I think Naruto and Beatrice have respect and admiration towards each other, Beatrice had more time (comparatively) to dwell on it so she may consider him as a childhood crush developed after she met him. In that case it makes sense she'd blurt out some things as she's travelling to some agreeable folks, and those obsessed with her would pick those up and try something ill thought out like pretending to be Naruto from what little tidbits they know.

The way I see she's not looking for him out love, but sees him as someone she cares about an wants to reconnect with. Whether it can become love depends on Naruto maturing a whole lot and being older before it can even happen so... Probably not happening.
 
The water.

It wasn't just water. It was a veil.

A second skin stretched over a wound so deep it hummed. And under that veil… something stirred. A darkness that had mass. Weight. Hunger. It wasn't sleeping. It was drowning. It was holding something back.

A god? A curse? Something worse?

He didn't want to know. And yet… he couldn't look away.

"Boy." Rickert's voice sliced through the silence. "You're viewing the world as a soul."

Naruto blinked, if blinking was still a thing, and turned toward his echo in the lattice.

"Don't try to understand it," Rickert warned. "Soul sorcery comes from within. Focus on yourself. On the catalyst. Not the world. The more you try to comprehend what isn't yours to grasp, the more you invite madness."

His voice dropped.

"Everything in Lordran has a cost. For magic? It's the mind. The soul starts to see, and seeing becomes yearning. And yearning becomes obsession. That's the beginning of Hollowing, boy. The mind tries to understand the gods' language… and breaks."

And there it is. Insight. Bloodborne is calling from the future.

"I wonder, sweet vessel… should I show thee what becometh of such knights when their minds unravel? Wouldst he still remain gentle? Or would the spiral claim his soul entire?"

Anastacia's hands flew to her mouth. "Please… don't."

The crow's head snapped toward her. Its eyes burned with cruel light. "Then do it."

Her breath hitched.

"Take thy blade. Cleanse thy blasphemy. Restore thy silence. Let not the defiled tongue twist once more within thy flesh."
