Season 1

Enter: Naruto Uzumaki! [1.01]

Third Hokage: I hope you're not bothering me with some trivia and don't tell me it's Naruto again.
Hinata: Naruto, do your best.
Naruto: Transform! [transforms into a sexy woman, giving Iruka a nosebleed] Gotcha! That's my sexy Jutsu!
Iruka: CUT THE STUPID TRICKS! THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!
Naruto: Me, Naruto. The next Hokage, a ninja legend! Then everyone will have to stop disrespecting me and look up to me, believe it!
Iruka: [protects Naruto from Mizuki] I know that's how you feel, Naruto. You feel lonely and it hurts inside, and I could have been there for you more.
Iruka: That is how beasts are, but that's not who Naruto is. He's nothing like that. Naruto is one of a kind, works hard, puts his whole heart into it. Sure he messes up sometimes and everyone jumps on him, but his suffering only makes him stronger. That's what separates him from being a beast. So you're wrong. He's nothing like the nine tailed fox. He's Naruto Uzumaki of the Village Hidden in Leaves.
Mizuki: You really believe that drivel? Iruka, I was going to save you for later but I changed my mind. You're finished! [attacks]
Iruka: So this is it. [Naruto saves him] Naruto!
Mizuki: Not bad for a little punk.
Naruto: If you ever lay a hand on my sensei... I'll kill you!
Mizuki: Such big words. I can completely destroy you with a single move.
Naruto: Take your best shot, fool. I'll give it back to you a thousand fold!

My Name Is Konohamaru! [1.02]

Third Hokage: [To Iruka in regards to Naruto and the Village] How it must feel... so much hatred and hostility... to be treated with an animosity so intense as to be annihilating... to have around you many who would deny you even the right to exist...
Third Hokage: When the people reject someone's every existence and then look at that person, their eyes become cold, cold as an ice storm in the deepest winter.

Sasuke and Sakura: Friends or Foes? [1.03]

Naruto: [About Sasuke] Why are they so obsessed with him? Sasuke, Sasuke! What's the big deal with this guy?!
[After accidentally kissing Sasuke, Naruto nervously turns his head]
Naruto: [weakly] It was an accident! I swear!
Sakura: [Cracks her knuckles, shaking with fury] Naruto... YOU MAKE ME SICK!
Naruto: [whispering] Why are you...?
[Soon after, Naruto is seen with smoke rising from his hair, a bruised and swollen face, and scratches all over his body]
Sakura: [Inner Sakura] Ka-ching! True love conquers all!

Pass or Fail: Survival Test [1.04]

Naruto: I got him! He totally fell for it!
Sakura: I'm sorry, Sensei. I told him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen! [Inner Sakura] Perfect shot!
Sasuke: He actually fell for that cheap trick. Is he really a Jonin?
Kakashi: Hmm...how do I put this? My first impression of this group...you're a bunch of idiots!
Kakashi: I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate... I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future... never really thought about it. As for my hobbies... I have lots of hobbies.
Sakura: That was useless. All he really told us was his name.
Kakashi: Okay your turn. You on the right, you first.
Naruto: I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like instant ramen in a cup, like the ramen Iruka sensei got me at the Ichiraku Ramen shop. But I hate the three minutes to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. My hobbies are eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the next Hokage! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important.
Kakashi: Well he's grown up in a very interesting way. Alright, next.
Sakura: My name is Sakura Haruno. What I like... I mean the person I like is... [looks at Sasuke] My hobby is... [looks at Sasuke] my dream for the future is... [Looks at Sasuke]
Kakashi: And what do you hate?
Sakura: Naruto! [Naruto is shocked]
Kakashi: Girls her age are more interested in boys than in ninja training. Last one.
Sasuke: My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I am going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone.
Naruto: Gee, I hope he doesn't mean me.
Sakura: Sasuke is so hot.
Kakashi: Just as I thought.
Sakura: If I fail I'll be separated from Sasuke. This is a trial of love.
Kakashi: [To Team 7] Well a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way.
Naruto: The only weird thing here is your haircut!
Kakashi: Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu... 1000 Years of Death!
Kakashi: A ninja must see underneath the underneath.
Naruto: I get it!
Kakashi: I'm telling you this because you don't get it, and you think you get it, which isn't the same as actually getting it. Get it?

You Failed! Kakashi's Final Decision [1.05]

Kakashi: [Regarding Sasuke] They say that the nail that sticks up is the one that gets hammered down.
Kakashi: You pass!
Sakura: What do you mean? How did we pass?
Kakashi: You're the first squad that ever succeeded. The others did exactly what I said and fell into every trap. They couldn't think for themselves. "A ninja must see through deception". In the ninja world those who break the rules are scum, that's true. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum!

A Dangerous Mission! Journey to the Land of Waves! [1.06]

Kakashi: [To Naruto] You can't demolish the client, Naruto. It doesn't work that way.
Sasuke: [To Naruto] You're not hurt are you? Scaredy cat.
Kakashi: [To Naruto] Naruto, that was really cool how you took the poison out and all, but if you lose any more blood, you're going to die. Good idea to stop the bleeding now...seriously.

The Assassin of the Mist! [1.07]

Kakashi: I will not allow my comrades to die.

The Oath of Pain [1.08]

Zabuza: When I was your age, this hand had already crushed many opponents.
Kakashi: Zabuza, the demon.
Zabuza: So I was in your book too, huh?
Zabuza: Ah, Shadow Clones. And there's quite a few of them.

Kakashi: Sharingan Warrior! [1.09]

Kakashi: Water style: giant vortex jutsu! [releases a giant water vortex]
Zabuza: Impossible! I was just about to create a vortex, but he created one first! He copies my jutsu before I can even do it! I can't keep up!

The Forest of Chakra [1.10]

The Land Where a Hero Once Lived [1.11]

Kaiza: If you care about something, protect it, no matter how tough, no matter how sad, you've got to keep trying. Even if you have to put your life on the line, protect it with both arms, never give in.
Naruto: I'll prove that... that it's true. That in this world, there are no real heroes.

Battle on the Bridge! Zabuza Returns! [1.12]

Haku: Is there somebody who's precious to you?
Naruto: Someone who's... what are you saying sis? What do you mean precious? What's she thinking?
Haku: You see, when a person has something precious that they want to protect, then they become genuinely strong.
Haku: Oh, by the way... I'm a boy.
Naruto: HUH?! NO WAY! HE'S PRETTIER THAN SAKURA!
Kakashi: [Talking to Inari about Naruto] He wants to be respected. That's his dream. And he'll put his life on the line for that... in a heartbeat. My guess is he just got tired of crying and decided to do something about it. Even though he's young and still learning, he knows what it means to be strong, just like your father did.

Haku's Secret Jutsu: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals [1.13]

Kakashi: [On Haku and Zabuza, seeing through Haku's tracker ninja disguise] They look pretty chummy to me. I'd say they've been pulling scams like that for a long time.
Sakura: He's got some nerve facing us again after a trick like that!
Kakashi: And hiding behind a mask. Who does he think he's fooling?
Sakura: Speak for yourself, Sensei!
Sasuke: That's it. I'm taking him out.
Sakura: Huh?
Sasuke: Who does he think he's fooling, hiding behind that mask like some sort of clown?
Sakura: Sasuke! You're so cool!
Kakashi: [Thinking] Wait a sec, didn't I just say that? She'll never change...
Naruto: When you're happy, it's okay to cry.

The Broken Seal [1.16]

Sasuke: Naruto, don't let... your dream die.

