KakaRin

KakaRin is the het ship between Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara from the Naruto fandom.

Canon
Kakashi and Rin were members of the same team along with Obito under Minato. Rin had a crush on Kakashi but he did not seem to notice this or care. When Kakashi was promoted to Jonin, Rin Rin gave him a special medical kit, which had an amulet of protection as a gift to congratulate him on his promotion. They later went on a mission, and Kakashi uses chidori for the first time, and has his chakra praised by Rin. After a while Rin was captured by the enemy. Kakashi was more concerned about completing their mission but changed his mind after he was convinced by Obito.

Kakashi managed to save Rin from being tortured in a Genjutsu. However, Obito was fatally wounded so he had Rin transplant his Sharingan to Kakashi. As Obito was seemingly dying, he asked Kakashi to keep looking after Rin. Later, when they are away from the cave, Kakashi says that Obito loved Rin, but she ends up declaring herself to Kakashi. Still in this scene, Kakashi asks Rin to leave, and that he would take care of the enemy, but Rin did not leave Kakashi's side at any time. Kakashi ends up fainting due to lack of chakra, and is rescued by Minato along with Rin. After Kakashi regains consciousness, he asks worriedly about Rin. In a later mission, Rin was captured and used to become a Jinchuriki bomb in hopes of destroying Konoha. She begged Kakashi to kill her but he refused. Because of this, Rin later jumped in front of Kakashi's Chidori and purposefully took a lethal blow in order to save the village, When Rin was killed, it is said that she would rather die at the hands of someone she loved. Kakashi teared up when she did this and decided that all of his friends were dead at this point.

Kakashi was upset over Rin's death and often went to visit her grave throughout the years. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi encountered Obito on the battlefield and learned that he was still alive. Obito had witnessed Rin's death and was determined to create a world where he could see her again. Kakashi eventually convinced Obito to side against Madara and a vision of Rin grabbed both of their hands at one point.

During the childhood of the characters, we see more clearly the love that Rin feels for Kakashi, for example, the scene where she looks at Kakashi while he fights. We also have several scenes of Rin just watching Kakashi train, usually with a twinkle in her eyes! Rin also helped with the "dissemination" of flyers to commemorate Kakashi's promotion.

In the genjutsu that Obito put on Kakashi, Rin would be alive, and she says that she loves Kakashi.
