Probably that's Kawaki, idk. Maybe not. I'd prefer if the series went a different direction than Naruto Part 1 and 2. Agreeing with Blaze and Thekillman tho, already things are pretty dark, and things might get darker in coming years. Kishi didn't say that the series overall would be lighter, just starting that way. As the anime staff is doing this as they go, it's temperamental. A lot of main characters can die this time instead of just Neji. Though I think the ending will be happy somehow, since an apocalyptic ending where everyone dies would cause uprising amongst fans. Plus the whole lighthearted version of the ninja trope is there.
