The Children of the Forest that we saw were definitely now in opposition to the WW too. However, I still think there's more to the NK's motivations. I'm also curious to find out what caused the rift between the NK and the Children of the Forest.
I'm curious why you think the night king and the children of the forest were ever friends in the first place. I'm not aware of any evidence in the box or the TV shows to suggest that was the case. The previous episode where we saw the creation of the white walkers by the children of the forest seem to indicate that they immediately regretted their mistake because the white walkers were immediately evil.
