As Naruto sleeps, Kawaki repairs the vase he broke. Suddenly, Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Beast, appears before him. Kurama has been living with Naruto since he was sealed within him and tells Kawaki that Naruto used to be just like him. Upon hearing about Naruto's life, Kawaki aspires to become just like him. He reaffirms his decision to work with Boruto, who is also branded with a Karma, to defeat Jigen and the Kara.

He'd end up on the swings
as he watched the other kids
Als er den anderen
Kindern dabei zuschaute,
Miraba a los niños divertirse juntos
Miraba a los niños divertirse juntos
Lui si sedeva regolarmente su un'altalena,
Ele ficava no balanço enquanto
assistia às outras crianças brincando,
Он днями качался на качелях,
украдкой поглядывая на радостных детей.
