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.
As of now, Naruto and Sasuke haven't died in the Boruto manga. Their characters continue to play significant roles and contribute to the story's development.
It depends on the context. If it's a battle of pure physical strength and chakra, Naruto might have the edge as he has years of experience and has faced more powerful foes. But Boruto has some unique abilities like his Jougan. So if the fight involves using new - age ninja techniques, Boruto could surprise Naruto.
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.
I like Naruto in these fanfics because he always stays true to his beliefs. He is constantly trying to bring Sasuke back to the village and is willing to fight for their friendship.
One of the best moments is when they have a rematch that showcases their growth. Naruto has become stronger with his new jutsu, and Sasuke has further mastered his Sharingan powers. The intense battle of ideologies during the fight is captivating.
