Kakashi : I will wear this mask to hide my identity and noone would recognise me Every Naruto Villain : Ah....the great copy Ninja Kakashi of the sharingan before we battle I must say it is a honour to meet you sir

This man can get me to believe anything. He’s too powerful

Kakashi was just ahead of the game. He knew about corona before everyone else

I love how he wears the mask for obscurity but everyone in the series is like "AH KAKASHI THE COPY CAT NINJA, AS I LIVE AND BREATHE!!"

That actually still makes sense even if we consider Kakashi's anime appearance as canon. If we go with the fact that shark teeth are not genetic but get filed down, then Kakashi's mom doing that when he was around 2 years old would mean those were still his baby teeth. So in theory, when he was very young in Konoha he wore a mask to hide them, then his adult teeth grew in regular, but he just kept the mask cause he had already started wearing it.

I think the REAL reason was something like he looked to much like his father and then ppl would hate him

*Zabuza* will forever be my favorite. RIP to the Demon of the Mist

Actual reason: Kishimoto wanted Kakashi to dress-up like actual ninja. Theory: Mother was a member of the Inazuka clan or a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. I like both. Adding lore reasons to the actual reason, making both better.

Interesting, and to add to that this could explain why Kakashi was able to breath and talk while trapped in the water prison jutsu in OG naruto 1x8, while team guy in shippuden 1x13 couldn't breath and were drowning while in the same water prison jutsu

I think we have to understand that baby teeth are a thing and they are lost, but that doesn't mean Kakashi won't chisel his own adult teeth. My idea is that he is half Inuzuka, and he wears the mask to hid sharp canine teeth AND to deaden his sense of smell. He isn't full Inuzuka, so he might have difficulty processing a heightened sense of smell, like a non-Uchiha having a lot more difficulty with the sharingan due to genetics. Just my idea, but I like yours, too.

My personal head canon for Kakashi is that he is the great grand son of Tobirama given the senjus whole "spread the bloodline within konoha" idea, the hair, the fact that there is no lineage of the hatake clan before Sakumo, the fact that Kakashi is the only leaf ninja that I can see that can easily use all 7 chakra releases (even earth that is opposite of his natural lightning release), the fact that kakashi has such a natural aptitude for learning new jutsus (being able to see them with sharingan is 1 thing, but instantly being able to replicate and remember it is another) alot of which were probably made by tobirama based on his amount of created jutsus, and the fact that the timeline works out with Tobirama being within a decade in age with Hashirama, then Sakumo being close in age with Tsunadae, and kakashi and tsunadaes age difference as well.

Also, Suigetzu ( sorry if I spelled his name wrong ) had to buff up his arm to be able to wield the executioner blade, & even then, he wasn’t as fluent with it as Kakashi on his first try.

Kakashi growing up in the “mist” would also explain why he wasn’t a good friend and that was before his pops died. (His pops told him to ask Guy name)

This channel is hands down what I watch most when I'm on KZfaq

Hey Nick, the Kakashi face reveal is actually canon and revealed in "Sha-No-Sho, Kakashi's face revealed" by Kakashi's ninja dog AND in Naruto Gaiden (Chapter 700.2) which were both written and illustrated by Kishimoto himself.

Kakashi's face reveal is canon to the Naruto manga and anime. It was drawn by Kishimoto himself in a special manga chapter of Naruto.

This is tough. It’s awesome to think that Kakashi was originally from another village and that his mom was a member of the 7 ninja swordsmen of the most but I also love the Inuzuka theory. Both of them make a good deal of sense (although the Inuzuka one is probably more likely).

Reaching before the "first" comment feels weird.

I really like the theory that his dad married a women from Kiba’s clan. Explains all the dog imagery with Kakashi’s justu.

I love how this theory gives more richness to Kakashi's origins and makes his getting the Executioner's Blade so much more meaningful.

the thing i loved most about kakashi is up until he got susano all his fights stayed true to the early naruto fights. in shippuden most naruto fights became who could summon the biggest monster or who could shoot the best lazer beams but Kakashi's fights always had a good mix of tai jutsu, ninjutsu, and strategy. i still consider his fight with obito in the kamui dimension the last true ninja fight in the series as well as the epitome of early naruto style fights. sadly by the end of nartuo every fight just became some crazy kaju battle but even in the midst of all that Kakashi's fights managed to stay grounded until he got susano. not saying the kaju battles were bad but i prefer the fights in oj naruto over the fights in shippuden.

I love Kakashi for how strong he is in the since as he went through so much but never turned evil…also he ain’t no bitch, he fights anymore no matter how much stronger his opponent may be.

Another loose theory that’s been on my mind: Kakashi’s mother is an Inuzuka, and teeth he’s hiding are actually dog like canines like that of kiba. This could explain the dog summoning usage he has, and his very specifically keen sense of smell. I feel like no one really talks about that possibility, but I want to know your thoughts!

