Naruto: Shippūden

Naruto: Shippūden is an anime series and a direct sequel to the Naruto anime series. The series corresponds with the second half for Masashi Kishimoto's manga series known as Part II. The second part of the series follows the adolescent Naruto Uzumaki attempting to rescue Sasuke Uchiha. However, Naruto also deals with the Akatsuki, which is used by the masked ninja Tobi to carry out a plan about an epic war.

Asuma Sarutobi

 * [To Ino] Don't let Sakura surpass you, either...in love or Ninjutsu.
 * [In a flashback] And this is where I stop being in charge. From now on, each of you will become captains and lead your own teams. Don't ever forget we were once "Team 10!"
 * [Last words] I just want one last smoke...
 * [To his father's (The Third Hokage) grave] I'm sorry for leaving Konoha and doing all those things without much thought.
 * ...Now I'm glad I was born into the Sarutobi family.
 * [Facing the Third Hokage's grave] You were one heck of a dad.
 * [About Shikamaru] Shikamaru can think 10 steps ahead and consider 200 possible moves in a second. But his real strength is his knack for choosing the best one.
 * [To his students] These earrings are a present for you three. Congratulations! Don't ever forget that the four of us were Team 10! And don't forget, these earrings are also symbols that your respective clans now consider you adults. I think you already know how the earring ceremony goes. When you finally return your hoop earrings to your clansmen, that's the moment you grow up. Get to it!
 * [To Shikamaru] The kings...are the unborn children...who will grow up to take care of Konoha. One...is still in Kurenai's womb...her and my child. Take care of my king.
 * [To Choji] Stop crying and fight me, you worthless fatass!
 * That's what I want to see, Choji. That face...that's all you need to become stronger than anyone. A face brimming with confidence!
 * Finishing me off with my own weapon? I'm so moved, I can't move!
 * [To Shikamaru, Ino, Choji] Then let me add to them with something I couldn't say back then... I've got nothing more to say to you three. Your Ino-Shika-Chou formation was perfect!

Chiyo

 * I have too many regrets to die just yet.
 * And Sakura... do not risk your life for an old hag next time. Save what is important to you.
 * [To Naruto] I'm happy that someone like has you appeared in the world of shinobi that we foolish old people created. Everything I've ever done was a mistake. But now, at the end, it looks like I'll finally be able to do the right thing. The Sand and the Leaf.. [Looks up at the sky] Their future will be much different than the way things were back in my day. [Looks back down] That strange power of yours that Kakashi mentioned.. That power will have a strong influence on the future. Become a Hokage like none before you.
 * Naruto... a request from an old woman. You are the only one who knows Gaara's pain... Gaara also knows your pain. Please, save Gaara...
 * I'm retired now, I can do whatever I want!
 * Haha, I tricked you! I was only pretending to be dead.
 * Don't treat me like a old lady!
 * It's been a long time... Since I've seen my grandson
 * Youth... Is something that holds such possibilities.
 * [Last words] Naruto... do an old woman a favor, won't you? You are the only person in the world who knows the extent of Gaara's pain. He also knows your pain. Please look after Gaara.

Choji Akimichi

 * I'm not fat! I'm big boned!
 * Dad...you were protecting me...
 * I always thought that things would kind of just fall into place. I thought that when I got older, I'd get bigger and stronger, and my mind would be tougher. I thought the oath was just a stupid ceremony.
 * I solemnly swear that as sixteenth head of the Akimichi clan, I will defend the oath taken by the fifteenth generation, and raise the seventeenth to protect it. In order to protect both the Yamanaka and Nara clans, and to protect Konoha, I, Choji Akimichi, do hereby emerge from my cocoon as a fully grown butterfly...and take flight!
 * [To Shikamaru while coming to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto's stupid and I'm fat...that was always the joke...but people aren't what they seem! [In thought] Wait for me, slightly-stupid Naruto! Slim Choji is coming to back you up!

Choza Akimichi

 * That's one down, Kakashi!
 * [On Kakashi] He already worked out what his opponent's ability was and set up a substitute clone. Kakashi's habits haven't changed since the last time I teamed up with him. He's full of clever tricks, as usual.
 * Don't get soft on me, Choji! You're a sixteenth generation Akimichi. Act like it!
 * The mark on the right is the Akimichi clan's symbol, see? Let's see...the centre one's the Nara clan's, and the left is the Yamanaka's. We've each mastered some very rare secret ninja techniques. They have a special relationship; our three clans have teamed up and worked together for generations. To strengthen our unity, it's tradition that the Sarutobi gave us gifts of special earrings that we present to each generation when they swear their oaths. (...) It's so we never forget the oath we take. The earring's always there, whispering it into our ear. You're going to have to get pierced too someday. You'll wear my earring from the day you become a genin to the day you become a chuunin.
 * [After giving Choji his earrings] You're a man now, son. Someday, you'll have your own children to raise and protect, and loan these new earrings with your oath in them.
 * You know how Asuma's always telling you you're lacking something, Choji? It's confidence! Look at your old man! I got married, didn't I?
 * Choji! You grew wings without taking the pills!
 * [To Shikamaru] Sorry Choji's been such a pain to deal with. But that's all over. He's now worthy of being the sixteenth head of the Akimichi.

Danzo Shimura

 * [To Sai] Don’t use a fake smile like that in front of me.
 * [Speaking of Sandaime Hokage] That old man was always afraid of getting into disputes and making decisions.
 * Emotion leads one to hate… and hate leads one to conflict and war.
 * The princess did become Hokage after all. With Katsuyu's techniques, she'll be able to prevent total annihilation... but there will still be some causalities. Those are a necessary sacrifice for us. In order for me to become Hokage.
 * [Last Words, while thinking about Third Hokage] You are the leaves bathing in the sun, I... am the roots that grow in the dark.

Deidara

 * True art is an explosion!
 * I gotta say, this village's design is pretty artistic. Means it's really worth destroying.
 * "Thing"? Philistine!  Some people wouldn't know true art if it bit them on the face.
 * Look at those fools. They have no appreciation for art. You have to feel art. And true art...is an EXPLOSION!"
 * [To Gaara] It'll be troublesome to be attacked from below. Plus... I'm tired of looking at your expressionless face!
 * [About Gaara] Snaring you alive was rough, but this is one more we can scratch off our list.
 * If an artist doesn't get high levels of inspiration, his sentiments are dulled...
 * That explosive power is my masterpiece
 * (about Naruto) There's no mistake. He's the Jinchuriki. The one who bursts in and starts barking. Itachi actually described him quite accurately.
 * [To Naruto] Better listen to your sensei, kid. [knocks on Gaara's face]  This guy's been dead for a while, now.
 * [To Naruto] You're a odd Jinchuriki, aren't ya?
 * My man Sasori was beaten by that little brat, and the old hag. Leaving a thing of eternal beauty for the future? Yeah, right. All he did was get killed. He was overconfident about that puppet; the old fool exposed his weakness. Oh well, it's still an ending worthy of an art.
 * Death by suffocation! [Deidara throws his legs around Tobi's neck]
 * [About Sasuke] You were only able to kill Orochimaru thanks to Uchiha blood .... hmmm? You've just blessed with good genes... so quit acting so smug!
 * Art is something that blossoms for an instant before withering away. Art is beauty that last for just a moment. To me, the essence of art is... AN EXPLOSION!
 * [About Sasuke] Oh, such malice! I like these eyes of his, Tobi! Hmm!
 * Life's only beautiful because it's so fleeting, so transient.
 * [To Tobi] If I had to keep my patience with you in a bag, it’d be bursting at the seams! Say another word and I’ll make you wish you were never born!
 * [To Tobi after defeating the Three-Tailed Beast] You wouldn’t have gotten anywhere without the artistic contribution of my explosive clay… it’s my art that deserves the praise here, uhn!
 * [Last words] Cower in awe! Recoil in despair! Cry your heart out! Because my art... IS AN EXPLOSION!
 * UHN!
 * [Dragging Three-Tailed Beast] ...Hey Tobi, I said not to be overly talkative, but that's too quiet...a reply would be...(Sees Tobi asleep, glares and explodes clay beside Tobi) Hey asshole, time to wake the hell up! Hmm!

Gaara

 * (Referring to Deidara's clay bird) There are no birds like that in the desert.
 * (To Ohnoki) When did you all forsake yourselves.
 * [Gaara's Speech before departing for the Fourth Shinobi War] "In the name of gain and profit for one's nation and village... Shinobi have hated and hurt each other for many years. From the first to the third ninja war and conflicts in between. All of that hatred cried out for power, thus I was born. In the past I was hatred, and power, and a Jinchuuriki.. And I hated this world, and all its people...and thought about destroying both. That's exactly what the Akatsuki is trying to do now. But a single shinobi from The Hidden Leaf Village stopped me. He cried for me. [Remembering Naruto's words]. I was his enemy, yet still he cried for me! He called me his friend even though we battled! He saved me! We were on different sides, but we were both Jinchuuriki. Between those who have experienced the same pain, there can be no hatred. There are no enemies here now because each one of us has bared the pain of being hurt at the Akatsuki's hand! The Sand...the Stone...the Leaf...the Mist..is no more. NOW THERE IS ONLY SHINOBI! And if you are still unable to forgive the Sand, you can come back and face me after this war is over! The friend I spoke of who saved me; is the target of our enemies! If he falls into their hands, our world is finished! I want to protect my friend, and I want to protect this entire world too! But I'm too young and inexperienced to do that. So I ask you, all of you, please lend me your strength for this fight!"
 * [To Tobi] "Peace under an illusion is not true peace. It's only meaningful if the real world manages to accomplish it."
 * "For the sake of the ninja world and as the Kazekage, I will guard you with my life."
 * [To Naruto in Land of Iron] "If you're truly prepared to take up the mantle of a Kage, then as Sasuke's friend, you know what you have to do."
 * [To Tobi] "We won't give up hope."
 * [To Naruto] "Naruto... Just so you know, there will be a war to protect the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails... in other words, you. For the sake of the ninja world and as the Kazekage, I will guard you with my life. If as a member of Akatsuki, Sasuke Uchiha stands in the way of the ninja coalition... I will show him no mercy."
 * [To Naruto in Land of Iron] "I think of you as a friend. I used to think "friend" was just another word... Nothing more, nothing less. But when I met you, I realised what was important was the word's meaning."
 * [To Tsunade about hiding Naruto] "I know him well. He takes too many risks when it comes to his friends... that's why."
 * [To Kankurō, when he asked about how Konoha will overcome Pain's destruction] "He was the one who taught me to deepen my bond with my people. Thanks to him, I was able to regain my true self. That village has him, the one who cherishes a friend's bond more than anyone I know. Naruto Uzumaki... Knowing him and the friends he holds so dear, they will overcome this disaster and grow even stronger from it."
 * [To his father about Shukaku] "Gone forever! I'm no longer the jinchūriki you created!"
 * [To his father] "...Mother definitely was amazing... but, this is the first time you've ever given me "medicine", father..."

Hidan

 * My attacks are the slowest in Akatsuki and the least skilled, so I just can’t hit anything, seriously.
 * You know, this assignment we’ve been given really doesn’t mix well with my beliefs. Carnage is the key precept of the faith of Jashin… the dogma doesn’t let me leave someone half dead.
 * Tsk! Right after the verbal abuse. Man, Kakuzu, you really stink!
 * Everything is prepared! Get ready, this is gonna hurt!
 * As the other dies, their agony radiates through my body, and living through it is pure ecstasy!
 * Now! Let's savour the utmost of suffering together!
 * (After using his curse to fatally wound Asuma) Oh yeah, that hit the spot.


 * Au revoir, shitheads!
 * How do you feel, knowing that you are fighting an immortal guy?
 * I know it's annoying, but it's my religion!
 * Jashin, please watch over me, this time, I am really going to do it, I am going to tear their intestines out...
 * You... you little shit, When I get out I am going to tear you to threads, and then burn you to ashes, and then grind you to dust!


 * Attacking the vitals is such a waste, this pain is what is best, where do you want it next? Or should I just end it now?


 * DUDE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THIS FREAKIN' HURTS?
 * Finally you'll taste that pain... the pain that will kill you!
 * [to Pain] Can't you freakin' wait a bit? It's just getting to the good part... seriously!
 * I should curse that leader next time!


 * [To Asuma] You cut my goddamned head off! This's like, hyper-mega-ultra pain!
 * [Asking Kakuzu to bring his body over] Kakuzu-chan, pretty please? With sugar on top?
 * You can't just go around getting killed outta nowhere. Man, you suck!


 * (To Shikamaru) "Does your village bury their dead? 'Cause it's gonna be a pain digging him up."
 * (To Shikamaru before being buried alive): Don't say I didn't warn you! The day of retribution will come, and the Way of Jashin will punish you! Yes, and then I'll be the one passing judgment! My teeth, that's all I'll need; you'll see! And I'll tear you to pieces!

Hinata Hyuga

 * [To Pain while protecting Naruto] I wouldn't let you lay a finger on Naruto!
 * [Protecting Naruto from Pain] I'm here because I want to be. I've always cry and give up right away... always getting it wrong... Until you, Naruto, showed me the right path to follow. I'd chased you forever... always wishing that someday I would catch up, always dreaming that we would walk side by side... Always trying to make it to where you were. You changed me! Your smile saved me from who I was! I'm not afraid to protect you, even if I die doing so! Because... I love you, Naruto...
 * [In her mind while running to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto... I've always...always been chasing after you...even...now. But...once this war ends, I'm going to stop once and for all. Next time, I'll be next to you, holding your hand...walking with you! Wait for me! Obito has become the ten tails Jinchuriki.
 * Neji just said... that your life is not just your own anymore... Do you understand what he meant? Your words and desire to not let your comrades die... Neither of them are lies! What inspired Neji and carried him this far were those very principles! It's not just you, Naruto... we all hold those same words and feelings within our hearts. They're what bind our lives together and make us comrades. If we all give up and discard those words and feelings now, Neji's sacrifice will have been for nothing... And that is when your comrades truly die, for you are no longer comrades then. That's how I feel... Therefore... stand up together with me, Naruto... Because never going back on one's word... is my ninja way too!

Ino Yamanaka

 * [After Shikamaru tells her that "a weird guy"(Sai) attacked] A weird guy?...like Naruto? Hey, that's Naruto! Hey, Naruto! Long time no see!
 * [Thinking about lunch] I think I'll sit next to Sai.
 * [Talking about Naruto as being a true hero and she may actually be truly attracted to Naruto now] I could almost fall for him!
 * They're using their immortality to their advantage!
 * [In her mind while coming to aid Naruto during the war] Thank you, daddy! You conveyed Naruto's powerful feelings to everyone...I have to make sure that foretelling...comes true!
 * [Talking to Neji and Hinata] Naruto was amazing!
 * Finally, I could almost marry with Naruto!

Itachi Uchiha

 * [Upon joining the party] Hey.
 * [During a flashback] You can also activate the Mangekyou Sharingan as I did. But, there is one condition. You must kill...your closest friend.
 * [Referring to Naruto] He's definitely improved skills. But...it's still not enough.
 * The Hidden Mist Jutsu... Certainly a good choice to make using Genjutsu more difficult.  But before my Sharingan, techniques like this are meaningless.
 * [Answering Kisame] Sasuke is not dead. And besides, the storm has passed.
 * Show yourself, Naruto Uzumaki...
 * [To Naruto] You’re already trapped in my illusion.
 * [To Naruto] ...You’re such a child. You talk of nothing but pipe dreams… there are times when a ninja must make painful choices.
 * [About Naruto to Deidara and Sasori] ...He's the one who bursts in... And barks first.
 * [To Sasuke] Did you get a little taller?
 * [To Sasuke] Tell me, Sasuke. What does your Sharingan see?
 * [To Sasuke] You see me...dead? Well then... [Itachi appears behind him] Let's see how good your eyesight is.
 * ...Every human being relies on and is bounded by his knowledge and experience to live. This is what we call "reality". However, knowledge and experience are ambiguous, thus reality can become illusion. Is it not possible to think that, all human beings are living in their assumptions?
 * The Mangekyou Sharingan has a very unique characteristic... From the day you awaken it, your eyes begin a slow descent into darkness.  The more you use them, the quicker the process moves...  Eventually, the kaleidoscope will lose its light.
 * You were my spare! For decades, the Uchiha's killed their friends to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan...and killed their siblings to make its power permanent! Our clan was tainted because they couldn't stop flaunting their power! Your fate was trenched in blood since the day you were born an Uchiha! Now face me, my little brother! Once I kill you, I'll be transformed... I'll be freed from this wretched clan's destiny!
 * I'm sorry, Sasuke... this is my reality. The light will not leave my world.
 * [To Sasuke] During my Tsukuyomi, you saw an illusion of me ripping your eyes out of their sockets...I will make that dream a reality.
 * Sasuke... Are you finally out of techniques?  If you've got any more moves up your sleeve... I suggest you stop trying to use them...  Now the real fight begins.
 * [To Sasuke] Your eyes belong to me now...I'll take them slowly...I want to savor this.
 * [Last words, to Sasuke] I'm sorry, Sasuke... [Pokes Sasuke's forehead] There won't be a next time.
 * [During a flashback] As a hurdle you must overcome, I'll always be there for you. Even if you hate me...that's what being a big brother is.
 * [To Kisame] We are humans, not fish. We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realize what you are. That is what death is, don't you think?
 * You'll have to take care of Sasuke. [Naruto responds] I was always gonna do that. [Itachi, replies] I was right to believe that you could finish this.
 * [About Shisui's teachings to him] Self-sacrifice... A nameless shinobi who protects peace from within its shadow. That is a true shinobi. Shisui taught me that.
 * [To Naruto] You have certainly become stronger... You gained power but you seem to be forgetting something very important... Listen and remember. The reason the people of the village who used to hate you... Started to admire you and consider you their comrade is that you've always worked hard because you wanted to be acknowledged by them...
 * [To Naruto] If now that you are more powerful you start to forget about others, to be arrogant and to be attached to your ego. One day you will become just like Madara. No matter how powerful you become, never try to shoulder everything alone. Otherwise you will undoubtedly fail.
 * [To Naruto] However powerful you are, don’t take it all on yourself. You do share your father’s dream, right? Then never forget. Becoming Hokage isn’t to get acknowledged. Only those who acknowledged to become Hokage. Never forget your friends.
 * [To Sasuke] I don't think something like perfection exists. That is why I think we are born able to absorb things and by comparing ourselves with something else, we can finally head in a good direction.
 * [Last words to Sasuke after fading away] You never have to forgive me... No matter what you become...I will always love you.

