And his family, like Boruto and Himawari, if it's set in a later time, would get to know the real Naruto behind the heroic facade.
The whole village of Konoha could be affected. Naruto has always been a symbol of hope and strength for them.

Also, the younger generation of ninjas might look at Naruto differently and learn that it's okay to be vulnerable.
His enemies, too. They might realize that Naruto is not as straightforward as they thought. If he shows a more cunning side by dropping the mask, they would have to adjust their battle strategies. For example, Orochimaru might find Naruto a more formidable opponent than he initially believed.
