Having departed back to Konoha, Sarada helped Boruto walk, during which the group discovered destroyed puppets in the vicinity of an unconscious boy. As they began to examine the boy, Kawaki, for injuries, they discovered that he had a matching seal to Boruto's on his left palm. As Boruto's seal began to hurt Kawaki also felt the pain, making him abruptly wake up and destroy the area within his vicinity. Questioning who the team was, Konohamaru identified himself and asked for information regarding the crash. Refusing to provide information and wanting to be left alone, Boruto revealed his mark to the boy, resulting in Kawaki believing they were pursuers from Kara. As they tried to correct him, Garō made his presence known, announcing his intentions of recovering Kawaki. Kawaki resisted, showing the ability to manipulate his body structure into weapons.

When Kawaki killed Garō with a blast, Sarada and the others survived it because Boruto absorbed part of the explosion with his Kāma. This made Kawaki even more certain that the group had been sent by Kara. After Kawaki passed out and Katasuke determined his body to have been modified into a scientific ninja tool, Sarada was startled by Mitsuki's revelation he was developed through cloning technology by Orochimaru. Ultimately, it was decided to bring Kawaki back to the village to see the Seventh Hokage.

In the anime, Kawaki is instead taken to the Advanced Technology Lab first to be confined and examined until Naruto comes there to meet him. When Kawaki wakes up handcuffed in an unfamiliar room, he begins banging on the door trying to break out, still firmly believing them to be a part of Kara and working for Jigen. Sarada along with the rest of Team 7, Katasuke, Akita, and Sumire, are all observing him on a monitor trying to break down the door. When Sarada is concerned if Kawaki will be able to break down the door, Katasuke says that Kawaki won't be able to break out, but his body won't be able to withstand such reckless actions since he is still recovering from his fight with Garou. To prevent him from inflicting more harm on himself and calm him down, Katasuke releases a gas into the room to knock Kawaki unconscious. Sarada is visibly concerned about what the gas was but Katasuke reassures her that it was simply something to make Kawaki sleep for a while.

When Kawaki awakens from a nightmare, he is approached by Boruto, Sumire, and Mitsuki, who have come to bring him food and attempt to ease his suspicions but to no avail. Kawaki kicks the plate of food and Sumire away from him, thinking it was poisoned which angered Boruto. Boruto grabs his shoulder in a rage and squeezes it tightly causing Kawaki to wince in pain from his grip, Mitsuki tells Boruto to stop which snaps him out of it and he apologizes for hurting him. When they all return back to where Sarada is, who saw everything on the monitor, she scolds Boruto, telling him that he went too far and that Kawaki is still injured.

After Kawaki escapes the facility, Team 7 eventually figures out that he must have made it outside and goes after him. They eventually catch up with him only to find him strangling Sumire and surrounded by Konoha police, who are demanding him to stand down, threatening to fire at him if he doesn't. Sarada yells at them for this because Sumire is right there as well, but they ignore her and fire at Kawaki anyway, who survives the attack and flees from the area. Boruto tells Sarada and Mitsuki to go after him while he tends to Sumire, and the two of them pursue Kawaki into town. When they catch up to him he is once again surrounded by police who are all threatening to fire at him again if he resists. Sarada is shocked and implored them to stop but they ignore her and set Kawaki ablaze anyway.

Kawaki finds it strange that Naruto can be leisurely walking around. They run into Sarada in a taiyaki shop, and Sarada recognizes Kawaki. Naruto orders a taiyaki for himself and confuses Kawaki when telling him to pick a flavor for him, because he has no concept of snacks. Sarada recommends a safer option, but Kawaki picks another, annoying her. Kawaki is impressed with snack food. Sarada asks for a bite of his chocolate taiyaki, having never tried that flavor, and Kawaki curses at her. A running child bumps into Kawaki, who transforms his arm to attack the child, but is stopped by Naruto, who censors him. Kawaki tells the child he has to be on guard because there are dangerous things in the world. Sarada makes sure the child is fine and apologizes. Sarada and Kawaki argue over his outburst. Naruto criticizes Kawaki's lack of sociability. Naruto points out that he'll have trouble getting Boruto to cooperate with him if he keeps that attitude.

The three arrive at Yamanaka Flowers. Ino greets Naruto and Sarada and recognizes Kawaki from earlier talks with Naruto.

because he broke the flower vase. He picks one randomly and is criticized by Sarada, and Naruto defuses the argument before it can escalate. Naruto tells him to be sincere in his picking. Kawaki picks the same vase, pointing out the design and that it'll fit Naruto's house. Ino offers to add some flowers, but the sight of the stems triggers Kawaki, reminding him of the lab tubes and Jigen, causing him to drop the vase. Kawaki's Kāma begins to activate, but Naruto hugs him, telling him he's safe. Kawaki calms down, and they leave the shop. Sarada splits from them, telling Kawaki that since her goal is to become Hokage like Naruto, he can also count on her.

In the anime after Sarada tells Kawaki he can rely on her and leaves, Kawaki rejects Naruto's claim that the two of them are friends now by saying she should mind her business and that he doesn't need friends. Naruto takes Kawaki out to lunch at Ichiraku for a bowl of ramen, seeing Kawaki enjoying it, he tells him that there is a trick to making it even better. Naruto tells him that if Kawaki had shared his Taiyaki with Sarada earlier that she would in turn have shared her Taiyaki with him and then he would have gotten to try two flavors, and that friends share good things with each other. Kawaki turns down the notion of sharing and once again rejects the claim that the two are friends albeit not as harshly as before, saying he doesn't need them, to which Naruto responds that he'll understand someday.

The next day Sarada and Mitsuki come over to Boruto's house to visit him, but when Boruto asks why they came, Mitsuki reveals that Sarada had suggested they go there to spy on Kawaki, which results in a flustered Sarada. Mitsuki introduces himself to Kawaki while Sarada goes over to Boruto who is immersed in his video game to ask how Kawaki is doing, Boruto responds that he still has an attitude and asks if she's worried. Sarada says it isn't like that but then recalls Kawaki attacking a kid who bumped into him and then his freak out at the flower shop and Naruto consoling him. Sarada looks stern at first but then looks conflicted over in Kawaki's direction, shifting between concern and skepticism in her expression. Kawaki feels Sarada looking at him and looks back at her and asks why she's staring at him, calling her nosy in the process which offends her. Kawaki continues by saying that he has no interest in becoming friends with any of them, Sarada storms over to him and calls him rude for this and tries to explain herself but is cut off by Naruto.

After saving Himawari and Naruto from Delta, Kawaki decides to learn ninjutsu from Naruto. Having gotten on Boruto's good side now, Kawaki, Boruto, Shikadai, and Inojin are all sitting opening cards together as Sarada, Mitsuki, and Chocho watch them from a distance. Sarada wonders when did Kawaki and Boruto get so friendly and Mitsuki explains that after saving Himawari, Boruto has opened up to him a bit more.

