In 'kakashi is protective of naruto fanfiction', can you give some examples of how Kakashi shows his protection towards Naruto?

One reason could be that he sees Naruto as a younger version of himself in some ways. Both have had their share of loneliness and challenges growing up. Kakashi may want to prevent Naruto from going through the same pain he did. Another reason is Naruto's importance to the village. As the jinchuriki of the Nine - Tails, Naruto is a key asset. Kakashi, being a loyal ninja, wants to protect the village's future which is tied to Naruto.

One way could be through mental support. In certain fanfictions, the Kyuubi might communicate with Naruto in his mind during tough situations. It could give him advice or just boost his confidence, like saying 'Don't worry, brat. I won't let anything bad happen to you.' This is a form of protection as it helps Naruto face difficulties more bravely.

In this fanfiction, Kakashi could help Naruto in his training through mental conditioning as well. Naruto is often impulsive, so Kakashi may work on his patience and decision - making skills. He could use his Sharingan (if applicable in the fanfiction) to analyze Naruto's movements during training and give him detailed feedback. Moreover, Kakashi could introduce Naruto to different types of enemies and battle scenarios in a controlled training environment, which would broaden Naruto's understanding of combat and make him a more versatile ninja.

In some fanfictions, Rookie protects Naruto by training with him intensively. He does this not only to make Naruto stronger but also to be there to prevent any accidents during the training. For example, if Naruto tries a new and dangerous jutsu, Rookie is ready to step in and correct him or stop the jutsu if it goes wrong. Also, in social situations, if someone tries to bully Naruto or say mean things to him, Rookie stands up for Naruto immediately, showing his protective side.

One example could be a fanfiction where Naruto is wrongly accused of something in the village, and Kakashi steps in to defend him using his wisdom and influence. Another might be a situation where Naruto is facing an external threat and Kakashi defends him on the battlefield, which is then detailed in the fanfiction.

Fanfiction sometimes depicts Kakashi's favoritism through his emotional investment in Sasuke. He may show more concern for Sasuke's mental state, especially regarding Sasuke's pursuit of revenge. Kakashi might have deeper conversations with Sasuke about his path, while with others in the team he may not go into such personal and in - depth discussions as much.

Sorry, I haven't read that exact fanfiction so I can't give a proper summary. But it might be about Kakashi's encounter with a sleeping Naruto and the thoughts or actions that follow from that.

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.

Kakashi might be initially surprised. But then, he would probably use it as a teaching moment for Naruto. He could say something like 'Naruto, stealing is not the way of a ninja.' And then give him a punishment like extra training.

It could also be due to a misunderstanding. Kakashi might be keeping some secrets from Naruto, like information about his parents or some hidden power within him. Naruto, being curious and eager for answers, could misinterpret Kakashi's motives for secrecy as a sign of distrust or dislike, which then turns into hatred.