Jiraiya

 * You don't understand a woman's heart at all...
 * [To Naruto] A good teacher will develop good disciple..
 * That hot-quick-temper and monster strength... You've raised that Tsunade Jr...
 * Looks like you've trained another 'Tsunade'.
 * It's time to unveil my latest masterpiece novel! It's been a good three years since I released the famous novel "Make Out Paradise"! This is the greatest creation from my soul! It will make you lose track of time, forget to breathe, and even forget who you are! It's "Make Out Tactics"!
 * [About Naruto] I have to admit, I've come to think of him as my own grandson...
 * I can't believe flat little Tsunade grew such massive boobs and became Hokage! Times sure do change... even you, beautiful as you were, are a 50 year-old bag now. It saddens me to think how your love for those you have lost to death stays inside those jugs of yours... if that's the case, they'll probably get even bigger.
 * Now my job is to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I will gladly put my life on the line, and I'll be smiling the whole time. It's about the only cool thing old farts like me can do.
 * Getting dumped always makes a man stronger. And if he hasn't experienced it enough to be able to laugh and joke about it, or at least use it as material, he can't fulfill his duties as a man.
 * Men aren't meant to pursue happiness.
 * Why do all of you have the Rinnegan?
 * [To Pain] Are you Nagato... or Yahiko?
 * (sigh) ...You never change, do you, Tsunade?
 * Flooded with anger, I cry tears of blood! The hermit of the legendary sennin! The toad sage of the mysterious Myoboku Mountain! The great Jiraiyaaaaaa!
 * You can never overestimate your opponent enough, no matter who he is. I taught you that a long time ago, Nagato...
 * [After he believes he has defeated Pain] Nagato... you have made a mistake in your role [reflects on teaching him] Instead of guiding the world with pain, you should overcome the pain with your strength. That is what I hoped you would accomplish [Reflects on the Toad Sage predicting his training the "destined child"] Though only for a little while... I believed in you. Farewell...
 * [Final thoughts] The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant. Well, that'll end a bit better I hope. The final chapter. I'll call it... frog the bottom of the well drifts off into the great ocean. Heh heh... Just barely glorious, but glorious indeed... Now, I suppose it's about time I put down my pen. Oh... that's right... What should I name the sequel? I wonder... let's see... The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki. Yes, that has a nice ring to it.
 * The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. It's not what they do in life, but what they did before dying that proves their worth...
 * The most important thing of a shinobi to have is the spirit and the guts to never give up.
 * Never give up thats the choice I had to make! Naruto... You're the "Destined Child"... I know it. The rest is up to you!
 * The student's ninja way should be the master's too. Right, Naruto?
 * [In a flashback] I believe that someday the day will come when people truly understand one another!
 * [In a flashback] Being hurt inevitably breeds feelings of hatred towards your attacker. But when we hurt others, we have to deal with their hatred for us, and our own feelings of guilt. But knowing what it feels like to be hurt is exactly why we try to be kind to others. That's what makes us human.
 * [In a letter] Tsunade, a person grows up when he's able to overcome hardships. Protection is important, but there are some things that a person must learn on his own.
 * [reflecting on his life] A tale is only as good as its final events, the plot twist. And mistakes are an important part of the plot too! I lived my life believing my lessons are what honed me. In return... I swore to accomplish a deed so great it would obliterate all my past failures... and die a splendid shinobi!
 * [to younger Kakashi] You know, people should talk to others everyday even if its a small talk otherwise their hearts will grow dark and serious. Talking to others builds bonds, and makes you feel grateful that you're alive. That's the kind of creatures we humans are.
 * [Jiraiya - most powerful ninja] Jiraiya's life as a wanderer did not him, one of Konoha's most powerful ninja. Even when he had nothing to rely on, he still maintained his good spirit and reliability. He was responsible for bringing back Tsunade, which one day would became the fifth Hokage. He sacrificed everything to protect his village & Naruto, his protégée.

Jugo

 * You're being reckless, Suigetsu.
 * Someone’s here… boy or girl? A guy… if it’s a guy, I’ll kill him. Jackpot! You’re dead!
 * Kill… I wanna kill… someone… anyone…
 * Kimimaro said Sasuke was like his reincarnation... and sacrificed himself to protect him. [to Sasuke] I want to see what kind of shinobi you really are.
 * [To Sasuke] I can't let you die. You're all I have left to remember Kimimaro.

Kabuto Yakushi

 * All I fell prey to was Lord Orochimaru’s magnificent way of thinking.
 * You should know what it's like, Naruto, the pain of not having a true identity. Are you Naruto Uzumaki, or the Nine-tails? Had you ever wondered "What am I? Who am I?" when others stared at you with cold, hate-filled eyes?
 * With Lord Orochimaru now integrated into this body, I plan on finding a new me. One stronger than Lord Orochimaru himself!
 * Not having things in proper order annoys me to no end...
 * [To Sasuke] Which one... are you?
 * [To Sasuke] As always, you forget to mind your mouth in front of Lord Orochimaru...
 * [To Naruto] But you.. You chose to believe in your own power. That you are Naruto Uzumaki. With great persistence, you overcame the gazes directed at the Nine-Tails, and that's why you came to know your identity, gaining friends along with that realization.
 * Lord Orochimaru immediately tried to acquire that power... but... he didn't yet possess a body that could tolerate it... That's why he couldn't become the Sage that I have become!
 * [To Sakura] I can't believe you'd go this far, becoming that just to save Sasuke.
 * Now the boy's gone, and only the monster remains. What a pitiful brat.
 * [To Itachi and Sasuke] As I recall, you brothers hated each other...And now you plan to fight me side by side...Interesting!
 * [To Itachi and Sasuke] Go on! Tremble before my power! The power of a Sage!
 * [To Itachi after commenting his serpentine Sage Mode] Snake? I am no longer a snake. With these perfect Sage powers, I've shed my snake skin... and become a dragon!
 * I have every ability there is! No one can touch me! Your fate was already in my hands.
 * [To Itachi] My name is a code... My glasses are a tool... I've been no one... from the start. From the very start... I had nothing.
 * [To Itachi] A genius that had everything will never understand... I just want to become myself.

Kakashi Hatake

 * Hey! My bad, my bad! Actually, on my way here, I saw an old woman who needed help...
 * Back then, we had Sasuke with us... [Naruto and Sakura each go through a flashback of before Sasuke left Konoha, then fall to the ground in sadness.] [Kakashi sweatdrops] Sasuke's name is a taboo among these two.
 * My, you guys have certainly become stronger.
 * [Holds up the bells he used during Team 7's first practice mission] Well, I'm going to see how much you two have improved. You haven't given up on Sasuke, right?
 * You've matured, Naruto. But... it looks like you're as impatient as ever. I haven't even said start yet.
 * What insane strength. The Fifth has been teaching Sakura more than just medical ninjutsu...
 * Naruto has a mysterious power... even without saying much he can become friends with anyone quickly.
 * ...Can't say I'm used to hearing you whine...this isn't like you at all. What happened to the Naruto Uzumaki I used to know?
 * [to Naruto] You're the only shinobi able to surpass the Yondaime Hokage. That's what I believe.
 * [to Kakuzu] You got matched with the wrong guy. Now it ends!
 * The next generation will always surpass the previous one. It’s one of the neverending cycles in life.
 * [to Naruto] The bigger the jutsu, the bigger the risk it places on the user. Keep that in mind.
 * [On leaving Naruto behind to help Shikamaru] What do you mean... I'm not of any use any more as far as he's concerned.
 * While I'd like to act cool and say, "You go on ahead", I won't be able to hold him off by myself.
 * [After Pain asks where Naruto is] That's a stupid question.
 * [After barely dodging Naruto's 'A Thousand Years of Death'] That would have been the end for me, it more ways than one.
 * [On Naruto] Jutsu that were beyond the Fourth Hokage are well within his command. I guess it's time to pass the torch... he has surpassed me.
 * [Thinking] Can you sense it? You are always before his eyes... inspiring him. You make him strong, you do know that... don't you, Sasuke?
 * [About Naruto and Sakura] I miss the cute students who'd react to every little thing I say.
 * [On Kankuro] Making a success from a failure.. You are indeed a shinobi of the sand.
 * [When trapped in before Pain] You can cry later, Choji. If you can still move...tell Tsunade...about Pain's powers. You have to figure out a way to fight him. Save your surprise for later. You have to tell her about Pain. Run! Don't let Choza's sacrifice have been for nothing!
 * With my current chakra level, his whole body is out of the question. And if I use Kamui again, that'll be the last of my stamina and my chakra, and without a doubt...I'll die! But right now, I have to entrust the living with this info. That's the best thing I can do right now to save Konoha!
 * Obito...looks like this is as long as I'll be able to be your eyes. I wasn't able to protect Rin. I broke my promise to you...forgive me. Obito...Rin...Sensei...I'll..be there soon.
 * [To Sasuke at Kage Summit Bridge] Sasuke...there's more to you than just your clan...more than just hatred. Take another look...deep inside your heart.
 * [When faced with the prospect of having to kill Sasuke] No matter how far Orochimaru fell, he still loved him... Now I know how the Third Hokage felt.
 * I also have important things that I want to protect, as a shinobi.
 * Look. It takes a lot to get me worked up, but this time my boiling point is as low as it's ever been. The Copy Ninja Kakashi, the man who copied one thousand techniques, is about to go on a rampage!
 * [When Naruto and Sasuke were struggling to get the tailed beasts out of Obito] Even if it's someone they used to make fun of, when people see someone trying twice as hard as others they instinctively start wanting to lend a hand, that's because people eventually learn that they only have each other to fill the holes in their hearts.

Kakuzu

 * The only thing you can count on is money.
 * [To Hidan] I paired with you because you said that religion would be a good source of money… I have to manage Akatsuki’s finances, why don’t you try wearing my shoes for a moment?
 * Another 35 million of ryo. Excellent.
 * Even in Hell, money takes precedence.
 * It was over the moment you thought you had my abilities figured out. See, unlike my partner, I actually think. Even if you analyze every aspect of the battle, things don't always go as you plan.
 * There is just too much of a difference in battle experience between you and me. Looking at your forehead protector reminds me of the very first Konoha shinobi I fought... Shodai Hokage, that is!
 * Kakashi... I'm going to replace the heart you took out with yours!
 * [To Shikamaru] You're pretty clever, unlike this idiot of a partner...

Kankuro

 * (An elder talks down on Gaara) Say that to my face! I dare you!
 * Gaara will never harm the villagers. No matter what.
 * It doesn't matter whether you're a Chunin or not.
 * Elder Chiyo used that technique...
 * Sasori. Your strength came because of your soul, not in spite of it. You tried to erase it, to become a puppet yourself, but you couldn't change completely. I know this because you put your heart and soul into the puppets you created. That's the part of them that never decays. Now you've got your immortal body, but you've fallen, sunk to the level of the puppets you used to control. You were supposed to be a top-class ninja puppeteer, not a worthless nobody who lets someone else pull the strings!

Karin

 * I sense a whole lot of Chakra nearby!
 * [To Suigetsu] What the hell are you, a kappa? Get up off your ass and stop drinking all that water!
 * [Thinking] Yes! I finally have Sasuke all to myself!
 * Come on! Bite me, Sasuke! Hurry!
 * [In thought, as Sasuke was about to kill her] I wish I could see your face again as it was Sasuke...
 * [Talking about Naruto] He's... like the exact opposite of Sasuke. Even his chakra... it's warm and bright.

Kiba Inuzuka

 * You've really grown, Naruto.
 * My nose has become stronger than any ninja hound's.
 * [on the mission to retrieve Sasuke] You weren't with us last time, Shino! You'd better work twice as hard!
 * You can't hide from my nose, loser!
 * [Talking about Naruto] You still shouldn't have just let him get away. You're already a legend for defeating Pain. Sasuke should be no problem.
 * [In his mind while running to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto...I marked you a long, long time ago...as my rival! Take care of Madara 'till I get there!

Killer Bee

 * The sun’s killer on my eyes. Is it noon already? Goddamn it!
 * [To Sasuke] I’m in a good mood. I was just able to write an awesome rhyme, thank you.
 * Now you’re gonna feel my hooks.
 * I float… like a butterfly. And sting like a bee! ‘Cause I’m the Eight-tailed Beast.
 * In order to break the illusion, I need a partner who can disturb my chakra and snap me out of it. My partner is the beast inside me. Illusions won’t work on a host who can control their beast.
 * When I transform into my true form, a beast you must meet, yeah. Cower before the power of the beast.
 * The only one who gets to interrupt me is me.
 * [Rapping about a chakra sensor] Yeah, I saw it! Not two, not triple. And that freak put it right above her ni- [Whacked by Hachibi]

Kisame Hoshigaki

 * [Speaking to Itachi, who is standing in the rain looking at the sky] Look, I'm not sure what you're thinking, and given how ruthless you are, it's strange to say this... But from here, it looks like you're crying.
 * [mistakenly believing that Sasuke is dead] It's certainly a shame about your little brother. You're now the sole member of the Uchiha clan.
 * [to Gai] You really have a talent of getting on people's nerves. I suppose I'll toy with you until you remember.
 * I take back what I said. You have the brain of an insect, not a beast.
 * The ability to turn a gloomy organization cheerful, Tobi was a skilled man at that.
 * Sasuke, if you would please continue on by yourself... Itachi would prefer that the rest of us stay here.
 * I will enjoy shaving a few layers off you.
 * I knew that from the first time I had to kill my comrades...kill a Kirigakure ninja as a Kirigakure ninja. What does that make me? Am I a friend or foe? What is my purpose and my position? Where do I go? Where can I go? I'm well aware that my whole life has been one giant lie.
 * [To Itachi]] Sharks start out as eggs, but incubate and hatch in the womb. Sometimes, the number of pups is less than the number of eggs that were fertilised. Do you know why? Cannibalism. The pups start eating each other within the mother's womb the moment they hatch. They start killing their siblings the moment they enter the world, viewing everything they see as nothing more than prey. As of today, you and I are fellow members of Akatsuki. So be careful...of me.
 * Itachi. It seems in the end...I'm not so terrible after all.

Konan

 * [To Jiraiya] That time, you should have listened to what Orochimaru said, but you saved us instead. Now, it's too late, as we have embraced his ideals.
 * [after hearing of Naruto's strength] Spare us your words of fear and warning. They are wasted on us. Pain has never yet lost a battle.
 * The sky cries again… Pain… you…
 * [To Jiraiya] I must kill you. That is the will of god.
 * If you kill Nagato and get your revenge, that won't change anything. It'll only make you feel better.
 * [On Naruto] Such a strange child, to have changed Nagato completely.
 * You try to find meaning in death.. But there's only pain and hatred that you don't know what to do with it.
 * [To Yahiko and Nagato] Yahiko and Nagato, I will be the support that holds both our bridges up.
 * [To Naruto] Nagato believed in you, so I believe in you, too.
 * [To Naruto] This time, I hope for you that these will be the flowers of hope that will never die.
 * [To Madara] I knew you'd come and find me eventually. I've been waiting for my chance to destroy you.
 * [On Naruto] He is light personified. That's why everyone he meets carries the flower called hope!
 * [To Tobi] One question, Madara; do you understand why we betrayed you? Because you are darkness, a world without light where flowers can only wither and die!
 * [To Tobi] Yahiko and Nagato's will hasn't vanished from this world! I believe in Naruto too! He will become the bridge that leads us to peace, and I will be a support holding the bridge up!

Konohamaru Sarutobi

 * I'm going to be the Seventh Hokage in the future!
 * (Tsunade enters, expecting Team Gai) All right! An "S" Rank Mission!
 * (While crying at Asuma's funeral and Naruto calming him) Uncle Asuma!
 * I am a Genin of the Sarutobi clan, named after this village! I am Konohamaru Sarutobi, and don't you forget it!

Kushina Uzumaki

 * [Pregnant with Naruto] Naruto...It's a beautiful name.
 * [To Naruto] I...I was the Nine-Tailed Fox's previous Jinchuuriki.
 * [About Naruto and Sasuke during her flashback] Naruto and Sasuke will be in the same academy together, right? I hope they will become friends!
 * I can still...do it...Minato [uses Chakra Chains to restrain Nine-Tails]
 * [To Minato before sacrificing herself] Minato...don't be so sad...I'm happy...you loved me...and...today...is Naruto's birthday. Most of all...if I were to imagine myself alive, and our future as a family of three...I can't see us being anything but happy...and if I were allowed...just one regret...I wish that I could have seen Naruto grow up...
 * [To Minato about sealing baby Naruto] He's our son. Which is exactly why, I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden! Why?..Why the Reaper Death Seal?! There's no need for you to die...just so I can meet the grown-up Naruto in a short amount of time...! I rather for you to have stayed with Naruto and watched him grow up! So why does Naruto have to be sacrificed...for the Biju balance, for the country, and for the village...?! Why do you have to sacrifice yourself for my sake?!
 * [Words of advice to baby Naruto] Naruto...don't be a picky eater, eat alot and grow big and strong! Take your bath everyday...go to bed early and sleep well. Study hard on your Ninjutsu...I was never very good at it...maybe you will...everyone is good at some things and not so good at others...and if things don't go so well...don't get so depressed. At the academy, listen to your teachers. Make friends! It doesn't matter how many...just make sure that they're people you can really trust....and a few is enough! Regarding the Three Prohibitions of the shinobi, be careful when you loan and borrow money, make sure to save your missions pay carefully, and no drinking alcohol until your 20...too much sake is harmful for your body. As for girls...well...I'm a girl so I don't really know what to say...but sooner or later, you'll want a girlfriend and that's normal...just...don't fall for a strange one...try to find someone...like me. Oh...one more thing...watch out for Jiraiya-sensei...you know!
 * [Final words to baby Naruto] Naruto...there's going to be hard and painful times ahead...take good care of yourself...! Find a goal...a dream...and don't stop trying until it comes true! [Crying] There's...there's...there's so much more I want to tell you...to teach you...I want to stay with you longer...I love you.
 * [To Naruto, before disappearing in the light] Naruto...thank you for letting me be you mother...and Minato for being your father...thank you...for being born to us!
 * [To the Nine tails during the beast's flashback] Neither of us has any luck, do we? You keep the world at bay...but I keep you at bay.

