@Makimaki11, well, you have made a lot of possible assumptions, but something tells me that Kawaki doesn't wield any kind of "ninja" power (i.e. chakra-based), that's why he can't be a result of using Naruto/Sasuke and their powers, all of which are chakra-based. I build it on Kawaki's statement about Boruto ninja era coming to an end, which means that he's not a ninja and probably doesn't use their ordinary strengh. Possibly, it's some kind of strength opposing the usual chakra, hence the contrast between Boruto's and Kawaki's tatooes, which are the same and opposite at the same time. Boruto's one matches the pattern of chakra (blue), while Kawaki's is red. Something like "anti-chakra" was found, I assume?

Edit: Boruto seems to be highly involved in that issue, he knows Kawaki, could be even befriended with him. However, there must be a reason Kawaki's going to destroy the shinobi world, which already resulted in Konoha being devastated. Either he comes from another civilisation and wants to conquer the Earth, or he's a man who found this "anti-chakra"/was involved in research and decided to use it to destroy this world and create his own one. Could be possible that he just wants to bring chaos upon the world and destroy everything in it with this power. The first assumption contradicts the fact that Kawaki's fighing Boruto alone and there's no sign of an army or something like this. The third one is imperfect as well, since Kawaki said that only "ninja era" has came to an end, not the humanity itself or the whole world, so the second idea should be closer to the truth. Thus, it seems like we've got just an another guy who wants to rule the world with some god-like abilities and now Boruto is the only one who can stop him. Typically, as usual.

Also it seems like the sutiation is truly desperate. Overwise, Boruto must've denied Kawaki's statement about the end of the shinobi era, yet he almost argeed, although he added that even now he's still a shinobi. Probably, there's not so much left from shinobi world to save. Wow, then we're dealing with the crisis comparable to the Infinite Tsukuyomi or even a harder one, i.e. the complete breakdown of the shinobi system. Ok, perhaps only Toneri's Moon-falling threat had a bigger scale cause it was going to completely destroy the world, while here it's not the case.
