Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' manga has seen the mysterious Kawaki grow closer with the Uzumaki family over the course of its latest arc, and has even taken that relationship to the point where Naruto is helping Kawaki train to use chakra. The two have bonded  together over their similar upbringings over the last few chapters, and Naruto has gone out of his way to provide Kawaki a comfortable home. But when Jigen arrives to take Kawaki back to Kara's hideout.

The latest chapter of the series cements just how much Naruto cares about Kawaki. When Kawaki tries to go with Jigen to keep Naruto from getting hurt, Naruto instead shuts this down, and says it's his job as Hokage to protect everyone in his village. This, of course, includes Kawaki.

But Naruto turns this down immediately, and tells Kawaki that he's got a problem with Kawaki's willingness to become a prisoner. Kawaki wanted to keep Naruto out of this fuss, but Naruto jumps into a new fight against Jigen in order to keep protecting him. Through this arc, Naruto has gone above and beyond for Kawaki with big examples being taking him into his home in the first place among many others.
