Japanese animated television series "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" is currently on its Graduation Arc. But fans are already looking forward to the next arc that is set to air this month. Aside from that, spoilers for episode 37 are already out, and they continue the story of Boruto and Kakashi's fight.

Episode 36 of the anime just aired on Dec. 6 featuring the start of the Graduation exam. Boruto and his friends need to pass the exam before they could graduate from the Academy. Kakashi tasked the aspiring ninjas to get the bell from him within the day. In order to do that, Boruto, who claimed that the exam is a "piece of cake," will pursue his teacher in the forest.

The next episode will continue the story of how Boruto and his friends will pass the exam. Episode 37 is titled "A Shinobi's Resolve" wherein Kakashi will try to teach Boruto an important lesson. In a preview of the episode, Kakashi says that the students at the Ninja Academy are horrible since they underestimate being a ninja. He blames this to Boruto whom he believes has a great influence on the students.

In an effort to get the bell, Boruto will fight with Kakashi. While fighting, Kakashi will admit that Boruto is a genius. However, he should possess the decisive element that is very important in being a ninja. Kakashi will repeatedly tell Naruto's son that he lacks resolve, but Boruto will not listen. Eventually, Boruto will realize that he should not underestimate Kakashi and he needs to take the exam seriously.

Although the current arc is just in its fifth episode, fans are already wondering about the next arc. A new leak from Yonkou Productions teases that the anime will be adapting the Mitsuki Gaiden arc. In this arc, Boruto will explore his origins and the life of Mitsuki.

This revelation is supported by the Weekly Shonen Jump's latest issue that confirms that Naruto's son will be exploring the past of Mitsuki. The arc will start airing on Dec. 17, which will start with the early childhood of Mitsuki.

"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 37 will air on Wednesday, Dec. 13, at 5:25 a.m. EST on TV Tokyo.
