Little is known about one of Naruto's closest companions.

Fans will remember Teuchi as the ramen man who always served Naruto his favorite food whenever he visited. Little is known about Teuchi, despite being one of Naruto's closest companions and virtually the only one who did not scold him as a child due to his possession of Kurama.

What is clear is that he decided to become a chef long before Naruto was born. But why he was so determined to become a ramen chef in particular is anyone's guess. What's even more bizarre is that at a time when the entire village was adamant about hating Naruto, the only one who accepted him was Teuchi, implying that he may have never known about the Nine Tails. Either way, while a few bits of information have been dropped here and there, much of Teuchi's life and his worldview is still a mystery that fans have pondered for years.

6 A (First Raikage)

The first Raikage does not receive as much screen time as the other Kages.

• First appearance: Shippuden Episode 369

When fans briefly meet A, he is discussing an issue that could see him handing over land to the other Keiji and Yotsuki clans, with Hashirama bowing his head “”Eternal Leader.”

While he was clearly a stern diplomat who could easily stand up to other Kage, this is the only glimpse fans have of this intriguing individual whose journey to becoming the first Kage remains unexplained.

This simple decoration suggests that Kushimaru was once a member of the Anbu, but decided to continue wearing the mask even after becoming a swordsman. Perhaps it was a way to mock his former group. However, Kishimoto doesn't go too far into Kushimaru's backstory, making him one of the most mysterious of the Seven Hidden Mist Swordsmen.

It's a question that can never be answered, but it certainly adds a lot of interest to Kisame's character and his origins.

3 hidan

Hidan's religion, which serves the Shinigami, was shrouded in mystery throughout Shippuden.
