Kawaki

Kawaki is a mysterious, young boy, who holds a considerable significiance to Kara, being deemed as the vessel.

## Background

During his childhood, Kawaki was originally raised solely by an drunkard and physically abusive man until Jigen bought him with a large sum of money. Taking over his custody, he told Kawaki to make himself at ease from now. At some point later, he received Kāma and ripped out Garō's jaw, the latter he asked forgiveness in doing. Eventually, Kawaki realized that Kara has only been using him and escaped and has been hunted by some of the organization's top members.

## Personality

While much is unknown about Kawaki's personality and views, he is shown to be highly aggressive and foulmouthed to those he dislike or his opponents. At the same time, he can remain calm and collected when questioning strangers, such as when Kawaki listened to Konohamaru Sarutobi's explanation about himself and his team. He is also more than willing to kill even those who are not directly a threat if they only got in his way, as shown when he threatened Konohamaru's team that he will kill them if they try to fight him. Kawaki deeply resents the Kara organisation, becoming highly alert and aggressive when facing off against members of the group. He also seems to particularly detests Jigen despite the latter saving him from his former physically abusive caretaker, likely as he saw him and Kara to be just manipulating him, as he went into a rage upon remembering him. Kawaki also seems to possess a dry sense of humor, as he mocked Garō for his disfigured jaw, which Kawaki himself caused in the past.

Later, Kawaki apparently came to despise shinobi as he became driven to end its era once an for all.

## Appearance

Kawaki is a young man with grey eyes and bushy black hair, the sides of which are shaven and blond in colour, a tattoo of the Roman numeral Ⅸ under his left eye, a pair of piercings on his right eyebrow and stud earrings. He wears a shirt with a sleeveless vest jacket with stripe patterns on his collar and dark pants with a studded belt. He has a Kāma on the palm of his left hand in the shape of a diamond, which spreads across the left half of his face, chest, and arm, glowing red upon activation.

Later in life, he is seen wearing a violet infinity scarf and belt, white overalls with his chest exposed, and a black vest trench coat.

## Abillities

Although not much of Kawaki's power has been seen, it is certain that he is considerably strong, as while young, he was able to destroy Garo's jaw and destroy dozens of well armed puppets. Even while exhausted, he can easily fight against and eventually kill Garo and repel Team Konohamaru. As an adult, he claims to have killed Naruto Uzumaki, an extremely powerful individual considered to be the greatest shinobi ever and can fight evenly with 16-years old Boruto Uzumaki wielding the powers of Kama and Jougan.

### Kama

Kawaki possesses the Kama mark, with which he is able to absorb flames and cause large-scale explosions with his Kāma. However, using the mark causes his body to overheat, leaving him unconscious. As an adult, he can activate it at will, causing it to expand across his body.

### Taijutsu

Kawaki specializes in close-quarters combat. He displays himself to be in excellent physical condition, with incredible speed and resilience, as he was able to continue fighting effectively while in a very battered state and having just woken up from being unconcincious and could effortlessly dodge Garo's blast and swiftly cover the distance between them.

### Ninjutsu

Kawaki displays being able to produce a powerful shockwave from his body, repelling all around, even the ground below him. He can also manipulate his arms into different shapes such as a scythe.

### Bukijutsu

Kawaki has been seen to be proficient in fighting with a bō, able to match Boruto's swordsmanship when they faced off as adults.