Madara Uchiha

 * [to Kurama] Nine-Tails, you are merely a momentary life, a temporary existence of coalesced energy... energy that once part of single, ultimate form! An unstable force, lacking in intelligence or sapience, you require one to give you purpose. This one of the Uchiha! The tailed beasts are but slaves to those with blessed eyes. Now obey!
 * [to Obito] Know this, where there is light in this world, there is also shadow. As long as there are victors, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of desiring peace causes wars and hatred is born from protecting love.
 * [To Obito] I taught you that in order to control people, you need to use the darkness in their hearts. And if there's no darkness, then you just create it.
 * Hashirama... Where... did I go wrong?
 * [last words to Hashirama] As war buddies, eh? Well then...I suppose that...would be...okay. Bye.

Manda

 * [last words, to Sasuke] I... You used... Me... You... Brat... Those eyes... With those eyes... I... was manipulated... How dare you... how dare you...

Might Guy

 * One thing's for sure... (referring to Kisame clone) I have no clue who he was...
 * [fighting his double] As expected of myself...
 * Oh, I'm just fine! I'm a really fast healer! Hahahah-- [hits his head on a tree branch]
 * [after Guy and Lee race back to Konoha] "My dear Lee, you did not come in second place, you came in third. I was carrying Kakashi so he came in second... you are a pretty lucky guy, Kakashi."
 * He was a worthy opponent, a man who lived and died like a real shinobi. Kisame Hoshigaki. I'll remember that name for the rest of my life.

Minato Namikaze

 * Each chapter really seems like a page out of your own life, sensei. It almost reads like an autobiography.
 * We want to raise our child to be a shinobi like the one in your book! That's why we've decided to name him after the main character in your book.
 * You're a man of true skill... An example we should all follow. I can't think of a finer shinobi than you.
 * The way the protagonist refused to give up, even at the end... that was really cool. He's just like you, sensei.
 * [Appearing in Naruto's mind after release of the 8th Tail] I prayed I'd never see your face again, demon fox. But even in these circumstances, meeting my grown-up son is something of a pleasure. We'll call it even.
 * [To the Nine-Tailed fox] Saying your going to rip me to shreds isn't going to make me come closer to you.
 * Trying to save the things we love breeds war. As long as love exists, there will be hatred, and ninjas will be continue being used by that hatred.  As long as the ninja system exists, the hatred will create another creature like Pain.
 * To be a ninja is to confront hatred.
 * I have faith in you, Naruto.
 * [To Kushina about sealing Baby Naruto] Turning your back on the village and the country... is just as bad as abandoning a child. Kushina... you should understand... you saw your own country fall apart. You know the pain of growing up without a home of your own... and you know that we are a family... of Shinobi! Besides, even if I lived... I could never substitute for you. There are things Naruto needs to be told, things that I could never say myself. That's the mother's job to carry it out... even if you have the shortest amount of time to do so. I'm not doing this just for you... I'm doing this for Naruto. Dying to make his child have a better life... that's the father's job.
 * [Final words to baby Naruto] Naruto... This is your dad. [Smiling] listen to your nagging mother.
 * Oh, that’s right. There is something I have the meaning to tell you... Happy birthday, Naruto. You’ve really become a splendid ninja. You know that?
 * We were in existence outside of the rules. So we can’t just remain in this world forever. This is goodbye. I promise you that I’ll tell Kushina everything.
 * [Final words to Naruto before ascending] Don’t you worry. I’ll make sure that I’ll tell her about everything.

Naruto Uzumaki

 * This takes me back! This place hasn't changed a bit! I'm home, everyone! Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the Hidden Leaf Village!
 * Believe it!
 * Shadow Clone Jutsu!
 * Rasengan!
 * Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!
 * Are you kidding? No way! You haven't changed at all!
 * [to Konohamaru about the sexy jutsu] Konohamaru, I'm not that scrawny little kid anymore. And you shouldn't be using jutsu like that either. It's beneath you. [Sakura starts thinking he has grown up] That jutsu is too weak, Konohamaru! Behold! The new Harem Jutsu I've been developing!
 * Pervy Sage was merciless! He worked me so hard, the forehead protector you gave me fell apart. And all my clothes got so ratty, I had to get a new outfit.
 * I CAN'T TAKE THIS! I know why they're after Gaara and me. Sakura, you know why, too, don't you? There's no need to hide it... The Nine Tails is sealed inside of me. [Clutches heart] Gaara and I are the same... We both have monsters locked inside us. That's what those guys are after. I... HATE IT! They just see us as monsters! As means to an end! He was just like I was and he fought all on his own a lot longer than I did. He's been targeted by the Akatsuki! We're the same, again! And despite that... Why does everything bad always have to happen to him?! It's always him! That's why... That's why I can't waste a second! This time, I want to save him as fast as I can!
 * [yelling at Chiyo] If you Sand Shinobi hadn't put that monster in him, none of this would be happening! You have no idea what kind of pain he went through... The suffering and torment he experienced. You have no right to judge us... To brand us and think you're better.
 * Hmm... Let's see now... Who would be good? I've got to think about this very carefully because after all, I wouldn't wanna choose someone who would end up slowing the team down, that'd be terrible. But, on the other hand, it's gotta be someone that we really get along with, otherwise, we can kiss our teamwork goodbye. Either way, Sakura gets goofing around boys, I've gotta be sure the guy's not too good-looking. This is trickier than I thought it'd be.
 * [losing control of the Nine Tails] You give Sasuke back...! You give him back...!
 * [before slowly becoming berserk] You don't own him...! Sasuke doesn't belong to you...! Don't you talk about Sasuke, like you own him...! (growling) ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF ME, YOU ROTTEN BASTARD!
 * Where are you? Where are you? Sasuke!
 * If so, then why...? Why didn't you kill me that day?! Aren’t you gonna break our bond?! Sasuke?!
 * How could I ever become Hokage even if I can't save one friend? Isn't that right, Sasuke?
 * [To Sai] That's it! I will never accept you; Not as a friend, not as a comrade, and not as a member of Team Seven!
 * I couldn't save Sasuke... I couldn't save Gaara... I've trained for three years and nothing's changed!
 * [To Sai] Haven't you ever heard of the word "Friend?"
 * [To Orochimaru] In my presence, don't you dare talk of Sasuke as though he belongs to you!
 * Everything here is so nostalgic. Hm? [Looks at the mountain encarved with the faces of the Hokages] They added Granny Tsunade's old mug to the mountain!
 * [To Sai about Sakura] She loves Sasuke so much.
 * Fights aren't decided ‘til the very end, and we're just getting started!
 * Just how long does Kakashi-sensei plan on making us wait?!
 * You aren't going to fight while reading a book this time, Kakashi-sensei?
 * Well, it's nothing.
 * That Jinchuriki you're looking for is me.
 * I don't believe you.
 * [To Itachi] Sasuke is like a brother to me... More of one than you ever were to him!
 * [Seeing Deidara sitting on dead Gaara] YOU! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!
 * I meant "wind" is the only thing that can keep a "fire" from dying away and turn it into an even bigger power.
 * [On attacking Kakuzu with his new technique] It's true that teamwork is important...and I know that, but I want to cross this dangerous bridge myself. If I can't get to the other side, I'll stay a kid forever. [Sasuke's face appears in his mind] Please don't take that bridge away.
 * [Attacks Tobi] Get out of our way!
 * [Threatening Deidara after Gaara's death] I'll kick the crud out of you!
 * Way back, I used to hate Sasuke... But once I got used to being with him I realized he's really a lot of fun... to be around...he's the person that, more than anyone else accepted me and my existence. Sasuke is my friend... and he represents bonds that I waited so long to receive, so that's why...
 * It doesn't matter how strong my opponent is. If he tears off my arms, I'll just kick him dead. If he tears off my legs, I'll bite him dead. If he tears off my head, I'll stare him dead. If he gouges out my eyes, then I'll curse him dead! Even if I get chopped into pieces, I'm gonna beat Orochimaru and take my friend, Sasuke, back once and for all!
 * [To Zetsu] YO, ALOE VERA! WHERE'S SASUKE!?
 * [To Tsunade] If Jiraiya was the Hokage instead of you, he never would have gone on this mission.
 * I won't bend my words. That's what being a ninja means to me.
 * [To Tsunade] There's no need for Hidden Leaf's Hokage to deal with the likes of these guys. You just go enjoy a nice cup of tea or something...
 * If my arms get ripped off, I'll just kick him to death! If my legs get ripped off, I'll just bite him to death! If my head gets ripped off, I'll just stare him to death! If my eyes get ripped off, I'll just curse him to death! And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him from beyond the grave!
 * [To Pain] Peace? Justice? Screw you! You're insane! What about my master?! My Sensei! My friends! My home?! After everything you've done, you still act like it's for peace?
 * [To Pain] You give up! Just give up on trying to make me give up!
 * [To Nagato] I came here to talk to you, but there was something else I wanted to find out too. I wanted to see how I would feel...I didn't know how I would really feel...if I saw you right in front of me. And I can't forgive you! I want to kill you so much, I'm trembling!
 * [To Nagato] I'll win us peace! I won't give up until the very end!
 * [To the Raikage] I'm begging you. I don't want anyone else getting killed for revenge. All Sasuke ever thought about was revenge! It consumed him and changed him! He was driven mad by revenge! He's not the same guy I knew anymore! I don't want that to happen to anyone else! I don't want the Hidden Leaf and Cloud killing each other!
 * [To Sakura] Quit it! Just stop, Sakura! This joke of yours isn't funny at all!
 * [To Sakura] Just stop! I hate people who lie to themselves, so just stop it!
 * [To Itachi] Itachi... Thank you for trusting me. You don't have to worry anymore... You've done more than enough for the village already! Leave the rest to me!
 * [To Tobi] Even if you think that this world is worthless, do you seriously think that you can get away with starting a war like this, and then just come along and try to play that you're nobody?! You're pissing me off!! I'm gonna tear that mask right off your face!!
 * Things are changing, alright. I just remembered a whole bunch of difficult names at once!
 * [To Sakura, in Road to Ninja] Hold on. You're enjoying this whole situation, aren't you?
 * [To Sakura, in Road to Ninja] Oh, not at all?
 * [To Sakura, in Road to Ninja] So you've completely forgotten everything? Sakura, this entire place is a fake world that Madara sent us to! We're trapped here!
 * [yelling at Sakura, in Road to Ninja] THE POINT IS THAT I'M NOT STAYING! (mumbling) Staying in this dumb world...!
 * [To Sakura, in Road to Ninja] To gather more intel, of course! I'm not just gonna hang around here doing nothing!
 * [in Road to Ninja, stubborn] Will you stop touching me?
 * [To Sakura, in Road to Ninja] What?! I'm not really Menma, remember?
 * [To Sasuke] If you attack the Hidden Leaf, I'll have no choice; I will fight you, don't doubt that... Until that day, save your hatred. Then you can throw all of it right at me. I'm the only one who can handle all that hate! Do you understand? I'm the only one who can fulfill that duty, so I'll bear the burden of your hatred, and I'll die with you! Because you're my friend!
 * [To Sasuke] Tell me... Do you know my thoughts... can you tell what it is in my heart? You saw it, didn't you? Sasuke, if you and I fight each other... we both... will die.
 * [To his dark self] Maybe. The villagers are important, but there's someone else that I have to trust more first. What I need to do right now is believe in myself. I need to trust the me that all the villagers believe in.
 * [To Kushina] I always wanted to meet you... MOM!
 * [To Kushina] Don't apologize... I had a lot of hard times growing up as a jinchūriki, but I never blamed you or dad. I couldn't understand what a parent's love was like because you guys were never there... so I could only guess... But now I know... I live because you and dad gave your lives for me and filled me up with love before the Nine-Tails was inside me! So here I am, happy and healthy! I'm glad I ended up being your son!
 * [Explaining what it means to connect heart-to-heart] Huh?! W-well, my feelings are understood by someone else. And that person's feelings reach me as well.
 * [To Obito] Quit it with your stupid reasoning! I meant to say that I'll stand any pain for my friends!! I'm not gonna give up on them!! It might just be me being selfish, but... not having my friends here... is the most painful thing for me!! Period!!!!
 * Kids look up to their heroes, so I'm gonna keep charging ahead without losing my way!
 * And I will become the greatest Hokage of them all! That's my dream and I won't give up on it, you fool!
 * I know how much my friends mean to me. That's why I want to protect them. That's all.
 * Team 7 is finally back in action once again!
 * [After seeing Sakura's immense strength] I've gotta stop acting stupid in front of Sakura. I'm gonna get killed!
 * [to Six Paths Madara] You idiot... I'm not gonna defeat you... but I'm gonna stop you!
 * This Sexy Style Jutsu tends to work better, the stronger the opponent!
 * If you're a mother of Chakra or not, I'm sure you've never seen this jutsu like that before!
 * This is what the history of ninjas is, you idiot!
 * Six Paths: Planetary Devastation!
 * [To Black Zetsu] Shinobi history is made up of all sorts of Ninja's lives, and death's too. Many of them taught me what it means to be a shinobi. The pain of sadness and death, the tragedy of war. And not only that, they taught me the joy of being accepted and being loved. The way they lived and the way they died, they made me who I am today. They taught me and they trusted in me. You're a brat who can't even fly from the nest! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET OVER YOURSELF!!
 * You guys!
 * Sealing complete! And now it's happily ever after! The end!
 * Hey! Guys! Were you lonely being separated from me like that?! I sure did miss you!
 * [starts to cry] Anyway, not everything that Mom told me about that well, but I always tried to do the very best than I could, you know! I've got dreams, too! I'm gonna be an even greater Hokage than you, Dad! I swear I will! Tell Mom when you see her over there that she doesn't have to worry about me even a bit! Tell her I'm doing my best! [crying]
 * Mine hasn't. But from that point on, my wish has always been to protect my friends.
 * [To Sasuke, before the final battle] I knew they'd be here. This sure brings back memories, Sasuke.
 * [To Sasuke] I won't let you land any punches like you did last time. And I won't hand the title of Hokage to you either. You don't understand what it means to be the Hokage.
 * [To Sasuke, during the final battle] We've taken a lot of responsibilities upon our shoulders. But you see, I actually do want to fight against you. And I want to win fair and square. Although not against the current you! But you already know that, don't you, Sasuke?!
 * [To Sasuke, in Naruto: Shippūden - Ultimate Ninja Storm 4] Not yet... I'm not letting you leave just yet, Sasuke!
 * [To Sasuke, in Naruto: Shippūden - Ultimate Ninja Storm 4] Your friend! I told you, I cannot leave you alone, remember?
 * [To Sasuke, in Naruto: Shippūden - Ultimate Ninja Storm 4] And I told you I have no intention of giving up! It doesn't matter what you say to me, I will never change my mind. I'm just going to keep reaching out my hand to you. Until the very end. Until I reach you!
 * [To Sasuke, in Naruto: Shippūden - Ultimate Ninja Storm 4] I won't give up on you! In order to keep my path connected...
 * Everything feels strange, so... Yeah, that must be what happened. Well... probably.
 * No, you're completely wrong! Damn it! You don’t get it, do you?!
 * Sorry, Granny Tsunade. I know that I promised I wouldn't die until... I became Hokage.
 * [flabbergasted] OH NO! THE INFINITE TSUKUYOMI! THIS IS BAD! THE RELEASE JUTSU CAN'T BE ACTIVATED WITHOUT US BEING THERE, RIGHT?!
 * YEAH, OF COURSE! WE CAN'T LEAVE THINGS LIKE THAT!
 * I sure hope so.
 * [To Sasuke, after the final battle] You've finally come to, huh? As you can see, if either of us moves too much, we'll bleed out and die.
 * [To Sasuke] You asked me to explain it, but honestly, it's not like I really understand it either. It's just... when I see you... take on stuff and get all messed up, it... kinda... well, hurts me. It hurts... so much... inside that I can't just leave you alone, you know? Although right now, I'm in a ton of pain everywhere, inside and out.
 * Back then, I... I always knew that you were alone, too. All I really wanted to do was to come up to you and start talking... I got so giddy, but... I never did. Because I was jealous, you were so good. At everything. So I decided to make you my rival. And from that day on, you've been my goal. At the beginning, I had nothing but I built bonds. I wanted to be strong like you, cool like you, I guess that's why I kept chasing after you.
 * [multiple flashbacks] And my future dream is: To be the greatest Hokage!! Then the village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody. Somebody important! To be Hokage, you have to be the greatest of all the Leaf. You have to prove yourself so everyone believes in you. So you better make sure that you're ready. There's no easy way to becoming a Hokage! Don't underestimate me! I don't quit and I don't run! Well, all right! I don't care if I do get stuck as a Genin for the rest of my life! I'll still be Hokage someday! And I don't go back on my word! That's my Nindo – my Ninja Way! It's because unlike you, that's my dream! Just watch someday, I'll be Hokage! To be Hokage, that is my dream! Until the day I became Hokage, whatever happens, there's no way I'm gonna die! And I will become the greatest Hokage of them all! That's my dream and I won't give up on it, you fool! The Hokage is the person who walks in front of everyone and bears all the pain! He'll never have to walk over the corpses of his allies! How could I ever be Hokage if I can't even save one friend? Isn't that right, Sasuke?
 * [wakes up] Where are we? Hold on. Don’t tell me it's really Heaven this time?
 * [yelling at Sasuke] IDIOT! DON'T YOU GET IT?! THIS FIGHT ISN'T ABOUT WINNING OR LOSING AT ALL! IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT PUNCHING A SULKING FRIEND TO MAKE HIM SNAP OUT OF IT, AND THE REAL MATCH THAT I WANT COMES AFTER DOING THAT!
 * No way. Your dying isn't going to settle things, if you're willing to die, then live and help me instead! What I want to do is... get all the shinobis to cooperate, and that definitely includes you!
 * Look, don't make me repeat myself! Come on, are you seriously not getting it now? Come to think of it, you were always pretty dense!
 * That's great, Sakura. Thank you.
 * [To Sasuke, keeping the forehead protector] I'm giving it back.
 * [Naruto's message to Sasuke] Sasuke, I know you may not be back in the village right now, but you're still protecting it. You're just like a one-man police force.

