However, Kawaki doesn't have to match Naruto's power by any margin to defeat him. Himawari took him out because he didn't expect she'd be able to hit a pressure point, which is quite a skill. If he'd been aware he just could've defended himself easily, but the point was that he didn't.

Naruto is a series with enough abilities that, when used right, can defeat even gods like Naruto without the user needing to be gods. I'd prefer if Kawaki uncovered some forgotten artifact, power or skill that granted him something nobody really expected and so is an advantage. After all, something like the Six Paths of Pain is useful as long as nobody knows the secret. Obito's Kamui is really strong, but much more manageable when you know the secret. Orochimaru expected neither Totsuka nor Reaper Death Seal, which is why he taunted Itachi when stabbed that it wouldn't hurt him and then promptly lost, and didn't take greater action against Hiruzen. Even people like Kakuzu lost because they made a mistake in judgement. All it took was them making a mistake in judgement.
