Quick recap

Boruto resents his father, Naruto, now the Seventh Hokage, who is always too busy for his family. To surpass him, he asks Sasuke to train him and enters the Chūnin Exams, where he secretly uses a Scientific Ninja Tool to cheat. Naruto finds out and disqualifies him in front of everyone. Right after, Momoshiki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki attack the arena looking for Kurama, and Naruto is taken while protecting his son. Sasuke leads the rescue with the Kage and Boruto. Momoshiki absorbs Kinshiki, but Naruto and Boruto combine their chakra into a giant Rasengan that defeats him. Father and son make up, and Boruto decides to become a ninja who backs Sarada's dream of being Hokage.