Kakashi's dad also had white hair. Also, Kakashi's shark teeth were his baby teeth. He wouldn't need the mask once his adult teeth came in. Cool theory though. It was fun to watch.

My theory. Kakashi's mother was an inuzuka clan member. But she had a different behavior, unlike the other inuzuka clan members She was so kind and humble konoichi. She didn't like the red fang symbol on her face that usually we saw in every inuzuka member because she felt it like ruthless. Then she decided to wear a mask to cover that red fang mark. then she married Sakumo and give birth to Kakashi. During the ninja war, she was killed by Sasori's parents and that's the reason Sakumo killed both Sasori's parents. After the war, Sakumo put off the mask from her and kept that with him for her memories. The time passed. Kakashi is about 5 years old. Sakumo gave that mask to Kakashi and told him "it belongs to your mother and there is nothing else I have to remember her than you and this mask, I would like to see you wear this mask and that's the pretty way to remember her ". Kakashi agreed that and he decided to wear that mask for the rest of his life in order to the memories of his mother.

My own theory on this is just making a name for himself. Sakumo was well known as a great ninja even before kakashi was born. He was even said to be stronger than the sanin. Seeing as sakumo teaches kakashi at an early age to respect people and to never underestimate anyone. You see this with the interaction between guy and kakashi in the flashback. It makes more sense that kakashi didn’t want the recognition of being sakumos son but rather make a name for himself. He wore the mask because he looked so much like his father and wanted to step away from his fathers title and shadow. Another similar idea is that due to his (blemish/ birth mark) he covered his face to pass as his father. His mother could have had a similar marking and due to him not knowing his mother he wanted to cover it and be more like his father. Either of these makes more sense. Kakashi is seen to be very dependent at a young age and trying to advance very quickly. He also hides away and is even shown to have a troubled relationship with his father after his fathers suicide which is linked to his father abandoning a mission for his comrades. You see kakashi struggle with his team and those ideas. Remembering that he was still a kid and was still Learning and having to figure out his own path and to learn that you can’t always trust what those around him say. Thinking of how naruto grew up and all the things he heard and the looks he got. Kakashi would have had a similar experience. The people of the village would probably say awful things about his father and even start similar of him just due to him being the son.

This man is so interesting to listen to. Should start doing voice over for e books especially for the light novels if that’s even a thing.

Can we also discuss that one of the things the Seven Swordsmen are seen to universally admire is talent with swords, and unique ways of using them? Because I feel like a Swordsman of the Mist that was fighting Konoha's White Fang would be introduced to maybe the only legendary swordsman of Konoha that they had ever met. Sword-crossed lovers of a sort. We wouldn't know what sword she had, or how she used it, but just like Kisame, she could have bonded with her opponent and come to value their rivalry after admiring the White Fang's sword skills. We have to imagine that life gets pretty dull when the only swords that can stand up to yours are the six guys that live in the same barrack as you. Meeting someone who can present a challenge, especially with a unique sword talent, would be an incredibly rare treat, more likely to create an impression than other fights.

Oh yeah, that DEFINITELY makes sense (irony) Because 3 year old Kakashi still has the same little baby teeth that his mother carved. What I’m saying is, he might have shark teeth but might be because his mother (might be) from the blood mist village (genetics).

Love this head cannon. I like how detailed each clan, village, nation is in this anime.

2:11 "it's technically a continuation of his shirt" 😂😂 Like a foreskin baclava

This one really took me away, I always wondered what season1's episode was about when team7 was trying so hard to see his face. I got hooked on that exactly 10yr ago lol

This is great fanfiction! If they ever wanted to adapt this idea into a filler episode of Boruto or into a novel, I’d watch/read it

It also helps explain why Kakashi was so skilled at a young age as he could've started to become a ninja at just a few years old in the Blood Mist Village. His mother being a swordswoman would likely add to his own swordsmanship with his father's blade.

Love the video keep up the great work nick

Great theory, one problem though. We have two sets of teeth, an initial child set that we have for several years as they slowly get replaced one by one by our then permanent adult set of teeth. With your theory, Kakashi would have had his child teeth filed into shark teeth, but once they’re all replaced by adult teeth, there’s no real risk to anyone seeing his face.

Love the theory but I can disprove this. Kakashi’s mom was actually from the Inuzuka clan (Kiba’s clan) which is why he is able to use the ninja hounds and has a keen sense of smell as is shown in a some episodes. Also his father was called the White Fang hence a “dog fang”

What if kakashi's father actually died to protect his son's secret link to another village from someone within the leaf who he didn't trust like Danzo?