Kawaki opens a pack of Gemaki cards and to everyone's surprise, gets an ultra-rare Yodaime card on his first try. Kawaki is unfazed by this and instead is more interested in Naruto's card that Boruto has and asks him if he'd like to trade. Boruto is surprised but Kawaki explains since he is unfamiliar with the Yodaime he has no interest in it, so he is willing to take Naruto's card instead since Boruto doesn't want it and he gladly takes Kawaki up on his offer. While Boruto is overjoyed at finally having a Hokage card that isn't his fathers, Kawaki stares intently at Naruto's card thinking about the Nanadaime Hokage as Sarada observes him.

2021-05-23 09h48 30

In the anime Shikadai and Inojin are replaced with Mitsuki and Sarada, who comment on Kawaki's luck, Kawaki however is unfazed by drawing the Minato card and asks who he is, to which Sarada scolds him for referring to Minato as 'This guy' and explains to him who Minato is and his relationship to Boruto and Naruto. Before Sarada can finish explaining, Boruto cuts her off by shouting in despair for pulling yet another Naruto card. Kawaki, having no interest in the Minato card, offers to trade with Boruto which he happily accepts. Sarada smiles looking at Kawaki and comments that an object's worth is in the eye of the beholder as Kawaki stares intently at Naruto's card.

Naruto teaches Kawaki chakra control which Kawaki is able to do without much effort, he tells Naruto that he's had enough of the basics and wants him to hurry up and teach him Kage Bushin. Sarada, watching him from afar with ChoCho, feels envious of all the special treatment Kawaki is getting from Naruto, although she is sympathetic to the circumstances. ChoCho tells her that's normal for him since Naruto thinks of everyone in the village as his family including her and Sarada, so that makes them special to Naruto too. Sarada agrees while still staring down at Kawaki and Naruto.

2021-06-01 01h28 14

In the anime ChoCho is replaced by Mitsuki who says the same thing, but this time Sarada is smiling while looking down at Kawaki.

Later while discussing Kāma Sarada remembers the mark on Sakura's forehead that has the same shape as Boruto's and Kawaki's Kāma marks and wonders if they are connected. Kawaki doesn't think it is but Mitsuki says that his parents told him there's a lengthy history surrounding the Byakugou no Jutsu and there's a lot about it that is still not yet understood. This prompts Boruto and Sarada to decide to go ask Sakura and Tsunade about the Byakugou in hopes of finding answers about Kāma, Kawaki however doesn't join them noting that there is still some unfinished business he has to do back home.

Kawaki warns Boruto that they'll eventually have to face Jigen and that he's an inevitable wall they'll have to overcome if they want to unravel the mystery behind Kāma and how to get rid of it since Jigen knows everything. Boruto agrees saying that they have to train even harder in order to do that and get stronger. He continues saying that this isn't just about Kāma, and that after everything that's happened he can't just leave Kawaki and his issues alone either. He calls Kawaki "brother" showing Boruto acknowledges him as family now and the two have mutual respect for one another as Sarada, Mitsuki, and Naruto all watch their interaction smiling.

While Kawaki is back home looking for the final missing piece of Himawari's vase his hand suddenly becomes heavy and his Kāma mark begins to spread. Boruto, away with Mitsuki, crashes into a tree as his Kāma also begins to act up, alerting him that something bad is going on with Kawaki and the two of them hurry back to find out what's going on. Kawaki, still struggling, a mysterious black aura pierces through his hand and begins to form a portal that Jigen comes out of.

Sakura, who was buying flowers at this time in excitement for Sasuke returning home soon, is visited by Sarada who asks her about her forehead mark. Sakura explains that it's a Jutsu wherein in an emergency, you can pull out incredible power by releasing all of the chakra you've been storing in the mark bit by bit every day. Sarada tells her that Naruto already told her that and explained to her how Kāma looks similar to the mark on her forehead and wondered if the two might be connected. Sakura further explains that according to Tsunade, it's a jutsu that's existed for a really long time from the age of the sage of six paths.

Sarada is confused at this and about to ask more but is cut off by Sakura who says she has to also go do some grocery shopping and asks Sarada if she can take the flowers home for her. Sarada immediately realizes from the flowers that her father would be returning and the two of them smile in excitement. Ino, sensing Jigen's presence, contacts Naruto who tells her he wants to deal with Jigen himself and she complies, telling the police force to be on standby as Sarada and Sakura overhears.

Sarada begins to leave telling Sakura that she's going home and Sakura tells her to be careful. However, once out of view, Sarada rushes to Naruto and Kawaki's aid, thinking that even though she's unsure if she'll be of much help, she can't just sit back and do nothing.

In the anime Sarada goes by herself to Ino's flower shop to pick up the flowers Sakura had ordered for Sasuke. While talking with Ino she asks for a separate bouquet of flowers, Ino asks if she's buying them for a friend and Sarada nervously states yes. After Sarada leaves with the two bouquets of flowers she comments to herself that he may just think she's being nosy, referring to Kawaki. As Ino watches Sarada leave she wonders to herself if she was buying those flowers for Kawaki and comments that they seem to be getting along well.


After a brief scuffle between Naruto and Jigen, Kawaki realizes that Jigen is much stronger than he originally thought and knows if this continues, Naruto won't escape with minor injuries and be seriously hurt. He tells Jigen that he'll return with him on the condition that he doesn't hurt Naruto. Naruto is surprised and objects to this to which Kawaki tells him that he'd rather be Jigens prisoner than to let Naruto get hurt. Naruto objects to this again and Kawaki tells him to stay out of it and that it was never any of his business from the start, Naruto tells him that it's the Hokage's job to protect everyone in the village and that includes him. Jigen, growing impatient, realizes compromise wouldn't work with Naruto and decides to throw him into another dimension. Kawaki, distraught at the thought of Jigen potentially harming Naruto, rushes to try and stop him but the two of them had already vanished. Kawaki falls to his knees in shock as Jigen is about to leave Naruto trapped there and go back to retrieve Kawaki but is stopped by Sasuke.

to another dimension by Jigen, where he and Sasuke are now fighting together against. Sarada arrives seeing the black rods that had been previously used to impale Naruto had blood on them and wondered whose it was, she then looks inside the house and sees Kawaki sitting on the ground still in shock after what happened.

Sarada goes inside to check on Kawaki who is holding a picture of Naruto and asks him where Naruto is. Kawaki doesn't respond and looks back at Naruto's picture when his prosthetic hand suddenly falls off, dropping the picture with it. Sarada is surprised and confused at this but Kawaki, on the other hand, is devastated since he knows what this indicates. Because Kawaki's arm was infused with Naruto's chakra the fact that his arm has fallen off means Naruto's chakra is no longer active, implying he is either sealed away or dead.

