It's because he's your dad that he needed to know.
[ Kakashi's voice is light, and though he knows Naruto's probably a little embarrassed about this, it's important that Naruto understands. This part, Kakashi's not sorry about at all. ]
And even if he weren't your father, as Hokage, it would've been important for him to know what occurred... Especially as it involves a jounin sensei and a genin.
[For some reason it just bugs the hell out of him knowing that his Dad knows. Though Kakashi never said when he told him- has he known all this time??]
I don't see why he has to know!
[And being reminded that he is still a genin is just the icing on the cake of embarrassment!]
When you become Hokage, Naruto, you'll understand.
[ This was, after, a rather severe indiscretion that could have had rather serious consequences, had Minato not been so forgiving and understanding. ]
I made a pretty bad mistake, and even if it wasn't my own will, the Hokage needed to be notified that it occurred. It was my responsibility to report it, even if the Hokage is your dad.
[ He's really not, actually. He did tell Minato these things in confidence, and it's entirely possible Minato didn't tell Kushina to protect the trust Kakashi placed in him. ]

Ah, yes, it's okay, Naruto, but... I had to tell your father.
[ A slight pause. ]
I'm sorry, he's the Hokage, he needed to know.
[ And he's your dad, you know. ]

[The only thing worse than kissing Kakashi- his Dad knowing about it.]
Why's the Hokage need to know stuff like that? He's my DAD!

Luckily enough nobody can see the faces he is pulling right now.]
I guess... but still.
no subject
[ Yup, Naruto, he's known this entire time. ]
no subject
How long has he known?!
no subject
[ Okay maybe a little too lightly there. ]
no subject
Oh man.. I wonder if my Mom knows too..

[ He's really not, actually. He did tell Minato these things in confidence, and it's entirely possible Minato didn't tell Kushina to protect the trust Kakashi placed in him. ]
You could ask him.
no subject
[Nevermind, he'd rather not know. His Dad hadn't mentioned any of it until now, maybe it was better that way?]

...No, it's fine.
If my Mom knew, she probably would've said something by now, y'know?
no subject
[ Though Naruto's probably right. ]
no subject
[Though he still feels as though she would have mentioned it. He lets out a little sigh].
Do you think I should talk to my Dad? Y'know.. to tell him I know that he knows?
no subject
[ This is, after all, very personal. And embarrassing, for Naruto. ]
no subject
[He'll have to think about that.]
But thinks are cool between us, more or less, right Kakashi-sensei?

[He lets the silence linger on for just a moment.]
It's those guys' faults, not ours. The ones that keep doing all these stupid experiments.