White Past: Hidden Ambition [1.17]

Haku: There is only one person who matters to me, and I live to protect and serve him. That is my purpose. To show mercy to those who oppose the one you serve, to allow his enemies to live when you could strike them down, this is not compassion. It is a betrayal of your life's very purpose. For what reason do you exist then? You're of use to no one. Your life has no meaning. It is mere existence. Day after day of pain and struggle signifying nothing.
Naruto: Yeah well speak for yourself.
Haku: Are you really that blind, little one? I am speaking of myself. This day has shown that I am no longer of any use to Zabuza.
Naruto: Zabuza. Why that guy anyway? Do devote your life to a rotten skunk who doesn't know the meaning of the word honor. If he's really the one person that matters to you... Man, that's the sorriest thing I've ever heard.
Haku: There were once others who mattered to me long ago. My father and my mother. I was born in the Land of Water in a small village where the snow lies deep in the winter. My parents were farmers and very poor. Our life was hard but we were content. My parents were good to each other and kind to me. Yes we were happy once. But then everything changed. Because of something that happened long before I was even born, everything changed.
Naruto: What do you mean? What was it? What happened?
Haku: It wasn't my doing. It is in my blood.
Naruto: Blood? So what was it? You said something happened that changed everything!
Haku: It was my father who changed. He killed my mother and he almost killed me. [Naruto is shocked] After years of suffering the horrors of civil war, the people of my land had come to fear and hate anyone who carried the Kekkai Genkai in their blood.
Naruto: Kekkai Genkai?
Haku: The advanced bloodline trait of a clan. Its jutsu and abilities passed down from generation to generation. Because of their unique abilities the clans were used as mercenaries. They fought in many battles and were much feared. But when the war was over they were despised and shunned by the people who feared their presence would only bring more war and misfortune. So it was that after the wars these clans went into hiding, denying the bloodline trait that flowed in their veins, concealing their unique abilities, knowing that to be discovered meant certain death. [on Sasuke] If you had searched that boy's memories, I'm sure you would have found it there too. The cruelty of people, the fear of things they don't understand. For years my mother was successful in hiding her bloodline trait. She met and fell in love with a simple farmer and they were married. And after that my mother thought she would lead a peaceful ordinary life to the end of her days. [Flashes back to awakening his powers to his mother's horror] My father had seen so he knew our secret, my mother's and mine. [Flashes back to his father murdering his mother, only to be killed by Haku's power] When at last I was myself again, I was no longer myself. My father and mother were gone, but I knew that something else had been taken from me, something even more important. And that is when I truly despaired.
Naruto: More important than your mother and father? What?
Haku: My purpose. In all of the world there was no one who needed me. I was unnecessary.
Zabuza: I warn you, friendship, comfort and encouragement...I do not need these things, nor should you expect them from me.
Kakashi: [To Zabuza, talking about the Lighting Blade] No, it's time I introduced you to my own jutsu.
Haku: I am a broken tool, a blunted weapon of no use to anyone. Go on Naruto, do it. For both our sakes do it, quickly.

The Weapons Known as Shinobi [1.18]

Zabuza: [when Haku sacrifices himself] I knew I'd found a treasure when I found you, boy. You've not only given me my life, but Kakashi's as well!

The Demon in the Snow [1.19]

Zabuza: Well well, Kakashi. It would seem our fight is at an end. Since I am no longer in Gato's employ, Tazuna's safe. We have no quarrel.
Kakashi: Yeah, I suppose you're right.
[Gato starts abusing Haku's corpse]
Naruto: Get away from him you scum!
Kakashi: Hey stop, use your head.
Naruto: Well what about you, Zabuza? You gonna let him do that?
Zabuza: Be quiet you fool. Haku's dead. What does it matter?
Naruto: What? You mean you could just stand there and watch him get treated like a dog? You and Haku were together for years! Doesn't that mean anything?
Zabuza: You don't understand the way of shinobi. I merely used him just as Gato used me. Now it's over. His usefulness is at an end. The loss of his strength and skill, yes that means something to me. But the boy, nothing.
Naruto: If you mean that, you're an even bigger rat than I thought.
Kakashi: Okay that's enough. Calm down Naruto. He's not the enemy. Not right now.
Naruto: Shut up! As far as I'm concerned, he's enemy #1! Why you... you ungrateful... after everything he did for you! [with every sentence he flashes back to Haku] Haku lived for you! You were the most important thing in the world to him! And he meant nothing to you? Nothing at all? While he was sacrificing everything for you, you never felt anything at all for him? And if I become stronger, does that mean I'll become as coldhearted as you are? He threw his life away! And for what? For you and your dream! You never let him have a dream of his own, but he didn't care. And you just tossed him aside like he was nothing, a broken tool! Man, that's so wrong. So wrong!
Zabuza: [revealed to be crying] You talk too much. And your words, they cut deep, deeper than any blade...
Gato: If you're so eager to join your friend, go ahead, but you're not taking me! Not this time!
Zabuza: I won't be joining Haku. Where he's gone, I cannot follow.
Gato: Stay back! Stay back!
Zabuza: We wouldn't be welcome where Haku's gone to. Hell is where we're going, Gato! I can't think of a more fitting destination for a demon ninja, can you? I'm told there are many demons down there of all shapes and sizes. Oh yeah, I should fit right in. You on the other hand, Gato, well I fear. You're in for a long and very painful eternity! [kills Gato and turns to Haku's corpse] So this is goodbye at last. Not once did I ever thank you Haku. Forgive me for that. [starts dying]
Kakashi: [To Naruto] Don't turn away. When you live like a warrior, this is how it ends.
Zabuza: [last words, seeing snow falling] Is it you, Haku? Are you weeping? Thank you Kakashi. [to Haku] You were always at my side. The least I can do is to be beside you at the end. I know it cannot be, but I wish I could go to where you have gone. How I wish I could join you there, Haku.
Naruto: [crying] He told me where he came from, it was always snowing all the time.
Kakashi: Of course, his spirit was as pure as the snow. You never know, Zabuza. Maybe you will join him there. Who's to say?
[After Zabuza and Haku's burial]
Sakura: Is that really it, Kakashi sensei? Is that the ninja way? To use and be used by people like tools?
Kakashi: Shinobi are all merely tools in the hands of destiny. No point in wondering whether it's right or wrong. It just is. It's the same in the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Naruto: Well if you ask me, if that's what being a ninja is all about, something's out of whack. Is that why we go through all this training? Just to end up like them?
Sasuke: What is the reason for that?
Kakashi: Well, it's a question without an answer. And that is something we ninja have to deal with every day of our lives, like Zabuza and the kid.

A New Chapter Begins: The Chunin Exam! [1.20]

Kakashi: [To Team 7] Sorry I'm late, I'm afraid I got lost on the path of life.
Kankuro: I don't like runts or any other scrawny weaklings. So when a wimp like this starts shooting off his mouth, I just wanna break him in half.
Gaara: You're a disgrace to your village.

Identify Yourself: Powerful New Rivals [1.21]

Rock Lee: [to Sakura] Please be my girlfriend! I vow to protect you with my life!

Chunin Challenge: Rock Lee vs. Sasuke! [1.22]

Rock Lee: I want to fight right here and right now.
Rock Lee: I do not try to hide or disguise my moves. I do not have to. Even if you can read them, you cannot stop them. You are too slow. Your eyes may be quick enough to stay one step ahead of me, but if your body cannot keep up, what good does it do you? You know what? There are two different kinds of ninja: those like you who were born with talent and do not have to work at it, and those like me, the ones who have to train every day of our lives!
Rock Lee: You are so good to me, Guy sensei.
Guy: Now take off! I want you to give me 100 laps around the practice field. Show me what you've got.
Rock Lee: Yes sir! No problem.
Guy: Run into the setting sun. Run and suffer! But don't mess up your hair!
Sakura: They're insane.
Naruto: Probably.
Guy: Look into my eyes and accept my sincere apology. Also notice my handsome manly features.

Genin Takedown! All Nine Rookies Face Off! [1.23]

[Naruto has offended an entire room of genin]
Kiba: Uh...can you say that again a little louder? Didn't quite catch that.
Shikamaru: You moron! Are you trying to get everybody in this place to hate our guts or what?
[Naruto chuckles; Sakura puts him in a strangle hold]
Sakura: NARUTO, YOU JACKASS! Why'd you always say something like that? YOU OBNOXIOUS LITTLE...!

The Tenth Question: All or Nothing! [1.25]

Ibiki: Those who choose the safer of two paths, those whose determination falters in the face of adversity, those who would put their comrades' lives in jeopardy by worrying about their own, those who would save their own necks at the price of sacred honor... will never be able to call themselves chunin! As least as long as I'm here.
Anko: You ready for the 2nd test? Good! Then let's go! Follow me!
Ibiki: You're early again.
Sakura: Great. Screaming nutcase. She reminds me of Naruto.

The Chunin Exam Stage 2: The Forest of Death [1.27]

Anko: [To Naruto] Tough guys like you usually leave their blood all over this forest.
Dosu: We have only one target. Stay focused on it.

Eat or Be Eaten: Panic in the Forest [1.28]

Sasuke: A ninja waits until the time is right. When the enemy sleeps and drops his guard. When his weapons lie forgotten in the stillness of the night. That is the moment for a ninja to strike.