Neji Hyuga

 * [About Guy] He recovers so fast, it's kind of annoying.
 * That's baggy.
 * I never once thought of becoming a Jonin as my final goal!
 * [repeating Team Guy's goal] Stronger than I was yesterday!
 * [When Lee asks Neji to hop on his back to train] Oh, hell no!
 * [After being picked up by Lee] Lee, what on earth are you doing? Put me down this instant!
 * Aim ever higher... That's the destiny of the Hyuga.
 * [To Naruto] Naruto... sometimes your eyes are even better than mine.
 * "The words you said to me once freed me from the shackles of my curse..."
 * "Because... I was called a genius..."
 * "Finally... I understand the freedom of being able to choose your own death."

Kaguya Otsutsuki

 * (To Madara as a voice in his head) The time when all shall become one has come.
 * (To Team 7 before being them to her personal dimension): This place...this world is my precious nursery. I cannot allow you to damage it anymore.
 * (To Naruto and Sasuke while reminiscing about her sons): I truly detest both of you. Hagoromo...Hamura...my two children...YOU ARE NOW MINE.
 * (Her final words) To think that I... would be defeated by pieces of my own chakra... again! WHY?!

Kurama

 * (to Naruto) Naruto. Let's show them our power.
 * (to Naruto) Why are you hesitating? You need my power, right? Well, who do you want to kill?
 * [to Sasuke] With that vision of yours, and chakra more ominous than my own...You're the spitting image of Madara Uchiha from the Elder days.
 * [to Sasuke] I'll be gone soon. But I'll say this, even if it is my undoing. Whatever your plans are, do not destroy Naruto. If you do... you'll regret it...
 * (to Naruto) Destroy everything... Erase everything that hurts you... Entrust your heart to me... I will save you from your suffering.
 * (to Naruto) You don't have what it takes to control my power! You're nothing more than a mere fragment of my hatred!
 * (About Naruto reaching the other Tailed Beasts) "Naruto... If you really want to do something for us... then do what you've always done... Prove it to us with your actions! That's who you are!
 * (To Tobi through Naruto): Sorry but... this guy doesn't suit your words. The Fourth Hokage entrusted me to Naruto... We became friends and now he's able to use my chakra! The Fourth sealed me into Naruto... to take you down!

Orochimaru

 * [To Naruto] Let's see which of you has become stronger? You... Or Sasuke?
 * [To Naruto in his Four-Tailed state] How are you going to fight me now, with that huge mass of chakra restricting your movements?
 * My, my, what an amusing conversation. You wouldn’t mind if I were to join in myself, would you?
 * My oh my… you sure have become quite the Jinchuuriki, Naruto...
 * [To Yamato] I should think Konoha would be a bit more appreciative… wouldn’t you agree, dearest guinea pig of mine?
 * This body’s indeed showing an adverse reaction… it really is a shame, but playtime’s over.
 * [To Sai] When addressing your elders, etiquette requires you show yourself properly.
 * They (Konoha children) all died in a storm of thrashing and spasming. Just as I was preparing to clean up the mess and record my findings, someone stumbled upon one of my other experiments, and I was forced to leave the village. That, of course, meant my labs had to be abandoned. I assumed all sixty children were dead. I had no idea one actually survived!
 * What’s this chakra type… I haven’t seen an elementally recomposed type like this before!
 * [Referring to Sasuke] People used to call me a genius, but at that age, even I was nothing compared to him.
 * [In a flashback] All these children orphaned by the war have nothing but pain and suffering waiting for them. It’d be much more merciful to just kill them now.

Pain/Nagato

 * [To Akatsuki] We're both of the same breed, after all... motives for war are of no concern. Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just "because." No matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start war. War will never cease to exist, reasons can be thought up after the fact. Human nature pursues strife.
 * (To Hidan after his comment about Konaha being heathens) Konoha is not godless. They place their previous generation as gods and act with the "Will of Fire" as their driving ideology. Although, you could say that such things are justification for one to fight.
 * Countries have scaled back the villages, and many shinobi have lost their place of being. Shinobi exist for battle... yet this peace is the "reward" they receive for putting their lives on the line for their country.
 * Someone has disturbed my rain's fall... And judging by their chakra, it's someone dangerous.
 * Too many people have died here… their pain is what helped me grow up.
 * [To Jiraiya] Even the most ignorant, innocent child will eventually grow up as they learn what true pain is. It affects what they say, what they think… and they become real people.
 * [To Jiraiya] Sensei, you’re still just a normal person… but I, living in the centre of an infinite universe of Pain, have grown from a person, into something more. I’ve grown from a person… into a GOD.
 * I’m going to put an end to this pathetic world and its endless wars. It will be an act of a god.
 * Our world is still in its infancy… but the hand of god has come to guide it down the path to maturity.
 * Everything is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power.
 * Pain... that's a name to refer to all six of us.
 * You can still see Yahiko within me? How funny... I suppose that only his teacher would recognize what's left of him. But make no mistake: Yahiko is dead. The man standing before you is Pain, and no one else
 * (referring to Jiraiya, after defeating him) If it hadn't been for our secret we would have never won... I can give you no higher praise than that, my former teacher.
 * (upon slaughtering several Leaf Village guards on the outskirts of town) This is nothing... Compared to the pain the world will suffer.
 * [To Iruka] Where is the Nine-Tailed Fox's host...?  Spit it out.  If you don't, I'll kill you.
 * [To Tsunade] You think you're the only ones who matter. You think you can put off death. But that peace, are you foolish and thoughtless. If you kill someone, someone else will kill you... this is the hatred that binds us together. I want you to feel pain, to think about pain, to accept pain, to know pain. Those who do not know true pain can never know true peace!
 * ...I will give the world more pain.
 * You Leaf Ninja aren't the only ones allowed to speak of harmony, especially after what you did to my village and what I did to yours.
 * Through justice, I will bring peace.
 * [stabbing Hinata in front of a helpless Naruto] I believe it was like this for me... watching my parents die before my eyes as you watched Leaf shinobi die before yours. It is precisely because we love that we sacrifice... and hate.
 * [To Naruto in his Six-Tailed Fox Cloak] My pain is greater than yours.
 * War brings pain and injury and death to both sides.
 * [To Naruto] War brings death... And wounds and pain to both sides. There's nothing harder to accept than the deaths of those you love.. So you believe they could never die... Especially those who haven't known war... Like your generation.
 * There's nothing you can do. You couldn't even give me an answer. Your role is to be the sacrifice that allows me to bring peace to the world. That is the right answer.
 * You're nothing but the ghost of a chance now! Give up! [realizes Naruto is withstanding] He withstood it?! Impossible!
 * [Last words to Naruto before dying] Dying like trash... never ending hatred...pain that never heals... that is war... Naruto... this... is what you must face... The book... and you... It's like... someone set this all up... Or maybe... this is the hand of the real God... My role is over now... Naruto... you... can really-
 * "[To Naruto]" I couldn't believe in what Jiraiya believed in. Or in the man himself... but you chose a different path. In you I can see a different future... I will believe in you... Uzumaki Naruto...
 * "[To Naruto]" So...I should just wait here and wait for you to bring peace to the world?!
 * "[To Naruto]" There is no such thing as real peace! It's impossible as long as we live in this accursed world!
 * "[To Naruto]" We studied under the same master... I told you that before that we should therefore be able to understand each other. I was joking then, but... you're an odd kid... you remind me of myself when I was younger...
 * Konan... it's enough... I have a new choice... a choice I'd given up on
 * [Last words to Naruto before being sealed] The parallels between you and that book... it almost feels like someone set it all up, like it was all... the work of an actual God. Seems this is it for me... Naruto, I believe you of all people... can...

Rock Lee

 * Stronger than I was yesterday!
 * [Seeing Guy carrying Kakashi, piggy-back] I see! It's training!
 * [Seeing Guy carrying Kakashi, piggy-back, looks to Neji] Neji!
 * Sorry I'm late! Tenten was slowing me down.
 * [Seeing Sora, Naruto, Choji and Kiba fighting] A meeting where men are expressing their feelings of friendship through fist-fighting?! Why didn't anyone tell me about this?! [Joins]
 * [To Sai who was complaining about the rain while coming to aid Naruto during the war] Stop your complaining and speed it up! Now is the time for us to charge forward, and respond to the heroic efforts of Guy-Sensei and Naruto!
 * "The power of youth!"

Sakura Haruno

 * So, Naruto? Have I changed? Am I more... womanly?
 * ...Well, I'll be... it's not just the outside that's changed... I kinda missed the old Naruto, but you've turned out pretty well, haven't you?
 * On the inside, you haven't changed at all, Naruto.
 * [Talking about her training with Tsunade] Granted, I thought I was going to die, but thanks to that, I've become stronger mentally.
 * [to Naruto about Tsunade] You idiot! You've no idea how scary she is!
 * Naruto. You've met him, haven't you? Itachi Uchiha. The person Sasuke keeps saying he wants to kill... is his older brother Itachi Uchiha right?
 * [to Sasori] I have a lot of questions for you.
 * [to Sasori] I’ll get you! Even if you blow off my arms and legs, if you take in your poison and it paralyzes me, I’ll get you, I swear it! No matter how much you resist, no matter what you do! I’ll beat you half to death, and make you talk about Orochimaru!
 * Thank you, Lady Chiyo.
 * [to Sai] If you forgive Naruto, that's fine... (punches him) However, I could care less if you forgive me!
 * Usually, when you paint a good picture, you give it a name.
 * I can only do the dumbest of things for Naruto.
 * Naruto! Naruto, stop! It’s okay; I can rescue Sasuke! I’m begging you to stop this right now! Please! Naruto, please stop...!
 * It's always like this. The only things I can do for Naruto are the little things anyone could do.
 * [to Sai about his picture book] You carry that because it is the only thing left that proves you really do exist, am I not right...? You have yet to truly get rid of your emotions, despite what you say... Even for us shinobi, abandoning our emotions completely is impossible.
 * [to Ino about Sai] Don't let his boyish good looks fool you... I've met insects with more social grace than him.
 * The things that are most important aren't written in books. You have to learn them by experiencing them yourself.
 * Naruto, hurry...! Please, NARUTO!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * You’re just being reckless, you idiot!
 * [To Naruto, while hugging him] Thank you.
 * [To Sasuke when leaving the village] I may have friends and family, but... Sasuke if you were to leave, to me... to me... I would be just as alone as you are. Sasuke, I love you with all my heart! If you were to stay with me... there would be no regrets! because everyday we'd do something fun, we'd be happy, I swear! I would do anything for you! please just stay with me, I'll even help with your revenge, I don't know what I could do... but I'll try my best to do something... so please... stay with me... or take me with you if you can't stay.
 * [About Naruto and Sasuke at Kage Summit] Naruto... has finally made up his mind. My resolve... is nothing compared to his. I'm a ninja... but all I ever done is lean on Naruto and cry... [wipes away her tears] I came here because I thought I was ready... but still I hesitate. I can't do anything... I can't say anything... all I can do...is believe in them!
 * [In thought, to Naruto] Thank you Naruto... thank you so much, for everything. Thanks to you... I still haven't given up on my dream of Team 7 laughing together again.
 * [In her mind while going to kill Sasuke] Sasuke, when did I fall in love with you? Back in those days, I was just infatuated with how cool you were. Then you become my teammate on Team 7. Being teammates didn't change me. I was still hopelessly in love with the cool Sasuke. Just gazing at his handsome profile was enough for me. I never gave a thought to who he really was behind that pensive face. But the shadow that you carried, when I finally noticed it was too late. Before I knew it, Naruto had matured and was standing face to face with you. I was the one left behind. Yet I didn't change. That's why this time, I tried to catch up to the two of you, in my own way. But Sasuke is no longer the person we think he is and he's far beyond our reach. I've already decided, I'll take care of Sasuke myself.
 * [in Road to Ninja] No, I most certainly am not. I am merely playing the part of the Child of Heroes so I don't look out of place.
 * [in Road to Ninja] Well, a little. I mean, it doesn't look like there are any big threats to deal with right now. It's not that bad once you get used to it, you know.
 * [in Road to Ninja] Yes, of course! I know that! Look, I was just saying---
 * [in Road to Ninja] Hey, where are you going?
 * [in Road to Ninja] Wait! I'm coming too!
 * [in Road to Ninja] I'm sorry, Naruto. I was wrong. So wrong.
 * [in Road to Ninja] What do I do now? Is this all because of what I said to him? But now... what about his dream?
 * At this rate, Naruto is... going to... (struggling and desperate to say her words) ...die!!!!
 * [In her mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto... you saved the Leaf Village... and now you're trying to save the entire Shinobi World. You always get left with the insurmountable tasks... but no matter what you say this time... we're going to be together. Not just me... we're all going to fight together this time!
 * [In her mind when Naruto uses the Sexy Reverse Harem Jutsu] That idiot! Using a jutsu like that in this situation?! That might work on me, but there's no way he could use a jutsu to such a god-like person! [Naruto's shadow clones disappear before Naruto punches Kaguya in her face, distracting her] [dumbfounded] IT WORKED?!?!?!?! [faints]
 * You’re right, great news! The first thing that I want to do is take a hot bath to wash off this sweat and grime. [for a short moment] Aaahhh! Wait a second! What about us?! How are we supposed to get out of this time-space?!
 * [To Sasuke] The truth is... I've always known in my heart, there was nothing I could have done for you. But I love you! No matter what's happened, I still care for you more than I can bear... If I could had taken all your pain... onto myself to comfort you, I would have... and here we are again, and still, all I can do is to sit down and cry. I'm so pathetic...! But, Sasuke...! If I still have a place in your heart, no matter how small it may be... Then please... I'm begging you, don't slip away any further...! If we just stayed together... forever... Then I'm sure... Someday, things would go back to how they used to be...
 * It's dusk already... Where are Naruto and Sasuke?
 * [To Sasuke] You're just in time... you idiot!
 * Why do you really have to go?
 * What if... I asked you if I could come along?
 * Nothing to do with them, huh?
 * ["During the war when she receives a love letter from a shinobi she saved"] Thank you...but...there's someone else I'm in love with Sasuke. [thinks of Sasuke Uchiha]

Sai

 * The manual said that the first way to appeal to someone is with a smiling face. I've practiced but I'm still unable to make this facial expressions.
 * You're... pretty weak. The way you fight, are you a boy or a girl?
 * A smile is the best way to get oneself out of a tight spot, even if it is a fake one. Surprisingly enough, everyone takes it at face value. I read that in a book.
 * [to Naruto, who is mentally comparing Sai's appearance to Sasuke's] If you keep staring at me, I'll hit you.
 * [to Naruto in a hot springs] Well gee... You actually do have some balls after all.
 * I’ve drawn hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures so far… none of them have titles.
 * [to Naruto] Please don’t lay the blame on others for your own minimal amount of ability.
 * I have none of what you’d call “emotions”.
 * [To Sakura after being told to nickname people after what comes to mind]] Thanks for the advice... homely.
 * [thinking] If I use female's true characteristics, they get scary. I might avoid it if I say the opposite of what I think. [to Ino] Pleased to you ...you um, Beautiful.
 * [talking to Sakura] I like everyone. Even you, ugly.
 * [About Sasuke] He betrayed the Leaf and ran off to serve Orochimaru... I don't want to be lumped together with a cockroach along the same lines... as Orochimaru.
 * [to Naruto] Oh, geez… You two are so alike… you and my brother, I mean. He was loud, impatient, unrefined, and his peni... Well, it doesn't really matter.  But still... Yeah...  Just like you, he took on anything he did with everything he had.  Watching you somehow brings back memories of...
 * [to Sasuke] I'm here... to take you back to the Leaf Village.  Although my original intention was to assassinate you.
 * [Sees Naruto clones training simultaneously] Naruto? [Begins to read] When your friends are working unusually hard on the job or doing their hobbies, it's nice to casually bring them a snack or drink. [Looks back at the hundreds of training Naruto clones] Working unusually hard.. Seems normal to me. [Takes out an apple originally intended for Naruto and takes a bite]
 * I wonder if this is what you'd call 'gross'.
 * [to Sakura] I only became part of your team recently when I replaced Sasuke, so I don't know everything that's going on. I don't really understand people either. But even I can tell that Naruto really loves you. Naruto's been shouldering that promise for a long time...I think he means to shoulder it for the rest of his life. I don't know what you said to him, but it's just like what's been done to me - it feels like a curse. Sasuke causes Naruto pain, but I think you do too.
 * Sakura didn't come out here to confess her love. She was supposed to tell you the collective decision made by all your former Academy classmates...Konoha is going to dispose of Sasuke itself. Your ex-classmates are preparing to ask as we speak.
 * Sasuke is only helping spread his darkness across the world. Letting him live will only sow the seeds of another war. He's just another criminal now. Sasuke lost all hope of coming back when his group, Akatsuki, attacked our village. Your fellow Konoha shinobi would never accept him now. Sakura's not stupid, either. She understands the position he's put us all in. That's why she came out here, to tell you herself.
 * (to Sakura) Please don't think you have to shoulder all the responsibility (for killing Sasuke). I'm part of Team 7 too.
 * [In his mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war] This...is what it means to have friends. I understand it perfectly...Naruto.
 * ( to Sakura ) Your words may be not lies, but i can already tell that your smile is fake.

