• Meihui returned to his original world with his two companions and heard the system explain that it had been sleeping to conserve energy.

• The God Tree rose into the middle of a town and used bandages to capture residents and absorb their chakra.
• Naruto continued dodging Ao and asked the one-eyed old man to stop fighting, worried that a small blow might break his mechanical limbs.

Naruto used Gamahiro to incapacitate Ao and left to rescue people from the God Tree. Victor killed the helpless Ao, then turned his attention back to the God Tree and his approaching wish.

• Meihui broke through Deepa’s carbon armor, and Naruto and Sasuke’s attacks failed to injure him before Meihui sealed his senses and immobilized him.

• Jigen learned Deepa had been captured and the God Tree destroyed, but refused Amado’s suggestion to destroy Deepa, wary that another Ōtsutsuki might have been killed.
• Amado watched Naruto approach the laboratory where Kawaki and Code were confined and quietly planned to force Jigen into action.
• Naruto accidentally broke into Kawaki’s laboratory, where the two met for the first time.

• Boruto woke up, saw Kawaki at home, and ran to tell Hinata that Naruto had brought home an illegitimate son.
• Shizuku calmed the upset Hinata and sent Boruto to find Meihui at the Hokage's Office.

• After realizing Boruto had misunderstood, Meihui stopped Naruto from threatening him and asked Kawaki why he had come to Konoha as Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's vessel.

Meihui questioned Kawaki about his ties to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, but his system warned him not to kill Kawaki because he was the current child of the plane. After Kawaki revealed what he knew about Kara, Naruto decided to adopt him, with Meihui agreeing to protect them from Kara.

• Meihui recognized the Ōtsutsuki Kāma on Kawaki and asked whether he had come on his own or been sent by Isshiki.
• Meihui's system warned him that killing Kawaki could collapse the world, so Meihui let him live and asked for information about Kara.

• Naruto decided to adopt Kawaki and said they would fight Kara if they came after him.
• Meihui accepted Naruto's decision and promised, implicitly, that he could handle Kara if they came.

Kawaki agreed to live with Naruto in Konoha, while Jigen decided to postpone retrieving him because Meihui and Konoha posed too great a threat. Jigen relived Isshiki’s past with Kaguya and sent Code to guard another Ten-Tails, leaving the threat of stronger Ōtsutsuki arriving on Earth unresolved.

Kawaki experienced a warm family dinner at Naruto’s home and envied Boruto’s life, while Delta and Boro continued searching for him without any leads. Jigen kept his plans against Konoha on hold and grew suspicious of Kara’s Inner members.

• Jigen sent Code to guard another juvenile Ten-Tails and postponed his plans against Konoha and Kawaki.

• Delta and Boro searched the forest for Kawaki, but Delta complained that Jigen had given them no useful information.
• Boro suspected Jigen was testing the Kara Inner members as Jigen began doubting how they had come together.

Jigen suspected a traitor in Kara but fell into a deep sleep before Delta could report her failed search for Kawaki. While Kawaki settled into Naruto's family and became Boruto's adoptive older brother, Amado quietly halted the search, leaving Boro unaware and still looking for him.

• Delta returned to Kara and complained to Amado, who told her to suspend the mission until Jigen woke; Boro continued searching, unaware the mission had been called off.

Boro infiltrated Konoha with his black mist virus while searching for Kawaki, and the new Team 7 discovered the unconscious gate guards. Kakashi asked Meihui to help find the intruder, and Meihui wondered if the formation of the new Team 7 meant the plot was correcting itself.

• Boro released black mist at Konoha's gate and knocked out both guards before entering the village.
• Boruto, Sarada, Kawaki, and Mitsuki returned from a mission with Uchiha Itachi and found the unconscious guards.

• Meihui learned that Itachi and the new Team 7 knew about the intrusion and suspected the plot was correcting itself.

• Mitsuki sent a white snake to investigate the bushes after interpreting Boruto's gaze as a warning, and the snake found Boro.
