A quick recap of the previous episode

Fans saw Sasuke and Sakura hatch a plan to break into Zansul's office in Boruto episode 284. The former intercepted the messenger from Redaku's Prime Minister, who was on his way to meet Zansul, and took him to a room where Sasuke performed genjutsu on him.

Sakura then disguised herself as the messenger, he became the walking staff, and they proceeded to the Director's office. Sakura then spoke with Zansul and discovered that he possesses something that the Prime Minister of Redaku desires.

While Zansul was distracted, Sasuke went to the secret cellar, where he discovered a room filled with fossils and chicken. He also discovered an altar, from which he inferred that Zansul was using Reanimation to resurrect dragon beasts. Zansul was actually collaborating with someone else to create an army of dragon beasts.

Meno attacked Sasuke outside the cellar, but the latter chose not to retaliate. Instead, he let Meno bite him while he covered his wound with Mist Style and then broke him out of the genjutsu. Meno became Sasuke's friend almost immediately after that.
