In the fanfiction 'Kakashi finds Naruto crying', how does Kakashi react?

Well, Kakashi is a complex character. When he discovers Naruto is abused in the fanfiction, he may first feel a deep sense of guilt for not noticing earlier. He'd then use his skills and influence in the village. He could start by reporting it to the proper authorities in Konoha, like the Hokage. And at the same time, he'd be there for Naruto, providing emotional support, talking to him, and helping him through the trauma. Kakashi has his own past traumas, so he'd understand what Naruto is going through on some level.

Kakashi would likely be very concerned. He would immediately assess Naruto's injuries. If they were serious, he would use his medical skills to start treating him right away. His first reaction would be to make sure Naruto was stable and out of immediate danger.

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.

He'd probably be a mix of angry and sad. Angry at whoever or whatever caused Naruto to be in this state, and sad because he cares about Naruto so much. He might clench his fists tightly, trying to control his emotions while he focuses on helping Naruto. He'd also feel a sense of guilt, wondering if he could have prevented this from happening.

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.

He probably gets very worried. Kakashi is Naruto's teacher and mentor, so he'd likely be immediately concerned and rush to Naruto's side to assess the situation.

Kakashi might be initially shocked. After all, Naruto has always been his student and the sudden refusal to use the term'sensei' would be unexpected.

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.

One possible reason could be that Naruto is feeling lonely. Despite having friends, there are times when his past as an orphan and the years of being shunned by the villagers resurfaces, making him feel isolated. Kakashi finding him in such a state might then lead to a heart - to - heart conversation about Naruto's inner struggles.

Naruto would be devastated. He sees Kakashi as a mentor and father figure. He might initially go into denial, not believing that Kakashi would actually abandon him.