Sarada rushes in and asks Kawaki again what the situation with Naruto is but he remains silent. Boruto and Mitsuki arrive and Sarada tells them that Naruto is missing, much to Boruto and Mitsuki's surprise, the situation grows worse when Shikamaru and other Jonin show up and binds Kawaki in his shadow paralysis jutsu as the other Jonin erect a barrier around the entire home, trapping himself, Boruto, Sarada, Mitsuki and Kawaki all inside as he interrogates them on Naruto's whereabouts.

Kawaki continues to remain silent at first but finally tells them the whole ordeal, Sarada is surprised and confused since she thought that the enemy was only after Kawaki, but Kawaki explains to her that it was because of Naruto's interference that he wasn't taken and ended up fighting Jigen on his behalf which resulted in his sudden disappearance. Shikamaru admits to being skeptical of Kawaki all along and suspects him of being a spy, angering Boruto who believes Kawaki's innocence and surprising Sarada who was taken aback by the accusation. She looks at Kawaki with concern as he is being so understanding and cooperative of Shikamaru's treatment of him.

As Shikamaru and Boruto continue arguing back and forth over Kawaki's innocence, Sarada watches Kawaki as he solemnly stares down at Naruto's arm, remembering all the time he's spent with him and then Jigens words to him of him being empty. Getting more and more agitated at Jigen's words and his conflicted feelings on Naruto's unusual kindness towards him, Kawaki begins to hyperventilate, startling and concerning Sarada as he starts asking why Naruto has been so kind to him, why has he gone so far for him?. Sarada gives him a sympathetic smile and opens up to him about her own personal feelings about Naruto, Boruto, and her father, something she's never told anyone else. Empathizing with him she tells him that there was a time that she wished Naruto was her father and that she was jealous and angry at Boruto for always complaining when he was so blessed compared to her, Kawaki glances at her quietly listening as she continues by explaining that Naruto thinks of everyone in the village as family and that's just how he is.

After listening to Sarada, his prosthetic arm starts to glow and Kawaki senses Naruto's chakra start to flow back into it, making Kawaki able to reattach it and confirming for him that Naruto is still alive. Kawaki senses Naruto and asks Boruto to work with him as he uses his and Boruto's Kāma to use space-time ninjutsu opening the way to the dimension where Naruto is just as Jigen once did when he came through Kawakis Kāma to come to retrieve him. Kawaki, Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki all go through the portal to rescue Naruto. Before leaving, Kawaki tells Shikamaru that he will go get proof of his innocence.

After they all arrive they are greeted by another Kara member named Boro, whom Kawaki identifies as another inner member of Kara who in some ways is even worse than Jigen.

2021-07-04 16h12 07323

As Kawaki and the rest of Team 7 face Boru, Sarada observes the fight from a distance as Boruto and Kawaki attack Boro. Boruto attacks Boro with his Rasengan but it is ineffective and Boro quickly heals from it. Kawaki then also charges in at Boro and tells Boruto not to let up, but as Kawaki attempts to use his Kāma to counter Boro's jutsu, his and Boruto's hands begin to feel heavy and his Kāma recedes. As this happens, Kawaki and Boruto are both attacked and nearly killed but Mitsuki intervenes and protects Boruto from Boro, but is also overpowered and weakened by the strange jutsu Boro is using. Sarada then throws a giant boulder at Boro as a distraction and then jumps down telling Mitsuki to grab Boruto while she grabs Kawaki and the two of them retreat to somewhere safe.

2021-07-04 16h18 11

Kawaki is frustrated with Sarada for running away but she tells him had they not then all of them would have died. Sarada reassures him that she too wants to save Naruto and has no intention of leaving without him, but they can't win by attacking Boro separately as they have been. Mitsuki has Sarada analyze the strange mist Boro was using that he collected while fighting him and she confirms his suspicion that it was in fact a virus he was using against them. Mitsuki suggests that before they make their next move that they should nominate a captain to guide them and he suggests Sarada for her swift thinking with their retreat. Boruto argues against it asking why Sarada gets to be captain but Kawaki chastises him saying he definitely isn't suited for it and that he's also in favor of Sarada, believing she will up their chances of winning. Sarada puts on her headband and declares them the new Team 7, now including Kawaki.

2021-07-04 16h14 39

In the anime Kawaki passes out from the virus while discussing their next course of action and Sarada yells out his name looking down at him concerned as Boruto also slowly passes out shortly afterwards. After Mitsuki explains to Sarada what Boro is using is a virus, he gives Kawaki and Boruto the antibodies he created and the two awaken shortly after that to continue discussing what to do next.


Sarada faces off against Boro alone for a short while and seemingly loses as he starts to choke her, however this was all according to plan as she purposefully allowed herself to be grabbed so she could hit him at point blank range. She uses the fireball jutsu and sets his entire head on fire. After this, Boruto and Kawaki leap out and Boruto prepares to strike Boro with the Rasengan as Kawaki places his hand on Borutos back, transferring some of his Kama power to him to create an even stronger blast from the Rasengan, causing Boros left side to be completely blown off.

However, to their surprise, Boro is not dead and regenerates very quickly. Sarada reminds them to

IMG 20191220 180940

stick to the plan and the four of them get into position, Sarada and Mitsuki on one side and Boruto and Kawaki on the other. Boro sees through their plan and decides to break up their teamwork by attacking Naruto, which works as Kawaki breaks formation and sprints after him. This being an obvious trap, Sarada calls out to him.

After Boro tricks Kawaki into coming after him by threatening Naruto, he unleashes his real attack intended for Kawaki using gunpowder and throwing Shuriken at him for Kawaki to deflect causing a spark and igniting the gunpowder which badly wounds him. Shielding Naruto in the process, Boro calls Kawaki weak and that he's gone soft since being in Konoha and that Kara will have to retrain him when they bring him back. Boruto rejects this saying that Kawaki is a resident of Konoha now and refuses to let them take him, to which Boro replies that he intends to take Boruto as well but Boruto is fed up with him and charges at him along with Mitsuki.

While Mitsuki and Boruto are fighting Boro and getting beaten, Sarada tries throwing Shuriken to avoid igniting the gunpowder but they are easily melted by Boro's lava style. Mitsuki binds Boro long enough for Kawaki to get in close and blow him away, leaving only his upper half of his body. But unfortunately, Boro once again regenerates instantly. Kawaki asks for Boruto and Mitsuki to buy some time for him, Boruto does as requested and proceeds to stall for time, believing Kawaki had a plan and tells him he's counting on him, meanwhile, Kawaki and Sarada hang back and discuss the situation.

Kawaki explains that there is a way to neutralize Boro's regenerative ability and how all members of Kara had their bodies modified by a guy named Amado, including himself, and that Amado is a genius but his technical skills have a weakness. The downside to scientific ninja tools is that the more powerful they are the bigger they've got to be, meaning there has to be a core about the size of a heart somewhere inside him. Sarada doubts it at first, but Kawaki knows for a fact that is the case because that kind of regenerative power is impossible without a giant core which is Amado's shortcoming. But the issue is where the core is inside Boro's body.

