It could also be related to a prophecy or a pre - determined fate in the fanfic's plot. There might be some kind of dark prophecy that says Kawaki has to kill Naruto to prevent a greater evil. Or perhaps Kawaki is being controlled by an external force that has a vendetta against Naruto and uses Kawaki as a tool to carry out the murder.
Kawaki makes his appearance in Boruto manga at a specific point, but I can't recall exactly. You might want to check the official manga sources for the precise chapter.
In this kind of fanfiction, Naruto might teach Kawaki about the values of the Hidden Leaf Village. Maybe he'd show Kawaki how to control his powers better. For example, Naruto could take Kawaki on training sessions similar to the ones he had with Jiraiya.
The Legend of Uzumaki Hiroto was a derivative work of Naruto, which told the story of Uzumaki Hiroto's growth and the stories of other characters. Uzumaki Boto Legend was different from the original Naruto Naruto Shimbun Legend, so it was considered an independent manga.
Kawaki might resist Naruto's teachings at first. Since he has his own way of doing things, adapting to Naruto's values and training methods could be difficult. Also, the village might not fully accept Kawaki right away, and Naruto would have to fight for Kawaki to be accepted, which is a big challenge.
The Uzumaki manga is not overly long or short. It's just the right length to immerse you in its creepy world. The number of volumes and pages can change based on the format you come across.
