I've seen when Kakashi was training Naruto with his elemental affinity that
Naruto cannot see what his clone is doing until it is undone. How does he
control the clone? Does it move and think like a separate entity? Can it think
to try to kill the original?

Does Naruto consciously control his clones?


> Does it move and think like a separate entity?

Yes, the clones are completely independent, apart from the fact that Naruto
can undo any clone he wishes to.

This can be seen when they collaborate and the fact that they need to
communicate in order to do so. Note that when Naruto creates them, they know
what he knows so he can _think_ of a plan, create the clones, and everybody
knows their role in the plan without a need to discuss it—they are still
independent.

> Can it think to try to kill the original?

Possibly. But seeing as they have a short life and have just been cloned,
Naruto would have had to be thinking about that kind of thing himself already
in order for a clone to really do that. And of course, since Naruto can undo a
clone at will, it would mean that as soon as he senses a threat from a clone
he can undo it.