Boruto naruto next generations 42 27

To find out, Kawaki relies on Sarada to watch closely using her Sharingan to spot where it is as he runs off to back Boruto and Mitsuki up while she analyzes the situation.

After watching closely, Sarada figures out how Boro's core works and where he's moved it thanks to Kawaki, Boruto, and Mitsuki's repeated attacks on him. Now knowing where his core is, to avoid Boro from realizing what their plan is and move his core again, Sarada acts on her own as to not risk alerting him of her knowledge of where his core is. Although she hasn't mastered it or used it in battle before, Sarada asks for her dad to give her strength as she uses Chidori to strike Boro's core before he has the chance to weave hand signs.

In the anime Boruto and Mitsuki charge ahead without Kawaki asking them to and Sarada attempts to follow suit but is stopped by Kawaki who grabs her arm and asks her to do him a favor. Like in the manga Kawaki explains to Sarada about Boros core, holding Sarada;s hand the entire time he's explaining. Sarada is distracted when she sees Mitsuki being hurt and pulls away from Kawaki abruptly to go chasing after Mitsuki, Kawaki calls out for her to wait but to no avail. Kawaki jumps over Sarada and blows Boro's entire upper half away with assistance from Mitsuki but he once again regenerates quickly.

Kawaki looks back at Sarada and she looks at him, understanding what he's saying without him using words. Boruto asks Kawaki if he has a plan. He assures him that he does. Boruto and Mitsuki charge on ahead to fight and stall Boro while Kawaki stays behind and tells Sarada he's counting on her before joining up with them.

Sarada successfully removes and destroys Boro's core preventing him from regenerating, Kawaki is impressed by Sarada's jutsu, Chidori. Without the core, Boro's body begins to puff up and distort from the scientific ninja tools embedded in his body going haywire after the removal of the core. Boruto wants to finish him off but Kawaki says to leave him be and focus on rescuing Naruto, assuming Boro would no longer be a threat to them.

Kawaki and Boruto successfully release Naruto who is unconscious and they celebrate briefly but it's cut short by Boro crushing Mitsuki with one of his limbs. Kawaki blasts Boro's arm away which doesn't regenerate but then swats Kawaki away with his other arm knocking him unconscious. Sarada then tries to weave hand signs to use Katon but Boro grabs her and attempts to crush her but she is saved by Boruto.

After Boro is defeated by Momoshiki taking over Boruto's body, Team 7 returns to Konoha. Kawaki, Sarada, and Naruto are all bedridden at the hospital but Naruto wakes up to Boruto, Hinata, and Himawari by his side. Boruto is ecstatic at his father waking up while Naruto is confused and surprised to be alive back and back home in Konoha. Boruto immediately runs to tell Kawaki that Naruto is awake, who is currently talking to Katasuke and Sumire about his condition.

Katasuke tells Kawaki that he could be suffering an adverse reaction from having forced the continued attachment of the chakra incompatible prosthetic hand and that it may be that the nanomachines in his blood are attempting to reject it. He tells him at this rate his body's physical functions will keep declining bit by bit and his chronic muscular pain will likely persist. Sumire tries to give Kawaki something to help alleviate the pain but Kawaki declines.

Katasuke says normally it would just be a matter of performing the appropriate treatment but the workings of Kawaki's body are far beyond their understanding, making them unable to help him any further. Kawaki tells him that it's alright since his body's been made to not die so easily anyway for better or worse. As he says this, Boruto bursts through the door giving the news that Naruto is awake.

Meanwhile, Sarada explains to Sasuke what happened with Boruto during their fight with Boro. Based on Sarada's description, Sasuke determines that it's connected to Otsutsuki, which is later confirmed when Mitsuki confides in Sasuke alone about the situation.

While Sasuke and Mitsuki are discussing the connection between Kāma and Otsutsuki, Naruto and Shikamaru go to Kawaki's room to see how he's doing. Kawaki asks if Naruto should be

moving around so soon but he tells him that he feels fine now, putting Kawaki at ease who was really worried about him. Naruto thanks Kawaki for going to great lengths to save him but Kawaki tells him that he didn't do a thing and that he should instead give his thanks to Sarada and Mitsuki, who were the real key players in taking down Boro.

In the anime, Kawaki and Sarada, accompanied by the rest of Team 7, go to Naruto's room instead to see how he's doing. After a while Sakura shows up and tells everyone to leave so that Naruto can rest. Kawaki pulls Boruto aside to tell him about what happened to him during the Boro fight since he's unable to remember. Shikadai and Inojin surprise them mid conversation by bringing Taiyaki and telling Kawaki to pick whichever flavor he wants. Kawaki recalls back to when he first met Sarada and she recommended him to try the custard flavor. Remembering this, Kawaki chooses to try the custard flavor which he finds really delicious and scarfs it down just like the chocolate one. Later on once everyone leaves and Kawaki is alone in his hospital room, Kawaki closes his eyes and thinks of all the bonds he's made thus far, one of them being Sarada. This happens after Kawaki overhears Shikamaru telling Naruto that Kawaki can't be trusted and that keeping him here puts everyone in danger. Kawaki gets out of bed and goes over to open the window, looking out at the sunset he says "At this rate..." as he's contemplating leaving.

At home, Kawaki has a nightmare where Jigen attacks the village and everyone he cares about is dead, one of which being Sarada. The images of the village in ruins, innocent people dead, and the people he holds dear lying lifeless before his eyes as Jigen hovers above them shocks Kawaki awake. This dream and the fear of it soon becoming a reality prompts Kawaki to begin writing a goodbye letter and leaving the village in order to protect everyone, believing this was the only way to keep everyone safe, for he blames himself for their lives being in danger in the first place.

2021-10-12 17h10 05

After Isshiki invaded the village and was successfully defeated by the combined effort of Naruto, Sasuke, Boruto, and Kawaki, they all return home to Konoha where they are greeted by Sarada, Mitsuki and Sumire who rushed to meet them as soon as they learned of their return.

As Boruto is getting ready to leave and train before the final exams the next day, Kawaki comes downstairs and asks him why hes up and leaving so early. Boruto explains that hes going to train with Mitsuki before the exams tomorrow and Kawaki asks if Sarada will be going to train too. Boruto says no and that Sarada is going to ask Sasuke for advice on what to do instead, a bit envious at her getting to train with Sasuke and not him since hes his student. When Boruto asks if Kawaki wants to come along to train with them, he declines and goes back upstairs. The next day Naruto finally convinces Kawaki to come watch so that he can see how shinobi fight.

