The recent episodes of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" has been shifting the focus away from Team 7, which the show's titular character is a member. More characters will get a fair share of attention in the upcoming episode 49 of the anime spinoff series. This time around, the fans will get to know more about Team 15, which is under the supervision of Boruto's aunt, Hyuga Hanabi. With just a couple of days before the Chunin exam, the Team 15 members will be involved in a stir as they take on a new mission.

The fans will probably see less of Boruto and Team 7 in "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 49, although this will be a great time to learn about the other teams' preparations for the upcoming Chunin exam. As for Team 15, composed of Wasabi Izuno, Sumire Kakei and Namida Suzumeno, they have one more mission to deal with before they can focus on their training.

According to the episode 49 synopsis, Team 15 will be in charge of capturing the wild animals that escaped from the natural park. It looks like the animals' rampage in Konoha is not just a mere accident as someone had opened the cage to let the animals loose. Nevertheless, Team 15 should work hard on this mission to prevent the Konoha folks and the animals alike from getting harmed. 

The spoilers reveal that Namida is determined to accomplish the mission through teamwork, but Wasabi, on the other hand, believes that she can handle the situation all by herself. Unfortunately for Team 15, this little fuss will affect their mission, as Namida is deeply hurt by Wasabi telling her to shut up and mind her own business. This could be an indication that the team, as a whole, still has many things to learn before stepping on the Chunin exam.

"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 49 will air in Japan on March 14th.
