A/N: Reminder to everyone that this is a DRABBLE series. Chapters are short. :P The only requirement I have for them is over 100 words. This one is 423ish. :P

Naruto should have been the one that was like that, after all, he was the one that caged Kyuubi. Kagome had thought the demon would hold some influence over him, but Naruto's will was too strong for that. Instead, he seemed more like an angry dog than a fox.

The two clones poofed away, and Neji walked over to the last clone, the one that survived his kick earlier, and he hit a chakra point, forcing it to poof away. "Does he have eyes on the back of his head?" Naruto asked himself, staring.

"You're going to become the Hokage? At this level, it is impossible." Neji said, turning his eyes to Naruto. "I can generally tell with these eyes...Intrinsic abilities are set. Figuratively speaking, everything inherent about people are set."

Naruto glared, angry. "Why? Why are you always so judgmental like that?" He asked, but Neji seemed to ignore him.

"Then...are you going to say that anybody can become the Hokage if they just work hard?" Neji asked, seriously. "Only a very small percentage of Shinobi are chosen to be the Hokage! This is the reality! Those who become the Hokage are born with a destiny. A fate. It's not something you become by trying to become it. It is something determined by fate. People must live within their different respective currents, that can not be defied. The one single destiny everyone shares equally is death."

Kagome bit her lip. It was true. Her eyes didn't leave Neji, yet she didn't truly see him.

She was lost in thought. It had always been her fate to be the wife, the one to have the children and to raise them. The one to leave so that her husband should find happiness.

She closed her eyes, trying to will the tears away.

What he said was true.

And one day, he would find comfort in the arms of another.

"So...So what! I don't know when to give up! Shadow Clone Justu!" Naruto's voice broke into her thoughts and she looked at them.

Her eyes widened at the sight of so many Naruto. Her mouth opened and she found her voice was nothing but a whisper.

"Go Naruto." Fight fate. Prove to me it's possible.