Bushy Brow's Pledge: Undying Love and Protection! [1.31]

Zaku: I thought for sure that would work. Do you think she saw the paper bomb we put on the squirrel?
Dosu: No, that wasn't it.
Zaku: Than what was it, what are you thinking?
Dosu: I'm thinking we need to go closer and find out, so let's get going.
Rock Lee: If I can catch all 20 of those leaves before they hit the ground, then Sakura will fall in love with me.
Ino: [about Neji] What?! He should have been bowled over by my beauty!
Dosu: Some lookout, you're half asleep. At least you don't have to keep watch anymore, what's the point after we've already found you?

Sakura Blossoms! [1.32]

Sakura: Okay, no more caving. Now it's my turn to take the lead. And all of you can watch me from the background.
Sakura: [to Ino] You like Sasuke too? So I guess that means we're rivals from now on.
[flash forward]
Ino: Well well, looks like someone's grown her hair long.
Sakura: Looks like I'm not the only one.
Ino: If you think being on the same team as him is gonna make him like you, you're wrong!
Sakura: Face it Ino. I'm gonna win.
Ino: Oh you think so? Sakura, I will never let you beat me no matter how hard you try.

Battle Formation: Ino-Shika-Cho! [1.33]

Zaku: Better a live sheep than a dead lion, right fatso?
Ino as Kin: I don't understand you guys, what kind of monster would attack their own teammate?
Zaku: I guess, monsters like us.
Dosu: You see, we don't play this game by your rules, it's not the scrolls we're after or even passing this test.
Ino as Kin: What then?
Dosu: Sasuke!
Shikamaru: [his shadow possession jutsu wears off] I hate it when it does that.
Dosu: So your paralysis jutsu has a pretty limited duration, I see.
Shikamaru: Shadow possession jutsu. Get your jutsu right.
Zaku: Did you really think you could beat us? Face it, you ninja are a bunch of hacks!
Dosu: From a second rate village.
Neji: That's pretty tough talk. I guess that makes your village third rate. I wonder if any of you amateurs are ready to take on the real thing.
Dosu: What?
Sakura: It's Lee's team. I wondered when they'd get here.
Tenten: Lee!
Neji: You blew it.
Dosu: These genin keep popping out of the woods like cockroaches.
Neji: It looks to me like somebody used our teammate as a punching bag. No one does that and gets away with it.
Dosu: Those eyes... He's not just looking at us, he's seeing through us!
Sasuke: [under Cursed Seal, to Sakura] Sakura, who did this to you? Who was it?
Dosu: Those marks, they're all over his body.
Sakura: Sasuke, what's happened to you?
Sasuke: Don't worry, I'm all right. It's only the power flowing through me. In fact I've never felt better. He gave me this gift and he made me understand what I am. I'm an avenger. To follow my path I must have power at any price, even if it means being consumed by evil.
Dosu: For the moment we are even, but if it should happen that we ever meet again in combat, I promise you we won't run nor hide.

Akamaru Trembles: Gaara's Cruel Strength! [1.34]

Shikamaru: That Naruto is completely out of the loop.
Choji: So far out of the loop, he doesn't even know there is a loop.
Rock Lee: Sakura, the lotus of the Leaf Village blooms twice. When we meet again, I will have become a stronger ninja.
Gaara: They looked at me the wrong way, so they're going to die.
Kankuro: This is exactly why I didn't want to be stuck in the forest with him.
Shigure: If you think you can kill us, then try it. [throws umbrellas into the sky] And now, ninja art, senbon rainstorm! [the umbrellas rain needles]
Hinata: A rainstorm of needles!
Shigure: Up down left right... no matter where you go I can get you. There's no blind spots in this jutsu and it's deadly accurate. Child's play.
[Gaara uses his sand shield to block every single needle]
Gaara: Is that all you can do?
Shigure: It can't be. Not one wound. Impossible! All right. [tries again but fails]
Gaara: A senbon rainstorm huh? I have an idea, let's make it rain blood instead.

Season 2

Surviving the Cut! The Rookie Nine Together Again! [2.02]

Guy: I see your team didn't do too bad, Kakashi. They must have gotten real lucky. Of course with my team still around, your team is doomed to failure. After all, what matters on the next test is ability, and we've got you far outclassed. Well, I guess that part of growing up is learning to deal with heartbreak, huh, Kakashi?
Kakashi: Did you say something?
Guy: Grr... Alright Kakashi, you win this round. Boy, that drives me nuts when he acts so cool! There's no way I'm gonna let you get the best of me!

Narrowing the Field: Sudden Death Elimination! [2.03]

Sasuke: Naruto, you are one of the ones I want to fight the most.

Kakashi and Orochimaru: Face-to-Face! [2.05]

Shino: While an ace in the hole is good, two aces are better.

Kunoichi Rumble: The Rivals Get Serious! [2.06]

Ino: I mean, how sad is it if flowers don't even bloom? For all we know that bud, it might become a flower even more beautiful than the cosmos.
Ino: Sorry, that head of yours is so empty that I mistook it for a vase and thought I'd put flowers in her. It's aconite, a shinobi flower. I guess it isn't really that poisonous but still, you might want to spit those out when you get a chance.

The Ultimate Battle: Cha! [2.07]

Tenten: It's not because they're girls, you know.
Ino: Guess you finally got a flower to bloom, a beautiful flower.

Killer Kunoichi and a Shaky Shikamaru [2.08]

Tenten: I was planning to save this for the finals, not waste it on a preliminary round, but it may be now or never.
Temari: [To Tenten] Wasn't really much of a match. Kinda boring.
Temari: Oh beat it... and take that sack of garbage with you.
[Shikamaru has just hit Kin with his Shadow Possession Jutsu, forcing her to replicate his movements]
Kin: So we mirror each other's movements, so what? A cute trick, but what do you gain by it?
Shikamaru: Man you're annoying. Shut up and watch.
[The two of them take out Shuriken. Shikamaru grins ominously]
Kin: You must be insane! If you throw that shuriken at me, you'll just be attacking yourself!
Shikamaru: Makes it kind of interesting, doesn't it?
Kin: You wouldn't! You couldn't!
Shikamaru: Yeah? Like a game of chicken, let's see who ducks first!
Kin: You're crazy!
[They throw their shuriken at each other. At the last moment, Shikamaru leans backwards, out of the shuriken's path]
Kin: Big deal! I'll do that too! [leans back, causing her head to crash into the wall behind her, knocking her out]
Shikamaru: And that's what I call using your head!

Akamaru Unleashed! Who's Top Dog Now? [2.09]

Naruto: Don't take it personally if I blow you away.
Kiba: That's just what I was going to say! Only not so politely. Right Akamaru?
Naruto: Oh yeah? Well talking is easy. Let's see what you've got to say at the end of the match!
Kiba: Little squirt.
Naruto: Wait a second, are you kidding me? What's the puppy doing here? He's just going to get in the way!
Kiba: Deal with it. I never go into battle without Akamaru.
Kiba: [to Naruto] And how are you going to do that? By lying flat on your face? I've got news for you. I'm going to be Hokage.

Byakugan Battle: Hinata Grows Bold! [2.11]

Neji: People can't change no matter how hard they try. They can't run away from their true nature. A failure will always be a failure.
Neji: If you don't forfeit the match, you know what will happen.

A Failure Stands Tall! [2.12]

Neji: So that's it huh? That's all there is to the main branch's power?
Naruto: [Talking about Hinata] I never knew Hinata was this incredible.
Rock Lee: She's very similar to you.
Sakura: Oh yeah... she was always watching you.
Naruto: Huh?
Neji: I can tell you're barely standing. You've been carrying a very heavy burden having been born to the main branch of the Hyuga clan, and you've cursed and blamed yourself for being weak. But look, people can't change the way they are. That's just how it is. Just accept defeat and you won't have to suffer anymore.
Hinata: No, you're wrong, brother. You've got it backwards. You see I can tell that you're the one. You're suffering much more than I.
Neji: I'm what?
Hinata: You're the one who's all torn up about the fate of the main and side branches of the Hyuga clan.
Hayate: Neji no! The match is over!
[All the Jonin stop Neji]
Guy: Neji, get a hold of yourself. You promised me you wouldn't let this whole head family thing get you riled up.
Neji: Why are you and the other Jonin butting in? The head family gets special treatment, huh?
Neji: Hey you! Loser! I have two pieces of advice for you. First of all, of you intend to call yourself a shinobi, stop that stupid cheering of yours, it's disgraceful. And second, Once a failure, always a failure! You can't change that!
Naruto: We'll just see about that. [Neji smirks, causing Naruto to charge at him, but Lee stops him] What are you doing?
Rock Lee: Naruto, I get where you are coming from, believe me. But the rules say all fighting must be done officially in a match. The loser beating the gifted genius through sheer willpower, now would that not make for an exciting match even if I am the one who is going to have to fight Neji? Of course if you ended up fighting him, that is fine too.
Naruto: Alright fine, you win, Lee.
Rock Lee: How was that, Guy sensei?
Guy: Good one Lee. Nice going!
[Hinata coughs blood and Kurenai takes her pulse]
Kurenai: Oh, no. She's going into cardiac arrest. [glares at Neji] Was he really trying to kill her?
Neji: [smugly] I wouldn't waste your time glaring at me when you really should be taking care of her.

