Kawaki's Path to Becoming a Ninja Kawaki goes on a mission with Team 5 to capture a panda so Shikamaru and Naruto could assess his potential as a genin. He falls asleep, letting the panda get away but Iwabe and Denki manage to capture it. Kawaki leaves in the middle of them berating him and goes to trains. The boys gather up at the restaurant and discuss whether Kawaki is suited to become a shinobi. Boruto tries to give Kawaki some advice, but he lashes out about not wanting any friends. He goes on a mission with Team 15 and ends up scaring the child they were trying to return home. Naruto decides to put Kawaki on a mission with Shikadai and Cho-Cho, revealing that this is his last chance to become a genin. However, Kawaki leaves citing he's not suited to be a shinobi and receives his pay for the missions he undertook. Boruto tries talking to Kawaki about the mission, but he runs out. Hinata tells Boruto that Kawaki doesn't know how to interact with people because of the life previously lived. Kawaki finds Sarada training and they have a discussion about their goals. After training all night, Kawaki decides to show up for the mission and they head out with their client Mozuku.
