The upcoming Boruto Episode 57 will still be set in the ongoing Chunin Exams as the participants will be entering the second round of elimination. While the previous examination is the deceptively simple true or false question, the second examination will be a game of capture the flag.

Boruto Episode 56 Recap - True or False

The Chunin Exams finally started in Boruto Episode 56, which may already be viewed at KissAnime site. While the first examination is a very simple true or false question, getting there is a bit of a challenge. The participants had to reach the site, which is located 20 kilometers away, in under an hour just to answer the question. As expected of all ninja exams, the area surrounding the test site was filled with traps of all shapes and sizes. A sizable portion of the participants did not reach the site to answer the question and was eliminated by these traps.

Even the true or false question was a trick because either answer would still result in the ground giving way and the participant falling into an ink-filled hole. Boruto was lucky because of his teammates were quick-witted and realized what was going on and managed to catch Boruto before he touched the ink.

Things are getting even more exciting in the upcoming Boruto Episode 57. The reason for this is that the participants will enter the second elimination phase which will be decided by a game of capture the flag. The elimination round is expected to remove around half of the current group.

Capture the flag is the perfect game to test not only the participants' individual skills but also their effectivity as a team. This time, Boruto, Sakura, and Mitsuki will be up against the team of blue-haired brothers. At this point, all of the remaining participants are top fighters in their respective villages. It would be an exciting match as these opponents will definitely unleash their hidden aces.

Boruto Episode 57, which is titled "Reason Why I Can't Lose" will be released sometime next week. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates.
