### Past

During his childhood, Kawaki was raised by a man who suffered from alcohol problems and beat him constantly, until Jigen bought the boy with a large sum of money. Taking over his custody, he told Kawaki to be at ease from now on, as after all, he was his new father. So Jigen took him to Kara's hideout, where he performed experiments on his body with the organization's scientist and researcher, believing that the boy might be able to forcefully receive Karma into his body. In the end, the test was carried out with several children and all died, except Kawaki, who survived and received the seal of Karma in the palm of his left hand. Later, the boy was subjected to being beaten by Jigen so that he could learn to use the power of Karma, even against his own will. At some point later, he mastered Karma more and pulled out Garō's jaw.

At one point, he underwent a series of changes in the structure of his body, being transformed into a scientific weapon, in which he had all his blood vessels and his nervous system replaced by some inorganic technology.

Soon after, Garō finds the boy and shows his intention to take him to see Kara again, with both of them starting a short fight soon after. Kawaki is apparently defeated by Kara's outsider, but manages to turn the fight around using a new power, stronger than the one shown earlier, defeating Garō and killing him, even with the pleas to be spared. When he kills the outsider, Kawaki looks ahead and sees that the Konoha boys survived their attack because Boruto was able to absorb part of it with his Karma thanks to the resonance caused by the use of Kawaki. It's noted that the boys of Konoha did not even have the slightest knowledge of that power. Then the boy falls unconscious on the floor, and Katasuke watches him noting that his body has been totally modified into a living Scientific Ninja Weapon.

When Kawaki passes out, he is taken to Konoha Hospital to recover, where he stays until he wakes up and runs into the Seventh Hokage and his supporters. Thinking that the people there would also harm him, the boy tries to escape from the hospital, but is stopped by Shikamaru, who guarantees that no one there will harm him. Later, the boy is taken to be monitored at Naruto's house, where he violently pushes the kitchen table in yet another attempt to escape, but gives up the idea of ​​escape when he sees the power of the Seventh Hokage, and the guarantee that no one would harm you in Konoha.

Upon hearing that the young Uzumaki's mark was achieved after a fight with a Ōtsutsuki, Kawaki also tells about how he was forced to receive Karma. He suggests to Boruto that they both work together to investigate more about the brand and try to find a way to get rid of it. Despite consenting to support the boy, Boruto is still unhappy that he destroyed his sister's flower pot, even though it was not on purpose. Later, the Seventh Hokage decides to accompany Kawaki in search of a new vase of flowers to prevent him from stealing one.

Seeing how much Boruto had fun after the fight ended, Kawaki remembers how he was constantly beaten up by Jigen to learn how to use his Karma. Later, the Seventh Hokage comes to his office to work on the paperwork and takes Kawaki so that the boy can be seen. Seeing his curiosity about training earlier, Naruto asks if Kawaki would like to learn how to use chakra and explains that the possibility of using such energy is not exclusive to the shinobi.

Boruto then enters the room and encourages Kawaki not to give up on something just because it is difficult, also confirming that he is determined to help him in your research on Karma. Intending to pass on to Boruto what he knows about Karma, Kawaki accompanies him to a slightly more isolated area, where they are under Naruto's supervision and receive the support of his daughter.

## Non-Canon Info

### Joining the Astro Outlaws

Kawaki Uzumaki, a name that reverberates within the cosmos, emerges from the dust and debris of his failed assault on Alexander's beloved ones, carried out alongside the menacing God of Chaos. In the aftermath of the futile attempts to harm Alexander's circle, a cloud of regret and frustration looms over Kawaki. His heart aches with the sting of defeat, a feeling he despises and yearns to escape. In his desire to gain strength and avoid future failures, he sets his sights on the notorious band of brigands known as the Astro Outlaws.

Among the bandits of the cosmos, Astro Outlaws wear their infamy like a badge of honor. A group of ruffians bound by a thirst for power and wealth, their goals align with Kawaki's current ambitions. The Outlaws, intrigued by Kawaki's boldness and his thirst for power, extend a cold, rough hand of acceptance.

Kawaki grasps this opportunity tightly, eager to sink his teeth into the cutthroat world of space piracy. His initiation is a whirlwind, filled with grueling trials and a brutal introduction to the harsh reality of the outlaw lifestyle. Despite the odds stacked against him, Kawaki thrives. He rises through the ranks, his determination fueling his ascent and his thirst for power a beacon guiding his path.

On board their flagship, the Quasar Raider, Kawaki learns the art of piracy. He learns to read the stars as a map, to listen to the whispers of the cosmos, and most importantly, to wield power without fear. The crew, initially wary of the newcomer, soon acknowledges his prowess and potential. They share tales, spoils, and lessons, their respect for Kawaki growing with every successful raid.

The world of the Astro Outlaws is as chaotic and turbulent as the cosmos themselves. But within this storm, Kawaki finds his place. His name, once a symbol of failure and defeat, becomes a beacon of fear for those who dare cross the Outlaws. But as he delves deeper into the world of space piracy, he can't shake off the image of Alexander, the man whose life he tried to shatter. Is this path leading him to the power he craves, or is it simply another destructive cycle destined to end in defeat? Only time will tell as Kawaki carves his destiny among the stars, now as a member of the infamous Astro Outlaws.

### Defeat number 2

The swift defeat of Kawaki Uzumaki and his notorious crew, the Astro Outlaws, was nothing short of a cosmic spectacle. Kawaki, a youth of troubled descent from Togakurea, became enmeshed in the lawless lifestyle of a space pirate. His search for dominance and power found him at the helm of the Astro Outlaws. But his ambitions were brutally thwarted, marking a swift end to his reign of terror.

Under Kawaki's rule, the Astro Outlaws had evolved into a formidable entity. Their fleet, spearheaded by the colossal flagship 'Quasar Raider' and accompanied by 'Nebula's Shackles', a constellation of twenty-four smaller vessels that merged into one massive spaceship, represented a daunting force. These smaller crafts served as agile combat ships and mobile prison units, ensuring the pirates could capture and contain captives amidst the vast vacuum of space.

But the vast cosmos is not blind to misdeeds. Kawaki and his crew drew the attention of Orion's Order, a beacon of justice in the universe. Unyielding and unwavering, Orion's Order accepted the challenge, ready to bring the Outlaws to account.

The confrontation was a cosmic chess match, a test of strategy and strength. But the scales of battle soon tipped in favor of justice. The disciplined, tactically superior, and combat-proficient Orion's Order began to dominate, their resolve never faltering. The Outlaws found themselves outmaneuvered and overwhelmed.

As the dust of the space battle settled, the once dreaded 'Quasar Raider' was abandoned, and the 'Nebula's Shackles', devoid of their captors, floated eerily through the empty void. The captives from Togakurea and other systems, once held in the belly of the Shackles, found themselves staring at a starkly changed reality.

However, the Astro Outlaws, in a final act of defiance, managed to escape in an unnamed vessel, leaving their prisoners to their fates. But their fates would soon change. In a turn of events, these captives found rescue at the hands of Orion's Order. Not just freed, they were offered a chance to stand against the very forces that had once confined them. A chance to join the ranks of Orion's Order and fight for justice.

In the aftermath, the space pirate landscape was irrevocably altered. The Outlaws' flight served as a stark reminder that power built on oppression and fear is short-lived. The universe echoed with the tale of their fall, a reminder that no matter where one chooses to wander, justice has a way of finding them. The Astro Outlaws, once a formidable entity, were reduced to mere whispers in the cosmic winds, their reign a testament to the impermanence of ill-gotten power.
