Why is this so hard to understand when the Manga and Movie practically beat you over the head with it? in Gaiden he was angry because Hinata made Naruto food that he completely ignored, while in the Movie Naruto couldn't be bothered to be at Himawari's birthday in the flesh. Boruto practically spells it out to Naruto that it's not about him but about Himawari/Hinata.

And again: he cheated on an exam. Big deal. People act like he's out to murder Naruto. He's not. It also didn't take a duel to the death to turn him around. By the end of the Movie, he's OK with his dad. It's clear Naruto didn't tell him much of the past because he'd rather keep all the death, pain and destruction out of a 10-year-old's life.
