With the world now safe and the ninja villages working together, Naruto's work as Hokage seems pretty mundane. Giving his son, Boruto, enough attention is the toughest task he has. But then Sasuke uncovers a conspiracy that may involve surviving members of the Uchiha clan. And at the same time, Sarada is begins to have doubts about the truth of her origins.
He rescues them from an attacker and then brings them to a tower where Sarada's father, Sasuke, has been staying. At times the plot moves quickly, with lots of action, fights, and magical ninja attacks. There are many clones and characters with ocular powers and a character who is kidnapped through teleportation. But sometimes, between the action scenes, the story slows down to focus on Sarada and the drama unfolding in her life. There are multiple flashbacks here, both Sarada thinking back to her childhood and Naruto thinking back to his own youth as he tries to connect to her search for her real parents.
