Meanwhile, a group of rogue ninja are causing chaos in the Hidden Leaf Village. Led by a mysterious figure, they are determined to overthrow the Hokage and take control of the village. Naruto, realizing the danger, leaves Boruto in the care of his trusted friends and sets out to stop the rogue ninja.

As Naruto faces off against the rogue ninja, Boruto watches from afar, realizing for the first time just how dangerous his father's job as Hokage can be. He realizes that being a good father means more than just spending time together and having fun; it also means protecting his family and village.

In the end, Naruto is able to defeat the rogue ninja and save the village. He returns home to find Boruto waiting for him, proud of his father's bravery and sacrifice. The two embrace, reaffirming their love for one another.
