Kawaki is an orphan child raised by a drunken man, Who then sold him to Jigen for some money. That’s it, that’s what we know about the past of Kawaki so far, and that is who we have been told Kawaki is, but there is a couple of theories out there that change up that story substantially. But first, let’s take a quick summary of Kawaki’s life and his powers.
After the birth of Kawaki, he was raised by a single abusive alcoholic father in an outsider kind of remote village, where that village is located, we don’t know, but we can assume it’s in one of the border nations around the Land Of Fire, somewhere on the outskirts, but a definite location we have no idea.
Kawaki, in his childhood, cut wood to sell to pay for his father’s alcoholism. That is the only way his father would allow him to eat dinner. He lived this hellish existence until, Jigen came to his village, looking for children. Jigen bought him from his father for a somewhat substantial amount of money. It was at that point that he was taken from his remote village to Kara’s Hideout by Jigen.
At that point, it becomes clear to Kawaki that he and several other children are about to go through a round of scientific experiments.
These scientific experiments were Jigen’s trying to bind a Curse Mark to any suitable vessel, preferably a young child. To make a long story short, every child who Jigen collected outside of Kawaki dies in this binding process, and Kawaki is left with the Kama Seal on his left palm. This is everything we know about Kawaki and his powers. We know who Kawaki is, and we know how he got there, or is it entirely different?
There is a major theory on how Kawaki came to be in the Boruto Verse. which centered around his hair color, which is very unique, even for the Anime Universe of Naruto. Kawaki has blonde hairs on the sides and black hairs on top, This style is almost implying that he is a combination of two distinct bloodlines.
The Theory On How Kawaki Came To Be In The Boruto Verse: Is Kawaki Naruto’s Son
The first theory states that Orochimaru and Naruto had a kid!! and not in the way you are thinking… We all know about Mitsuki, we know Orochimaru is capable of making clones of himself. We also know that at the beginning of the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Kabuto and Orochimaru revived essentially everyone who is ever been important from the Universe of Naruto, Orochimaru and Kabuto are very good at obtaining DNA from those who you would think it would be difficult to obtain DNA from.
So this theory states that Orochimaru is using a bit of Naruto’s DNA that he had collected from either the time he invaded the leaf for the first time or any other time when Naruto bled on the ground or somewhere, the dozens of times it happened, and he used that DNA, to combine with his, and grow a little test tube baby that grew up to be Kawaki.
This theory is not as insane as it might sound because we already have an example of Mitsuki. But more than that, Kawaki has Naruto’s hair on the side and Orochimaru’s hair on the top. And on top of that, Why would a karma seal bind so well to Kawaki, as opposed to other children?
Orochimaru’s experiment with Curse Marks is incredibly well documented, and the parallel that it has with the Kama Seals is undeniable. Both are a seal placed by a user onto a vessel to use to reanimate one day. In addition to this, both the seals allow the seal is placed to use the Chakra of the person who placed the seal onto them.
Going even further than that, both seals slowly spread as they begin to give you more power, But as you use more of those seals’ power, the more you become like the person who put the seal on you.
So who better to receive a Kama Marking than somebody biologically predisposed to receive a curse mark? When we think about Mitsuki’s curse mark, it exists inside of him because Orochimaru implants them in any of his clones.
One step further than this is, Kawaki’s ability to morphologically change his arms and limbs into stone-like extensions, his ability to launch rapid cellular division in order to change his body’s anatomy into sharp blades of extending tendrils, is stated to be because of his Shinobi-Ware, But what if it is because of his likeness or genetic similarity to Orochimaru, who can do similar things.
After all, Orochimaru can stretch his limbs and arms, and so can Mitsuki, and it stands to reason that in order to stretch one’s arms and or one’s neck, it would require massive cellular division. This would also explain how insanely fast and powerful Kawaki is.
He was able to block a light-speed attack from Delta before even Naruto could react to it in order to save Himawari. Also, if you think of it from just an Anime standpoint, Kawaki is now biologically related to Naruto, which increases the stakes of his relationship tenfold. Now Naruto is no longer just Kawaki’s sensei, but he is his father, and now, Kawaki and Boruto are brothers from the same father.
