, Boruto's team excel in the first two stages thanks to Sarada's Sharingan. However, when Boruto ostensibly defeats Shikamaru's son Shikadai Nara in the third stage with a multi-shadow clone jutsu, Naruto discovers Boruto had used a device that can store and release jutsu, thus he disqualifies his son and declares Shikadai the winner of the match. Outraged, a spat between father and son ensues before two figures made their presence known, one of them Sasuke's attacker: Kinshiki Otsutsuki.
Alongside his partner Momoshiki Otsutsuki, they are revealed to be after the Kyubi, Kurama. Momoshiki proceeds to attack the arena while fighting Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto eventually sacrifices himself to protect Sasuke and Boruto, and entrusts Boruto's safety to Sasuke. Sensing that Naruto is still alive but in another dimension, Sasuke allies himself with the remaining Kage - the Fifth Kazekage Gaara, Fifth Raikage Darui, Sixth Mizukage Chojūro, and the Fourth Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi to rescue him. Donning Naruto's jumpsuit from earlier and Sasuke's old forehead protector, Boruto insists on joining them to make amends to his father. They arrive in the other dimension to find Naruto bound by the Otsutsuki duo, and the four Kage engage in battle against Kinshiki. When the Kage fail to subdue him, Naruto and Sasuke fight as well, but Momoshiki eventually turns Kinshiki into a pill and swallows him to increase his strength.
Overpowered by Momoshiki's new strength and left without many options, Naruto lends his chakra to Boruto while Sasuke distracts Momoshiki long enough for Boruto to create a giant Rasengan. Boruto destroys Momoshiki and severely burns his right arm with the attack, ending the threat once and for all. After Boruto reconciles with his father, Boruto resolves to become a ninja like Sasuke, who protects the village and the Hokage from the shadows. Boruto also promises Sarada that he will protect her if she becomes Hokage, eliciting her to blush in a gesture suggesting they have romantic feelings for each other. Konohamaru is chased by a wild panda and Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki jump from the Hokage Monument and into mid air, with Boruto creating a Rasengan.
In the post credit scene, during their missions, Boruto, Sarada try to tell Mitsuki who is their parent really is, and Mitsuki reveals that Orochimaru is his father, surprising both Boruto and Sarada.