Sasori

 * [to Deidara] You're late! I told you I don't like to wait!
 * [to Kankuro] I don't like to wait and I don't like to keep others waiting. So let me make this quick and sweet.
 * [to Kankuro] The spider needs to be swifter than the fly.
 * [to Deidara] Art is something that lasts for all posterity. Art is eternal.
 * [to Chiyo while revealing his Hiruko body] If you insist on defying me, you give me no choice...How about I add you and the little girl to my collection, Grandmother!
 * [About his Human Puppet-making method] First I'll empty out everything about them from the bodies...Then I'll treat it so that it doesn’t decay before stocking it up with the rest of my collection.
 * [Finally revealing his puppet body] Yes, it's been a while... since I've used myself.
 * I am a puppet but... an incomplete puppet with the "core" of my real body... not human... not puppet...
 * Women like to do useless things, don't they...
 * Even connected by blood ties as we are, I won't feel a thing if Grandma Chiyo here dies. My heart... is just like this body. Of all the hundreds and thousands I've killed so far, she's just another one of them. It's that simple.
 * The strength of a puppeteer is measured by the amount of puppets they use.
 * [To Sakura] Give it up... this body feels no pain. If all you do is hit me, your fist is all that will hurt.
 * What's the point of something that disappears as soon as its born?
 * True beauty lies in things that last forever, never rotting or fading.
 * Traps are made so that people will fall into them.
 * [To Sakura] I would describe myself as a human being who could become a complete puppet, I am a unfinished puppet, whose lifeless frame still contains a beating heart at it's core. I am neither dead, nor am I alive.
 *  [To Kankuro] My old puppet body... Suddenly it all seems so pointless. I now have the body I've always desired, one that will never rot or decay. I've truly become a puppet in every sense of the word.
 * That is a considerable amount of puppets. But... [Proceeds to summon one hundred puppets of his own] With this, I took down a whole country!

Sasuke Uchiha

 * [After Sai tells him Naruto thinks of him as a brother] As far as brothers go, I have only one... one I must destroy.
 * Revenge means everything to me. As long as I can have my revenge, I could care less what happens to me, or the whole world for that matter. For both Orochimaru and me, right now, killing Itachi would be impossible. But if I am able to accomplish my goals, through nothing more than offering Orochimaru this body of mine... than he can have my life, and my afterlife for that matter.
 * [To Naruto] It's not that I didn't cut those bonds. I didn't want to give him the pleasure of seeing me obtain power by following in his footsteps. I just spared your life on a whim...nothing more.
 * [To Naruto, while leaning near him] You know, come to think of it, wasn't it always your dream to become Hokage someday? All of the time you spent chasing after me, would have been better spent in training... wouldn't you agree... Naruto? But this time... my whim is telling me... [unsheathing his sword] to finish what I started.
 * (About the Nine Tailed Fox) So this was the source of your power? Interesting. Who would've thought that something like this was inside of you?
 * [To Orochimaru after he reprimands him for not killing the sound ninja] They're not the ones I want to kill.
 * [To Orochimaru] I have nothing more to learn from you.
 * [As he attacks Orochimaru] It looks like I'll be able to be cold hearted, even in front of you!
 * What's your purpose? To unravel the logic of this world or whatever. You've continued to play around with people like toys for such a stupid and selfish reason. [reflects on Itachi's reason for massacring his clan to measure his power] You make me sick.
 * [To Orochimaru] A snake that crawled on the earth, dreaming of soaring through the sky... knowing full well it was impossible. Still, hoping beyond hope, it kept its eye on a baby bird that it nurtured in its own nest... little realizing that actually... [activates his curse mark's second level and grows wings] That snake is prey because that bird is a hawk... ready to take to the sky!
 * Orochimaru was already in a weakened state... That's all there is to the story.
 * You know nothing about me. [Sasuke proceeds to attack Itachi from behind with Chidori] How much hate has filled and enveloped my heart, how much stronger I've grown because of it... You know nothing.
 * [To Itachi] What I see with my Sharingan is very clear to me... I see you... Dead.
 * [To Itachi] I said this is the end, you murderous traitor. But before I kill you, I have one last question.
 * [To Itachi] You can use your eyes as much as you want. But with my hatred... I'll turn the illusion into reality! And that reality... is your death!
 * [Remembering the night the Uchiha clan was killed] I was so young... My only explanation was that it was all a horrible nightmare. I wanted to believe it wasn't real; That I was just trapped in someone's cruel genjutsu... But it did happen! That was reality! My "eyes" are wide open now! My Sharingan sees right through your Genjutsu!
 * [To Itachi] It's time to reproduce what I saw... the vision of your death.
 * Disappear with the thunder...
 * What Itachi wanted and what I want... are two completely different things. I can't do what he wanted... I'll revive the Uchiha my own way.
 * We have shed the skin of the snake, we are no longer the Hebi. From now on, our team will be "Hawk". We are Taka. Taka have but one purpose... our goal...[Awakens his Mangekyo Sharingan] is to destroy Konoha!
 * If, as you said, the reason why Itachi couldn't kill me... was because my life was more precious than the village, then I feel similarly, that Itachi's life is more precious than Konoha. That's all.
 * Saying I should follow in Itachi's footsteps is nothing but pretty words. It's nonsense meant for those who don't know hatred.
 * I have closed my eyes long ago... my goal exists in the Darkness.
 * If anyone wants to deny my way of living, I'll kill everyone they ever cared about left and right! Maybe then, they'll understand... a little of my hatred.
 * Do you really think you can kill me at any moment you wish? Stop acting like you're still my sensei! Go ahead and try something if you like, I'm just itching to kill you, Kakashi!
 * All the laughter, every one of you is laughing! Itachi sacrificed his life but you're still laughing cackling together like fools you're just ignorant of EVERYTHING! I can hear nothing but contempt and jeering in your voices, I want to change those laughs to screams and wails of misery!
 * [After Naruto tells him he understands his motives] Naruto... I told you before... how can you... with no parents or siblings... possibly understand me? You never had anyone! [Glares hatefully at Naruto] So shut up, you outsider!
 * Not long ago... I finally got my revenge on the one behind Itachi's betrayal! I took down a high-ranking hidden leaf elder right here, the one called Danzo. I've never felt like this before... I can feel the tainted Uchiha name becoming cleansed, I feel the Uchiha at last being freed from this rotting shinobi world. You couldn't even begin to understand it. And besides, isn't what I'm doing exactly what you leaf shinobi have wanted all along? You've always snubbed and put down the Uchiha clan, so I'll simply help erase the Uchiha from your memories; by killing all of you and then destroying the Hidden Leaf Village! Severing all bonds with the Hidden Leaf will be the ultimate purification and that shall lead to the Uchiha's true restoration!
 * [To Naruto] Naruto... it's too late, nothing you can say will change me! I'm going to kill you and every last person in your beloved village! It's time to make your choice! Kill me and become a hero, or die at my hand and become another one of my victims!
 * Just what in the hell do you want from me?! Why are you so fixated on me?!
 * [After having Itachi's eyes transplanted in him] It's perfect. I can feel Itachi's visual powers flowing through me. I can feel myself getting... [Grins evilly] stronger.
 * I guess anything I say now would be pointless... When I saw you... I decided to follow you here to confirm whether or not what Danzō and Tobi told me was true or not. But that wasn't the only reason... When I'm with you I remember the way it used to be. I remember time spent with the brother that I looked up to... that I loved. That's why... The closer I get to you... The more I'm able to recall what those days felt like... And the more I'm able to understand you. The more I'm able to hate Konoha for the suffering they put you through. In fact, it's becoming even stronger than before. I do understand what you want me to do. It's probably because you're my older brother that you feel the need to put me on the right path. But it's probably because I'm your younger brother that I'll never stop, no matter what you say. As you'll always exist to protect the village... so will I to destroy it. Goodbye... brother.
 * [After impaling a White Zetsu with a black flaming Totsuka Blade] Shall we test it outside? [Steps forward with a new Susano'o behind him] These eyes... [Removes his bandages] can see fine in the darkness... [Reveals his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan]
 * I'm going to the battlefield. I will not let this village... and my brother... be wasted!
 * Many things happened... But I decided to protect the village. And... I... will become Hokage.
 * Six Paths: Planetary Devastation!
 * [After sealing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki] I suppose so... But before that... I executed the Five Kages inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi... And on top of that Tailed Beasts... I'm going to place you all under my control!
 * While it's true I once desired destruction... and the only goal I had was revenge... things are different now. Because that which is destroyed can always be fixed and rebuilt. Villages freed from the clutches and employ of darkness... what I desire is to reform the entire shinobi world! What I am calling for, what I am bringing forth... that is... Revolution.
 * [To Sakura] You really are still incredibly annoying.
 * Then, you must know what you need to do.
 * (This fight with you right now... will be my last. Indra's Arrow. Currently the most powerful Jutsu in my arsenal. Just die! Just begone already!)
 * [in the Ultimate Ninja Storm 4] Why...? Over and over... Over and over and over... Why do you keep doing this?! What's wrong with you?! Just what are you?!
 * Only a diversion, huh? I can't actually take him down with this. I need the Tailed Beast's chakra! Ggh! I used too much chakra! I can't maintain control! At this rate, I can't use Amaterasu either!
 * This is just one of the many abilities... of the Rinnegan. As somebody who possesses the power of the eye, my victory is inevitable.
 * Goodbye, my one and only friend!
 * Over... and over and... Over... and over... and over and over and over and OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! JUST GIVE UP AND LET ME CUT YOU DOWN ALREADY!!!!!!!!!
 * Naruto... Just disappear already... And take our bond along with you!
 * Pitiful, huh? You had the Tailed Beast, and I had the Sharingan. We were ostracized by the villagers and treated like outcasts. We both resented the village, and everyone living in it. Right? You can't say that I'm wrong. You said I was like your brother, and in that sense, maybe we were brothers.
 * You're dead, and you're worried about what happens to the rest of the world?
 * Sakura and Kakashi are still there. They'll figure something out.
 * Naruto! The Hokage, huh...?
 * Why do you go that far? Why do all that, just to get in my way? I gained the power needed to enter into the darkness, and sever all ties. Naturally, everyone tried to cut ties with me, too. Except you... You've never attempted to cut me off... Why do you keep on involving yourself with me?
 * Just answer me!
 * You've told me that before. But what exactly does that mean to you?
 * Back then, that's when I wondered if your weakness was beginning to rub off on me. Afterwards, every time I'd see you, I think more and more about you, seeing you desperately trying to bond with others. You made me remember my own family. But I don't know why. But I felt relieved. Yet at the same time, I considered it a weakness. I trained hard, as if to escape that weakness, in order to get stronger for my brother, in order to get my revenge, yet I ended up on the same team as you. I began thinking about my family again. Completing missions with you, while you jabbered on and on becoming the Hokage... I saw both of us getting stronger, and... I started wanting to battle with you too someday. And I began to see a shadow of my own family in Team 7. That's why every time I saw your suffering... Yeah... that's right... I, too, felt pain... When I understood you're hurt... I finally saw you as a comrade... and conversely... I couldn't leave you alone. You are getting stronger and stronger, and watching you keep getting stronger, I was the one who was jealous of you. You had a strength that I didn’t have... You were always walking in front of me... Just like my late brother... And even today, too.
 * These are... Naruto's memories?
 * Naruto...? Everything you've gone through until this moment...?
 * Brother...
 * I see. Well then... Show me...
 * I admit it... that I've... I've lost.
 * Just knock it off. Shut up, you loser.
 * [To Sakura, remorseful] Sakura... listen... I'm sorry... about everything...
 * We used to be alone, starving for love, children who were festering with hatred, we went our separate ways, and fought, but Naruto... you never cut me off. You just kept getting closer to my heart. Even though it would have made sense for you to attack me with hatred, you told me I was your friend. And no matter how much I hurt you, you accepted me as one. I was only saved thanks to you. We used to do nothing but quarrel, and now we can feel the pain of each other's hearts. And this isn't just between us. It may be something that can be said in a much larger scope.
 * Now... I want to know how the world of the shinobis... how this world looks to me.
 * This is also a journey of repentance. You have nothing to do with my sins.
 * But I could never do things like you could. It was never that easy for me. That emotion felt like a prayer... I'll just have to bear this until I can really do it. And the ones who have been tasked with that... are us... ninjas.
 * It's been a while... Maybe... I'll go home.

Shikamaru Nara

 * Every jutsu has some kind of risk, or restriction on its use
 * [Smoking Asuma's last cigarette] ...I knew... I'd hate smoking... The smoke... gets in my eyes....
 * Just leaving things be, living without sticking to what we believe in is just... we just don't want to live like that 'cuz it's a pain the ass.
 * Kagemane no Jutsu... successful!
 * [To Hidan] That doesn't scare me at all. Between you and me, what we believe in is different. What I believe in is the "will of fire." But your god isn't some stupid Jashin-sama or anything. Right now, it's me. And I'll give you judgment!
 * I was always... complaining and avoiding my responsibilites. Because of my behavior, I'd mess up, and Asuma would have to cover me. He was a strange teacher who was, at times difficult to grasp. But he was the coolest adult there ever was. From here on, it's my turn.
 * [To Naruto] Someday you’ll be the one to treat others to ramen. And you’ll be called master Naruto. We can’t stay kids forever. Like Asuma and Jiraiya… I wanna be as cool as them.
 * [using Shogi as a metaphor for ninja life] The unborn children who'll grow up to be the next generation of leaf ninja... They're the king.
 * [To Kurenai] When you have that kid, I'll have to protect it. So I've gotta grow up to be a cool adult too!
 * We already know that the Akatsuki don't follow the laws of nature, physics or logic.
 * Where did I go? I went to talk to Naruto. He's been so down, you know? It's a pain in the arse, but I just found myself headed over there. He has something no-one else does...he's going to be a very important ninja. When I'm with Naruto...he makes me want to walk with him.
 * Man the hell up, Choji! We're not kids who need adults to protect us anymore, we're the protectors! Do you want to sit and watch while Asuma kills his own child? You think that's mercy?
 * [To Choji about Naruto while coming to aid Naruto during the war] He isn't the type to calmly come up with a plan though. [In thought] That's why I'm here. Wait for me Naruto, I'm almost there!

Shino Aburame

 * [After Naruto fails to recognize him] Even if it's been a while, you should at least remember the faces of your friends. The reason being that if you don't... it's painful to the person who called you out.
 * [thinking after seeing Tobi] So this is Akatsuki?
 * I'll finish this. Why? Not only am I part of the mission, but I must make up for not being there last time, as well.
 * [In his mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war] I'm going to fully support Naruto with my Ninjutsu...I don't need...a reason why!

Shizune

 * Naruto and Sakura are doing great!
 * Lady Tsunade, you do realize that by sending Naruto on this mission, you're putting him at risk, right?

Suigetsu Hozuki

 * [On Manda's death] Using time-space Justu to escape is cool, and all, but... what in the world just happened?
 * [Pointing at Sasuke's head with his hand in a "gun" gesture] Let's make our relationship clear, okay? Just because you defeated Orochimaru doesn't make you superior to me. We were all after him... sooner or later someone was going to kill him... You were a favorite and could stay by Orochimaru and weren't locked up. In this situation... I've got the upper hand.
 * Haha... Never would've guessed a bunch of stupid animals could sense chakra... Then again, "stupid animal" describes Karin pretty well, so I guess it makes sense.
 * [Speaking of Sasuke’s Mangekyo Sharingan] Jeez… that eye’s even handier than before… he’ll be even more of a pain now.
 * [as Sasuke tells him not to kill the curse mark test subjects] You really are of Konoha. You shoulda killed that last guy too... you're soft.

Temari

 * I don't believe in omens... But I have a bad feeling about this.
 * (Naruto's dedication to rescue Gaara) Naruto... Thank you.
 * (to Naruto) You are a strange person. You have the power to change people.

Tenten

 * I was stronger than I was yesterday!
 * You're in no position to continue!
 * Guy-Sensei! Hurry up! You're too slow!
 * Lee you got to do better
 * Neji, are you alright?
 * [In her mind while coming to aid Naruto during the war] Is Guy-Sensei there? I hope he's protecting Naruto! Kakashi-Sensei's there too...so they should be alright...

Tsunade

 *  [Watching Team Kakashi go on their mission] Growth.. is a mysterious thing, isn't it?
 * [Thinking about Dan and Nawaki] There are times when death is hard to accept. But if you don't get over it, there's no future.
 * [Referring to Naruto and Gaara] The only one who can understand a Jinchuuriki... Is another Jinchuuriki.
 * If Naruto and the fate of Konoha fall because of me... I'll take full responsibility!
 * I will protect the village, no matter what... I swear by the name of Hokage!
 * [Mug suddenly cracks] That's a bad sign. [Quickly takes out lotto ticket] I won! And it's the grand prize, to boot! This is the worst possible omen.
 * And yet, truth is still stranger than fiction.
 * Bah, you men are all alike. Without women around, there'd be no one to reject your advances and toughen you up.
 * [To her advisers] Do you know what Jiraiya and Sarutobi and Chiyo of Sunagakure had that you don't?.. Faith.

