#1st mentorship matchup
Note
the world. Wisdom of an old person, spirit of a young child - that’s my philosophy. I’m a deeply emotional person but can also be semi detached at times, it’s a weird contradiction—I feel other people’s emotions so much that sometimes I just go numb for a lil. So introverted extrovert? Mix of the two I suppose. I love sexy times. I need to feel connected to the person though, like our souls touch. Yeah, I know..weird. but I just feel like my soul reaches out and craves contact. Thank you!! :3
Mentor Matchup: Kakashi
Note: Hii~~ Just be aware this should be read with the mindset that you begin your training fresh out of the academy -so 12-14 years old.- and then progress to when you no longer need mentorship.

Okay, so this one is based a lot on your preference with people. As I believe that dictates a lot of how a mentor will teach their student. Someone who is more like you in approch to persons.
Kakashi himself is empathetic however would rather be inside not interacting with persons if it can be avoided. So as such when training if would mostly involve a secluded area.
Kakashi’s elemental type is lightning, although due to his sharingan he can copy other elemental jutsu’s he sees. Therefore whatever element is your affinity he will be able to provide insight. With having him as mentor your best bet is becoming a combat specials or tactical strategist. So if your hope was medic ninja no luck.
In consideration with his skill your abilities will improve mainly in chakra control, and chakra form, perhaps the density of your chakra as well. In many cases rookies are unaware of how to properly retain their chakra and manage how much they use in a single jutsu. Here Kakashi is at a disadvantage his use in retainment is bad, Chidori being a prime example as it uses to much chakra and is not a straight shot unless you get close enough, the longer it is maintained the more chakra it uses. Not mentioning the fact that it takes a lot of energy to activate in the first place.
What he will teach you is close range combat, both hand-to-hand, and close & mid-range ninjutsu as is his skillset. You will learn not only how to use advanced jutsu, but also how to formulate your own jutsu based on your own skill -of course this will be later on in your training.- As Kakashi is well known as an extremely talented fighter it should stand to reason that you his pupil should as well.
He is a patient man, not rash, and forgiving of mistakes. He would also be a fun mentor to have as well. I’m sure you would become friends eventually, though time it will take. Likely if your into reading he will find a mutual point of understanding. Perhaps just sitting outside reading a book together and disguising it. As you get older though the more fiercely protective he will get. Kind of like a father figure. I do imagine you will have to be in a secret relationship for awhile before he backs off. Watch your loved one around him, there will be threats, and possibly a challenge.
Which brings me onto his method of training: Challenges. Kakashi’s first way of surmising skill is how you deal with real life situations in a fabricated setting. It could be anything from fetching leafs to climbing a tree. You do training his way or not at all so best be prepared.
The hardest thing to learn for a shinobi is to kill. Killing isn’t easy and not many people can handle it calmly or rationally. Now each mentor will handle this differently. In Kakashi’s case he will try to numb you too it. Tell you that the job you are doing is to protect people a swap of one life for many others. It’s not an ideal world view but for a ninja there never is. Making your first kill will be hard on both of you, and while I cannot imagine Kakashi as the comforting type he will understand that on some level you need it. Giving you a day off, and then bringing you back into routine by doing some calming activities together to keep your mind off of it and keep you at ease, in the moment. 
This mentorship has a certain amount of attachment to it, but it is easy and flows without much sacrifice.
