Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - The Funato War (English)

With Denki as captain, Team 5 is assigned to a mission to transport automated puppets for mining purposes to an island in the Land of Water, to test and operate them, to gather data, and to analyze the results. However, lacking physical strength, Denki isn't very useful and ends up being ridiculed. Will Denki be able to restore his reputation as a ninja and successfully complete his first mission as captain?

The new Team 7—with Kawaki its newest member—is assigned to escort Katasuke to a ceremony in the Land of Water. Boruto is looking forward to seeing Kagura Karatachi, a shinobi from the Land of Mist whom he hasn't seen since their Academy field trip to the Land of Water. However, in the shadows of the ceremony, a group harboring a grudge stealthily begins to make its move.

Boruto is visiting the prison when an airship explodes during the ceremony. Just as he is about to rush to the scene, the facility is attacked, so he stays to help Kagura fight off the assailants.
Will they be able to stop the attempted prison break of the leader of a gang of pirates?

The Land of Water is taken over by pirates, and contact with Denki's Team 5 is lost. The new Team 7 joins up with a unit led by Kagura and sets out for Dotou Island to assist Team 5 and rescue the islanders. However, the unit is made up of Buntan, Hebiichigo, and Kyoho, who in the past had called themselves the “New Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.” Sarada and Mitsuki go ashore to scout the island while Boruto and the others stay back and watch the situation nearby.

While on the lookout near Dotou Island, a giant mobile fortress appears before Boruto and his friends. Kagura orders Boruto, Kawaki, and Buntan to sneak into the fortress to gather information. Sarada and Mitsuki are able to join up with Denki and the other members of Team 5, and together they begin their plan to save the people of the island.

As Sarada and the others hurry to evacuate the people of the island, Boruto grows anxious when he learns they are being threatened by the mobile fortress, which is equipped with a powerful weapon. Kagura, Hebiichigo and Kyoho show up to assist Boruto, Kawaki and Buntan. Together, they do what they can to destroy the weapon to protect their friends, but they are obstructed by Tenma and are forced to fight him.

There is a murder aboard the ship carrying the people rescued from Dotou Island, and Kyoho is the primary suspect based on the evidence. Despite his claims of innocence, there is no proof to back him up. Despite that, Kagura chooses to believe Kyoho. He places Boruto and Iwabe in charge of watching Kyoho while everyone else splits up into teams to search for any clues that may point to another culprit.

The ship carrying Boruto, his friends, and the people of Dotou Island is dead in the water. A shipbuilder Kajiki and his apprentice Ikada happen to pass by and offer to repair the ship at an island of shipbuilders where they live. Upon arriving on the island, Boruto and his friends try to do whatever they can to help while waiting for their ship to be repaired. Meanwhile, in the seas near the Land of Water, a clash between the pirates of the Funato Clan and the Land of Water is becoming unavoidable.

Boruto joins Ikada as he sails to a factory where they can get a component needed for ship repair. He is impressed by Ikada’s excellent piloting abilities. Ikada reveals that he left home despite the protests of his family to look for work that involved ships. That was when he met Kajiki and found his dream of becoming a great ship carpenter. They spot a ship that has been in an accident, and while working together to save the passengers, Boruto sees something unbelievable.

Now that their ship has been repaired, Boruto and the others will soon be leaving the island of shipbuilders. Ikada, now friends with Boruto, promises to achieve his dream and pay him a visit. But then Ikada’s sister Seiren appears before him and tries to drag him back home. When Ikada left home, Seiren was his only ally, so he is sad to see her so unwilling to understand his feelings. Meanwhile, Buntan, Hebiichigo, and Kyoho wait for the ship to depart. They had been promised reduced sentences for their work, but they learn that they won’t be rewarded as much as they thought!

In retaliation against Boruto and his friends for destroying Tenma’s mobile fortress, the pirates land on the Isle of Shipbuilders. Funamushi, a follower of the Funato Clan, attacks Kagura, hoping to capture him alive so that he can use him as a bargaining chip. Kagura fights back using the Hiramekarei—the twin swords that the Sixth Mizukage Chojuro entrusted to him—but Funamushi is a formidable foe. Meanwhile, Seiren appears before Boruto and torments him with her persistent attacks. Can Boruto find his way out of this predicament?!

A coded message believed to have been left by Funamushi reveals that the Hidden Mist Village is in danger. Kagura tells Boruto and the others of his plan to stop the enemy at a village on the route there. Everyone hurries to the destination, and it turns out Kagura lived in this village when he was little and has many fond memories of it. When Boruto and the others arrive, they try to get people to help them as they rush to prepare their plan to protect the village and the Hidden Mist!

