BloodyCrystal: Next up, another guy. Set sometime before the Chuunin Exam Finals.
Fate
He threw the word around, but it was never casual. His use of it to explain everything seemed cavalier and uncaring, but he had put a lot of thought into his seemingly-arbitrary belief in Fate.
Simply put, his father had not chosen to die for Hyuuga-sama nor had he chosen to be born second and become Branch. Hyuuga-sama had not chosen to have his oldest daughter be a talent-less failure, nor had he chosen to have the most talented Hyuuga prodigy be the Branch son of his younger twin brother. Something else must have decided this, and that something was Fate.
After realizing that, he had quickly discovered Fate everywhere in everything. It wasn't hard, not once he'd started. It had come easier and easier as time went on rather than becoming harder to find in things.
He had learned quickly: Fate was responsible for everything.
