Meaningful Highlights from Kakashi Retsuden:
Minato catching Kakashi before he falls, the same way Kakashi always does for his students. And Kakashi, even at eight or nine years old, straight out of his father's funeral and before being his student, immediately relaxing when he runs into Minato: His feet tangled beneath him and he pitched forward. Into someone’s back. “You were really strong back there,” a voice told him, and he suddenly saw bright golden hair. He felt his breathing become a little easier. The Yellow Flash of Konoha. Namikaze Minato.
Kakashi describing his current feelings about his father: Now he felt proud from the bottom of his heart to have been born the child of the White Fang of Konoha.
Kakashi wanting to help the people of Redaku in a way that they can sustain themselves, even as he actually is providing a great deal of support through the process: The people of this country had to learn how to stand up and walk under their own strength. Give a starving person bread or teach them how to grow wheat. As Hokage, Kakashi had always chosen the latter.
Kakashi reflecting on his time as Sixth Hokage he eschewed tradition to build something that developed beyond shinobi: A never-ending peace. That was what Kakashi had sought as the Sixth Hokage. An orderly society that would go on and on even when he was not the Hokage, even when the day came when the role of Hokage disappeared. To create a framework so that they would never again fall into the quagmire of war.
The way Kakashi shows that he still views all of the former students taught by him and his friends in a parental and protective way: They had long since reached adulthood, and some were now parents while others were active on the front lines as shinobi. Even so, no matter how many years passed, to Kakashi, they were his precious students and the next generation who needed to be protected. Seeing them having so much fun was enough to ease his heart.

I love both Team 7 and Team Minato. But you know, even though they have similar dynamics, similar characters and life circumstances, the amount of fanfics in certain areas surprises me. I've seen a lot of fanfics where Minato adopts Kakashi. I've seen a lot of fanfics where Kakashi adopts Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke or all three at once(love it). I've seen many fanfics where Naruto and Sasuke live together(before Kakashi's team is formed) for different reasons. They are two orphans, why not? But I haven't seen any fic where Kakashi and Obito moved in together while still being kids. It's a bit of a shame there's no such thing, it's a really interesting idea to realize.

I also have a short manga called "Bad Feeling"
I translate all pages into English so everyone can read it.
Kakashi's thoughts: "When I panicked and used the rai-kiri to protect Rin from an enemy flying towards her, I received a deep wound in my side. A sharp pain pierced my body, leaving me no chance to stay on my feet for the next couple of hours. Apparently , there was poison on the kunai, just as I thought"
Rin: Kakashi!
Kaka: We retreat
“My body failed me. I still fell to the ground. After that, I remember everything only in fragments.”
“It seemed to me that I was dying: Blood was soaking my clothes at high speed, the pain rang through my body with sharp sensations, as if my nerve endings were being torn from the inside. Damn hell.”
“I heard Rin’s voice so far away from me, although she was sitting next to me.”
"I heard another voice in the background. It seems that Teacher Minato is already here. He's 20 minutes late…"
"Quiet and Dark"
"Am I dead?"
“Is there nothing after death?”
"And I was wrong. Heart rate monitor"
Rin: Kakashi! How are you I healed everything as best I could, but my skills were not enough to remove all the poison
"I made her worry… After Obito died, she was scared by my pale appearance."
Rin: You scared me quite a bit when you started to lose consciousness, but the doctor said it was because of the sharingan
Kaka: I'm fine
“But despite this, there was still a bad feeling inside me. As if the danger was not yet over.”
"As if something terrible will happen later"
"Not now"
Minato: Wait, someone is coming
Comrade: Minato, are you sure that this is the enemy?
Minato: "Oh no…"
Minato: Kakashi, can you hear me?!
Minato: Take her and take her to Konoha
Comrade: Yes, of course
Minato: I…
“I think it was terribly painful for the teacher to see this picture.”
Minato: Forgive me, I didn't have time!
“But the terrible thing was that the bad feeling never left me. The anxiety inside continued to build up. I thought a lot about this feeling. But for two years I began to ignore it, and only then did I understand why this feeling would not let me go.”
"After that day it was empty"
