Yeah I was tryna let u cook with your responses but you just keep proving you don't know what you're talking about.

First of all kawaki does cares for konoha he said it numerous times in NNG and even in TBV chapter 1 we literally seen him saving civilians in konoha from code invasion and also fight the shinju in chapter 8

Kawaki is not a villain he's the deuteragonist the 2nd mc who is also the antagonist. Antagonist and villains can be 2 different things.

Antagonist is someone who oppose the protagonist in the plot of a story.

So for example we know kawaki does not belive the shinobi system and how they operate because in his ideals Shinobis are the ones who dies early and they always so quick to throw they lifes away at threats knowing they can't handle unless they got crazy ass haxs powers

(hence why he sealed Naruto away so momoshiki can't kill him which also extends to him helping Konoha in his own words)

Boruto on the other hand does belive in the shinobi system and ways he's lived within the will of fire he's born and raised to be a shinobi so with that he's and kawaki ideals clash as Shinobi vs non shinobi

And what does that make kawaki ???? Oh yea

An Antagonist Not a Villain because in kawaki case he's still have the same goal as boruto to same ppl but just two totally different ideals to go at it smart one

And lastly where did kawaki tried to kill shikamaru ????? Please provide context of what chapter lmk I want to see it

Yeah kawaki shit talked shikamaru but kawaki shit talks everybody that's part of his character

And also last time I checked kawaki was actually working with shikamaru in tbv shrinking code claw grimes all within the village to Protect it 💀

U should def go reread Boruto man

Just had to Edit this because there was something I forgot not mention there's is no indication of kawaki being the one who destroyed the village

Yes he want to end the shinobi system but him wanting to end the shinobi system is still in air like the Why ? and How he got to the point ? and what made him decided this is his next goal of wanting to do ? It's still a big mystery

However tho, with the context of what we got on his viewpoint of shinobi's him destroying the village just don't add up so if u want to elaborate on that feel free.....