Dude this was a super dope video. Frfr I watch almost every video and every single one is just to the top detailed and unique from any other creator. Much love and thank you for changing how I view certain characters or Naruto theories

Will you do a colab or debate with Swagkage? You have some fascinating takes!

I love the theory! Only plot hole is kakashi watched zabuza wield the executioner blade. While it takes strength, if you can see the method of swinging a blade that size and using its weight to your advantage, I can see why he would be able to master it swiftly. I really love all your material holmes and and am really considering contributing on a patronage platform.

Problem: you mentioned that his mother chizzled his teeth then passed him into his fathers care at the age of 3. But baby teeth grow out: you may have your adult teeth set in by the age of 7 or so meaning this could not be the reason why kakoshi wears a mask

Great Video as always!

So in fact it works very well that Sakumo might be related to the Inuzuka while his wife was a swordsman of the Hidden Mist and Kakashi basically preserves their legacy in various ways

Two things, 1. If kakashis teeth were filed to tips at 2 yo, by the time his adult teeth came in they wouldn’t be pointy. 2. With the sharingan can’t kakashi retain muscle memory by watching zabuza? Cause didn’t sasuke do that with rock lees technique?

This theory kinda falls apart when you realize that Kakashi will just lose his baby teeth and have normal adult teeth since the teeth got filed down instead of being genetics

Interesting, I can get behind it! Great video as always 🤙🏽

This was supremely interesting, engaging, and thoughtful. Well fkn done sir. Well done

Every time I check KZfaq and see this man make another masterpiece brings a smile to my face

Bruh always push a video just when ya need it

This man is awesome! It's like he's filling in what we want

I’m still disappointed that at the end of the war arc since the hidden mist 7 great swords were brought into play and also many were wielded by individuals of other nations it would have been really awesome and also a meaningful symbolic sign of good faith of the mist to give the swords to other nations to create the 7 great ninja swordsmen of the allied nations. This would’ve allowed kakashi as well as b to keep the respective swords they wielded but could’ve given a cool boost of power to other ninja from other villages. Imagine a fight where they all show up and it’s kakashi:executioners blade B:samehada darowi:kiba konkuro:nuibari (needle) chojuro:hiramekarei akatsuchi:shibuki (explosive blade) mifune:kabutowari (helmet splitter). I especially love the idea of konkuro having the needle cause that fits so well with his puppets. having kakashi keep the executioners blade would’ve melded so well with his connection to zabuza. I also don’t think b could’ve given up samehada even if he tried because of his chakra, it would’ve made a lot of sense if b ever passed on the 8 tails that the blade stays with the beast. Mifune would actually make sense with the helmet splitter because samurai were know for carrying a knife called the helmet breaker. Darowi and kiba, I mean come on lightning. Akatsuchi already uses explosive rock techniques I believe also he’s big so the explosive sword would fit. It’s like these blades were built to be given to ninja of different nations

Don’t baby teeth fall out around age 6, so if sakumo took possession of kakashi at age 3 he wouldn’t have sharp teeth for very long

My theory to how Kakashi was able to use the Executioners Blade so easily is that he has extensively seen Zabuza use it with his Sharingan and was able to copy his fighting style with it. He is the Copy Ninja after all.

I am honestly so thankful I found your tick tock and obviously now you're KZfaq because I enjoy these videos so freaking much man. Because as a husband and a father with a full-time job it's hard to find time to watch anime or Read Manga or light novels. So I just like to say thank you for what you do.

In one of his original sketches, Kakashi was drawn with Samurai armor. That idea got scraped, but was kept & the design was used for Mifune, the Samurai that fought Hanzo. So, if this theory is true, hopefully we can actually see Kakashi in that armor wielding swords.

Squirmishes....

man, well researched, it does indeed feel solid!!

I love "What ifs" (theories) about popular anime... and this one is SOOOO WELL DONE!

this is a great theory and alot makes sense. that being said when it comes to the executioner blade and the ability to wield it would kakashi have been able to "copy" zabuzas fighting style with his sharingan?

I think his mother being a half Uchiha Missing-Nin/ Half Uchiha Anbu would fit more. & could easily explain kakashi's power ups thru the series.

I like the idea of kakashi and zabuza being half brothers who share the same mother. What if this said kunoichi swordsman had an unwanted kid with someone else from the hidden mist prior to giving birth to kakashi. And what if zabuza's father died in the war and since the mother was actively taking part in this war being a member of one of the most prominent factions in it, she would have no choice but to give zabuza up for adoption.