Ezgif-2-853632780208

Kawaki comes to the stadium and watches each match by himself not that far away from where Sarada and the others are sitting. With each match Kawaki becomes more and more bored even though he was initially intrigued. Kawaki becomes so bored that he starts yawning, which earned him a disaproving glare from Shinki. When it is finally time for Sarada's match, Kawaki waits patiently for it to start but is disturbed by Shinki glaring at him from below. He tries to ignore Shinki and avoid his gaze but his persistent staring makes him so uncomfortable that he gets fed up and leaves the stadium to confront him with Shinki follow shortly after. Once outside Kawaki asks him why he's been staring at him and Shinki tells him not to underestimate the exams and that he thinks he should watch the next match. Kawaki, not liking being told what to do, attempts to leave anyway but Shinki stops him and the two get into a breif scuffle with Shinki emerging as the victor, insisting once again that he thinks he should watch the next match before leaving Kawaki to ponder what he said. When Shinki arrives back at the stadium, Kawaki returns shortly after him to watch the match, becoming more and more intrigued and invested in every blow, at one point even looking worried after the final blow which resulted in a big explosion.

Shinki asks Kawaki if Sarada's match was worth watching.

Once the smoke clears and Sarada is declared the winner, Kawaki is left speechless before being approached by Shinki who asks him what he thinks and if it was worth watching like he said. Kawaki sulks in defeat but doesnt respond and instead lets out an annoyed grumble, not wanting to admit Shinki was right that he did infact find it worth watching.

Once the chunin exams are over and all the winners have been announced, Kawaki goes home and is asked by Naruto what he thought and Kawaki stubbornly denies enjoying it and claimed that he was annoyed by everyones desperation to win. However, actually inspired by the exams, he tells Naruto that it might now be so bad to become a genin, confirming he will now pursue becoming an official ninja.

Try as he might Kawaki is unable to get along with anyone and fails every test. Naruto gives him one last chance by sending him on a mission with Team 10 but Kawaki, having been discouraged by all his failures, declines saying that he is unsuited to be a shinobi. Naruto tries to convince him not to give up but to no avail. Kawaki goes home and gets into an argument with Boruto who scolds him for not putting in enough effort into becoming a shinobi and getting along with people. Fed up with all the constant pressure from him, Naruto, and everyone else, he runs off.

Later that night while on a walk he stumbles across Sarada training by herself and approaches her. Kawaki questions why she's still training after she's already become chunin and Sarada explains that she still has a long way to go to achieve her dream and that she wants to get stronger so she can protect everyone in the village like Naruto does. Kawaki tells her that he doesnt want to go on missions if he has to team up with people he doesnt like.

Ezgif-2-215ae8aa2434

Sarada explains to him that theres a limit to what he can do on his own and that if he wants to get stronger then he has no choice but to learn how to work with his friends and do missions together. Sarada tells him that this is "our village" and that their all able to work hard if its for the Leaf and asks if Kawaki feels the same way, but Kawaki gives a bitter smile and walks away saying that he has no place he can call his village. He leaves off by saying he'll train too.

The next morning when its time to join Team 10 for the mission, Shikadai assumes Kawaki wouldnt show and gets ready to leave without him, but to his surprise Kawaki appeared just in time before they left, ready to join them.

After Kawaki passes out on his way back from what he believed to be a failed mission, Boruto and co bring him along with an injured Chocho back to the hospital. While Sarada is visiting Chocho, she asks her how Kawaki is doing and Sarada, having already checked on him, tells Chocho that he'll recover in about 2 days rest.

Later Naruto meets with Kawaki to let him know that he passed the test and is officially a genin now who'll be going on missions regularly from now on. Sometime later, Naruto makes Kawaki officially a part of team 7.

Kawaki's unexpected weakness

After Naruto announces Kawaki as officially a part of team 7, Sarada tells Kawaki that if he has any questions about anything, he can ask her. When they depart on the thunder train to escort Katasuke to the hidden mist, Kawaki stares out in awe at the ocean, having only just now seen it for the first time. Sarada, seeing how excited he is about the ocean, she tells him that the view is even better on deck where he can also feel the sea breeze and that she's sure he'll love it. Kawaki takes her advice and goes out on deck, but to both their surprise he gets unexpectedly sea sick, Sarada remarks that it was an unexpected weakness.

Kawaki protects Sarada, Mitsuki, and Katasuke.

After the boat reaches Kirigakure, Kawaki is still visibly sea sick from the boat ride so Sarada tells him to rest up there and to meet up with them later when he's feeling better, which he apologizes and does without complaint. Later Kawaki rejoins with Team 7 while Boruto heads off to go meet up with his old friend Kagura. At the ceremony where it was suspected there would be a terrorist attack, one of the blimps explodes during take off and crashes into the ground. The impact sends everyone flying but Kawaki manages to catch himself from falling and deflects a huge piece of debris heading right for them, protecting Sarada along with Mitsuki and Katasuke who were on the ground behind him.

Sarada panics trying to wake Katasuke who was knocked unconscious by the blast but Kawaki runs over to her and tells her to calm down, reminding her that shes captain and cant be of any help to them if shes panicking. Sarada listens to him and calms down when Katasuke starts to wake up. Relieved to see hes still conscious, she tells Kawaki and Mitsuki that she'll look after him and for them to guard the area, Kawaki and Mitsuki both nod in agreement.

When its decided team 7 plus Kagura and his crew were going to one of the compromised islands that Team 5 is on to assist them since all communication is cut off, their only option of travel is a small rickety boat. Although Team 7 arent enthusiastic about the boat they accept it for what it is and agree to ride, Kawaki however refuses to get on and sits in a corner by himself as they wait for Kagura to arrive. Once Kagura finally arrives they all get on the boat with Mitsuki and Sarada dragging Kawaki onto it much to his displeasure. Kawaki resists and tries to get off the boat but Sarada and Mitsuki hold him back, Sarada attempts to calm him down by saying that she'll buy him Taiyaki and that she'll tell Lord 7th, but to not avail.

Once at their destination, Sarada and Mitsuki go ahead on their own for their rescue mission while the rest stay behind and keep watch. Boruto gets concerned by the two being gone so long but Kawaki reassures him that Mitsuki and Sarada would be fine and are capable of handling something like this.

After Mitsuki and Sarada succeed in rescuing everyone from the island, chaos breaks out with Boruto and co and they are forced to flee from their position. From there Kawaki, Boruto, and Buntan sneak onto a strange ship that appeared before them to investigate while Kagura and the rest stay behind. While on the ship Kagura and co eventually join them on the ship to help and they discover a huge chakra canon which the enemy uses to fire at the ship Sarada and Mitsuki are on their way to meet them in. When the enemy charges up the canon and is about to fire after they had all fought hard to stop it, Kawaki looked on horrified at the canon, now at 90%, about to fire at the boat Sarada and co was on.

After one of the Funato sneaks on board their ship and destroys their engine, they are forced to stop on a nearby island to get repairs. While there, Kawaki decides to go for a walk around the harbor since he isnt interested in boat repairs, Sarada was surprised when Mitsuki said he'd do the same. Later Sarada meets up with Mitsuki who was now alone to update him on the status of the boat, when she asks what was he doing he tells her that he was observing Kawaki. Curious, she asks why and Mitsuki says its because hes interesting, when asked how, he says its for many reasons, Sarada is still confused by his answer but decides not to question him any further.

