When traveling merchants are attacked by bandits, Team 15 is sent out to investigate the incidents. When she finds a clue at a crime scene, Tsubaki suspects that a samurai, whom she trained with long ago, is involved in the robberies.

Team 7, with Kawaki as its newest member, is assigned a mission to escort Katasuke to the Hidden Mist Village for a ceremony. Boruto uses the mission as an opportunity to visit Kagura, who is now the warden of a prison.