Broooo just when I was about to fall asleep.....fine I'll watch this first 🤣🔥

Only characters that are cooler than Kakashi are Minato and Itachi

I don’t think this theory holds water because we’ve seen Kakashi without a mask once when when disguised himself as Orochmaru and he very much did not have shark teeth and I’m pretty sure anyone with enough chakra and skill in kenjutsu could wield the Kubikiribocho (Executioner’s Blade) efficiently hell Killer Bee is the prefect example of this. The man has an enormous amount of chakra bein a Jinchuriki and is arguably the greatest swordsman in all of Naruto and he wielded the blade better than any Swordsman of the mist ever did so I think the reason why the Seven great Swordsman of the Mist were know as such was because they were the best kenjutsu users in the Hidden Mist not in the world

I've been watching since he started and I love how he's getting better!

VOD channel was a really smart idea. Keeps the channels organized. Appreciate it

His physical features do point to some sort of mist heritage. Though is natural skillset and affinities points to a genetic land of fire origin which I feel enforces his possible relation to the Inuzukas. Sharingan gained attributes flesh out the rest of his battle character especially kenjutsu, mimicking mist origins flawlessly in that regard. His insane combat knowledge and being a perfectionist of the basics makes me certain he could wield most any weapon effectively. As for the mask, maybe he wanted to distinguish that he was not his father as far as personality and convictions? I feel the simplest answer on that is the right one, Kishimoto wanted that look and what mysterious character would be complete without some sort of obvious constant mystery attached.

I don't think anyone beats DMS Kakashi

Dont baby teeth fall out 😂 love the Chanel!

This actually makes sense. Bravo on a great video idea!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

thank you for the VOD channel I could only see the last 7 days on twitch and I like to catch up on streams I missed

Awsome video nc hammer.

“Spicy mustache German” killed me 😂😂😂

I've been waiting for this

I swear to actual fricking god dude. Your videos are top of top tier in my opinion. you make everything so believable and every video I watch I just wanna get back into watching naruto your too good at your job

Nick, I’ve recently found you and have been binging many of your Naruto vids. Your constant theories really make more sense than most of shippuden, and I love the lore I’ve learned from you. Keep it up 🤙🏻

This is too hard to pass on. You making my head hurt. This makes sense, damn.

Bedtime stories😆 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Good one

The very comrades Sakumo chose to save rather than complete the mission disowned him because he saved their lives!!! I would definitely un alive myself after that. That cuts deep asf

I will personally hire you as my lawyer if need be. Your ability to make a case is RIDICULOUS 😂😂

This is such a carefully constructed and well researched video. Like and subscription from me. Keep up the good work!

I'm not even gunna lie I always like your videos be for I even watch them I already know the video bouta be fire

Watching this with a good meal is the perfect way to spend the afternoon

I think Sakumo's failed mission lead to the Third Shinobi War. Also I believe Kakashi's ability to wield the Executioner's Blade comes from the fact that he saw Zabuza using it with his Sharingan. He is the Copy ninja after all. Witnessing another's technique and mimicking it to perfection is kind of his M.O.

Great Video!

"and one thing.....he's hot" hahaha Kakashi has to be one of my favorite anime characters

There are episodes where Kakashi takes off his mask, both in a disguised form and as his regular self ... and nothing is different about his teeth. If you notice, his headband is pulled down to cover part of the scar that took his eye, and his mask is often pulled up on that same side of his face to cover the same scar. That's basically it - he didn't want people staring at his scar. As for mother mysteries, there are many, including why don't they show the mother of Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Ino, and many others? These would be significant characters in real life.

Absolutely crazy. Love this theory. Excellent work as usual 🙏🏻

Spicy mustache German caught me so off guard lol

This was a good one... really solid 👌 good show.

Bro could say kakashi was just wearing contacts and has good memory and could convince me of it.

Going along with this theory, what if Kakashi's father was killed by hidden mist anbu and they made it look like a suicide? And his father keeps that a secret when they talk so Kakashi doesn't go out looking for revenge. Could be a possibility 🤔

Amusing as it is to imagine Kakashi with shark teeth, the main issue is the we know he was in Konoha from at least 5 years old onwards (since he graduated from the Academy at 5). The natural age that baby teeth fall out and are replaced by adult teeth is around 6 years old and for a couple years after. So prior to arriving at Konoha, he would have baby teeth (theorized to have been shaved into shark teeth here). But then fairly shortly after being in Konoha, his teeth would be replaced with normal ones. So even if he had to cover his teeth earlier in life, there is no reason to keep doing this.

i have enjoyed your video, your points seem valid and good job my friend it was an amazing video

He’s really good. Love watching these videos

personally i think the reason why kakashi wear's a mask is because his father was resented by konoha so he didn't want people to know that he was his son

Very Solid. Library Updated, Thank You.

Ive just recently started actually watching your videos (mostly have seen shorts before) and i absolutely love this theory. This is one reason why kakashi needs his own spin off. Id love to know more about his childhood before his dad died

love love love kakashi he’s tactile like itatchi not in the same way but definitely not lacking in smarts and yesss he is hot
