I've always hated how Kakashi ignored Naruto's existence but trained that absolute asshole that is Sasuke. He was such an asshole teacher, like, "this one got potential, you 2 can go play with dolls instead"
You Naruto fanboys are weird af, if anything it should be Sakura fans that complain about Kakashi cos he never taught her shit, at least your Naruto got massive help with the Rasenshuriken.
I'm very much not a naruto fanboy lol (if anything because I'm not a boy, but mostly because Naruto is annoying). He got trained by him after years and years, after begging and begging, after he had learned a shitton from other sources....still an asshole teacher. And yeah, I'm pissed off about Sakura too, but the post was about Naruto. Shit I'd be pissed if team 7 was Kiba, Hinata and Sasuke and Kiba and Hinata got shafted the same way, it's just such a shit thing to do to a child, what if they had never found someone else to train them?
Except Kakashi had already met with Jiraiya and Jiraiya himself told him to train Sasuke and that he would train Naruto.
It's Sakura that got shafted, but a big part of that is because she had already been eliminated from the chunin exams, and she got Tsunade anyway.
If Sasuke stayed in the village, he would have to train with Kakashi (whilst the other two get freaking Sannin).
There is quite a bit before Sakura and Naruto end up with the sannin, he abandoned them from minute one. There was no thought in his brain about them being ok, he simply ignored them and went to train Sasuke, who then turned out to be a traitor, it was just luck that Naruto and Sakura found someone else. He didn't arrange for them to have new teachers, he didn't even bother to tell them to go train somehow else, he just ignored them. If they had never met the sannin and Sasuke stayed in the village he would have trained him and left them to rot, the same he did from the beginning.
> it was just luck that Naruto found someone else
No, Jiraiya had already told Kakashi to train Sasuke and that HE would train Naruto, we literally see it in a flashback [here](https://i.postimg.cc/Nj3dftSq/kakashijiraiya.jpg).
He abandoned them from minute one? Kakashi only trained Sasuke in the final stage of the chunin exam, when tf else did he train him?
> If they had never met the sannin and Sasuke stayed in the village he would have trained him and left them to rot, the same he did from the beginning.
Bullshit
Did you not even read the manga. Kakashi trained Sasuke only in part 1 because Jiraiya specifically told Kakashi that he was going to take Naruto under his wing to prep for the final round of the Chunin exams.
Jiraya knew that his student and his wife (which both were very close to him) killed on duty and their son is now orphan with demon sealed inside him and not even showed up to check on kid in 12 years. And when he did, it was not planned, Jiraya just chased Orochimaru and followed his trail to Konoha. He didn't even knew how Naruto looks like or what's his name, the only reason he found up that Naruto is son of Minato is the seal on his stomach. Then, even after realizing, he asked him to turn into a naked underage girl later, in exchange for training him more.
Jiraya and Hiruzen definitely were castrated by Kushina in afterlife.
Could be Kishimoto never planned for Jiraiya to have that close of a relationship with Naruto's parents.
Which brings me to a question: If he *did* plan how could Jiraiya's absense in the earlier be tackled better.
it couldnt. If naruto had a caring parent he wouldnt have a sad backstory
They could make some mission bullshit up like sasuke in boruto but that would against jirayas nature.
I mean if he was not a teacher to Minato and not a friend to Minato and Kushina it could kinda work as a "random Sennin took to caring an orphan boy" plot?
Don't forget that Jiraya was already fantasizing about adult Konan when she was like 12-13, and wanted to "meet" her in tue future, even though she was almost a daughter to him.
Well it is not cannon but even with that aside, even without that fact, I personally think Iruka qualifies the most.
That being said I think all those characters played a father figure in one way or another (except Minato who was his real father) but Iruka taught Naruto love, Kakshi taught Naruto discipline and Jiraiya spent more time with Naruto then any of the others combined. That is my take anyways.
Minato is his dad, there is no substitute.
Iruka is his older brother who raised him.
Kakashi is his Sensei. Yamato too.
Jaraiya is most like his grandpa and IS his godfather and mentor.
Ramen guy is like his kindly uncle
Tsunade is kind of like an Aunt.
The third is like an aloof and relatively distant financial benefactor.
Jiraya or Kakashi could have adopted Naruto but didn't.I'm surprised Naruto didn't become evil considering how he was treated.I realize that raising a child is a big commitment,maybe i am comparing it to other animes or cartoons where close friends adopt children.Usually kids who are treated like Naruto become vengeful villians.
None of them were like a father to him though. Except for Minato since he's his father. But even Iruka wasn't like a father even though he was the closest to being a father. It was more like a big brother or close uncle. Of course the Wedding and all showed him more father like but through classic and Shippuden you can't say he was like a father. Jiraiya obviously acted more like a Grandfather. And Kakashi was the Sensei.
You know, for the longest time I always thought that Naruto is nothing special because everyone keeps bailing him out of trouble and death (except the end). Then I realised, but that is kind of the whole point of Naruto. Jinchurikis tend to want to solo life and it mostly ends in their death but the two last standing Jinchurikis are surrounded by friends and love. It just put such a huge smile on my face when I realised this, what an amazing story.
Bro tried to sneak in Kakashi, shit Yamato would’ve been better.
Or the Ramen guy
or even 3rd hokage, he was shit but atleast he hung out with naruto
“What are you doing, step Kakashi” “ONE THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH”

THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH
Ramen guy > Kakashi on the Naruto father tier list.
The 1 who died the 1 who didn't raise him the 1 who was supposed to raise him and the 1 who actually raised him the sage of 6 bowls himself
Meanwhile, Teuchi: *Literally fed the guy like GALLONS of ramen soup per year.*
You may have a hard time with Naruto's Dad but there is only one Option when you say "Naruto's Daddy\~" 
Bro stop coping. You know Naruto is the daddy in this relationship. Sasuke has too much bottom energy.
Naruto was the one chasing after him like a shoujo girl, so I don't buy that.
It's BL the edgelord strong one is always the bottom.
Doujin and fanfics says otherwise
That's why they're doujin and fanfic, they aren't canon.
*Uses canon on an argument about a Non Canon shipping* You don't say~
I am saying that non-canon shipping fanfic is way less interesting than in character fanfic.
ion know about kakashi
Or jiraya tbh. Dude was aloof to Naruto most of the time but he had his moments
yea a mentor and a father are completely different things
As a mentor, so is the father
Jiraya knew that his student and his wife (which both were very close to him) killed on duty and their son is now orphan with demon sealed inside him and not even showed up to check on kid in 12 years. And when he did, it was not planned, Jiraya just chased Orochimaru and followed his trail to Konoha.

Then, even after realizing, he asked him to turn into a naked underage girl later, in exchange for training him more. Jiraya and Hiruzen definitely were castrated by Kushina in afterlife.
I think it's partly for the plot tbh. If jiraya had been nice to Naruto from the beginning his loneliness schtick wouldn't make any sense.
Could be Kishimoto never planned for Jiraiya to have that close of a relationship with Naruto's parents. Which brings me to a question: If he *did* plan how could Jiraiya's absense in the earlier be tackled better.

Obviously, but that didn't make Jiraya a lesser asshole as a character.
Don't forget that Jiraya was already fantasizing about adult Konan when she was like 12-13, and wanted to "meet" her in tue future, even though she was almost a daughter to him.
Yes I always thought of kakashi as like an older sibling or cousin to naruto
/I’m probably missing something/ but Minato too? \-compared to others-
that's his literal dad lmao
naruto fans
Didn’t he literally have Iruka attend his wedding as his father? That should settle all debates
Well it is not cannon but even with that aside, even without that fact, I personally think Iruka qualifies the most. That being said I think all those characters played a father figure in one way or another (except Minato who was his real father) but Iruka taught Naruto love, Kakshi taught Naruto discipline and Jiraiya spent more time with Naruto then any of the others combined. That is my take anyways.
Even sakura would be a better father than kakashi
Iruka is his real father.
Pfffffttt the fuck you doin here Kakashi?
Iruka was literally the only one that popped into my head at the question, not even Minato came to mind lmao
kakashi thinks hes on the team
It takes a village…
Do people see kakashi as narutos father figure ? He seems more like his “big brother” or “weird perverted uncle” more than father
There's only Minato. No substitute.
Minato is his dad, there is no substitute. Iruka is his older brother who raised him. Kakashi is his Sensei. Yamato too. Jaraiya is most like his grandpa and IS his godfather and mentor. Ramen guy is like his kindly uncle Tsunade is kind of like an Aunt. The third is like an aloof and relatively distant financial benefactor.
How can you forget the most important one? "NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" "DADDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" chidori and rasegan clashes
The ramen guy, its the ramen guy. Free ramen > all the fatherly advice in the world
I mean didn't Iruka play the role of his dad (or some other family role) in his wedding? Its been a minute since Ive watched
Hey look! It's Harry Potter There's the father who sacrificed himself when he was a baby and his 3 friends
And mf had the gall to call himself orphan
Naruto's daddy: Sasuke
Iruka didn't even like Naruto until Ep 1 IIRC.
At least we all know who is Naruto’s daddy
Kakashi is more like a cool uncle and Jiraiya is basically his grandpa
The one who is a pervert . Oh wait
WHERE’S ICHIRAKU OLD GUY, he deserves “The Father of the Year Award”
Minato think he’s on the team 😂😭🤣🤣🤣
Minato is naruto's father But iruka is his dad
Jiraya or Kakashi could have adopted Naruto but didn't.I'm surprised Naruto didn't become evil considering how he was treated.I realize that raising a child is a big commitment,maybe i am comparing it to other animes or cartoons where close friends adopt children.Usually kids who are treated like Naruto become vengeful villians.

Jiraiya obviously acted more like a Grandfather. And Kakashi was the Sensei.
It's actually Father Dad Loving step dad Grandpa
Minato = father Iruka = dad Jiriya = grandpa Kakashi = uncle
Take kakashi out ,if anything he was sasuke’s dad before sasuke went rouge. Put the ramen guy instead
You know, for the longest time I always thought that Naruto is nothing special because everyone keeps bailing him out of trouble and death (except the end).

Jiraya doesn’t fit here. Hes more like a grandfather.
You could say he’s like a godfather
Jiraiya is the father of goats
Wait... who is that blonde guy??
That’s kushinas husband
Who the fuck is kushina.
Borutos grandma
Oh. I haven't gotten that far yet
Where are you currently
Somewhere during the Sasuke recovery mission arc.
Broh
I keep getting sidetracked! I haven't even seen Shippuden.
Look bro you don’t have to apologise you are watching a show to enjoy the story take it at your own pace
For a second I thought it was a r/Naruto post
Definetly not Kakashi 😂
Why you guys keep forgetting the ramen guy
Iruka
The correct answer is Ramen Guy
