16 year old, Boruto Uzumaki, questions whether living life as a ninja, right after being injured during an important mission. His earlier drive to be a ninja is crushed by the fact that he couldn't stop his old comrade. Now, he questions what does it actually mean to be a 'ninja'? Is it worth putting your life on the line for those whom you deem comrades? All these frustrating questions arise as he spends various hours doing his daily routines until he's cleared for field work again. His friends worry about him, his parents noticed the swift change in his demeanor, and Sarada tries her best to break the newly built wall surrounding the young Uzumaki. Is it too late for his loved ones to stop him from falling further into this dark, deep abyss of sorrow before it swallows him whole?
