Is Kakashi really Naruto's dad in fanfiction?

One reason could be to create a new and unexpected dynamic. It shakes up the familiar relationships from the original Naruto story. Another reason might be to explore how Kakashi's character would develop in a fatherly role, which is very different from his role as a mentor in the original.

Yes, in some fanfictions, Naruto can be like Kakashi. Writers might give Naruto some of Kakashi's traits, like his calmness in battle or his love for reading. This can make for an interesting twist in the story.

It would change a lot. Firstly, the whole dynamic between Naruto and Kakashi would be completely different. Instead of a mentor - student bond, it would be a father - son one. Naruto's influence on Kakashi's upbringing would have to be reimagined. Also, the backstories related to Kakashi's family, like his relationship with his father Sakumo, would need to be adjusted to fit this new family tree. It would be a huge rewrite of the character relationships.

In many Naruto fanfics, there are all kinds of creative interpretations. Some might make Jiraiya Naruto's dad in their fictional stories. However, in the original Naruto series, Naruto's father is Minato Namikaze. But fanfics give authors the freedom to rewrite relationships in unique ways.

I'm not sure if there is such a specific fanfiction. The Naruto series has a set official family structure where Naruto has his own parents, and Kakashi has his own backstory. However, in the world of fanfiction, all kinds of wild ideas can exist, but I haven't personally come across one where Naruto is Kakashi's dad.

In some yaoi fanfiction, Naruto can be depicted as a prodigy like Kakashi. Writers often play with the characters' traits and exaggerate them for the sake of the story. Naruto already has his own natural talent in the original series, and in fanfiction, this can be amplified to be on a par with Kakashi's prodigious abilities.

There could be. In fanfiction, writers have the freedom to develop all kinds of ideas. If Sakura's dad is a Kakashi fan, it could lead to some really fun and unexpected plotlines. For instance, he might try to get Sakura to learn from Kakashi or might be constantly praising Kakashi's deeds. It could also add a new dimension to Sakura's relationship with Kakashi, as her dad's admiration could influence her perception of him.

Yes, in many fanfics Naruto is depicted as stronger than Kakashi. Fanfic authors often like to explore the growth potential of Naruto to an extreme level, surpassing his former teacher.

Maybe in the fanfiction, Naruto gets injured really badly during a mission. While he is recovering, Kakashi stays by his side constantly, and Naruto realizes the deep care Kakashi has for him, which makes him start to call Kakashi dad. Then, Kakashi helps Naruto train in new ways to get stronger, sharing some of his own hidden techniques and experiences that he hasn't told others before.

Sasuke might be initially shocked. He's always been in a sort of competitive relationship with Naruto. But then he might see it as a sign of Naruto's growth and need for family. Sakura would probably be really happy for Naruto. She knows how much Naruto has yearned for a family, and she would see Kakashi as a great father figure for Naruto. As for the older generation like Tsunade, she might be a bit hesitant at first, but then she would support it, seeing that it gives Naruto more stability.
