One of Kakashi's closest allies was Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage. Naruto had always been curious about what lay behind Kakashi's mask. He respected his mentor's privacy but couldn't help but wonder.One evening, after a mission, Naruto confronted Kakashi about the mask. With a heavy sigh, Kakashi removed it, revealing his face to Naruto. Behind the mask was a man with rugged features, a scar running down one eye, and a sense of weariness that spoke of a lifetime of battles.