Gaara vs. Rock Lee: The Power of Youth Explodes! [2.13]

Kankuro: You know, you seem like a nice guy, I like you.
Naruto: Well don't take this the wrong way, but I don't like you.
Kankuro: [Thinking] This kid is toast!
Rock Lee: It worked like a charm! I knew if I said I wanted to be last, I would be next. I simply applied the principle which states that sometimes the surest way to hit something is to stop trying to hit it. It is a form of reverse psychology.
[Lee lets his training weights fall]
Temari: Come on, you really think you'll be able to get through Gaara's defenses just by dropping a couple of pounds of weight?
[The weights smash large craters in the ground, shocking everyone]

Lee's Hidden Strength: Forbidden Secret Jutsu! [2.14]

Tenten: I want to be a great and powerful ninja, to walk in the footsteps of the legendary kunoichi Tsunade!
Rock Lee: If I cannot do 1200 jump ropes without a mistake, then it is 2000 kicks! 1116, 1117, 1118-
Guy: Lee! Taking a break already?
Rock Lee: What is it, Guy Sensei? If it is about my messing up on the last assignment, I said I was sorry.
Guy: Lee, It's true you're different from Neji and the others. You have no gift for Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, and your Taijutsu needs work. But then again, you have a gift that Neji doesn't have, not as flashy, but perhaps even more important.
Rock Lee: You do not have to make me feel better.
Guy: You idiot, you think I'd waste my time with that? All I'm saying is that you have the gift of perseverance, and that's what makes you a genius too.
Rock Lee: But is that true sensei? I wonder. I used to think so. I used to believe that if I just trained harder than Neji, 2 or 3 times harder, I would make myself strong enough, but now I am not so sure. I do not know if I will ever be able to work hard enough to be real talent. That is why I'm always taking out Neji. I keep thinking all of my efforts will pay off, but it's always been the same, I'm no match for him at all. Every time we have a ninja mission my legs begin shaking. I don't know if I can take it. Sometimes it seems like the whole thing is pointless. Like I am a loser and I will always be a loser. I do not know what to do.
Guy: You're right. All the effort is pointless if you don't believe in yourself!
Kakashi: [To Might Guy] I don't know what this boy means to you, Guy, but I shouldn't have to tell you that we never bring our personal feelings into play. I didn't think you were capable of it.
Rock Lee: Neji...Sasuke...and...[Naruto's face appears in his mind] I am not going to be the only one to lose here! Guy-sensei, please let this work! It is now or never! The Third Gate! Gate of Life, Open!

The Fifth Gate: A Splendid Ninja is Born [2.15]

Guy: The Hidden Lotus. A Taijutsu combination of such blinding speed that no one can defend himself against it. Not even Neji. Gaara's sand shield is useless.
Rock Lee: Now to finish it! Hidden Lotus!
Kakashi: [To Might Guy] Guy...what I said earlier, I was out of line. I was being a self-righteous fool. I realize now that if I'd been in your shoes, I probably couldn't have stopped him, either.

Long Time No See: Jiraiya Returns! [2.18]

Jiraiya: It is I, the Toad Mountain Sage!
Jiraiya: [To Naruto] You ruined my peeking! I mean my research!
Jiraiya: [To Naruto] I like them ripe and luscious with curves like that, see? And big, but not too big, know what I mean? If you bring me something like that, I will train you 'till the cows come home!
Naruto: You will? No lie?
Jiraiya: The Toad Mountain Sage never lies!
Naruto: You got it! Wait here.
Jiraiya: [seeing hot women] Too bad kid. It's not like we had a contract really. Oh ladies! Can you show me the way to town? [later] Then I said "Not with my rice bowl you don't".
Woman: That's a funny story.
Jiraiya: It's funny yes, but it's not just a story. Every word of it is true.
Woman: What happened next?
Naruto: Hey pervy sage! I'm back!
Woman: Did he call you pervy?
Jiraiya: Worthless little runt! I told you not to call me that!
Naruto: [brings a watermelon instead of a sexy woman] Look I got you one, just the way you like em! A ripe and luscious one with curves!
Jiraiya: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, YOU MORON!
Jiraiya: I am not a little pervert!
Naruto: Oh, yeah? Then tell me, what are you?
Jiraiya: [Lets out a huge laugh] I'm a big one!

The Summoning Jutsu: Wisdom of the Pervy Sage! [2.19]

Dosu: What do you think is faster, your sand or my sound?
Jiraiya: [To Naruto] You really have absolute zero talent, don't you kid?

A Feeling of Yearning, a Flower Full of Hope [2.20]

Sakura: Me, I'm going to bring him a single daffodil, a noble flower that bravely endures the long months of winter then blossoms forth as a sign of spring.

Live or Die: Risk it All to Win it All! [2.21]

Jiraiya: [Preparing to put Naruto's life in danger] Please forgive me for what I am about to do, Fourth Hokage.
Third Hokage: It doesn't matter what you do if you live and die as you like, however, no matter what route you end up taking, remember to protect the people that are precious to you.

He Flies! He Jumps! He Lurks! Chief Toad Appears! [2.22]

Gamabunta: [When asked why he appeared by Naruto] That's the very same question I want to ask that pervert!

Hospital Besieged: The Evil Hand Revealed! [2.23]

Gaara: If you get in my way I'll kill you.
Gaara: A demon huh? My demon is as real as yours is. From my birth, my upbringing was not what most people would consider a happy one. To ensure that I became the strongest of Shinobi, my father had cast his ninjutsu on me, infusing my unborn self with the sand spirit. I destroyed the life of the woman who had given birth to me. I was born a monster. Its name is Shukaku and it's the living incarnation of an old monk of the Sand Village who'd been sealed up in a jar of tea.
Shikamaru: Yeah some kind of demonic jutsu. But to use it on a baby before it's even born? Man that's creepy.
Naruto: Could it be true? He's got one inside of him too?
Shikamaru: [sarcastically] Gee what a swell guy your dad must've been. He really must have loved you a lot.
Gaara: You speak of love? Don't measure me by your standards. Love. Family. The only emotional ties I have to my family are the ones I'd like to wrap around their necks. They're only ties of hate. Given life by the death of my mother, I was brought into being and nurtured as the salvation of the village. I was the Kazekage child. My father taught me the innermost secrets of the Shinobi. He pampered and protected me and left me to myself. For a time I thought that was love. And that was when everything started.
Shikamaru: When what started?
Naruto: What was it? Are you gonna tell us or not? So go on. What started? What was it?
Gaara: In the 6 years since I became 6 years old, my father tried to destroy me more times than I can count. [they shudder]
Shikamaru: You just finished saying how your father pampered and protected you. So which is it?
Gaara: Those who get to be too strong are apt to become feared. The jutsu that gave me birth had unbalanced something in my mind. Even the fools in my village finally realized I had emotional problems. My father the Kazekage had created me as his ultimate weapon. But I eventually became a threat to the very village I was meant to save. By the time I was 6, I became a figure of terror to the villagers. To them I was a relic of the past that they wished would disappear. So you see, I had failed at the one purpose for which I was given life. What then was left for me in this existence? Why go on living? For a long time I couldn't find an answer to that. But in order to live you need a purpose. To exist for no reason is the same as being dead.
Shikamaru: What is this guy talking about?
Naruto: I know just what he means exactly. He's... he's the same as me.
Gaara: Then in time the answer came to me. To put it simply my reason for living is in the killing of others. For years I lived in fear of those who were sent to murder me, but now I am at peace. I killed many would be assassins. And it was while I was doing it that the truth was made clear to me. I live solely for myself. I love only myself. As it was the death of my mother that first gave me life, now it is the death of others that sustains me. That makes me happy to be alive. And there's no end to it as long as there are still people to kill in this great wide crowded world.