Obito Uchiha/Tobi

 * I'm new to the bunch! Pleased to meet ya!
 * Found it! I found it, Mr. Zetsu! So, can I become a member of Akatsuki now? There is an opening now, after all.
 * [To Deidara, when he threatens to decide how to kill him] What's to decide? You'd just blow me up!
 * Like this Mr. Zetsu?
 * They're strong, aren't they? No wonder you got beat up, Deidara-senpai.
 * Senpai! Senpai! Look! Look! [Points at piggy bank inside dango store as Deidara looks] That's exactly like your artwork, isn't it? Could it be that your works of art are.. A cheap rip-off?
 * Ichibi, Nibi, and I am Tobi!
 * I look forward to watching you develop, Sasuke... Will you remain a snake? Or shed your serpentine scales and become a hawk?
 * Whooooah! Didn't see that coming! NOT! Just as I predicted...
 * [To Pain about Naruto] You capture him. As the leader, failure will not be accepted.
 * Soon… soon, all our goals will be achieved. And when they are, everything will be as it should.
 * I'll play with you children some other time.
 * I know everything there is to know about Itachi. Of course, he died without realizing just how much.
 * [To Sasuke] You know so much about your brother and at the same time, you know nothing.
 * [To Sasuke after revealing the truth about Itachi] You couldn’t see through Itachi at all. You couldn’t see through his illusion.
 * Good feeling, Sharingan's power was shown well, his eyes will surpass Itachi's eyes. The time is ripe. You can bet he's prepared himself as it won't be long now.
 * The Sharingan's true power... My power... Madara Uchiha's power!
 * [thinking about Sasuke] When one loves… there is the risk of hate.
 * [to Minato] You deserve the title of Fourth Hokage... managing to wound me, and wrest the fox from my control in one move. But someday it will be mine again. The fox, and this whole world, will bow to my will. Many doors are still left open to me.
 * [to Konan] There is no peace! There can be no hope! Nagato only believed in Naruto to try to comfort his own pitiful existence!
 * [to Naruto and Killer Bee] The war has already begun... My name no longer matters. You may call me by my old name, Tobi, if you prefer. Madara, Tobi... call me whatever you want. I'm no one... I don't want to be anyone. All I care about is completing my Eye of the Moon Plan.
 * [to Naruto and Killer Bee] "Individuality makes people blind to the truth. My words, the words of no one... are the true words that will lead this world to truth...
 * [to Kakashi] "You've seen reality, you should be able to understand... No wish can become true in this world. That's why I'm pursuing the dream of infinite Tsukuyomi. I want to build a world where heroes don't have to make pitiful excuses in front of graves.
 * [To Naruto after Neji's death] "This is what happens when you talk about hope and ideals... This is reality. Naruto... what do you have in this reality? You have no father and mother... your master Jiraiya is dead, and as long as you keep opposing, your friends will die one after the other. No one that acknowledges you will survive. And you already know what lies ahead of all this... Loneliness. There's no need to be in this reality. Come at me, Naruto!"
 * [to Kakashi] "Look! There is nothing in my heart! I don't even feel pain! You don't have to feel guilty, Kakashi. This hole was opened by this hell of a world."
 * [To Minato] "We're way past the point of lectures, wouldn't you agree, sensei? When it came to life changing events, you were always a step behind...I'm glad my sensei was the Hokage. Thanks to that, it was easier for me to let my dream die...Despite being my master, you failed to recognize your own pupil. You've always had that oblivious nature about you, from the moment I met you... I can't help but pity you. The hallowed martyr...shamed in front of his living son...Yes...a mere Hokage is simply fodder compared to what I've become...
 * Rin... Rin was the only light I had. After I lost her, my view of the world changed. It became a pitch-black hell. There was no more hope in this world. I began walking again under the guise of Madara... which only reinforced what I already realized. Even with the Sharingan, I couldn’t see anything. Nothing.
 * See what? Naruto? Why do you trust him so much?
 * Why would you help him?
 * Could something like that actually exist in this hell?
 * Maybe... I feel... the same way...
 * [To Madara after a change of heart] I'm not you. The current me is the one who wanted to become Hokage: Obito Uchiha!"
 * [To Naruto] "I am Kakashi's friend, your father's student, an Uchiha like Sasuke, and... I'm someone who had the same dream as you a long time ago. Now there's no time to go on with sophisms, but at least let me walk in front of you... and die!"
 * (Final words, to Naruto]'' "You'll probably have to suffer again from now on...But don't change. Keep going your way. You told me that you never change your words... that's your ninja way, right? Naruto, become Hokage... at all costs."
 * I have to go soon.
 * Kakashi, I really made a mess of the shinobi world. So much so that I don’t even know what to say to you in parting.

Yamato

 * It's an honor to be working in Kakashi's place.
 * Teamwork and cooperation are the most important things in a team.
 * [To Naruto, Sakura and Sai while making "ghoul eyes"] The three of you probably don't know me very well, either... While I do prefer to interact with people in a gentle manner, I will use draconian methods if needed.
 * Sakura, come back! You have to stay away from him!
 * It’s not what you do for Naruto that’s important... it’s how strongly you feel about him that counts. Sakura... I can tell just by looking at you... the truth is, you-
 * I’ll pass on saying "I won’t let you guys get hurt!" with a smile. You’re no longer an apprentice ninja who needs to be protected. You’re shinobi who’ll sooner or later have to pass Kakashi and sustain Konoha on your shoulders. It’s one thing to be compassionate and another to be indulgent.
 * Naruto and Sakura, with you two here I had hoped not to have to resort to any of my cruder methods… but, unfortunately, it’s time I get serious.
 * [To Naruto] If you want to save Sasuke, then do it using your own power. If you wish to see Sasuke, then look with your eyes, not the Nine-Tails. If you want to protect Sakura, forget about Kurama. Use your own strength.
 * [To Naruto and Sai] Ahh... It's nice to enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot springs, right guys? [both ignore him, so he makes his "ghoul eyes"] I said "RIGHT GUYS...?"
 * Actually, just watch... you're about to see a completely new Naruto!

Zetsu

 * [White Zetsu] Tobi's a good boy.
 * [White Zetsu] When you are sad and alone... [black side] All you can count on is yourself.
 * [white side to the black side in references to Pain fight with Jiraiya] What took you so long? [Black Zetsu] He was fighting Jiraiya after all
 * [White to Black on Orochimaru] Always with the barfing stuff and the coming out of snake mouths... he grosses me out. [Black Zetsu] The snake connection is no coincidence; he's as persistent as a king cobra.
 * [White to Black] Yeah, well, Sasuke just ate a Tsukiyomi. He won't be able to move anymore, you'll be snacking on him in no time.

Black Zetsu

 * The Sharingan is just another tool that some ninja can use. A tool is only as powerful as the shinobi who uses it. An expert with a stone can still beat a novice with a shuriken. All he needs is more skill and more power.
 * Itachi...He is dead!? Unbelievable!
 * (to White Zetsu) A weapon's strength or weakness is dependent on the user's ability to use it. An expert with a pebble can still beat a novice with a shuriken
 * (To Minato and Kakashi after fusing onto Obito's body) I'm Madara's will. I'll eliminate whoever stands in his way. You and Obito took Madara way too lightly, and you underestimated me as well.
 * (to Madara) You're not the saviour...and it's not over. Why do you think, that unlike Obito, you can use everyone else? Why would you be any different?"
 * (to Madara before fusing onto him to revive his true creator) My will is...Kaguya's!
 * (last words to Naruto) You... you're just a piece of the Shinobi history I created and nothing more! A useless brat like you could never---!

Dialogue

 * Naruto: This takes me back! This place hasn't changed a bit! I'm home, everyone! Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the Hidden Leaf Village!
 * Sakura: So, Naruto? Have I changed? Am I more... womanly?
 * Naruto: Are you kidding? No way! You haven't changed at all! (Sakura twitches, then turns away)
 * Jiraiya: You don't understand a woman's heart...
 * Konohamaru (After using the Sexy Jutsu): How was that? A real drool of a ninjutsu, wasn't it?
 * Naruto: Hehehe... [turns serious] Konohamaru, I'm not that scrawny little kid anymore. And you shouldn't be using jutsu like that either. It's beneath you.
 * Sakura: [smiling sadly and thinking] ...Well, I'll be... it's not just the outside that's changed... I kinda missed the old Naruto, but you've turned out pretty well, haven't you? You really have become amazing... Naruto. I'm sure you've come back with a lot of great new jutsu too, right...
 * Naruto: [with a comically exaggerated look of excitement on his face] Such a jutsu is now mediocre, Konohamaru! Behold! The new Harem Jutsu I've been developing! Here we goooo!
 * Sakura: [smiling] Aha, new ninjutsu, you say, Harem--- Another Harem Jutsu!? [punching Naruto] YOU Dickhead!
 * Jiraiya: [thinking] That hot-quick-temper and monster strength... You've raised that Tsunade Jr...


 * Iruka: Hey, Naruto, long time no see.
 * Naruto: Iruka-sensei, guess what! I beat Kakashi-sensei!
 * Iruka: That's pretty impressive. But you've still got a long way to go before you're ready to beat me.


 * Naruto: Ichiraku's ramen is the best.
 * Iruka: Isn't it?
 * Naruto: But something's not right.
 * Iruka: Naruto, here I thought I'd treat you to some ramen since it's been so long and you're going to complain about it?
 * Naruto: No, that's not what I meant! I don't have any problem with the ramen!
 * Iruka: Then, what?
 * Naruto: I wanted the next time Iruka-sensei treated me to ramen to be when I became a Chunin.


 * Deidara: Don't be impatient! We'll deal with our old friend Orochimaru in time. We have only three years in which to prepare, and we all know what we need to do to be ready, right?"
 * Sasori: Are you sure that one bag you brought with you is enough? Your opponent is a Jinchuriki.
 * Deidara: My jutsu is a masterpiece. And I'm also carrying my specialty. After all, my opponent is the One-Tailed Shukaku.


 * (During a flashback)
 * Kankuro: Gaara, give it up. I don't want to say this... The village only thinks of you as a weapon of terror. You'll have a really hard time if you leave us and join a regular squad. The higher-ups don't think much of you. And most of the villagers are still terrified of you.
 * Gaara: I know that. But doing nothing will cause more fear and suffering. In order to escape a path of loneliness, I have no choice but to work hard and make my own path. If I do that, then someday... Someday... I can be like him. That's why I will become Kazekage as a Shinobi of Sand. So I can live a life connected to my village.
 * Kankuro: Gaara...
 * Gaara: I want to work hard so that others will accept my existence. That's what I thought when I looked at Naruto Uzumaki. Up until now, my bonds with others have only been ones of pain. But, seeing him fight so hard made me wonder what a bond really is. I think I understand a little now. Suffering, sadness... and joy. To be able to share it with another person... Naruto Uzumaki... When I fought him, I feel that is what he taught me. He knows the same suffering as I do. And he taught me that you can change how you live your life. Someday, I want my existence to be necessary to others.


 * Sakura: Naruto, what did we just say?! Stick together---
 * Naruto: I CAN'T TAKE THIS! I know why they're after Gaara and me. Sakura, you know why, too, don't you? (no response) There's no need to hide it... The Nine Tails is sealed inside of me. (Temari acts surprised, Kakashi acknowledges his sorrow and Sakura is surprised to remember he is the same boy the entire village shunned during childhood)
 * Villagers: -Hey, isn't that the one? -How disgusting! Let's leave!
 * Naruto: Gaara and I are the same... We both have monsters locked inside us. That's what those guys are after. I... HATE IT! They just see us as monsters! As means to an end!
 * Gaara: (memory) A demon huh? My demon is as real as yours is. I was born a monster.
 * Naruto: He was just like I was. (Temari understands) And he fought all on his own a lot longer than I did. (Temari sulks)
 * Sakura: (feeling uttermost compassion and sympathy) Naruto...
 * Gaara: (memory) To them, I'm just a relic from the past that they want to erase. Then why should I continue to exist? I thought about it, but couldn't find an answer. But, one needs a reason to live. Otherwise, it's the same as being dead.
 * Naruto: He's been targeted by the Akatsuki! We're the same, again! And despite that... Why does everything bad always have to happen to him?! It's always him! That's why... That's why I can't waste a second! This time, I want to save him as fast as I can!
 * Temari: (sulking in sympathy for Naruto and Gaara, seeing the former's sympathy genuine when she fell a tear fall onto her face) Naruto, I... Thank you...


 * Deidara: I merely take on contracts to blow things up... with my art, that is, h'm!
 * Sasori: Your art?
 * [Deidara holds up a clay spider]
 * Deidara: Behold! Aren't you impressed? The product pursuing refined linework matched with two-dimensional deformation! H'm! Now this is art! But my art doesn't end here! None of my works are static! When they have physical form, they're little more than models, h'm! But this explodes! And with that explosion, its essence is propelled to greatness, at that moment of becoming the true work of art I intended! And in that fleeting moment of grandeur that I see true art! H'm! Art is an explosion!
 * Sasori: Damn, he's annoying...
 * Kisame: Is he done now...?
 * Itachi: Who knows...


 * Guy: That sword...!
 * Kisame: So you've finally remember at last?
 * Guy: ...It's your sword, right?!


 * Sasori: Itachi, this Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, what is he like?
 * Pain: Go on, tell him.
 * Itachi: He's the one who bursts in and starts barking.
 * Sasori: What do you mean?
 * Deidara: Doesn't he have any identifying characteristics, other than barking?


 * Deidara: What's taking them? I wish they would just hurry up and get in here, hmm... Sasori, my man? I thought you didn't like to wait.
 * Sasori: You're right...I hate it!


 * Deidara: Finally. Well then, which one of you is the Jinchuriki?
 * Naruto: You bastards! You'll pay for this!
 * Sasori: The one who bursts in and starts barking... He must be the Jinchuriki.
 * Deidara: Sasori, my man, I think you're correct.


 * Sakura: Thank you, Lady Chiyo.


 * [Guy, annoyed with being last, puts an exhausted Kakashi on his back.]
 * Naruto: [thinking] That's just wrong.
 * Sakura: [thinking] Grown men playing piggyback... It's almost creepy.
 * Tenten: [thinking] Oh, brother...
 * Lee: [thinks] I see... a training exercise!
 * Guy: [Proceeds to run] Now it'll be a lot faster! Ahahaha! All of you, see if you can keep up!
 * Sakura: [thinking] Running doesn't make it less weird when they're in motion...
 * Lee: [bending over] Neji... Get on my back.
 * Neji: Forget it!


 * Tobi: I found it! I found it, Mr. Zetsu! [Tobi takes Sasori's ring and admires it] This means I can become an Akatsuki member now, right? You have a vacant place, after all. [Tobi flips the ring into the air]
 * Black Zetsu: Idiot. It's not that simple.
 * White Zetsu: Why not let him? Tobi's a good boy. [Tobi fails to catch the ring as it falls into a crack in the ground as Zetsu walks off.]
 * Tobi: Mr. Zetsu, wait!


 * [Tobi finds Deidara's severed hand in the woods and figures he died in an explosion. Deidara appears soon, alive]
 * Tobi: My, my, my! You made it in one piece, Deidara? Opps, my mistake.
 * Deidara: Tobi, even the great Buddha loses patience when insulted a third time...One more word and there'll be no doubt about the cause of your death.
 * Tobi: Death by explosion?
 * Black Zetsu: There's the third time...
 * Deidara: [locks his legs around Tobi's neck in a chokehold] Death by suffocation, hm!


 * Sai: Sorry about before. I wanted to test the abilities of my new teammate.
 * Naruto: You didn't have to go that far...
 * Sai: I wanted to see how strong my teammate is, or if the little boy needs help.
 * [Sakura holds Naruto back as he tries to attack Sai]
 * Naruto: What was that, you...?!
 * Sakura: He's our teammate now, don't start fights with him! [to Sai] And that includes you too.
 * Sai: Oh, really?
 * Sakura: You won't make any friends if you keep acting like that.
 * Sai: Oh? But I like everyone. Even you, ugly.
 * [Yamato holds Sakura back as she tries to attack Sai]
 * Sakura: What was that, you...?!
 * Yamato: Take your own advice.


 * Naruto: The fourth member of Team Kakashi, now and always... is Sasuke Uchiha! This guy's just a filler. He'll never be like Sasuke! He'll never be a part of the team!
 * Sai: I'm glad you let that out. Sasuke betrayed the Leaf and joined Orochimaru. The last thing I wish to be like is a treacherous cockroach.
 * Naruto: You... [Sakura stops him from saying anything]
 * Sakura: Naruto, remember we're a team. Sai... he doesn't know you that much yet. Please forgive him.
 * Naruto: S-Sakura...
 * Yamato: Sigh... Glad someone has some sense.
 * Sai: That's all right. I'm not offended at all.
 * Sakura: [smiling] That's a relief. [She then sends Sai flying with a punch] I don't care one bit... if you forgive me.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sai: Why do you go so far for him? Why are you trying so hard to bring him back, willing to risk your life by going up against Orochimaru to do it? Why? You haven’t been ordered to do this.
 * Naruto: You know... I used to hate Sasuke... But once I got used to being with him I realized he's really a lot of fun to be around... he's more than a friend, he accepted me and my existence. Sasuke is my friend... and we have a bond...
 * Sai: A... bond? But still, you have to go through Orochimaru...
 * Naruto: I don’t care who I have to fight! If he tears my arms off, I'll kick him to death! If he tears my legs off, I'll bite him to death! If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death! If he gouges my eyes out, I'll curse him to death! Even if I'm torn to shreds, I'll defeat Orochimaru and take Sasuke, once and for all!

 * Deidara: You forget I helped you out! You didn't do it alone! If you're a member of the Akatsuki, being cool means not being such a big mouth. In a word, cool equals art. Anyway, in the passionate instant when you begin to feel the cool feelings of art-- [Tobi interrupts]
 * Tobi: Senpai, you seem to be the big mouth right now... Hahaha! [Deidara gives him an 'evil' look and begins to attack him with explosives] ...I said I was joking! Ahhhh! Owwww!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Deidara: Now, Tobi! Don't get too cocky! The Three-Tails wasn't in a Jinchuuriki, so it's weak. It didn't have enough smarts to control its own strength. [Tobi just lies there, silent] ...Hey, Tobi. I didn't mean you had to take it literally. At least say something... [Deidara discovers Tobi has actually fallen asleep, and after another 'evil look', he once again attacks him with explosives]
 * Tobi: NOOOO!
 * Deidara: YOU IMBECILE! HOW'S THAT FOR A WAKE-UP CALL?!

 * Naruto: If I can't look both ways at the same time, all I have to do is split into two and look right while my clone looks left!
 * Kakashi: And that would mean you got that idea from my clone stunt a moment ago. [thinks] Although it's only an approach available to Naruto with his chakra and shadow clones... I, of course, wouldn't be able to do it, but even for the Fourth, it would've been impossible. Naruto really is something. [to Naruto] I must say, you do live up to your title of "most unpredictable ninja". Naruto, how should I put it... I think I'm starting... to fall in love with you!
 * [Naruto's jutsu fizzles and his clones fade as he reacts, shocked]

 * [Kakuzu has been defeated by Naruto's Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken]
 * Kakuzu: For me... to be beaten by kids like you...
 * Kakashi Well to someone who fought the First Hokage, we do look like kids. However, you look like a crazy old man. Thus, here you lie in the dirt and now your time to die has come. From one generation to the next, the following one will continue to surpass the previous.
 * [Kakashi finishes off Kakuzu]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Deidara: No doubt about it. My art's gonna finish you off this time.

