Either that or Kawaki is the enforcer for the real Big Bad who will either be a believable antagonist or a generic villain...given the history of Ootsutsuki villains in this series it would probably be the latter. Killed, or perhaps he was dying. I don't know, but i'm curious to see where it goes. Still, we have a known aborted arc that neatly matches an existing ark, too neatly to be coincidence IMHO.

Also, i personally hope this is more of a joint effort between characters than the previous "Madara was behind everything" style of Naruto. Characters bound by a single ideal. Well, one can hope.
