## Summary [ ]

A young Kawaki struggles into the training hall in Kara's hideout, where he stumbles into Garo . After a skirmish, Kawaki burns off the bottom half of Garo's face with his Karma . Years later, at a meal with Jigen , Delta expresses her dissatisfaction with the delay of Koji's mission to retrieve the Vessel. Jigen allows her to observe Koji but not interfere with his plans, and she brings Garo with her. Team 7 , as well as Katasuke and Chamaru , check on unconscious Kawaki for any injuries when he suddenly wakes up with an explosive blast after a nightmare about Jigen. Kawaki asks if they're trackers from Kara to which Konohamaru identifies himself as a ninja of Konohagakure and asks Kawaki to identify himself as well. Delta takes a spot next to Koji from atop a tree branch, observing the scuffle. Konohamaru informs Kawaki he will have to come back with them to Konohagakure, to which Kawaki objects, and Boruto shows his Karma to Kawaki and asks for information on it, to Kawaki and Delta's suprise. Kawaki, now convinced they are trackers from Kara, prepares to attack them but they are interrupted by Garo. Kawaki and Garo exchange unpleasant words and start to fight.