When the boat is finally nearly complete they all take one more night to rest before setting out soon, during this time the Funato are preparing to attack at any moment. New Team 7 discuss the impending conflict and what a tricky situation it is and how they should handle it but its too complex to come up with an answer right at that moment. Kawaki comments that its up to their village to decide and that being captain seems like a real drag, Sarada just sighs at his remark and decides for them to just sleep on it. Sarada, Mitsuki, and Kawaki all go back to the lodge while Boruto decides to go for a walk a bit longer.

2022-03-27 07h11 32

Sometime after eating dinner Kawaki starts going berserk, struggling for control while also lashing out violently, saying he doesnt know whats wrong and that he cant control his body. Sarada is concerned and asks him whats wrong, to which Mitsuki reveals the leech on Kawaki's neck as the likely source of his rampage.

After Kagura is killed in battle, everyone grieves over his loss and vows to avenge him. Later after they bury Kagura, everyone is determined to get revenge, but first Buntan says they need a new captain to lead them going forward and suggests Sarada be the one to do so, everyone agrees without objection including Kawaki. Sarada prioritizes protecting the village to honor Kagura's dying wish, Kawaki and everyone else wants to pursue Funamushi and make the first move to avenge Kagura but Sarada insists on prioritizing the village as Kagura requested, Kawaki eventually agrees after hearing her reasoning. The food storage was completely destroyed so Sarada has Team 5 search for food while Mitsuki does a wide range search for the enemy.

As the day goes on Team 5 returns with very little food saying thats all that could be found, and given the impending war getting supplies anytime soon is slim to none, so they are forced to make due with what they've found. As everyone gathers around to eat what little they have Boruto and Kyoho complain about how little there is to eat, Sarada tells them to settle down but then notices Kawaki isnt there and asks where he is. Kawaki then suddenly appears jumping on top of a building infront of her, saying they are clueless. Confused, Sarada asks what he means and Kawaki says that the villagers have decided to forgo eating for their sake, much to Sarada's surprise who didnt realize this until now.

The villagers tells them not to worry about it and to just eat since without them their village will be defenseless and apologizes for the inconvenience. Sarada tells them they'll be fine without eating and to please let the villagers eat. Kawaki chimes in saying that since Kagura died none of them have had much of an appetite anyway which saddens Sarada.

2022-05-30 14h54 01

After its revealed that Funamushi had a son and Ikada betrayed them, Boruto feels guilty about pursuing revenge and wants to stop the war, Kawaki and others however are against this and want to keep fighting. Kawaki says the whole argument is stupid and that if someone comes at you then you fight back and that refusing to do so will just get you killed, Sarada tells him to try and be more considerate of Boruto feelings but Kawaki walks towards her and tells her that this is a battlefield and if she doesnt wanna die then she needs to think about herself first.

In the end Team 7 minus Kawaki decide to go try and stop the war by themselves leaving the others, including Kawaki behind. Kawaki watches as they leave, seemingly going to stay behind with the rest of those who disagree with stopping the war but he decides to go after them.

While Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki are on the boat trying to convince Ikada to stop the war, Kawaki is climbing the other ship with the chakra canon charging getting ready to fire. While Boruto is getting beat up by multiple Funato, Kawaki looks down and sees this, calling him an idiot and saying that he's gonna find and kill Araumi to end this war once and for all. Boruto and co eventually convince Ikada and the Funato to end the war while Kawaki stops Araumi just in time before he can fire the canon, putting an end to the war like he said he would.

When they return home and report back to Naruto, Boruto and Kawaki still dont see eye to eye on how the conflict should've been handled. Frustrated, Kawaki storms off, Sarada asks where hes going and Kawaki says to just let him do what he wants and leaves. Sarada is disappointed and tells Boruto not to get into fights in Narutos office. Later its revealed Kawaki didnt actually kill Araumi because part of him actually agreed with them in the end even though he wouldnt admit it.

Later Sarada meets up with Boruto and asks him what he was talking to Naruto about and he tells her that he wanted him to patch things up with Kawaki, Sarada agrees with him and also wants him to make up with Kawaki. They run into Kawaki who looks irritated when seeing Boruto and tries to walk off but Sarada tells him to wait, Kawaki stops to hear what she has to say and she tells him that Boruto has something to talk to him about. Boruto objects but Sarada tells him to just hurry and talk to him as thats what Naruto told him to do.

Kawaki waited for Sarada and Mitsuki to return at Konoha gate but only Sarada showed up, he asked where Mitsuki was and she said that he was still investigating. After explaining what they found out, Sarada showed him a scroll with the list of names of everyone who was on the train Boruto disappeared in and the two of them go to look into the passengers to see if they could find any clues on Boruto's whereabouts.

While searching, Kawaki says it might be a waste of time but Sarada says its all they have to go on right now. Sarada is surprised when she finds out one of the passengers on the train was an Outer from Kara and asks Kawaki if he knows them which unfortunately he doesnt, but he becomes anxious when she reveals that the person is an Outer from Kara.

After getting all the info they can, they leave the village to go rendezvous with Mitsuki to tell him what they've discovered. Kawaki comments that he's surprised that Konoha had information on Outers and Sarada replies that their valuable clues for tracking down Code.

Ezgif-5-f23185f2bf

Once they catch up, they find Mitsuki bound to a tree by paper seals, Kawaki wants to help but Sarada stops him and explains its a trap. Because of the trickiness of the situation, Sarada suggests waiting for reinforcements but Kawaki says it'll take too long and goes over to save him on his own. Kawaki is then swarmed by paper seals and is quickly covered up as Sarada and Mitsuki watch in horror, Sarada yells out to him but gets no reply from the now completely sealed Kawaki. The seals then suddenly burns away and Kawaki is freed, Sarada yells at Kawaki for setting himself on fire but Kawaki says it wasnt the first time so its fine.

After Mitsuki fills them in on what happened and how he got into that situation, Sarada and Kawaki also fill him in on what they found. Realizing the only way to find the answers that they need is to go after the other Outers, Kawaki asks Sarada if shes going to try and stop him but she actually agrees with him that they should go after them make them tell them where Boruto is.

Code Arc

After Kawaki, Boruto, Sasuke, and Naruto come back from their intense battle with Isshiki, Team 7 is temporarily disbanded and no longer able to go on missions due to Boruto still having Karma and the danger it poses. Because Kawaki is still relatively new to ninjutsu and they need to get stronger for the impending threat of the Kara member Code, Team 7 gather and begin working on the basics of chakra control, which frustrates Kawaki who feels training in the basics is too slow and that they should do some actual combat training instead. Sarada tells him to be quiet and to focus on training, but Kawaki and Boruto continue to bicker over the training method which frustrates Sarada even more who yells at them for disrupting the training. Kawaki tells her to shut up and continues to insist that this method of training is pointless, which Sarada insists that it isn't. Kawaki agrees that training in the basics is good, but given that Code could appear at any moment they don't have time for such a slow method of training and need to get stronger through actual combat. Kawaki attacks Mitsuki who says he is fine either way, but Sarada yells at him for making decisions on his own and reminds him that she is captain of their team.

