In the fanfic, Naruto could pick up Kakashi's habit of being a bit of a mystery. He might not reveal all his thoughts and plans right away. Also, his sense of humor could change to be more dry and understated, similar to Kakashi's. He may start using more one - liner type of remarks during interactions. Naruto might also show more patience in teaching and guiding others, as Kakashi is often seen doing with his students.
Well, Naruto could mimic Kakashi's calm and collected demeanor during fights. Kakashi is known for not getting flustered easily. Naruto might start to hold back his usual exuberance and be more stealthy, like Kakashi sneaking up on enemies. He could also try to use a variety of jutsu in quick succession, similar to how Kakashi combines different techniques smoothly in battle.
Well, Kakashi might introduce Naruto to more strategic ways of fighting. For example, he could teach Naruto how to better analyze his opponents before attacking. Naruto, who was previously more impulsive, may start to hold back and look for the right moment to strike, like Kakashi does with his Sharingan.
Maybe Naruto admires Kakashi's skills. Kakashi is a highly respected ninja, and Naruto might want to be as good as him. So he starts acting like him to learn from him.
Another plot point might be Naruto's change in relationships. Since he's acting more like Kakashi, his interactions with Sakura and Sasuke could change. He might be more distant in a Kakashi - like way, which could create tension and new story arcs. Also, the way he deals with the younger generation of ninjas could be different. He could be more like a strict but fair mentor, like Kakashi, and this could lead to some interesting training and growth stories for the new ninjas.
Well, one similarity could be their determination. In the fanfic, like in the original series, both Naruto and Kakashi are very determined. Naruto is always striving to become Hokage and Kakashi has his own goals and missions he's dedicated to. They also might share similar combat styles in the fanfic, perhaps Naruto starts to adopt some of Kakashi's strategic thinking during battles.
It could become strained. Naruto snapping at Kakashi would create an initial rift between them. Kakashi might be taken aback by Naruto's outburst and Naruto, after snapping, might feel a bit guilty but also stubborn about his feelings, which would make the relationship tense for a while.
Well, it could strain their relationship. Avoidance usually creates distance, and in this case, Kakashi might feel hurt or confused as to why Naruto is avoiding him.
Since Naruto has more knowledge of the future, Kakashi might start to rely on him more, which could shift their relationship. Naruto could also see a different side of Kakashi from the past, and this new understanding could deepen their connection. For example, they might have to face some challenges together that make them trust each other more than before.
Kakashi's training style, which is often strict and methodical, would likely make Naruto more disciplined. Naruto is usually a bit of a wild card, but under Kakashi's tutelage, he would have to follow a set routine and be more precise in his actions.
One possible fanfic could be about Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake, having some kind of post -mortem influence on Naruto. Maybe Naruto discovers an old jutsu that was once used by Sakumo and tries to master it. This could lead to a series of adventures where Naruto learns more about the history of the Hidden Leaf through Sakumo's legacy.
