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.

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 and the others return safely to the Leaf Village. While Naruto informs Team 7 of events that have occurred in the Hidden Mist since they left, Boruto and Kawaki get into an argument over whether or not Ikada should be punished.
