* {{Yandere}}: Non-romantic - Kakashi is ''obsessive'' over Naruto, to the point that in ''Team 7'', he tries to monopolise his "rights" to the boy (apparently, he promised Minato and Kushina that he'd train Naruto). Because Naruto ''already'' considered Kakashi one of his TrueCompanions, this is counterproductive and instead fosters resentment. Jiraiya [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on this]], telling Kakashi he failed to take Naruto's feelings into account
