He could very well be stronger. or he could use some kinds of a cheap trick or something like that? If he did defeat Naruto, my money is on a special kind of jutsu.

I simply don't believe the Curse Mark gives straight up power, it makes no sense to me with the given information. The otsutsuki edible-creation jutsu makes more sense, also because it would explain how kawaki would even begin to defeat Naruto (absorbing a Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken and sending it back to Naruto would definitely explain stuff like why the village is in tatters).

It fits with Momoshiki's vision (recreation of the fruit, a possible way to reincarnate in Boruto, continuation of the Otsutsuki way), unlike the straight power route.

I do agree it's too early to tell, the next chapter may give us a few major answers regarding the direction this is going in.
