Their relationship is like a mentor - mentee bond. Kakashi has trained Naruto, and when he sees Naruto achieve great things, it can be overwhelming. For example, when Naruto masters a new jutsu that Kakashi thought was difficult for him, Kakashi might cry out of joy for Naruto's accomplishment.
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.
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.
Kakashi might immediately offer a comforting presence. He could put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and just be there silently, letting Naruto know he's not alone.
At first, it might be a bit rocky. Kakashi is used to his own ways, and fem Naruto may be a bit headstrong. But as time goes on, they start to understand each other. Kakashi sees her potential and determination, and fem Naruto starts to respect Kakashi's wisdom.
Communication is key. If they sit down and talk about their misunderstandings and feelings, it could start to mend their relationship. Naruto could express his frustrations, and Kakashi could explain his actions.
Their relationship would likely become very close. Naruto would probably start to see Kakashi as a father figure. Kakashi, in turn, would become more protective of Naruto.
It would be very close. Kakashi would be like a father or an older brother to them. Naruto and Sasuke would respect and rely on him. They would probably have a more harmonious relationship with each other too, because Kakashi would be there to mediate any conflicts.
Kakashi would probably be very calm at first. He's an experienced ninja who has seen a lot. He'd gently pat Naruto on the back, offering silent comfort. Then he might start to speak softly, asking Naruto what's wrong in a gentle voice.
At first, Naruto might be a bit confused about this new arrangement. But Kakashi would use his easy - going nature to break the ice. He'd take Naruto for walks and talk about ninjutsu casually. Kurenai would be the one to make sure Naruto is well - fed and taken care of. As Naruto grows, he'd start to participate in their conversations more. He'd ask Kakashi for advice on tough missions and Kurenai for advice on how to deal with his friends. Their relationship would be a mix of mentorship, friendship and family, evolving as Naruto becomes more mature and skilled as a ninja.
Kakashi would probably first check if Naruto is hungry or needs a diaper change. If that's not the case, he might hold Naruto close and gently rock him while humming a soft tune.