The Final Rounds: Rush to the Battle Arena! [2.24]

Hinata: Remember that time when you cheered for me? I felt like...like I was able to become stronger than ever. When the preliminaries ended I was finally able to start liking myself a little. To anybody else it might look like absolutely nothing's changed about me, but I feel different, like I'm a better person now. And I've been thinking that it was all thanks to you Naruto.
Naruto: Hinata. You really... do you really believe that's true? I may look strong to you, but all I ever do is mess things up. I act tough because I'm so frustrated. But underneath it all I just feel like I'm a huge failure.
Hinata: No that's not true! Even when you messed up you were always a... um... How can I say this... a proud failure from my point of view. When I look at you, you fill me with such... such admiration. I'm not saying that you're perfect, I mean no one is. But when you do make a mistake you have the guts to pick yourself up and keep trying. I think that courage to keep going no matter is what true strength is. I just think you're an incredibly strong person, Naruto.
Naruto: Thanks Hinata, I needed that. Even though I'm completely used to being the underdog, I get this time I was just really feeling the strain. I was really down, which isn't like me at all. I feel 100% better now.
Hinata: I'm glad you do.
Naruto: All right I'm off to the match. Thanks again. Hinata. I always thought you were, um...
Hinata: [thinking] What? What?
Naruto: Gloomy, timid, always terrified, and basically completely weird. [Hinata slumps her shoulders in disappointment] But you know what? I actually like people like you... ["people like you" echoes in Hinata's mind]

Byakugan vs. Shadow Clone Technique! [2.25]

Neji: There is only one destiny we all share equally... death.

Ultimate Defense: Zero Blind Spot! [2.26]

Neji: Fear. That is what we live with. And we live with it everyday. Only in death are we free of it.

A Failure's True Power [2.27]

Naruto: After all you said about how you can't fight your destiny, you don't really believe in it either, do you?
Neji: Why fight a hopeless battle trying to defy your destiny?
Naruto: Cuz people called me a failure. I'll prove them wrong!
Naruto: When I become Hokage, I'll change the way of the Hyuga clan after I become Hokage!
[They clash, creating a large explosion with 2 craters]
Genma: Man, that's some chakra the kid's got. Never seen anything like it. No Way that Hyuga kid could've...
Sakura: But which one's Naruto?
Ino: Don't ask me, I don't even know what happened just now.
[Neji climbs out]
Tenten: That's the secret of Neji's rotation technique. It not only blocks any attacks, but it turns the energy of an opponent's own chakra against him, and Naruto went right into it. There's not a genin alive who can beat Neji. But still, I've got to hand it to you Naruto, you came closer than anyone ever has.
Neji: Sorry but this is reality. You're a failure. This match is over. [the defeated Naruto is revealed to be a shadow clone and the real Naruto pops out of the ground to knock Neji out] I can't move.
Genma: He used his clone as bait and waited for his chance to get Neji. Even when he was getting pounded into the ground, he never stopped planning his next move. He never lost faith in his ability to win. Naruto knows instinctively that believing in yourself can give you the power to change your destiny. And on top of that he's got one hell of a left hook.
Neji: I should've guessed you'd use that shadow clone jutsu. It's your specialty after all. I was careless.
Naruto: For the record, I failed the graduation exam 3 times because there was this one jutsu that was always on the exam and it tripped me up every time. It was the one jutsu that I just couldn't master. My clones were pathetic. That's right, I flunked the shadow clone jutsu every time. [Neji is shocked] So don't come whining to me with this destiny stuff. And stop trying to tell me you can't change what you are. You can do it too cuz after all, unlike me, you're not a failure.

Hit it or Quit it: The Final Rounds Get Complicated! [2.28]

Genma: Even a caged bird was smart enough, and will be able to figure out how to open the door to its cage with its beak. The dream of flying and breaking free is too great to resist.
Hizashi: For a long time I have resented the Head Family. To tell the truth, even now I'm bitter. I'm not doing this because you're a part of the Head Family. I want to die protecting you because you're my brother, Hiyashi.
Neji: [Looks out the window] Father, I wish you could see these birds flying. They're finding their freedom too.

Zero Motivation: The Guy with Cloud Envy! [2.29]

Shikamaru: It really doesn't make a whole lot of difference to me whether I ever become a Chunin or not, but I guess maybe I shouldn't let myself be beaten by a female, so let's do it.
Shikamaru: So why do I always have to fight girls? It sucks man.
Ino: Yeah, go Shikamaru! Use a super awesome technique on her and take that bitch down!
Shikamaru: [watching clouds] Ah, sometimes I wish I was a cloud just floating along, going wherever the breeze takes me.
[Shikamaru has trapped Temari with an extremely clever strategy]
Temari: I don't believe this. The whole time I thought I was keeping out of range of his shadow jutsu when really I was walking right into it. Amazing. This slacker clown outsmarted me.
Asuma: The next move is checkmate.

Bushy Brow's Jutsu: Sasuke Style! [2.31]

Kakashi: Did you say something?
Guy: Oh! You make me so mad, Kakashi! Why do you always have to act so cool?

Late for the Show, but Ready to Go! The Ultimate Secret Technique is Born! [2.32]

Guy: The secret of its jab is in the speed with which it is delivered and the ninja's ability to focus his chakra at the point of impact. Once these two elements, speed and focus have attained a certain level, the chakra actually becomes visible and gives off the distinctive sound that you hear, like birds chirping. It is this sound that gives the technique its name: Chidori, 1000 birds!
[Sasuke uses Chidori to penetrate Gaara's sand shield]
Kankuro: That's impossible. No one can penetrate his defenses.
Temari: No way.
Baki: I don't believe it.
Fourth Kazekage: Excellent.
Third Hokage: That technique, it's Kakashi's.
Guy: Also known as lightning blade.
Sakura: But why's that?
Guy: It got its name because Kakashi once used it to cut a bolt of lightning in half before it could touch the ground.
Sakura: Wow, cutting lightning in half.
Ino: Yeah right. These old guys and their war stories.
Guy: But whether called thousand birds or lightning blade, it's a weapon of unimaginable power, requiring almost inhuman levels of speed and chakra. But once perfected, it transforms a ninja's arm into an indestructible and invincible sword. A dangerous technique, not to be taught lightly.
Kakashi: Yeah you're one to talk. [Turns to Rock Lee] Right, Lee?
Gaara: Its so warm and wet... Mother, what is it...? BLOOD! IT'S MY BLOOD!

Zero Hour! The Destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village Begins! [2.33]

Tayuya: You're all sweaty too. So gross.
Jirobo: Come on, we're all friends here right?
Orochimaru: This petty little battle game ends now. From this point on, the course of history will change.
Orochimaru: I find it very interesting to watch things in motion. I get no pleasure when the world is still, like a windmill that isn't turning. I suppose some might find it beautiful even if it's immobile, but to me, such a thing is truly boring. So now I want to put things in motion myself. The first step is crushing the Leaf Village.

A Shirker's Call to Action: A Layabout No More! [2.35]

Shikamaru: [Thinking as he prepares to sacrifice himself to help Sakura and Naruto escape] All I really wanted was to be just an average shinobi making an average living. I'd marry a regular girl who's not super pretty or super ugly, have two kids, a girl and then a boy, retire when my daughter got married and my son became a successful ninja, and then just spend the rest of my days playing Shogi or Go, a nice carefree and leisurely retirement, and then I'd die of old age before my wife. Yep, that's the life I wanted, and yet I ended up exerting myself. It's so unlike me. Even though I wanted to finish as just a regular guy, I had to go and get myself into this sticky situation.

An Unrivaled Match: Hokage Battle Royale! [2.36]

Orochimaru: [summoning the First and Second Hokage to fight the Third Hokage] Have you ever felt the joy and fulfillment of humiliating and destroying the one you once called sensei? No I suppose not. Perhaps vicariously you'll get a hint of what I mean. Just a taste, before you die.
Enma: [seeing Orochimaru] You fool, Sarutobi. You should've killed him when you had the chance.

A Mistake from the Past: A Face Revealed! [2.37]

Orochimaru: The immortality jutsu. A technique for eternally recycling one's spirit on Earth. In a way, it's a kind of revival jutsu. You find a body, a young body, pour your spirit into it, and make it your own. I was using my old familiar form until now because I wanted our reunion to be a nice nostalgic one, sensei. Growing old is a sad empty thing. I only have to look at you to be reminded of that. You will die here old man, while I move on to another stronger body. But first I really must thank you and all the Leaf Village for preparing my next body so well.
Third Hokage: Now I understand. It's Sasuke Uchiha.
Orochimaru: Exactly. You guessed it. It's Sasuke I want.
Orochimaru: [To Sarutobi] What nonsense! In the grand scheme of time, you're nothing more than a trivial footnote in the brief history of a cluster of huts called the Leaf Village! In time, the Hokage Stone Faces will crumble and be worn down to nothing...
Third Hokage: [To Orochimaru] Hmph, you've never understood that it's far more than a mere 'cluster of huts'. It is a place where every year, Shinobi are born, raised, grow old, fight, and die to protect their home. These people are precious to me. We share a home, we share a life, and though we may not share ties of blood... they are precious to me! They are my family!

