So after reading the latest manga, I arrived at the conclusion that A hates Naruto.
Now, I think that there are multiple reasons for this but I'll start with the one that everyone seems to know
The Raikage views Naruto as an idiot. He has said it multiple times. He already thought that Naruto was foolish based on their first meeting, in which Naruto asked him to spare the life of a deadly criminal. I think that his opinion dropped even lower when he heard that this same fool was the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi. In his mind, Konoha was to blame for his foolishness and the ammount of freedom given to him. It seems rather clear that the Raikage is very strict with what he allows Bee to do, seeing as Bee had to stage his own death to earn some free time away from the village. The Raikage seems to be one of the Kage still leaning towards the way of the old shinobi, and thus hates this new image of shinobi that Naruto and the ninja of Konoha are creating.
Now I'll move on to the next two reasons that I feel less people picked up on.
Naruto is the Raikage's former archrival's son. I think that when the Raikage looks at Naruto, it reminds him of his old rival, the fourth Hokage. He told Naruto that Minato was the only man in the world who was faster than him. At this point I thought that he had a respect for Minato, until he said that he fought against him, and then later said that he was a failure. I'm guessing that Minato won all of the battles that they had with each other. I can't see the Raikage letting Minato escape and live if he were the victor, however, I can see Minato allowing the Raikage to get away. Because of this envy of the fourth, I feel that the Raikage can't stand to look at Naruto, as it reminds him of how he was inferior to the fourth.
And it's time for the last reason.
The Raikage hates that Konoha and Naruto possess the ninetails, which is a step above the eighttailes. This became evident to me when he began to express his desire to kill Naruto. Especially when Bee offered to give his life instead. The Raikage said that Bee was a better tactical investment due to the fact that he could use the Tailed Beast Bomb. However, wouldn't the Nine Tails be a better investment due to it's higher chakra levels? If the Raikage were to kill Naruto and they procede to win the war, wouldn't he have also severely crippled Konoha's military power? I think that the Raikage HATES the possibility of there being a Jinchuuriki that could surpass Bee's level, and wants to eliminate that possibility.
So what do you think? If you appreciated it, the thank post button is also appreciated.