Kawaki explains that the training he received from Jigen was grueling combat drills and that although he hated him and wished he were dead, his methods were effective and he improved rapidly. Sarada yells at him that that's pretty extreme logic, but Kawaki then turns to her and tells her to come at him and attacks her too. Sarada dodges his attack, pissed off at his attitude, she gives in and fights back. She uses her fireball jutsu against him but he blocks it, Kawaki appears running out of the smoke and Sarada throws a shuriken at him, which hits him in the arm, appearing to have seriously hurt him as he fell to the ground. Sarada looks on in shock thinking that she had actually hurt him which caused her to drop her guard, only for it to be revealed to have been a shadow clone. Kawaki appears behind Sarada and prepares to strike her but is blocked by Boruto who scolds him for going too far, but Kawaki tells him to chill out and that it's just sparring and that nobody's gonna die. Boruto still argues with him that he's too serious and suggests that the two of them fight to settle how they go about the training, whoever wins Team 7 will follow their method of training without complaint, which Kawaki agrees to. After fighting and losing to Boruto by subconsciously trying to use Karma, Kawaki accepts defeat and agrees to continue doing things their way from now on. Sarada comments that she can't believe he actually admitted he lost.

Despite coming to an agreement, Kawaki becomes more distant due to Amado's manipulation making him lose hope in them being able to deal with Code. He avoids going home and goes sit onto of the Hokage mountain, staring out at the village. Naruto approaches him asking why he hasnt come home and Kawaki says he likes the view from there, looking out at the village that he protects, he blames himself for disrupting the once peaceful village before he came and says that Jigen was right about him. Naruto lifts Kawaki over his shoulder much to his surprise and reassures him by calling him his son.

At home everyone has put together a welcome party for him since they hadnt had a chance to give him one yet. Boruto tells him he has a surprise gift for him and gives him his headband, Kawaki refuses because its important to him and he isnt a ninja yet but Boruto reassures him that he, Mitsuki, and Sarada already see him as a member of team 7 and considers him a precious friend. He continues by saying that just like Sasuke's headband it'll be a loaner until he officially has his own.

Later that night while in the room with Naruto he is still mulling over the threat of Code because of him. After Naruto falls asleep, Kawaki remembers Amado's words about re-implanting Karma, thinking to himself that theres still one way he can protect Naruto and Konoha.

Kawaki offers his life in exchange for Konoha and his friends.

The next day thanks to Inojin, Kawaki figures out how to escape the surveillance of the Yamanaka clan undetected so he could confront Code that night. After meeting up with Code he tells him that hes the one who killed Isshiki and that the others werent involved so kill him and leave Konoha alone, blaming himself for ever leaving Kara in the first place. Code finds this sentiment pathetic, disappointed that he approached him to make such a ridiculous proposal as to spare his friends in exchange for his own life which infuriates him. Code knees Kawaki in the stomach, saying he will kill everyone involved in Isshiki's death regardless of who they are. Kawaki grabs his leg begging him not to hurt Konoha which only infuriates Code further and he starts beating him again.

After returning home from a long all out fight against Code and Boruto's near death experience, Sarada expresses to Mitsuki how frustrated she is at not being able to do more and questioning if their just unreliable. She says that maybe she's just angry with herself.

Back with Code who after being betrayed by Ada and Daemon swears to get revenge on Kawaki by taking away everything that is precious to him, his village, Naruto, and his friends.

After Boruto and Kawaki are released, Sarada and Mitsuki meets Boruto at his house to go report in for a mission where they meet up with Kawaki and Sumire waiting for them. After being told about the room sharing mission Kawaki and Boruto are being forced to do and Sarada and Mitsuki being tasked with monitoring them, Sarada was surprised when she heard Shikamaru's plan for Boruto and Kawaki to live with Ada, even more so when hearing she has a crush on Kawaki. Despite accepting the mission and their roles in it, Sarada is visibly uncomfortable with it but doesnt have much say in the matter.

After living together for a day, Ada requests for Sarada and Sumire to join her for some girl talk, once the 3 are alone in a room Ada begins to open up to them about her feelings for Kawaki. Meanwhile Boruto and Kawaki are watching them on the couch from outside the room, Boruto is worried about leaving them alone with her but Kawaki says if Ada tried anything they'd just take her out. As Ada goes on about her feelings for Kawaki, Sarada is very uncomfortable with the subject and wonders why this is all she can think about, calling it stupid, but when Ada glances her way Sarada nervously plays along saying that she gets it and that she thinks everyone experiences those feelings when they find true love, the opposite of how she really felt about it.

554656567

Kawaki takes notice to Boruto seemingly having a conversation with Momoshiki and rushes angrily over demanding Momoshiki to come out, startling Boruto. Kawaki grabs Boruto and lifts him by the collar demanding Momoshiki to respond, Boruto lies and says Momoshiki isnt there but Kawaki knows he is. Sarada and Sumire come out and Sarada tells him to stop it and asks him whats going on. Kawaki looks at her and she continues by reminding him their in the middle of an important mission right now and this is no time for fighting. Kawaki tells her to stay out of it and that Otsutsuki dont care whether they 're in the middle of something or not. Shikamaru then communicates with him telepathically telling him to calm down and release Boruto, Kawaki tells Shikamaru that he can tell Momoshiki is up to something but Shikamaru reminds him of the look on Naruto's face when he saw his son die, causing Kawaki to hesitate and let him go.

After Kawaki seals Naruto away and resolves to kill Boruto once and for all against everyone's orders, Shikamaru tells Sarada and Sumire the truth about him being the one who killed Boruto before when he became Momoshiki and is now trying to do the same again for the same reason. Sarada immediately runs off but Shikamaru and Sumire try to stop her by telling her its too dangerous, Sarada however ignores them and runs off after them anyway because she cant just stand around and do nothing.

2656567567

Once Sarada arrives and see's Kawaki trying to kill Boruto, she shoots a fireball jutsu at him which Kawaki quickly reacts and absorbs before being hit with it. Sarada asks Kawaki whats gotten into him but Kawaki tells her he's only going to warn her once not to interfere or he'll kill her, Sarada is in disbelief and asks if he's serious which Boruto confirms he is and he really will kill her.

316567

Sarada is surprised that Kawaki would really go that far but resolves to jump down and stand firm with her kunai in hand infront of Boruto anyway, saying thats all the more reason to stay as a shinobi who aims to be Hokage. Kawaki slowly walks towards Sarada, his arm now transformed into a blade, he tells her that shinobi really are destined to die early, and then swings the blade at her. Boruto manages to save Sarada at the last second but at the cost of his right eye. Kawaki walks up to them and tells Sarada to move aside, or if she still plans to interfere, Sarada just looks at him in shock, still in shock that he's going this far.

