The next episode of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" will be all about getting the referrals for the exam, as not everyone is expected to get the chance to take part.
The promo teases that Iwabe, Denki and Metal Lee will have to prove themselves once more to get recommendation for the exams after their teams fail to show the discipline and skill during all the Byakuya Gang fiasco. Not all of them are expected to get this precious referral though, so episode 48 is bound to be a nail-biter with regards to who ends up getting the recommendations.
For a while now, fans have been waiting for "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" to reach the Chunin exams arc especially when the Byakuya Gang entered the picture. While it is clear at this point that the anime will never be able to catch up to the manga, which is so far along now, they hoped that the story in the movie will be adapted already. Thankfully, the wait is almost over.
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 48, "The Genin Documentary," airs Wednesday, March 7 on TV Tokyo.