[Deidara chuckles, but Sasuke just stares at him with his Sharingan]
 * Deidara: ...That's what pisses me off about you! You and your accursed brother!

[Sasuke continues to stare at Deidara]
 * Deidara: Stop acting cool! Those eyes! Those darned cocky eyes of yours! It drives me insane! Eyes that reject... That disdain my art! I refuse to be looked at by them anymore! Eyes that show no wonder... No appreciation... Eyes that ignore my creations!
 * Sasuke: [after a pause] I couldn't care less about all that. Now tell me where Itachi is!

[Sasuke's Sharingan fades back into his normal eyes, and he still stares at Deidara]
 * Deidara: Even without his Sharingan... he still takes me lightly...

[Deidara rips his shirt off revealing a mouth on his chest that he feeds explosive clay]
 * Deidara: Behold... My masterpiece! Self-destruction!
 * Sasuke: [thinking] He's insane!
 * Deidara: Death will transform me into a work of art! An explosion unlike any of the others... One that will leave scars in the earth like nothing else... A creation worthy of praise unlike anything before it! [thinking] Sorry, Tobi... [To Sasuke] And you... will die! The blast will cover more than 10 kilometers! You'll never get away, hmmm! Now show me your fear! Drown yourself in the awe... and despair! Cry like a lost child! Because my art... IS AN EXPLOSION!

[A massive explosion occurs]

 * Tsunade: You're dealing with someone who's strong enough to keep Akatsuki in line. We have no idea of his power... And now you're gonna waltz right onto his turf.
 * Jiraiya: Yep... I guess I should get moving.
 * Tsunade: Come back alive... If I lose you, too... I...
 * Jiraiya: Are you gonna cry for me?! Haha, I'm honored! I don't suppose I'll get as many tears as Dan did, though, ha ha ha!
 * Tsunade: ...
 * Jiraiya: Alright, how about we put your gambling skills to use? Put everything you've got on me dying. You always pick the losing bet. And in return, I'll come back alive and well.

 * Itachi: I see you learned a little about fighting the Sharingan... You must know what to do when you're alone. Why aren't you running?
 * Naruto: Pfft! Because with me, my numbers can be anywhere from 1 to 1,000! And I can't afford to run this time. I've gotta capture you so I can find Sasuke!
 * Itachi: [after a long pause] ...What is it about my brother that makes you care about him so much?
 * Naruto: Because he's like a brother to me... More of a brother to me than he ever was to you!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Jiraiya: [finishing recalling Nagato, Konan and Yahiko's childhood] Any time there was trouble, whoever opposed your side would wind up dead. A few years after I left, I started hearing your names come up occasionally.
 * Konan: You have no idea what happened to us after you left, sensei.
 * Jiraiya: You're absolutely right, I don't. But there's no doubt in my mind that what Akatsuki's doing is wrong!
 * Pain: [arriving on-scene] That's YOUR opinion... Jiraiya-sensei.
 * Jiraiya: You've changed a lot, but those eyes... so you're Pain... Eh, Nagato? I guess you didn't grow up like I thought you would. What HAPPENED to you three?
 * Nagato: [coldly] You don't need to know. You're just an outsider, remember?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Tsunade: Minato Namikaze... The resemblance is undeniable...
 * Jiraiya: Minato had talent you only see once a decade at best. He was a genius... No one like him has been born in a while. He was such a nice kid, yet his guts and desire to succeed are the fiercest I've ever seen. And in the blink of an eye, he was our fourth Hokage. I never had kids, so I don't know what it's like... But if he were my son, I'd have bragged about him all the time.
 * Tsunade: Haha... Hearing you say that makes me think of how different they are, too. If I had to choose, I'd say he's much more similar to his mother.
 * Jiraiya: ...A kunoichi from the former Land of Whirlpools...
 * Tsunade: Yeah... His personality and ninjutsu style are exactly like Kushina Uzumaki's.
 * Jiraiya: That was her name! I remember that red hair, the constant jabbering and her tomboyish demeanor. She was just like one of the boys!
 * Tsunade: Kushina became so beautiful as she grew up... but Naruto does look a lot like his father.
 * Jiraiya: That's why I say I see him in Naruto. I have to admit I've come to think of him as my own grandson...

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Minato: I thought it was great! Each chapter really seems like a page out of your own life, Sensei. It almost reads like an autobiography.
 * Jiraiya: Yeah, but... It didn't sell at all. Maybe I should try and sex up the sequel a little... That's my real forte, after all.
 * Minato: The way the protagonist refused to give up, even at the end... that was really cool. He's just like you, Sensei.
 * Jiraiya: Heheh... You think so?
 * Minato: Actually, I was thinking...
 * Jiraiya: Hm?
 * Minato: We want to raise our child to be a shinobi like the one in your book! That's why we've decided to name him after the main character in your book. What do you think?
 * Jiraiya: A-Are you sure about this? It's just a random name I came with while I was eating some ramen-
 * Kushina: (enters the room) Naruto... It's a beautiful name. (she rubs her pregnant stomach gently)
 * Jiraiya: Kushina... Hahaha... Hoo boy... If I name him, that makes me his Godfather, right? Are you sure you want that on your heads?
 * Minato: Absolutely! You're a man of true skill... An example we should all follow. I can't think of a finer shinobi than you.

 * Sasuke: Just who is Madara?
 * Itachi: A man whose eyes tamed the Nine-Tails and controlled it like a pet [Itachi activates his Mangekyou Sharingan] ...My accomplice, and my teacher [Itachi proceeds to move towards Sasuke] ...The only person in history to learn the Sharingan's final secret... An invincible immortal. That is who Madara Uchiha is.

 * White Zetsu: Sasuke won. Itachi Uchiha is dead [everyone has shocked looks on their faces].
 * Tobi: Whoa, didn't see that coming... NOT. Just as I predicted.
 * Sakura: S-Sasuke... killed Itachi?
 * White Zetsu: Sasuke collapsed like, a second later, though... What do you say? He's probably fading fast.
 * Naruto: YO ALOE VERA! WHERE THE HELL IS SASUKE!?
 * White Zetsu: "Aloe vera"...?
 * Black Zetsu: Just ignore him.

[Kakashi looks at Tobi and sees his Sharingan]
 * Tobi: [with Sharingan active] I'll play with you children some other time.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Tobi: I know everything there is to know about Itachi. Of course, he died without realizing just how much...
 * Sasuke: [gripping the sheets tightly] Enough! I don't care anymore! Just go away and never come near me again!
 * Tobi: I think you should-- no, you HAVE to question me. It's your mission... Your duty! [Sasuke continues to lean forward, sick with shock] ...You need to know about him... This man who risked everything to protect the shinobi world... The Leaf Village... And most of all, his little brother... You need to know about Itachi Uchiha's life.

 * Iruka: Naruto... I heard about Master Jiraiya.
 * Naruto: [wiping his tears] ...I wanted him to keep watching me... I wanted him to be there when I became Hokage. To have him see me do more than just screw up... Heh...
 * Iruka: Master Jiraiya had nothing but praise for you. He'd brag constantly about you, how you were practically his grandson. How you were a man who'd inherited his spirit. He never doubted for a minute that you'd grow up to be a wonderful Hokage... Master Jiraiya will always be watching over you. In fact, I'm sure he's looking down on you now, wherever he is. But if you just sit around sulking, he won't be able to brag about you. Don't stop being the person who earned all that praise. Be yourself... And cheer up! You're Master Jiraiya's prize pupil- the man who he acknowledged as being the best.
 * Naruto: [clearly reassured] ...Thanks... Iruka-sensei.

<hr width="50%"/> [Flashback to Naruto's time with Jiraiya]
 * Jiraiya: I'm always thinking I want to do something about this hatred, but I'm not sure how to go about it yet. But I believe... that eventually the day will come when all people will understand one another and live in harmony!
 * Naruto: Wow, that's kinda deep.
 * Jiraiya: Well then, if I can't find the solution, I shall pass the quest on to you!
 * Naruto: Yessir! Can't refuse your orders, Pervy Sage!
 * Jiraiya: Nwa ha ha!
 * Naruto: What's so funny?
 * Jiraiya: I feel redeemed by your smiling face.
 * Naruto: Heh heh.
 * Jiraiya: I'm glad I made you my apprentice.
 * Naruto: R-really?
 * Jiraiya: But I haven't given up yet, you know! I plan to change the world with my books!
 * Naruto: With those books that don't sell?
 * Jiraiya: Fool! They'll be best sellers before you know it! And when that day comes, I won't autograph your copies even if you beg me to!
 * Naruto: No thanks! Don't want your autograph anyway! [thinking in the present] 'Cause you gave me something much more valuable.

 * Pain: I've wanted to talk with you.
 * Tsunade: [remembers Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan as children] You're... That kid...
 * Pain: Looks like you remember me.
 * ANBU agent: Do you know him?
 * Tsunade: A little...
 * ANBU agent: Who is he?
 * Tsunade: ...
 * Pain: The god who will restore order.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: There's something I need to find out... I want to talk to Pain.
 * Inoichi: What the hell are you talking about? I'm grateful you defeated Pain, but talking won't solve anything now!
 * Naruto: So what, then? Should I just destroy Pain and his cronies and his whole village, and that'll solve everything?
 * Inoichi: What use will talking be? He's the enemy of the Hidden Leaf! We can't just forgive him!
 * Naruto: I can't just forgive him for what he did to my master and the village and everyone!
 * Inoichi: So what, then?
 * Shikaku: Inoichi. Let's just let Naruto go alone. He's the one who stopped Pain. I'm sure he has a plan. Just let him go.
 * Naruto: Thanks, Shikaku!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: Sakura, what was that? What did you just say? Because I don't think I heard you right. Say that again?
 * Sakura: I guess. Sure. What I said was, I love you, Naruto. I'm saying there's nothing between me and Sasuke anymore! I don't know what I was thinking, liking a person in the first place. I'm confessing my feelings here, so listen up!
 * Naruto: But why, huh? Why, tell me?! Is this supposed to be some kind of joke or something? It's not funny at all, Sakura! What happened?!
 * Sakura: It's nothing, really. I just finally realized that there's no sense in continuing to like someone who's a fugitive and a criminal. I can't stay a kid forever. I want to face reality. So, Naruto, no need to keep that promise. Won't you stop chasing Sasuke?
 * Yamato: What's going on?
 * Sakura: (in Kiba's flashback) I'll do all the talking, so don't say anything to Naruto. You've got to keep this promise, everyone.
 * Kiba: (thinking) Damn it! Is this really what she had in mind?
 * Naruto: Look, Sakura. What happened to you? You just suddenly started liking me?
 * Sakura: I told you, nothing's happened! As for why I fell in love with you, it's obvious.
 * Kakashi: Sakura, you're...
 * Sakura: Sasuke just keeps running further away from me, but Naruto, you've always stayed by my side no matter what. You always cheered me up. I guess I finally see you, Naruto. Your true self, who you really are. When our whole village was brought to its knees by Pain, and in return, just when you were needed most. The hero who defended the village, right now, everyone in the Leaf admires you... and I'm just one of them. You used to be a mischievous prankster years ago, but you've becoming something wonderful, and I've watched it all, but all Sasuke adds to his crimes and he just keeps breaking my heart. He's always becoming anymore of a stranger, but Naruto... I might be close to you like this. You make me feel safe. From the bottom of my heart, I care about you.
 * Naruto: [shoving Sakura] Quit it! Just stop, Sakura! This joke of yours isn't funny at all!
 * Sakura: Why are you so upset? I'm telling you; I like you instead of Sasuke, it's like that old saying, "Women are as fickle as the autumn weather."
 * Naruto: Just stop! I hate people who lie to themselves, so just stop it!
 * Sakura: So that's it? You think I'm lying to myself? I'm the one who decides how I feel, not you! If you hate me, just come out and say so! Don't make some lame excuse!
 * Naruto: But it doesn't make sense! You left the village and came all the way out here and just to tell me that?!
 * Sakura: Just to tell you...? "Just"?! Is that what you said?! You think it's easy for a girl to confess her love like I just did?! Yes, I came all the way out here! Of course, I come as far as this, it's always Sasuke this and Sasuke that, chasing after him and putting yourself in danger! You're the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, the Akatsuki's after you! So you worry about your own skin for a change?! Don't you get it? I'm trying to tell you that you don't have to chase after Sasuke and endanger yourself! I came out here to find you because I want you to return to the village right away! That's all!
 * Naruto: I'm sorry, but it still sounds like an excuse you made up. I know you, Sakura. I may be better than you think.
 * Sakura: Why don't you understand what I'm trying to say? I don't care about Sasuke at all anymore since he's become a criminal. So the promise between us doesn't stand anymore!
 * Naruto: But it's not just about that promise now. Maybe I understand better why Sasuke is becoming obsessed with revenge. And he's causing so much damage. Sasuke really loved his family and his clan. And I think it's because he loves them so much. But I just can't forgive what happened.
 * Kiba: If that's true, then why would he join the Akatsuki after defeating the unforgivable Itachi?
 * Naruto: That's not how it worked out. What really happened---
 * Kakashi: Naruto!
 * Naruto: It doesn't matter even if there isn't a promise between us anymore. Because rescuing Sasuke is just something that I have to do.
 * Sakura: (walks away in defeat, thinking) Naruto... I'm sorry...

 * Onoki: My hips are troubling me. The rest of you may do as you like.
 * Akatsuchi: Good idea.

<hr width="50%"/> [At the Kage Summit Bridge]
 * Sakura: [In her mind while trying to kill Sasuke] Sasuke, when did I fall in love with you? Back in those days, I was just infatuated with how cool you were. Then you become my teammate on Team 7. Being teammates didn't change me. I was still hopelessly in love with the cool Sasuke. Just gazing at his handsome profile was enough for me. I never gave a thought to who he really was behind that pensive face. But the shadow that you carried, when I finally noticed it was too late. Before I knew it, Naruto had matured and was standing face to face with you. I was the one left behind. Yet I didn't change. That's why this time, I tried to catch up to the two of you, in my own way. But Sasuke is no longer the person we think he is and he's far beyond our reach. I've already decided, I'll take care of Sasuke myself.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Kakashi: [To Sasuke] Sasuke... I don't want to keep repeating myself... but I'll say it one last time... do not be consumed by revenge!
 * Sasuke: [Laughs maniacally]
 * Sasuke: [Calmly with rising angrier] Bring me back Itachi... my father and mother. [Shouting] MY WHOLE CLAN! BRING THEM ALL HERE! DO THAT... AND I'LL QUIT RIGHT NOW!
 * Kakashi: ...I don't want to kill you.
 * Sasuke: [With a maniacal grin on his face] Do you really think you can kill me at any moment you wish? Stop acting like you're still my sensei! Go ahead and try something if you like, I'm just itching to kill you, Kakashi!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: Naruto... I told you before... how can you... with no parents or siblings... possibly understand me? You never had anyone! [Glares hatefully at Naruto] So shut up, you outsider! Not long ago... I finally got my revenge on the one behind Itachi's betrayal! I took down a high-ranking Hidden Leaf elder right here, the one called Danzo. I've never felt like this before... I can feel the tainted Uchiha name becoming cleansed, I feel the Uchiha at last being freed from this rotting shinobi world. You couldn't even begin to understand it. And besides, isn't what I'm doing exactly what you Leaf shinobi have wanted all along? You've always snubbed and put down the Uchiha clan, so I'll simply help erase the Uchiha from your memories; by killing all of you and then destroying the Hidden Leaf Village! Severing all bonds with the Hidden Leaf will be the ultimate purification and that shall lead to the Uchiha's true restoration!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: [After Naruto tells him that he will die with him] Just what in the hell do you want from me?! Why are you so fixated on me?!
 * Naruto: [Smiles softly] Because... you're my friend.

 * Dan Kato: You sure got big, Choza.
 * Choza: I'm about to get a hell of a lot bigger.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Zabuza: I should have been sent to hell after your group finished me on that bridge. Next thing I know, I'm standing next to Haku. And I thought something was off... I guess this really isn't hell... or heaven.
 * Kakashi: No, this is the real world. And none of you belong here anymore.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Shikamaru: We already heard your last words once. Don't say them again, it'll be a real downer.
 * Asuma: Then let me add to them with something I couldn't say back then: I've got nothing more to say to you three. Your Ino-Shika-Cho formation was perfect.

<hr width="50%"/> [While Sasuke in pursuit of Edo-Tensei Itachi Uchiha and asking him questions]
 * Sasuke: Why was I the only one?! Why was I the only one to survive!?
 * Itachi: ...
 * Sasuke: Why only me?! Why am I so different from our parents!? Why just me...
 * Itachi: You didn't know anything about what was happening at that time... You didn't know anything about the Uchiha Clan's foolish idea... You were just a child. Furthermore, it wasn't for your sake alone... I also thought that I should be judged for the crimes I committed by an Uchiha like you... and for that sake, I used the hatred within you... and that's why I failed. The only thing I did was given you the hatred and making you flee from the village... and as a result, I turned you into a criminal. I wished that you would somehow walk on the right path... and yet... From the moment I died... You are walking on the wrong path... You were enticed into a straight path without branching roads. I wanted to rewrite the indications on your path with lies and efforts.
 * Sasuke: You wanted me to walk on that path while I was ignorant about the truth?! I don't want to walk on such a path!
 * Itachi: Yeah... Just as you said... You have to decide the path you wanted to walk.
 * Sasuke: No matter how you write the indications on that path, I can still see through the changes already!
 * Itachi: Heh...
 * Sasuke: What's so funny!?
 * Itachi: [Thinking of Naruto] ...Nothing... Not just indications guide you on the path you walk...
 * Sasuke: [Confused] Huh?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Itachi (Sensing Sasuke as he confronts Kabuto): Hmph... Things never go as planned... Do they?
 * Sasuke: You always lied... You always told me "later" and "next time"... And then you died. So this time... I'll make sure you keep that promise!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: I guess anything I say now would be pointless... When I saw you... I decided to follow you here to confirm whether or not what Danzō and Tobi told me was true or not. But that wasn't the only reason... When I'm with you I remember the way it used to be. I remember time spent with the brother that I looked up to... that I loved. That's why... The closer I get to you... The more I'm able to recall what those days felt like... And the more I'm able to understand you. The more I'm able to hate Konoha for the suffering they put you through. In fact, it's becoming even stronger than before. I do understand what you want me to do. It's probably because you're my older brother that you feel the need to put me on the right path. But it's probably because I'm your younger brother that I'll never stop, no matter what you say. As you'll always exist to protect the village... so will I to destroy it. Goodbye... brother.

