(slightly old thread, but anyways)

I'm personally dead-beat on who Kawaki is.

I highly doubt he's just an average shinobi. Most options like being an experiment of Orochimaru or an Ōtsutsuki clan member are too clichè.

Something I wonder more about is how he fights. He clearly dislikes ninja culture, which would include using chakra to execute attacks, so what does he use to fuel his attacks? Could he be using something like natural energy? Or could be using chakra, and simply dislikes how ninjas have effected the world (which again, seems like a clichè reasoning to me)?

As for him killing Naruto -- it seems very unlikely. Even if Naruto may have been stronger when he was 16-17, he is isn't weak now. Plus, I'm pretty sure he could win if he was assisted by several others.

Seeing as the Boruto manga is released monthly, unlike the original Naruto, which was released weekly, getting to find out who Kawaki is will be very painfully slow.

Just a side note/question: If you think Naruto could be beatable since it's possible to still beat someone stronger than you, do you really believe Naruto has been killed, or are you just playing devils advocate?