Forbidden Secret Technique: Reaper Death Seal! [2.38]

Orochimaru: You know how the game of chess is played... pieces must be sacrificed!

Astonishing Truth! Gaara's Identity Emerges! [2.39]

Shino: When we fight, no matter how puny our opponent is, we don't mock them. We face them with full strength.
Gaara: Leave me alone, Temari. Go away. You're nothing but a nuisance. Beat it! [Smacks her into a faraway tree] I don't need you.
Kankuro: He wanted me to attack so he could get his creepy crawlies to infest Crow's body. Now they are going after my chakra puppet strings. Why? Right. I forgot those things eat chakra. My strings are leading the bugs right to me. [severs strings]
Shino: He severed his chakra strings himself.
Kankuro: What a sucker. He doesn't know I can reestablish control over my puppet with a blink of an eye. It's what makes me an expert puppet master. And so what if Crow's body is out of commission? I don't need his body. Every part of him is a lethal weapon. [To Shino] Looks like you underestimated me, bug boy. For the last time! There's enough poison on that to drop an elephant, so you're dead.
Sasuke: I have no idea what scheme you sand village clowns have got going but I'll stop it, no matter what it is. Besides I'm dying to see what you really are.
Temari: [seeing him beginning to transform] Gaara no! Oh no. It's happening. Any second he's going to let that thing out. No, not now! No Gaara! remember our mission!
Gaara: We're so alike, Uchiha. I don't have friends as you have, but they're not what makes you strong. It's your purpose that does it. In that way we're alike. But mine is the stronger purpose. For only by destroying you and all that you represent can I even prove that I exist. Only by killing you can I know what life is.
[Flashback]
Sasuke: What is it?
Kakashi: I sense a trace of bloodlust in the air. Alright come on out. [Gaara emerges] So it's you.
Gaara: Tell me, what is your true purpose? Why is it that you seek power?
Sasuke: Like it's any business of yours. Beat it. You're interrupting my training.
Gaara: I see it. You have the eyes. Eyes that seek power and will do anything to get it... even kill. Eyes full of hate like mine. We're the same.
[Present]
Gaara: You. You are my... You are my prey! My prey!

Assassin of the Moonlit Night [2.41]

Gaara: [looks at his heart] But lately I've felt a lot of pain here.
Yashamaru: [Cuts his finger] Wound your body and the blood will flow, following fast on the heels of pain, but as time passes the pain eventually fades away. With the help of medicine it can heal even faster. But even more dangerous is a wound dealt to the heart, because there is nothing that has more trouble healing.
Gaara: A wound to the heart?
Yashamaru: Wounds to the heart are a little different from wounds to the flesh. Unlike an injury to the body, there is no medicine for a wounded heart, and sometimes it never heals. But don't worry. There is one thing that can mend a broken heart, but it's a very complicated remedy. It can only be administered to you by another person.
Gaara: So then what am I supposed to do?
Yashamaru: There's one thing that can heal the heart, only one. It's love, Gaara.
Gaara: Love?
Yashamaru: You've got it.
Gaara: But how am I supposed to get rid of it? What is it I have to do to get rid of this pain?
Yashamaru: Don't you know, Gaara? It has already been given to you. Love is a heart's desire to serve someone precious to you, to watch over them, to care for them, like my sister did for you.

Naruto's Ninja Handbook [2.43]

Sasuke: I don't ever want to have to see that again, my trusted comrades falling right in front of me.

Beyond the Limit of Darkness and Light [2.44]

Third Hokage: [To Orochimaru while dying] My one regret is that I couldn't take you with me. Farewell disciple, may we meet again in the next world.
Third Hokage: [Last words] Where the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again tree leaves shall bud anew.

The Third Hokage, Forever... [2.45]

Naruto: It's almost unbearable, isn't it? The feeling of being all alone. I know that feeling, I've been there, in that dark and lonely place. But now there are others, other people who mean a lot to me. I care more about them than I do myself, and I won't let anyone hurt them. That's why I won't ever give up. I will stop you, even if I have to kill you.
Gaara: But why? Why would you do this for anyone but yourself?
Naruto: Because they saved me from myself. They rescued me from my loneliness. They were the first to accept me for who I am. They're my friends.
Enma: [About the Third Hokage] A fitting end for one who had mastered the way of the shinobi.
Jiraiya: [To young Tsunade] Aw just shut up you flat chested cutting board!
Hiruzen: It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Your instructors tell me you're among the most playful of their students, always full of fun. You're very brave. It's hard to hide sadness behind laughter.
Iruka: [As a child] What makes you think I'm sad about anything?! It's a noble thing to die in the line of duty, right? My parents gave their lives to protect this place from the fox demon. I'm the son of heroes. How can I be sad when they died that way?! I'm not even sad because they went and left me all alone. If I cry, it's 'cause I'm proud.
Hiruzen: It's all right, Iruka. I know that somewhere inside of you, there's a boy curled up in a ball of pain. But remember this, you are not alone. Inside every ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village burns the Will of Fire.
Iruka: The Will of Fire?
Hiruzen: It's what gives us the strength to defend our village. It's the unbreakable bond that ties us all together. It's what makes us a family. I wonder, do you have it yet, young as you are?
[Back to present, Kakashi is at the Memorial Stone as Yugao arrives]
Kakashi: Are those for Hayate? Better make it quick. The Hokage's funeral has already begun.
Yugao: And you, Kakashi? Paying respects to Obito? Instead of constantly inventing new excuses for being late, why don't you simply come here earlier?
Kakashi: I did, I've been here since dawn. This place makes me think about the mistakes I've made in the past... and I've made so many of them.
[Everyone takes turns paying their respects to the Third Hokage and remembering the times they shared with him]
Naruto: Iruka sensei, why do they do it? Why do people risk their lives for other people?
Iruka: Well, when someone passes away it's the end. His past and future, all the dreams he once had, they disappear along with him. This is true even if he dies honorably in battle as so many have, as Hayate did. All the ties that bind him to the living are severed, all but one, the most important of all: people. Parents, siblings, friends, lovers... the people who were important to him. And these people, the ones left behind, are joined together in a great circle by their shared memories of him, a circle of friendship, trust, and sacrifice that grows larger and stronger as time passes. It's hard to explain it. We remain in the circle together. We have no choice. It's important to us.
Naruto: So we do it because we have to. I get it, sort of. Still I'm sad he's gone.
Kakashi: Think how sad it would be if he died for nothing. But he left us something priceless. Don't worry, you'll understand one of these days.
Naruto: Hey give me some credit, that much I get.
Sakura: The rain, it stopped.
Naruto: Bye Iruka sensei, see you later.
Iruka: All right. Do you see it, Lord Hokage? The will of fire is stronger than ever. The sparks you left behind have kindled the flame among the young leaves on the next generation, a mighty flame, Lord Hokage. It will burn brightly and it will shine its light up on our village and keep it warm and safe for many years to come, and someday out of that flame will come a new Hokage.
[Overlooking the Leaf Village]
Kisame: Well it survived, but barely. The damage is extensive.
Itachi: Not long ago it was at the height of its glory. Look at it now.
Kisame: [scoffs] You sound almost sad. Don't tell me you still have feelings for your old home?
Itachi: No. None.

Return of the Morning Mist [2.46]

Kisame: [about Asuma] This guy is getting on my nerves. Can I kill him?
Itachi: Well I guess we're not going anywhere without a fight. Just try not to overdo it. Your moves tend to stand out.
Kisame: They're as good as dead.
[Kisame attacks Asuma while Kurenai vanishes]
Itachi: I see, genjutsu.
Asuma: He's bearing down with just the edge of his sword. His strength is unreal.
Kisame: [his sword is revealed to be covered in dermal denticles] My massive blade, Sharkskin. It doesn't slice, it cuts to ribbons!

Eye to Eye: Sharingan vs. Sharingan! [2.47]

Kakashi: You're not the only ones, are you? There are seven more of you out there searching, hunting. I know all about you. You call yourselves the Akatsuki right?
Asuma: Akatsuki?
Itachi: Kisame, we'll take Kakashi, but we don't need the others. Get rid of them.
Might Guy: [intercepts Kisame] Severe leaf hurricane!
Kisame: Well, who have we here?
Might Guy: The Leaf Village's fiercest beast of battle, I'm Might Guy!
Kisame: You're Might Guy, huh? Mighty stupid looking Guy!
Itachi: [To Kakashi] I wonder how much of this someone without the Kekkai Genkai can take?