As Boruto and the others ready their plan, they learn that one enemy unit is heading to the village ahead of the rest. Since they haven’t finished making preparations, the village will be in danger, so they hurry to evacuate everyone. Kagura worries that they won’t have enough people to fight. Just in case, he releases the curse placed on Buntan, Hebiichigo, and Kyoho, temporarily setting them free. Hesitantly, they agree to fight alongside Kagura and Boruto.

The main squad led by Funamushi is getting close to the village. Boruto and the others stand by, intending to use traps to slow down the enemy. However, the enemy sees through their plan and they are suddenly thrust into a full-scale battle. Despite being shaken, Boruto and the others fight back. Working together, they are able to handle the enemy’s overwhelming numbers. Even still, Funamushi burns with the desire for revenge and uses a powerful jutsu to corner them.

Despite being drawn into a difficult battle, Boruto and the others manage to force Funamushi’s squad to retreat, but it comes with a heavy price.
Meanwhile, in the seas near the Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village ninja led by the Mizukage, Chojuro, are in a standoff with the pirates. Despite being told by his foster brother Isari to wait for an opening, Tenma becomes irritated by the battle’s slow progress. In order to meet the expectations of his foster father Araumi, he jumps into action to hasten the progress of the battle.

Despite children being present, Funamushi fights fiercely with disregard for the damage he causes.
Meanwhile, Araumi is informed by his eldest son Isari that his adopted son Tenma has died in battle. With his daughter already hovering between life and death, he explodes with rage. He declares that he will be taking full command in the battles to come.

Denki and Iwabe protect the village children who accompanied them but they are captured by Funamushi and his squad. Funamushi’s squad shows up once again to attack the village. Funamushi burns with the desire to avenge Seiren as he fiercely battles Boruto and the others once more.

Boruto and his friends manage to triumph over Funamushi, but they aren’t able to savor the victory. Everyone is having a difficult time believing Denki and Iwabe are still alive days after being captured. Meanwhile, Boruto discovers a hidden side of Funamushi when he is targeted by people who looked up to the pirate, as revenge begets more revenge. Boruto has always continued to push forward until now, but this causes him to question the point of fighting.

Ikada returns home after learning that his sister has been severely injured in battle. He spends the next few days looking after her and is visited by Funamushi’s son Kobuna. Kobuna asks Ikada if he will join the fight. Ikada tells him that he is not suited for battle. Despite his feelings, his father Araumi and the other members of the Funato Clan are annoyed that he isn’t joining the fight.

Araumi is furious about the loss of family members and many of his subordinates during the battles so far. He officially declares war against the Land of Water. Upon hearing this, Mizukage decides to fight him to the bitter end. As war between the Land of Water and the pirates becomes inevitable, Boruto is confused by Ikada’s decision to fight the Land of Water. He does everything he can to prevent any more casualties, and Sarada and Mitsuki assist him in his efforts.

Sarada, Mitsuki, and Boruto decide to meet with the Mizukage. Chojuro is heading into battle against the pirates, so Boruto and his friends ask the shipbuilder Kajiki for help. Thanks to Kajiki, they manage to reach Chojuro, but when they try to reason with him to stop the battle…
Meanwhile, Ikada sails the raging seas with the intent to destroy the Shinonome 1, the brand-new power plant developed by the Land of Water.

Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki go meet with Ikada, who has now sided against the Land of Water. Boruto tries talking to Ikada as a friend to get him to stop fighting. But since Boruto is responsible for what happened to his sister Seiren, Ikada refuses to listen. Even still, Boruto persistently tries to reason with him. Ikada coldly proposes a certain condition.

Boruto’s desperate attempts to reason with Ikada fail and he’s unable to change his mind. He prepares himself to give his life to stop the Land of Water and the pirates from fighting. He tells Sarada and Mitsuki that they should not seek revenge if he ends up dying. However, neither of them is able to stand idly by.
Will Boruto and his friends manage to stop this cycle of revenge and restore peace to the seas?!

The pirate rebellion that has shaken the Land of Water is brought under control. Upon returning with his friends to the Hidden Leaf Village, Boruto wonders what happened to Ikada. Buntan and her friends are acquitted thanks to Kagura’s petition, but there is still no decision on what to do about Ikada. Boruto hopes for leniency, but Kawaki takes an opposite stance. As Boruto thinks about the people who got involved in the battle and Kawaki’s take on things, Naruto has a word with him.
