Inojin flirts with Himawari like a bee by bringing the girl her favorite honey. He somehow has enough rizz to pull the move off without looking desperate.

Once the sunflower girl is out of earshot, one of Kashin Koji's frogs appears and asks Inojin if he has a crush. Inojin's blush makes the answer obvious.

Kashin Koji then teleports Inojin into a locked room with Himawari's missing nin brother. Boruto sits on a throne trying to look as intimidating as possible.

Meanwhile, back at the villain's basecamp, Jura is crying over a novel and waxing poetic about love. Mamushi sits next to him reading a porno mag.

Mamushi announces he doesn't care about feelings. He simply wants to take Eida's "superior genetic information" for himself. It's unclear whether he wants Eida to give him babies or if he wants to become a Mary Sue teenage girl in her place. Neither option is appealing.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru is headed to meet the Council of Elders, who are somehow still alive. Some representative of the Daimyo is there too. They are suspicious of how Boruto escaped interrogation.

Kashin Koji uses Inojin as a human cellphone to call Shikamaru up. Using Prescience, he helps Shikamaru focus their suspicion on Konohamaru instead of himself. Konohamaru gets carted off to interrogation for being too sympathetic to Boruto.

After helping Shikamaru keep his job, Kashin Koji and Boruto start bickering about the mission to Sand. As the two argue, Inojin stands there awkwardly waiting to be teleported home.

Last but not least, we see Eida, Sarada, and Sumire doing girl talk. It's basically Sumire and Sarada hashing out their plans for how they'll confess to Boruto, while Eida acts as referee.

Daemon looms in the corner, trying to look intimidating in his bunny pajamas. His protective brother act isn't quite as impressive as Boruto's was.

Sarada and Sumire get so worked up over Boruto that Eida accuses them of being immune to her charm.

Himawari goes rogue after years of not knowing where her parents went.

Inojin convinces Himawari to change her mind but ends up joining her.

Events take place during the break between battles in the chunin exams. Himawari enters the waiting room in an attempt to find Boruto to congratulate him on his victory. Boruto’s not there. Inojin sitting there. “Oh, hey Inojin-kun! I'm looking for onii-chan, do you know where he is?” “No” Himawari is about to leave, but stops for a second. “You’re fine?” “Yeah, i’m okay”. Himawari looks away sadly. She saw him lose. Than Hima remembering something, she smiles and says “Kaa-chan told me that when tou-chan was young, the failures haunted him, but then he took matters into his own hands and changed everything. And now he’s the Hokage.” Inojin looked at Hima and met her eyes. Her eyes the color of a cloudless, clear sky... At the moment it seemed as though the storm clouds over him had started scattered. She smiled radiantly. “I've got to go.”  She disappeared in the dark corridor, leaving with Inojin a piece of her light.
