Kakashi Hatake is one of the most popular characters in the Boruto series. He is a jōnin who has served under the leadership of Jiraiya and has helped many people in his time. He is also known for his sense of humor and his ability to use stealth to take down enemies. Kakashi’s role in Boruto is not fully clear, but he seems to play a significant role. He first appears in the series as an ally of Naruto and helps him fight against the Akatsuki. After Naruto’s victory over them, Kakashi returns to help Jiraiya lead the village back into order. It is later revealed that Kakashi has been keeping a secret from Naruto all this time: he is actually a jōnin who was once part of Team 7, which was destroyed by Sasuke during their battle at Sarutobi’s tower. Kakashi’s return to help Jiraiya signals a change for him. He has always been an independent thinker and has never been afraid to speak his mind, but now he seems more willing to work with others. This may be why he is so important to Jiraiya, as he can provide valuable advice and insights that other members of Team 7 may not be able to provide.
So Where is Kakashi In Boruto ?
I think he’s been sometimes visiting hot springs but mostly going on secret missions. Remember that the kakashi in Boruto is still like 20 years younger than the Hiruzen the Part 1 of Naruto. I think the cover story is that he’s visiting hot springs.
I have evidence to support this ofc. The first is that in Boruto episode 106, Kakashi, Mirai and Guy go visiting a bunch of hot springs and at first Mirai thought it was an S-Rank mission, but then she found out it was just Kakashi and Guy goofing around because they wanted free time to relax. However to the end of the arc it was revealed that him and Gai’s mission was to investigate young people going missing.
Long story short the cover story for the mission was that Kakashi and Gai were visiting hot springs.
SPOILERS BORUTO BELOW:
In the Kakashi Retsuden novel he goes to Rikkidu country on an S-rank mission, and long story short when he returned to the village and Mitsuki asks where he has been since he’s hardly seen in the village, Kakashi responds by saying he’s been visiting hot springs.
Kakashi is still too young to have retired from Ninja duty, we also know that the village has some small knowledge on the Kara organization. So logically after team 7 defeated Kaguya and learned that there was a whole clan of beings as strong as her it only makes sense for Kakashi to keep in top shape to help out when ever or however he could