Jiraiya: Naruto's Potential Disaster! [2.48]

Kisame: [on Jiraiya] If we fight him, then both the Uchiha clan and the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist will have their names dragged through the mud.
Itachi: True, but still, even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness.
Sasuke: Is there a dopey looking blonde kid staying here, about my age? He's traveling with an old man.

Season 3

Roar, Chidori! Brother vs. Brother! [3.01]

Sasuke: [Running from Itachi as a child] Please, I don't want to die! [Itachi corners him] Please, don't kill me.
Itachi: You're not even worth killing. Foolish little brother, if you wish to kill me one day, Foster your hatred and despise me, surviving in such an unsightly manner as this. By all means flee. Cling to your wretched life.
Kisame: Hey Itachi, it'll be a pain in the neck if this kid makes a run for it. Maybe I ought to chop off a leg just in case.
Jiraiya: [To Itachi and Kisame] You two don't know me at all, do you? Should've done your homework. Jiraiya the Toad Sage falls victim to no woman's charm! Rare beauties drop for me like blossoms in a storm! It isn't in my nature to be duped by the wiles of women. When you've reached the stature I have, the ladies kneel and worship at your awesomeness!

Hate Among the Uchihas: The Last of the Clan! [3.02]

Sasuke: The only one who's going to eliminate him is me!
Itachi: Go away. You don't interest me at the moment.
Itachi: You're still too weak. You don't have enough hate, and you know something? [leans in to whisper in Sasuke's ear] You never will.
Guy: Dynamic entry! [realizes too late that he kicked Jiraiya]

A New Training Begins: I Will Be Strong! [3.03]

Focal Point: The Mark of the Leaf [3.05]

Orochimaru: The best medicines are always bitter.

An Impossible Choice: The Pain Within Tsunade's Heart [3.06]

Kabuto: She's strong and terrifying. She must be single, no doubt.

Unforgivable! A Total Lack of Respect! [3.07]

Shizune: [to Tsunade] Think about your brother and my uncle. They wouldn't have wanted any part of this!
Tsunade: Playing at Hokage, count me out. It's a fool's game.
Naruto: [To Tsunade] It's because unlike you, That's my goal. Just watch, someday I'll be Hokage. Remember this, to be Hokage, that is my dream.

Inheritance! The Necklace of Death! [3.08]

Jiraiya: [To Naruto] A person who feels nothing at the death of those close to him is no different than a butcher.

Breakdown! The Deal Is Off! [3.10]

Tsunade: [To Orochimaru] You said once that all things on Earth crumble and fade away. I wish that were true. I only wish this feeling would go away.
Kabuto: [on Tsunade] I underestimated her. She shouldn't still be conscious.

Attack! Fury of the Rasengan! [3.11]

Jiraiya: What would I want with the Uchiha kid? Tell me, where's the fun in teaching a boy who's already a genius to begin with?
Orochimaru: How touching. You're drawn to him because he reminds you of your old self, is that it? That brat of yours could never beat Uchiha, born as he was into the Shinobi art of Sharingan. Without Sharingan, poor Naruto hasn't a chance of surpassing him. A shinobi's strength rests upon his ability to obtain and master all the jutsu of this world. The very reason we are called ninja is because of the many ninjutsu arts that we wield.
Jiraiya: You're wrong, that's not what makes a shinobi. You never did get it. A real ninja is one who endures no matter what gets thrown at him.
Kabuto: Little kids think life is so easy. That's why they're always going on and on about their dreams. That's why they never give up. They go chasing after some stupid dream and they die.
Naruto: That's enough! I'm not gonna run away. I never go back on my word! That's my nindo, my ninja way!
Kabuto: You should have stayed out of this Naruto. [hits him]
Tsunade: What are you... What are you doing?
Naruto: [gets up] All right grandma.
Kabuto: Still haven't had enough?
Naruto: Get ready to pay up on our bet. That cursed necklace of yours is about to be mine. Shadow clone jutsu!
Tsunade: Shadow clones can't help him here. Enough! Naruto, you don't have to protect me. Stop already!
Kabuto: [charges] I warned you not to be stubborn. Now you die! Now you've thrown it all away! Dreams don't come true when you're dead!
Tsunade: Just get out of the way Naruto! No, look out!
Naruto: [grabs Kabuto's kunai with his bare hand] Don't you worry about me. Until I become Hokage, I don't care what happens. Okay, let's see you dodge me this time. Here goes! [his clone helps him form the Rasengan]
Kabuto: He's channeling chakra again like before. No, this is different.
Tsunade: Now I see. He made the clone to gather up his chakra. Ingenious.
Naruto: Compress the chakra, keep it going...
Tsunade: That's impossible!
Naruto: [successfully forms the Rasengan for the first time] Rasengan!

The Fifth Hokage! A Life on the Line! [3.12]

Orochimaru: Tsunade, you are the one person I wouldn't want to kill. Listen to me, if that brat is allowed to live it would mean more trouble than you and your friends could ever imagine. Stay out of my way.
Tsunade: No, you listen to me. If I do nothing else, I will protect this boy.
Orochimaru: Ha, and how do you plan to do that? Look at you, your body is shivering like a leaf in the wind. Besides, why would you, one of the Sannin, risk your life to save a lowly genin?
Tsunade: By saving him I'm saving my home, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
Orochimaru: You really think you're protecting the village?
Tsunade: You see, this boy, this lowly little genin, has been chosen by fate to be Hokage someday.
Orochimaru: What nonsense. Even if it is true, what of it? Who cares about the Hokage? Only a fool would want that job.
Tsunade: [flashes back to what everyone's told her about Hokage] From now on, I'm gambling everything too. I'm putting my life on the line!
Tsunade: [To an Unconscious Naruto] To be Hokage is your dream Naruto, isn't it? One more time, just one more time,[Gently lifts Naruto's head and places the Hokage necklace around his neck] for the last time, I want those words to be true. [Smiles lovingly as her tears fall]

Deadlock! Sannin Showdown! [3.13]

Manda: So Orochimaru, when this is over I'll expect 100 human sacrifices.
Kabuto: If Manda finds out that his master can't use any of his jutsu, he's more than likely to betray us. This was a mistake. No matter how hopeless things looked, he never should've summoned Manda, not in his condition.
Tsunade: Katsuyu, see to the boy. Take him to Shizune quickly.
Katsuyu: Yes milady, at once.
Shizune: There, I'm ready.
Katsuyu: Shizune, please look after the boy. [deposits Naruto] The battle to come promises to be a most fearful one. You and this clone of myself must take the boy somewhere safe and see that no harm comes to him. This is the wish of your mistress.
Shizune: Lady Tsunade.
Manda: I'm going to pop you like a balloon, you dirty stinking toad!
Gamabunta: Then please come on and try it. I've always wanted a snakeskin wallet.
Jiraiya: Orochimaru, you're no longer fit to be one of us. Your evil days are finally at an end.
Orochimaru: One of us? What an insult.
Tsunade: After this there'll be one less Sannin in this world.
Orochimaru: [To Tsunade] I've often wondered what it would be like to wring that pretty neck of yours!
Manda: I'd eat you both right now, but I won't be swallowing solid food for weeks thanks to this hole in my mouth. But if we meet again, well he'd better hope we don't.
Tsunade: Do you see him, Nawaki, Dan? Be at peace, my beloveds. Your dream is still alive.

Tsunade's Warning: Ninja No More! [3.15]

Sensei and Student: The Bond of the Shinobi [3.17]

Guy: There's no doubt in my mind the surgery will be a success. You have the power to shape your own destiny. And on the 1 in 1000- no, 1 in 1,000,000 chance something should go wrong, I will die right along with you. Since I met you, my nindo has been to train you to become the most splendid ninja possible. That's a promise.

Gotta See! Gotta Know! Kakashi-Sensei's True Face! [3.18]

Kakashi: The three of you treating me to lunch? You're not going to drop a big pile of snow on me, are you, or something like that?
Kakashi: [When he sees an advertisement for "Make Out Paradise: The Movie] Wait, my favorite book is going to be a movie? I'd better order tickets in advance!

Mission: Help an Old Friend in the Land of Tea [3.19]

Naruto: [Fighting with Idate] That's nothing! The Hokage would do all that and more and do it twice a day!

