In some fanfictions, Kakashi might be the one to help Naruto deal with the loneliness he feels because of being an orphan. He could take Naruto on little outings around the village, sharing stories about his own past and making Naruto feel like he has a real family with Kakashi as his daddy.
A popular Kakashi and baby Naruto fanfic is about Kakashi accidentally time - travels back to when Naruto was a baby. He uses his knowledge of the future to try and make Naruto's life better from the start. He trains Naruto in secret, helps him with his chakra control, and also makes sure Naruto has a stable emotional support system, which in turn has a huge impact on Naruto's growth.
One interesting fanfiction could be about Itachi being the unexpected father and how he copes with this new role while still being involved in the complex Naruto universe. Maybe it shows his interactions with the baby and how it changes his perspective on life and his ninja duties.
One popular story could be 'Kakashi's Unexpected Fatherhood' where Kakashi discovers he's a father in a very unexpected situation. Maybe a former lover left a baby on his doorstep.
One popular one might be 'Naruto's New Journey' in some fanfiction platforms. It often has unique plotlines involving their relationship in this rather creative scenario.
One popular one could be 'Kakashi's Unlikely Apprentice' where the female Naruto has unique adventures with Kakashi. It might explore their relationship in a new way, like how he mentors her in a more personal and in - depth manner.
A fanfiction named 'Kakashi's Bold Move' is quite interesting. It has a detailed build - up to the moment when Kakashi kisses Naruto. The story explores how the other characters might react to such an event and how it could change the dynamics within the group. Another good one is 'The Kiss that Changed Everything' which shows how this single act of kissing can have far - reaching consequences for both Kakashi and Naruto's relationship and their individual growth.
There is a fanfiction where Kakashi feels guilty for not being able to protect his comrades better. In this story, his guilt drives him to train Naruto more rigorously, but also makes him question his own worth as a mentor. It delves deep into his psyche and how he copes with his feelings.
One popular 'Naruto Knows Kakashi' fanfiction could be one where Naruto discovers some long - hidden secrets about Kakashi's past. Maybe it involves Kakashi's early days in ANBU and Naruto stumbles upon this information during a mission. He then uses this knowledge to better understand Kakashi's sometimes aloof behavior.
The appeal lies in the fact that it gives a chance to rewrite Naruto's early life in a way. In these fanfictions, Kakashi can be the positive influence that Naruto really needed at that young age. It also allows for exploring different character traits of Kakashi, like his paternal side which we don't see much in the original series.
The relationship can be developed through shared experiences. For instance, they could go on a mission together where Naruto is still young and inexperienced. Kakashi would protect Naruto and Naruto would learn from Kakashi's skills and strategies.
