Boruto Promo Teases the Hero's Connection to Kawaki ✖ Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, introducing new members of the Kara Organization as well as the enigmatic young ninja known as Kawaki, and a preview for an upcoming episode reveals that the latter has a surprising connection to Team 7. While fans who have been following the manga know a lot about Kawaki and how he ties into the son of Naruto within the Hidden Leaf Village, the seeds are currently being sown for some big reveals. Currently, Team 7 is struggling to fight against the Hidden Mist Village warrior Ao, one of the most well-known ninjas that participated in the Fourth Ninja World War who didn't happen to live within the borders of Konoha. With the former ally turning his back on the ninja world thanks to the Kara Organization giving him a reason to live, as well as some insane power-ups thanks in part to the technology that has been strapped to his being, it's clear that the band of nefarious ninjas led by Jigen have several plans for the ninja world and Kawaki seems to be a big part of those.