 * Obito: (I... Am I... ...regretting what I've done?!)
 * Naruto: You told me... that you were no one. That you didn't want to be anyone.
 * Naruto: (flashback) Who the hell are you?!
 * Tobi: (flashback) No one. I didn't want to be anyone.
 * Naruto: Remember? But you are actually just like me... You also wanted to become Hokage...
 * Obito: That's... the past that I threw away! My naive self!
 * Naruto: Putting a mask on doesn't change anything. No matter what words you use... The fact that you are "Obito Uchiha" will never change!
 * Obito: There's no meaning in that name anymore... I'm not a person anymore. I'm a guide who will lead people to the next level... The Second Sage of the Six Paths.
 * Naruto: No. You're Obito Uchiha. Obito Uchiha...someone just like me. You never knew your parents, and lost someone who was precious to you... And you know what solitude is... That's why you wanted to become Hokage and earn people's acceptance! Same as me! But now... Look at yourself! We had the same dreams once, but now you've become the exact opposite of the Hokage!
 * Obito: No... What I'm doing is no different than the job of the Hokage. In fact, I've gone a step further... I can make peace a reality, after all.
 * Naruto: Is that really what you think?
 * Obito: Yes, that's true... There's no reason to force yourself to walk down a dangerous path that doesn't even have an end in sight. You'll end up trampling over the corpses of your allies. If there were another path that was faster, with a clear end, everyone would choose it.
 * Naruto: What are you talking about...? I don't want to know how to walk down some easy path! I want to know how to walk down the dangerous one!
 * Obito: Would you still say the same thing... if they both ended at the same point?
 * Naruto: Who taught you that one path was dangerous in the beginning? You won't really know for sure until you walk down this path! The Hokage is the person who walks in front of everyone and bears all the pain! He'll never have to walk over the corpses of his allies! There's no such thing as an easy path for someone who becomes the Hokage! Once you become one, there's no turning back! Right?! The path you're walking down is the path of running away! That's why I can't let you keep going and drag everyone else into it! Come over to my path, as Obito Uchiha, as a ninja of the Hidden Leaf, and make up for what you've done!
 * Obito: No. I abandoned Obito Uchiha. I'm---
 * Naruto: Stop trying to hide yourself! You are you! Stop running! Come over to our side!
 * Obito: (straining) Wh... What are you?! Why are you confusing me?! I... finally got this far... I'm not running... I'm not in the wrong---
 * Naruto: Stop trying to hide yourself!!!
 * Obito: I'm not hiding... I'm... I'm... I'm...! I'm...!!!

[Frustrated by this, Naruto punches Obito to snap out of his refusal.]
 * Naruto: (in form of Young Obito) What are you afraid of? (reverts back to his normal self) You should get it by now! You've already found the answer inside of yourself!
 * Obito: I'm---
 * Naruto: Stop trying to act tough! Stop hiding yourself!
 * Obito: I'm---
 * Naruto: You're Obito Uchiha from the Hidden Leaf Village, who wanted to become the Hokage! My dad, Kakashi-sensei, and I won't abandon you! We've...
 * Rin: (flashback) We've been watching you the whole time! Why did you push yourself when you're this hurt? Come on! You can't just act tough and hide your wounds! You can't be so stubborn all the time. Obito... You said you wanted to become the Hokage, right? Then saving yourself means saving the world! Right? Do your best, Obito! I believe in you! Become the Hokage and save the world in a really cool way!
 * Naruto & Rin: Let's go!
 * Naruto: Don't betray what's really important to you, what's still there, deep in your heart... Whatever's connected to that isn't the you that's here right now... You get it, don't you? You are...

 * Black Zetsu: You... you're just a piece of the Shinobi history I created and nothing more! A useless brat like you could never---!
 * Naruto: Shinobi history is made up of all sorts of Ninja's lives, and death's too. Many of them taught me what it means to be a shinobi. The pain of sadness and death, the tragedy of war. And not only that, they taught me the joy of being accepted and being loved. The way they lived and the way they died, they made me who I am today. They taught me and they trusted in me. You're a brat who can't even fly from the nest! [Naruto grabs Black Zetsu to permanently seal him] IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET OVER YOURSELF!!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: You guys!
 * Kakashi: So it's done?
 * Naruto: Sealing complete! And now it's happily ever after! The end!
 * Sakura: You're right, great news! The first thing that I want to do is take a hot bath to wash off this sweat and grime. [for a short moment, she becomes flabbergasted and screams in shock] AAAHHH! WAIT A SECOND! WHAT ABOUT US?! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF THIS TIME-SPACE?!
 * Naruto: (flabbergasted) WAAAAHHHH!!!!! YOU’RE RIGHT!!!!!!! THIS IS BAD!!!!!!!!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: Hey! Guys! Were you lonely being separated from me like that?! I sure did miss you!
 * Kurama: Quit yelling so loudly! I wasn't lonely! You have half of me inside you, remember?!
 * Hagoromo: Just look at Kurama, all embarrassed and flustered.
 * Kakashi: Naruto caused Obito's change of heart. He restored Obito back to himself.
 * Hagoromo: Yes, I see. Then I shall be sure to ask Obito to tell me that tale in the other world. Wait, is he still...?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: Dad, I...
 * Minato: Oh, that's right. There is something I have the meaning to tell you... Happy birthday, Naruto. You've really become a splendid shinobi. You know that?
 * Naruto: Yeah. Thank you.
 * Minato: We were in existence outside of the rules. So we can't just remain in this world forever. This is goodbye. I promise you that I'll tell Kushina everything.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: (starts to cry) Anyway, not everything that Mom told me about that well, but I always tried to do the very best than I could, you know! I've got dreams, too! I'm gonna be an even greater Hokage than you, Dad! I swear I will! Tell Mom when you see her over there that she doesn't have to worry about me even a bit! Tell her I'm doing my best! (crying)
 * Minato: Don't you worry. I'll make sure that I'll tell her about everything.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: I suppose so... But before that... I executed the Five Kages inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
 * Kakashi: Sasuke! Are you still planning on getting revenge?!
 * Sasuke: While it's true I once desired destruction... and the only goal I had was revenge... things are different now. Because that which is destroyed can always be fixed and rebuilt. Villages freed from the clutches and employ of darkness... what I desire is to reform the entire shinobi world! What I am calling for, what I am bringing forth... that is... Revolution. [claps his hands and uses Planetary Devastation on the Tailed Beasts] Catastrophic Planetary Devastation!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: You know where we need to go, right?
 * Sakura: The truth is... I've always known in my heart, there was nothing I could have done for you. But I love you! No matter what's happened, I still care for you more than I can bear... If I could had taken all your pain... onto myself to comfort you, I would have... and here we are again, and still, all I can do is to sit down and cry. I'm so pathetic...! But, Sasuke...! If I still have a place in your heart, no matter how small it may be... Then please... I'm begging you, don't slip away any further...! If we just stayed together... forever... Then I'm sure... Someday, things would go back to how they used to be...
 * Sasuke: You really are still incredibly annoying. [Sasuke puts his Genjutsu on Sakura]

<hr width="50%"/> [during the final battle]
 * Naruto: We've taken a lot of responsibilities upon our shoulders. But you see, I...
 * Sasuke: (flashback) You're one of the ones I want to fight the most.
 * Naruto: ...I actually do want to fight against you. And I want to win fair and square. Although not against the current you! But you already know that, don't you, Sasuke?!
 * Sasuke: (This fight with you right now... will be my last. Indra's Arrow. Currently the most powerful Jutsu in my arsenal. Just die! Just begone already!)

<hr width="50%"/> [Sakura wakes up from Sasuke's Genjutsu]
 * Kakashi: You're finally awake.
 * Sakura: It's dusk already... Where are Naruto and Sasuke?
 * Kakashi: They're fighting for their final battle right now. In order to... settle things for good.
 * Kurama: Hang in there. It's not much what I got some chakra--- Huh?
 * Sasuke: This is just one of the many abilities... of the Rinnegan. As somebody who possesses the power of the eye, my victory is inevitable. (Now... Now I can finally... be alone...) Goodbye, my one and only... friend!

[Before Sasuke could finish off Naruto, Naruto counterpunches Sasuke's final attack, sending him flying]
 * Kurama: That was a nice counter. You noticed that his visual prowess had weakened.
 * Sasuke: (enraged) Over... and over and... Over... and over... and over and over and over and OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! JUST GIVE UP AND LET ME CUT YOU DOWN ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Naruto: Sorry, can't do that. Because I am your one and only friend.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: Naruto... Just disappear already... and take my bond along with you!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: (flashback) You wanna go, you loser?!
 * Sasuke: What's this?
 * Naruto: (flashback) Sasuke, if you and I fight each other, we both... will die.
 * Sasuke: Am I dead?
 * Naruto: Everything feels strange, so... Yeah, that must be what happened. Well... probably.
 * Sasuke: Pitiful, huh? You had the Tailed Beast, and I had the Sharingan. We were ostracized by the villagers and treated like outcasts. We both resented the village, and everyone living in it. Right? You can't say that I'm wrong. You said I was like your brother, and in that sense, maybe we were brothers.
 * Naruto: No, you're completely wrong! Damn it! You don't get it, do you?! Sorry, Granny Tsunade. I know that I promised I wouldn't die until... I became Hokage. [later becomes flabbergasted] OH NO! THE INFINITE TSUKUYOMI! THIS IS BAD! THE RELEASE JUTSU CAN'T BE ACTIVATED WITHOUT US BEING THERE, RIGHT?!
 * Sasuke: You're dead, and you're worried about what happens to the rest of the world?
 * Naruto: YEAH, OF COURSE! WE CAN'T LEAVE THINGS LIKE THAT!
 * Sasuke: Sakura and Kakashi are still there. They'll figure something out.
 * Naruto: I sure hope so.
 * Sasuke: Naruto! The Hokage, huh...?

<hr width="50%"/> [After the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke]
 * Naruto: You've finally come to, huh? As you can see, if either of us moves too much, we'll bleed out and die.
 * Sasuke: Why would you go that far? Why do all that, just to get in my way? I gained the power needed to enter the darkness, and sever all ties. Naturally, everyone tried to cut ties with me, too. Except you... You've never attempted to cut me off...
 * Naruto: (flashback) I'm the only one who can handle all that hatred. Do you understand?
 * Sasuke: Why do you keep on involving yourself with me?
 * Naruto: You know that already. I mean, come on, don't you? Your body cannot move but your mouth's sure gonna---
 * Sasuke: Just answer me!
 * Naruto: Because you're my friend.
 * Sasuke: (flashback) I have had enough! What are you?!
 * Naruto: (flashback) I'm your friend, Sasuke!
 * Sasuke: (flashback) Just what in the hell do you want from me?! Why are you so fixated on me?!
 * Naruto: (flashback) Because you're my friend.
 * Sasuke: You've told me that before. But what exactly does that mean to you?
 * Naruto: You asked me to explain it, but honestly, it's not like I really understand it either. It's just... when I see you... take on stuff and get all messed up, it... kinda... well, hurts me. It hurts... so much... inside that I cannot just leave you alone, you know? Although right now, I'm in a ton of pain everywhere, inside and out.
 * Sasuke: [narrating] Back then, that's when I wondered if your weakness was beginning to rub off on me. Afterwards, every time I'd see you, I think more and more about you, seeing you desperately trying to bond with others. You made me remember my own family. But I don't know why. But I felt relieved. Yet at the same time, I considered it a weakness. I trained hard, as if to escape that weakness, in order to get stronger for my brother, in order to get my revenge, yet I ended up on the same team as you. I began thinking about my family again. Completing missions with you, while you jabbered on and on becoming the Hokage... I saw both of us getting stronger, and... I started wanting to battle with you too someday. And I began to see a shadow of my own family in Team 7. That's why every time I saw your suffering... Yeah... that's right... I, too, felt pain... When I understood you're hurt... I finally saw you as a comrade... and conversely... I couldn't leave you alone. You are getting stronger and stronger. I'm watching you keep getting stronger, I...
 * Naruto: Back then, I... I always knew that you were alone, too. All I really wanted to do was to come up to you and start talking... I got so giddy, but... I never did. Because I was jealous, you were so good. At everything. So I decided to make you my rival. And from that day on, you've been my goal. At the beginning, I had nothing but I built bonds. I wanted to be strong like you, cool like you, I guess that's why I kept chasing after you.
 * Sasuke: [continues narrating] ...It was the opposite. I was the one who was jealous of you. You had a strength that I didn't have... You were always walking in front of me... Just like my late brother... And even today, too.
 * Itachi: [flashback] You'll have to take care of Sasuke.
 * Naruto: [flashback] I was always gonna do that.
 * Itachi: [flashback] I was right to believe that you could finish this.
 * Sasuke: These are... Naruto's memories...?
 * Naruto: [multiple flashbacks] And my future dream is: To be the greatest Hokage!! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody. Somebody important! To be Hokage, you have to be the greatest of all the Leaf. You have to prove yourself so everyone believes in you. So you better make sure that you’re ready. There’s no easy way to becoming Hokage! Don't underestimate me! I don't quit and I don't run! Well, all right! I don't care if I do get stuck as a Genin for the rest of my life! I'll still be Hokage someday! And I don’t go back on my word! That's my Nindo – my Ninja Way! It's because unlike you, that's my dream! Just watch someday, I'll be Hokage! To be Hokage, that is my dream! Until the day I became Hokage, whatever happens, there's no way I'm gonna die! And I will become the greatest Hokage of them all! That's my dream and I won't give up on it, you fool! The Hokage is the person who walks in front of everyone and bears all the pain! He'll never have to walk over the corpses of his allies! How could I ever be Hokage if I can't even save one friend? Isn't that right, Sasuke?
 * Sasuke: [starts to realize why Naruto has always dreamed to become the Hokage all along as well as overcoming the obstacles] Naruto...? Everything you've gone through until this moment...?
 * Itachi: [flashback] However powerful you are, don't take it all on yourself. You do share your father's dream, right? Then never forget. Becoming Hokage isn't to get acknowledged. Only those who acknowledged to become Hokage. Never forget your friends.
 * Sasuke: Brother... [Naruto's friends begin to appear on Sasuke] I see. Well then... Show me.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: (wakes up) Where are we? Hold on. Don't tell me it's really Heaven this time?
 * Sasuke: (wakes up) Since we fell asleep, I slept the whole night through. I failed to die yet again.
 * Naruto: (grunts) Guess it's too soon for you to move! [Sasuke starts laughing] What's so funny?
 * Sasuke: We're all messed up... and you still want to fight?
 * Naruto: Damn right! Whatever it takes!
 * Sasuke: I admit it... that I've... I've lost.
 * Naruto: IDIOT! DON'T YOU GET IT?! THIS FIGHT ISN'T ABOUT WINNING OR LOSING AT ALL! IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT PUNCHING A SULKING FRIEND TO MAKE HIM SNAP OUT OF IT, AND THE REAL MATCH THAT I WANT COMES AFTER DOING THAT!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: No way. Your dying isn't going to settle things, if you're willing to die, then live and help me instead! What I want to do is... get all the shinobis to cooperate, and that definitely includes you!
 * Sasuke: Just because you want that doesn't mean the others will.
 * Naruto: Damn it! Go ahead! Keep whining and sulking! I'll hit you again!
 * Sasuke: Also, there's no guarantee I won't oppose you.
 * Naruto: Then I'll just stop you again. Besides, I know you won't do that anymore.
 * Sasuke: How can you be sure?
 * Naruto: Look, don't make me repeat myself! Come on, are you seriously not getting it now? Come to think of it, you were always pretty dense!
 * Sasuke: Just knock it off. Shut up, you loser. [Naruto starts laughing]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Naruto: That's great, Sakura. Thank you.
 * Sasuke: Sakura... listen... I'm sorry... about everything...
 * Sakura: [to Sasuke, crying] You're just in time... you idiot!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: [narrating] We used to be alone, starving for love, children who were festering with hatred, we went our separate ways, and fought, but Naruto... you never cut me off. You just kept getting closer to my heart. Even though it would have made sense for you to attack me with hatred, you told me I was your friend. And no matter how much I hurt you, you accepted me as one. I was only saved thanks to you. We used to do nothing but quarrel, and now we can feel the pain of each other's hearts. And this isn't just between us. It may be something that can be said in a much larger scope.
 * Kakashi: To be perfectly honest, you should have been thrown in jail for what you did. The reason you were pardoned is because you made a great contribution to stopping the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but don't forget that me being the Sixth Hokage and Naruto's appeals were a big part of that as well. Don't do anything too crazy anymore, or else I'll have to take responsibility for it.
 * Sasuke: Yeah. Sorry about that.
 * Sakura: Do you really have to go?
 * Sasuke: Now, I want to know how the Shinobi World, how this world looks to me.
 * Sakura: Uh... What if... I asked you if I could come along?
 * Sasuke: This is also a journey of repentance. You have nothing to do with my sins.
 * Sakura: [groaning] Nothing to do with them, huh? [Sasuke starts poking Sakura's forehead]
 * Sasuke: See you later. Thank you.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Sasuke: But how? You still have that?
 * Naruto: I'm giving it back.
 * Sasuke: How about I keep it... until our next battle?
 * Sasuke: [narrating] But I could never do things like you could. It was never that easy for me. That emotion felt like a prayer... I'll just have to bear this until I can really do it. And the ones who have been tasked with that... are us... ninjas.