Backup arrives and restrains Kawaki before he can do anything further and Sasuke jumps down and holds his sword to his throat, saying he would rather not have to hurt him and orders him to stand down. Shikamaru questions Kawaki on Naruto and Hinata's status and Kawaki tells him he only did what needed to be done for Naruto and Konoha's sake. Shikamaru doesnt believe him and says hes simply creating chaos but Kawaki just tells him he doesnt care if he understands and if he has a problem with how hes doing things then to just kill him, angering Shikamaru who calls him irredeemable.

Just then Momoshiki takes over Boruto which startles Kawaki and Sasuke, but before they could react Momoshiki absorbs Shikamaru's shadow paralysis that was binding Kawaki and tells him to take this opportunity to runaway but Kawaki refuses and demands Momoshiki tell him what he's really up to by helping him. Momoshiki ignores his question and just tells him if he truly hates and wants to kill him as badly as he says he does then he cant afford to get captured or die here. Kawaki reluctantly accepts his assistance and shrinks himself so he could get away before Mitsuki could grab him.

054546

Sarada concerned about what Mitsuki will do to Kawaki and goes after him.

Shikamaru orders everyone to go after Kawaki since he cant have gotten far and should be low on chakra now, meanwhile Konohamaru tells Sarada and Mitsuki to stay behind and tend to Boruto while he and Sasuke go join the others in their pursuit. Mitsuki however ignores this order and goes after Kawaki anyway, Boruto tells Sarada to go after Mitsuki since hes lost his cool and is worried about what he'll do to Kawaki. Sarada, remembering Mitsuki's disturbing words about what he'd do to someone who tried to kill Boruto, goes after Mitsuki.

Meanwhile Ada finds Kawaki who is recovering from using too much chakra and although he initially pushes her away, he opens up about his true feelings, saying how much he doesnt care about his own wellbeing and only wishes to protect Naruto, asking Ada to forget about him and focus on protecting Naruto instead. He expresses his fear of Momoshiki, that if he doesnt take Momoshiki out now then Naruto and the village he's cherished and protected will eventually be destroyed. He expresses even more fear of how if Momoshiki breaks free that it'll be too late.

Kawaki expresses even more frustration at the fact that its the Hokage's son, because who in Konoha would be willing to kill him? an act that would turn all your friends into foes, who would ever agree to take on such a task? Kawaki spirals into self loathing and says if only it wasnt the Hokage's son, his brother, but a outsider like him who nobody would mourn then it wouldnt be so hard and wouldnt matter if he died. These thoughts are what triggers Ada's omnipotence that swaps everyone's, excluding Sarada, Sumire, and Otsutsuki, memories to thinking Boruto is Kawaki and Kawaki is Boruto.

New Era: Part II

Boruto's Return Arc

Code taunts Sarada about Boruto, who he believes is Kawaki due to Omnipotence.

Everyone minus Sarada and Sumire are still strongly under the effects of omnipotence where their memories of Kawaki and Boruto have been swapped.

When Code invades Konoha with his claw grimes, Kawaki saves a civilian woman while Sarada saves other fleeing civilians elsewhere. It is then that Code emerges from one of the claw grimes Sarada just kicked down. Code says that its nice to finally meet Sarada and asks her Borutos whereabouts, Sarada tells him that Boruto hasnt been in contact with them for 3 years now hoping that would get Code to leave, but he reveals that he actually has given up on finding Boruto and decided to attack Konoha and his friends that he held so dear to lure him out instead. Sarada is then surrounded by multiple claw grimes getting ready to attack but is then saved by Boruto who tells her to go continue helping the civilian's while he handles Code.

After Code flees from being badly wounded, Boruto follows him before Kawaki or anyone else is able to get answers about whats going on. Kawaki reports to Shikamaru the situation and what seems to be a possible partnership between Boruto and Code but Sarada interrupts saying that its more simple than that. She explains simply that Code attacked Konoha and Boruto forced him to retreat so one things for sure is that Boruto and Code are enemies, but Kawaki tells her that regardless of what Boruto's purpose is that Boruto is an Otsutsuki, an enemy they have to kill because he is Otsutsuki. Sarada bites back saying that he's Otsutsuki too, but Kawaki gets closer to her and says that he's an Otsutsuki who kills Otsutsuki and that his power only exists to kill them, he further explains that once he wipes all the other Otsutsuki out he'll gladly die, but until then he'll do whatever it takes. Sarada tells him not to make her repeat herself that she wont let him have his way in Konoha as a ninja who aims to be Hokage. Shikamaru intervenes telling them both to chill out before he gets pissed off as the Hokage currently in charge now and they both settle down returning their focus to him.

Sarada relays what little intel she gathered about the trees people are trapped in, confirming that although she doesnt know the purpose but the people inside are still alive so there is a chance to save them. Kawaki listens silently as Sarada explains further that based on their conversation she heard earlier she thinks that Boruto knows whats going on, so for now they should set aside their differences and work together with Boruto to deal with Code.

  • After noticing Sarada staring at him, Kawaki bluntly states that he has no interest in becoming friends with any of them, even though the subject is never brought up by them.

  • Kawaki, struggling with teamwork, rudely brushed off everyone who tried to talk to him, however, when he notices Sarada training by herself in the training grounds, unlike everyone else who called out to him and got ignored, Kawaki doesnt walk away from her and instead he approaches her to talk to her about whats on his mind, something he refused to do for anyone else.

Red carnations when not being given to a family member are symbolic of love in Japan.
  • Flower symbolism is very prevalent for the ship, having 3 flowers already associated with them, Carnations, Camellias, and Lavenders, are the 3 flowers associated with the ship so far, the majority of which share the meaning of 'love' in Japan, while Lavenders means 'faithful'.

  • When Boruto tells her to go after Mitsuki who had lost his cool, Sarada remembers the disturbing words Mitsuki said before about what he would do to someone who tried to kill Boruto, who had now been revealed to be Kawaki, Sarada didnt argue and rushed after Mitsuki as she too was worried about what Mitsuki would do to him.

KawaSara has steadily grown in popularity as the manga has continued to develop their relationship and even more so now with them finally interacting in the anime. It has a decent amount of followers mainly on Tumblr and Twitter and is shipped mainly for their dynamic, how they look together, the potential their relationship has for the future, and their newfound trust and understanding of one another, mainly pertaining to their affection for Naruto and their father issues they have common ground on. It's also how despite the way Kawaki treated her at first, she still showed him compassion after witnessing him freak out when remembering his trauma. The pairing is often well supported amongst SasuSaku shippers who see some resemblance in KawaSara's dynamic and aesthetic with SasuSaku in their early days. Their main rival pairings are BoruSara, MitsuSara, KawaSumi, and KawaHima. It's also the rival pairing of SaraSumi, ShikaSara, InoSara, MetaSara, IwaSara, and DenSara. Their companion ships are often BoruMitsu and BoruSumi.
