Aired on March 28, 2018
Team 7, Hinata, Himawari, and Sakura celebrate Boruto's birthday, but he feels sad due to his father's absence. Boruto visits Katasuke, who animates him and acknowledges his skills rather than attributing them to luck. Upon returning, Himawari asks if Naruto will attend her birthday, prompting Boruto to promise he will. Team 7 receives a mission regarding thief attacks. Naruto learns of Ootsutuski clan locations and joins a secret operation. Before leaving, Boruto secures a promise from Naruto to attend Himawari's birthday. The team discovers thieves killed by an unknown white creature. In the mines, they find corpses and are ambushed by creatures identified by Konohamaru as White Zetsu. This event is part of the Versus Momoshiki Arc.
