Fans of the anime series "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" will see team 7 in action in the upcoming episodes. The anime will resume on Jan. 10 with episode 40, "Team 7: First Mission."

Boruto, Mitsuki, and Sarada led by Konohamaru will engage in their first mission on the next episode. Spoilers for episodes 40, 41, 42, and 43 have surfaced via Reddit. Otaku Kart then confirmed that the spoilers are 100 percent accurate.

Team 7 will face a group of bandits who are terrorizing a village for their first mission. A new character by the name of Kiri will be introduced in episode 40. According to Otaku, Konohamaru will be the hero in this episode rather than the younger generation of ninjas. The mission to stop the bandits and turn them away turns into a major rescue mission after Kiri is taken away in episode 42. Kiri is the daughter of the village's leader who died.

The new team 7's first mission is somehow different to another mission taken by the original team 7, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. In the first season of the anime "Naruto," Team 7 were given a C-rank mission to escort a man to the Land of Waves. However, it was then revealed that the C-rank mission happens to be an A-rank one. Team 7 ended up clashing against Haku from the Yuki Clan and Zabuza, member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Looks like Boruto, Mitsuki, Sarada, and Konohamaru are successful in rescuing Kiri because Boruto will demand harder missions in episode 43, "The Work of Shinobi." A group of Robin Hoods will reveal themselves in episode 43, "The Appearance of the White Night Band." The White Night Band are a group of thieves who are stealing money and items from rich people and handing them out to the poor.

There are no information if Mitsuki's sage mode will be in motion in the coming episodes.
