The young ninjas of The Leaf Village are about to undergo big changes in the upcoming episodes of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations." In episode 36, the anime series' titular character will get ready for the graduation examination, although this test could be the easiest one that the students will experience as the journey to becoming a true ninja is expected to get even more difficult.

"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 36 titled "Graduation Examinations, Begin!! Examinations, Begin!!" will introduce familiar elements of the original "Naruto" anime. Boruto's father, the Seventh Hokage of Konoha, also underwent the same graduation examination when he was the same age as his son. Boruto will have a feel of what ninjas go through in missions, joining other aspiring young ninjas in hopes to pass the next stage.

Comic Book has provided the synopses for the upcoming episodes of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations." The previous episodes show the young ninjas thinking about their future outside the premises of the academy. By the time of their graduation, they will experience the dangers of the real world, although they still have their teammates to help them.

In episode 36, Boruto and his friends will face the first round of the graduation examination, which is the written test. The first test might be a bit hard, but the next stage will be the real deal with the Sixth Hokage's infamous Kakashi-style three-man "Bell Steal" match. This time around, the ninja students will have to go against their teachers in the academy.

According to Inquisitr, Boruto will start to get along with his genin teammates, Sarada and Mitsuki. Naruto and Hinata's son will be under the watch of Konohamaru in Team 7, and the group will undergo many challenges that will test their strength as a ninja. It is uncertain, however, if there will be more episodes coming before the young ninjas arrive at the much-awaited "Chunin Exam" arc.

"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 36 will air on Dec. 6.
