Board Thread:Theories and Speculation/@comment-34758550-20180220094032

After seeing a picture on the internet, I am convinced Iwabe is Kawaki. They have similar faces/hair, similar black coat, and wield the SAME WEAPON!! Also, if we are assuming that Kawaki is supposed to be a friend from Boruto's childhood, and that he is currently in the show, there really isn't any other candidates for Kawaki (Denki can barely walk on water). Iwabe may have gotten held back a couple times, but this is not because of his combat abilities, and is actually in part because he has old world values and beliefs. We also see that he is one of the characters in the blood mist story arc to defeat a blood mist ninja, along with naruto and sarada. Also concerning Iwabe, there is conversation where Iwabe relates to kagura feeling like he is stuck in the shadow of his grandfather, except we actually have no idea who Iwabes parents/grandparents are, or what clan he is from. I believe that he is the direct descendent ,or at least somehow related to, Hashirama Senju. This is because his skin color and eyes are very very similar to Hashirama. He also uses full control freely Earth Style in the same way that Hashirama uses full control Wood Style freely, and Earth Style is actually half of Wood Stlye, which is a mixture of Earth and Water. Iwabe is also obsessed with strength, and wants to become the Hokage, so unless he is just full of himself, I believe there is a lot of development and reveals in store concerning Iwabe in the future of Boruto; especially since he is squad leader and obviously an important character, but we really don't know anything about him yet.
