As much as he would argue otherwise, Naruto's teenaged life revolved around prophecies. He was trained by the Toad Sage, just as was foretold, and he saved the world, just as the child of prophecy was to do. He never was fond of the idea of fate (irritated by the word and spiteful of the theory) but the more he looked at his life and the more he learned of his heritage, the more he realized that some things may be fatidic. Even if they were not foretold by a prophet or a seer, Naruto could find instances in his life that he thought would have happen the same no matter what events happened differently.
One thing he realized is that he, or someone related to him by blood, would have ended up with the Kyuubi. When he met his parents, he realized that they would never want to burden anyone with that big of a responsibility, so, in their desperation, they gave it to Naruto, knowing that it would be hard, but also knowing that he would be able to handle it. Even if they had survived, he would have ended up with it, and if it wasn't released, Kurama would have stayed within their family.
Kakashi decided that he should have realized that the deaths of his parents when he was younger might have foreboded the many deaths that would have followed in his thirty something years. He did shy away from getting to close to anyone at the time, but there were those few who wiggled their way into his heart. Maito Gai was one of those few who wiggled… of maybe it was the eyebrows that did the wiggling. Kakashi enjoyed their "eternal rivalry" as Gai called it, but he shows said enjoyment by acting oblivious to Gai's speeches, which throws the latter into talking about Kakashi "being so hip" and all that nonsense.
One of the scariest moments, not that he would admit, was when Gai uttered those four words to open the last gate, removing all bodily walls that limited movement, flexibility, and chakra useage. Kakashi figured that Gai would go out like this, over the top ridiculous with power radiating off of him, but it still hurt all the same. He watched with sad fascination as his friend unleashed his ultimate abilities and tore Madara a new one. Kakashi watched as the last of the power faded from his friend and he collapsed on the battlefield, barely breathing as his body destroyed itself from overexertion. The pang in his heart faded when Naruto arrived, saving Gai, his best friend and brother-in-arms, from certain death.

Thanks for reading! Had some stuff come up earlier today, so it is a bit later than when I originally planned to post this… Ah well, at least I got it done!
Have an amazing day,
