Why didn't Kakashi take care of Naruto? During the flashback some people have and or Kakashi, we find out that Namikaze Minato, Naruto's dad, was Kakashi's teacher, and that Kakashi had a big respect for him. Also, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin were his teammates. We also find out that in one of the flashbacks Kakashi has, it shows that when he was in the ANBU Minato buts him to guard and protect his wife, Kushina until she had about nine months of being pregnant. After Minato let Kakashi free for a couple of days, he went to visit Rin's grave and then Obito's engraved name to tell them that their sensei was having a child. I think a couple of days after that Naruto was born, and Kyuubi rampaged around the village. Minato risked his life to seal away Kyuubi inside Naruto to protect him and the village.

Minato and Kushina died and left Naruto all alone, so why didn't Kakashi take care of Naruto. I mean I know the Third gave Naruto money every month or so, but why didn't Kakashi at least watch Naruto from the shadows like he did with Kushina. Was it because he was too busy with his ANBU work, did he just forget his sensei had a child or was he too young to be taking care of kids. I mean he was just what 14 or something, he could have still managed to look at him or something. Or did he just feel it was wrong to get close to Naruto?

One of my cousins and me were talking about this a couple of days ago and it got me wondering. I didn't know how to respond to my cousin, so I just decided to ask you all.
Being Anbu and a guardian to Naruto doesn't seems like a great idea. And Naruto was in the care of the Third, so it might not seem necessary. It is also to be noted that, Kakashi has a hard time connecting to someone emotionally too. And as per his past, he wouldn't want to get attached to anyone and wanted to be only an Anbu. It was the Third who removed him from the Anbu and assigned him with various teams as tests, as shown in the anime filler, and in the end assigned with Team 7.
