* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Naruto has finally reached his dream of becoming Hokage, but that does ''not'' mean it's what all he expected.

** Boruto actually manages to win against [[spoiler:Shikadai in the Chunin Exams...and gets called out by Naruto, which leads into one long HumiliationConga for the kid]].

* AdultFear: Several present:
** For Naruto and Hinata: seeing their children in danger. [[spoiler:Also seeing their child go down the wrong path; Boruto is willing to cheat in order to ahead in life, which led to his embarrassing expulsion from the Chunin Exams]].
** For Boruto and Himawari: seeing their parents in mortal peril. [[spoiler:Himawari is [[TearsOfFear crying in despair]] over seeing their mother injured as a result of her trying to save her husband. Boruto feeling guilty that he accidentally powered up Momoshiki with his ninja tool and said several hurtful things to his parents]].

* CanonDiscontinuity: While many of the main events remain canon, many other aspects of the movie's events ended up altered substantially once the manga and anime continued the series proper and became the new official canon. Changes introduced in the canon series include minor details such as when and how certain characters are beaten in the Chunin exams, how Naruto figures out Boruto cheated (Hinata confirms him for it in the movie via her Byakugan, whereas in the series Hinata realizes what is happening but Naruto is not sitting with her so Naruto figures it out entirely on his own), to more major things such as Metal Lee's teammates being actual characters and Momoshiki's SuperMode having a completely different design.

* DeathGlare: Boruto gives one to his dad when he sternly tells him not to mess up [[spoiler:Himawari's birthday party]].

* ThemeNaming: Much like Kaguya, Momoshiki and Kinshiki are named after figures of Japanese folklore. Momoshiki is named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotar%C5%8D Momotaro]], while Kinshiki is named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintar%C5%8D Kintaro]].

* RealityEnsues: Naruto has finally reached his dream of becoming Hokage, but that does ''not'' mean it's what all he expected.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Momoshiki and Kinshiki are every bit as powerful as Kaguya, quite possibly even more so seeing how they [[spoiler: can fuse in order to go OneWingedAngel]]. In fact, a main anime {{Filler}} puts forth the theory that Kaguya was trying to raise an army to defend herself from them in case they ever arrived on Earth, with the strong implication that she feared them.

* {{Adorkable}}:
** Naruto looks so happy and goofy lighting the candles to Himawari's birthday cake. [[spoiler:The mood quickly falls when Naruto goes *poof*, proving he was a clone and putting Boruto in a "ThisIsUnforgivable" state]]. Later he can't help but jump in joy when he hears his son made it through the second day of the Chunin Exams.
** Boruto falls into this too when his father comes to congratulate him on a job well done after the second day of Chunin Exams finished. He's practically shaking with happiness on his bed.

* MesACrowd: Boruto and Sasuke are able to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Naruto employs his signature technique to help out around Konoha itself. [[spoiler:This backfires on Naruto at times, as Shadow Clones don't last forever and can disappear at inopportune times, such as holding and dropping his daughter's birthday cake. The real Naruto collapses from exhaustion at the end of the day, realizing how much he hurt his family by doing so]].

Later he can't help but jump in joy when he hears his son made it through the second day of the Chunin Exams.

* EvilAlbino: Momoshiki and Kinshiki, similar to Kaguya and Toneri. This has led to speculation that the two are part of the Otsutsuki clan, which is outright confirmed in the movie.

* BadassInCharge: The Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.

* TheHero: Boruto Uzumaki, the eldest child and son of [[BadassInCharge Naruto]] and [[LadyOfWar Hinata]].

* WhamLine: Mitsuki revealing who his parent is. [[spoiler:It's Orochimaru, though it's unsure whether or not [[ BodySurf Orochimaru]] [[AmbiguousGender is the father or mother]]]].

--> '''Boruto''': "If you even forget about my little sister's birthday, I'll never forgive you."\\

* WhamLine: Mitsuki revealing who his parent is. [[spoiler:It's Orochimaru, though it's unsure whether or not [[{{Squick}} Orochimaru is the father or mother]]]].

** Naruto gets called out numerous times by Boruto for neglecting his family, in particular commenting that [[spoiler:his embarrassment over Boruto cheating wouldn't have happened in the first place if Naruto had simply been home more often and lectured his son from time to time]].

* AnAesop: Parents need to keep track of how much time they're spending with their children, because if they don't, it can lead to [[spoiler: them making the wrong choices about life. Oh, and CheatersNeverProsper, as Boruto learns the hard way]].

'''Naruto''': *gulp*

* BlatantLies: Hinata's claim that Naruto is always there for his children, coming right on the heels of the revelation that he couldn't be bothered to show up at Himawari's birthday party in person after he promised he would.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Hinata [[spoiler: rushed after Momoshiki and Kinshiki when they kidnapped Naruto in an attempt to save him]]. Sure, she ''failed'', but the fact that she did it shows just how much she loves her husband.

The movie takes place after the events of ''Naruto Gaiden'', which itself took place after the events of ''The Last'' and Chapter 700. Naruto, now the Seventh Hokage, is busy preparing Konoha for the upcoming Chuunin Exams. However, focusing his attention on the village has left Naruto little time to spend with his family, something that his son [[BrilliantButLazy Boruto Uzumaki]] [[IWishedYouWereDead does not take well]]. Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha returns from a mission in another dimension with news of an imminent threat. After learning from his daughter Sarada that Sasuke is Naruto's rival, Boruto seeks him out of anger at his dad for splitting time between the village and his family and asks to become his apprentice in order to surpass his father. Sasuke accepts on one condition: Boruto must learn his father's signature move, the Rasengan, and prove that he's willing to work for his goals rather than always looking for the easy way out. At the same time, Boruto enters the Chunnin Exams alongside [[TheRival Sarada]] and Konoha newcomer [[MysteriousStranger Mitsuki]] in order to demonstrate his abilities to Naruto and finally win some attention and respect from his busy dad. As the Chunnin Exams take place, the festivities are interrupted by the sudden appearance of two ominous individuals: Momoshiki and Kinshiki Ootsutsuki. They launch an attack against Naruto and the Kages, prompting a new battle to defend the ninja world.

* ActionizedSequel: From people who complained about ''[[Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie The Last]]'' being too slow, this movie certainly ups the amount of action scenes. The FinalBattle between [[spoiler:Naruto and Sasuke against Momoshiki, including the final blow given by Boruto]] was epic.

** Naruto looks so happy and goofy lighting the candles to [[spoiler:Himawari's birthday cake.

** Sasuke and Hinata mistaking Boruto for 12 year old Naruto.

** Boruto actually manages to win against [[spoiler:Shikadai in the Chunnin Exams...and gets called out by Naruto, which leads into one long HumiliationConga for the kid]].

** There also appears to be a rivalry between Boruto and Shikadai given how much emphasis is placed on their big fight in the Chunnin Exams.

* SmugSnake: Katasuke, the head of the Science Division who created the ninja tool item that Konohamaru, [[spoiler:and later Boruto]], utilize, is this trope to a tee. [[spoiler:He only pretends to be friends with Boruto and manipulates the boy to participate in the Chunnin Exams with his tool to promote his technology to the world in order to [[OnlyInItForTheMoney rake in the money]]]].

*** When Sarada and Mitsuki, but mostly Sarada, berate Boruto for not signing up along with them and holding their team back from participating in the Chunnin Exams. Later they're both disappointed when they discover that [[spoiler:Boruto had been cheating the entire time throughout the tests]].
