Proving to be very hostile at first, he displays his incredible skills against Garo, an Outsider member of the Kara Organization, and Konoha’s ninja are forced to imprison him to keep him safe within the village walls. However, Boruto immediately recognizes that something special connects and unites him: too Kawaki has a Karma symbol on one palm.
After various vicissitudes, Kawaki finally lets herself go and becomes the apprentice of the Seventh Hokage, who trains him in ninjutsu. So let’s find out his story.
