Their relationship could develop very quickly. Kakashi might see Naruto as a prodigy waiting to be shaped. He would start mentoring Naruto intensively, and Naruto would look up to Kakashi like a father figure. They'd probably go on missions together more often, and Naruto would learn a great deal from Kakashi's battle strategies.
The relationship might develop in a more complex way. Kakashi could initially be distant, just observing Naruto. But as he witnesses Naruto's determination and growth, he gets more involved. They could start sharing secrets, like Kakashi revealing some of his Sharingan's secrets to Naruto. This would create a deep bond between them, and they would support each other not only in the ninja world but also in their personal struggles.
In such a fanfiction, their relationship could develop in various ways. Naruto might start leaving little gifts for Kakashi anonymously. This would pique Kakashi's curiosity. Eventually, when he discovers it's her, he could be touched. Then they might start spending more time together during training or on missions, and their bond would grow deeper from there.
In this fanfiction, Naruto's character development is multi - faceted. Physically, he becomes stronger and faster through the rigorous training. Mentally, he learns patience. Kakashi's training methods might include waiting for the right moment to strike or endure long periods of stealth. This teaches Naruto to be more patient in combat and in life. Emotionally, he matures. He may face setbacks during the training and learn to deal with failure in a more constructive way. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, he uses it as a motivation to improve. All these aspects combined shape Naruto into a more well - rounded and capable ninja.
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.
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.
Their relationship deepens as Kakashi shows his concern. Naruto starts to see Kakashi as more than just a teacher or mentor. He realizes that Kakashi truly cares about him on a personal level. For example, when Kakashi stays up all night to make sure Naruto's fever goes down, Naruto feels a new level of closeness.
Their relationship could deepen quickly. Naruto getting hurt for Hinata makes her realize just how much he cares for her. She might become more open and affectionate towards him, and Naruto, seeing her concern for him while he's injured, might also start to see her in a new light, as more than just a friend.
It might also make Kakashi more protective of Naruto in the future. He realizes how important Naruto is not just to the village but also to him personally. So, he may be more involved in Naruto's training and growth.
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.
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.
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.
