Kakashi will take it off. Towards the end of the series every Akatsuki member will ambush Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi while on a mission made to lure them. Kakashi knows he must finish this fight. He uses most of his chakra. The Akatsuki lie unconsious then the leader comes. A fight erupts against the leader and Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto. Kakashi being weakened by the last makes a misstep. The leader then zooms past Kakashi and is about to drive a kunai into Naruto's (the demon was taken away) skull and with a flick of his wrist could kill Sakura after that Kakashi appears infront of Naruto taking the blow. Kakashi then says, "I got you now." Two Kakashi shadow clones come out of the trees and hold the leader down. Kakashi knowing that using his last bit of chakra will leave him empty and as a result of having no chakra dying. Kakashi uses rakiri on the leader destroying him. Then grief and sorrow (or sorrow and sadness or Hokage's funeral; what ever treats your tea) plays. Kakashi pushes the dead leader away revealing a deep wound. Sakura catches him as he falls. Kakashi then says, "my mask... I know it has been a question that you guys have had since meeting me. Take my mask off I'm going to die of this deep wound in me or of having no chakra left." Before Sakura could scream no Kakashi closed his eyes. Sakura put him on the ground and took off his mask. There was the best looking lips in the world. Sakura then kisses Kakashi on the lips gives his body to Naruto and they go back to Konoha to get this shinobi buried before any other villans come (sound nin patrol) and to treat their very bad wounds. At the end of the manga chapter it will have a dedication to some friend of Kishimoto's.