The Battle Begins: Naruto vs. Sasuke [3.24]

Shikamaru: [To Choji after Ino leaves] She has no clue. Despite what most women seem to believe, men don't always go for the skinny girls. Most guys I know, they like girls with a little meat on their bones. It just looks healthier. Oh yeah, and the reverse is true too, you know. I'd bet anything she'd be twice as popular if she put on a few pounds instead of starving herself. She should eat.

Bitter Rivals and Broken Bonds [3.25]

Kakashi: [After pinning Sasuke to a tree] Sorry, I knew you wouldn't want to sit still for a lecture, so, I figured I'd have to pin you down. [the Sound Four take notice] Let it go. You've gotta forget about revenge.
Sasuke: [Shocked] What?
Kakashi: Believe me. In this work, I've met a lot of guys who feel the way you do. Trust me. For those who follow the path of revenge, it never ends well. You'll only tear yourself apart. And even if you succeed and you get your revenge, what will you have then? Nothing. Emptiness.
Sasuke: Shut up! What makes you think you know anything about it?! It's easy for you to talk. You have NO idea!
Kakashi: Just try to calm down.
Sasuke: [Angry] Maybe if I was to kill the most important people in YOUR life, everyone who's ever meant anything. Maybe THEN I'd listen to you because maybe THEN you'll have some idea how I feel!
Kakashi: Hmm. It's an interesting theory. But I'm afraid you're a little late to put it to the test. [Smiles softly] Everyone you're talking about has already been killed.
Sasuke: [Eyes widen in shock]
Kakashi: I've been around longer than you have, kid. And I've seen my share of troubles. You're not the only one who knows what it's like to lose somebody... So, it looks like neither of us has led a charmed life, exactly, have we? Still, we're not all that bad off. At least you and I have been lucky enough to find new comrades to help fill the void.

An Invitation from the Sound [3.26]

Naruto: Sasuke would never let a guy like that sink his claws into him. I mean, he's already a total powerhouse.
Sasuke: I knew it... I'm not the same as you. I'm traveling a path the rest of you can't follow. I know that the four of us have worked together, and for a while I thought I could take that path instead. But in the end, I've decided on revenge. That's always been my reason for living. I'll never be like you and Naruto.
Sakura: Don't do this Sasuke. You don't have to be alone. You told me on that day how painful a thing solitude can be. I understand that pain now. I have a family and friends, but if you were gone Sasuke, it would be the same thing for me as being all alone.
Sasuke: This is a new beginning. Each of us has a new path lying before us.
Sakura: Sasuke, I'm so in love with you I can't even stand it. If you would only be with me, I promise I'd never let you regret it. Every day would be a joy. I can give you happiness. I'll do anything for you, Sasuke. So please, I'm begging you, don't walk away. I'll even help you get your revenge. I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen, I swear. So stay here with me. And if you can't then take me with you, Sasuke.
Sasuke: You haven't changed. You're still annoying.
Sakura: Don't leave me! If you go, I'll scream!
Sasuke: [appears behind Sakura and knocks her out] Sakura, thank you for everything.

Formation! The Sasuke Retrieval Squad [3.27]

Shikamaru: [about his mother] From the second I wake up, it's nag, nag, nag...
Yoshino: [answering the door] Now who would be visiting us so early in the morning?
Shikamaru: Hey! Dad.
Shikaku: What is it?
Shikamaru: What on earth made you want to marry such a crabby woman like mom?
Shikaku: That's a good question. Even a crab like your mom can be gentle sometimes. She has her moments.
Shikamaru: [Slightly frustrated] That's the reason?
Shikamaru: For as long as I've known him, Sasuke and I haven't exactly been close buddies. In fact I don't really like him at all. All the same, Sasuke's a ninja belonging to the Hidden Leaf Village. He's a comrade and I'll put my life on the line to help him. That's the way of our village.
Sakura: Naruto, this is a once in a lifetime request. Just bring him home. Please bring Sasuke back to me. I did everything I could. I tried but I couldn't stop him from leaving the village. At this point there's only one person who can stop him, only one who can save him. Naruto, it's all up to you.
Naruto: Well gosh Sakura, you must really care about Sasuke, huh? I get it. I can see that deep down this must be very painful for you. I know you must be suffering.
Sakura: Naruto, thank you so much.
Naruto: Don't you worry one bit. I'm going to bring Sasuke back. I promise that on my life, Sakura.

Sound vs. Leaf [3.28]

[Having found the Sound Four]
Naruto: Well let's go! I'm dying to show these clowns what I've got.
Kiba: Is that right? Hate to disappoint you hotshot, but I've got a new jutsu I've been working on too.
Choji: Yeah me too!
Shikamaru: Alright calm down. First we make a plan and get everything ready...then we nail those bastards.

Squad Mutiny: Everything Falls Apart! [3.29]

Kiba: A wall's a wall and there's no wall I can't punch a hole through!
Shikamaru: Yeah it's worth a try I guess. After all, we have to do something despite the risk.
Kiba: Tunneling fang! [the wall regenerates from his attack]
Shikamaru: The damn wall's rebuilding itself!
Kiba: Hey did you just-
Neji: Yes we saw it.
Naruto: Let us out!
Neji: It appears to be more than just a dirt wall. Byakugan! [scans wall] The wall is...
Shikamaru: It's what? The wall is what?
Neji: Our chakra. It's absorbing it as if it were a sponge.
Kiba: Great. It's not enough that they buried us alive in the oversized dung heap, now they're trying to steal our chakra. You gotta give these guys credit for thoroughness at least.
Jirobo: So you're the leader huh? What a fine example you're setting for the rest of your team. You see a man's true character when he's pushed to the edge of death, but you're hardly a man at all. Certainly not a man who's worthy of leading a team of ninja into battle. Did you really believe I might let you out? You deserve to die.
Naruto: That does it Shikamaru, you dirty little traitor! Let's take this outside, just you and me!
Kiba: What do you mean take this outside? How're you gonna do that you idiot? We're trapped in here.
Naruto: What'd you call me?!
Kiba: I called you an idiot, idiot!
Kiba: I have no idea what's going on but I'm always up for getting wild!

Full Throttle Power! Choji, Ablaze! [3.30]

Jirobo: [To Choji] In every team of five, there's always somebody in the mix who's just dead weight. The guy who's just the butt of everyone's jokes. And when think comes to thin, he gets cast aside like the worthless pawn he is.
Jirobo: Pretty impressive chakra. Not bad, but a far cry from being a main dish.

Your Opponent Is Me! [3.32]

Neji: Naruto, sometimes your eyes are even better than mine.
Tayuya: Listen fatso, don't slow us down so you can eat more. You see that coffin? You're the one who's supposed to be carrying it so do your job you slob!
Kidomaru: I'm going to play a little game to find out which one of you is the real one.

360 Degrees of Vision: The Byakugan's Blind Spot [3.33]

Kidomaru: I know if I take just one direct hit from that gentle fist of yours, my whole chakra network goes out of whack. You keep me on my toes kid.
Neji: That material, where does it come from, you monster?
Kidomaru: Impressive yes? My sticky spider thread is actually a type of metal that hardens the instant it leaves my body. It's impervious to chakra.

Losing Is Not an Option! [3.34]

Kidomaru: What's going on here? How did he... [sees the hole in Neji's shoulder] What gives? How could I miss it by 15 centimeters?
Kidomaru: He has a blind spot immolating from a small point just behind the first thoracic vertebra.
Neji: I cannot lose. Even if my enemy is far stronger. Even if my body should fail me. I cannot lose. There is a reason. I cannot lose!
Neji: He will be saved. It's because, Naruto, you saved me from the darkness.
Kidomaru: [last words] Talking rubbish right up to the end... I haven't been pushed this far since Kimimaro. Curse you...
Neji: Everyone, I leave the rest up to you...

Miscalculation: A New Enemy Appears! [3.36]

Kimimaro: Tayuya, I could end your life right now if I wished to. The reason why I've spared you is because you have a duty that you must complete. And my duty is to deliver that coffin to Lord Orochimaru intact.
Tayuya: But I thought you said it was too late for that.
Kimimaro: You weren't listening. I told you that's the body that Lord Orochimaru desires more than anything else.
Tayuya: It's his next vessel isn't it?
Kimimaro: Exactly Tayuya. And delivering it to him is the only thing that I can do to please him. As for those two pieces of garbage, I leave them to you.
Tayuya: What the? The whole thing was a trick! Teamwork my foot, you dirty conniving little weasels!
Shikamaru: [To Tayuya] You'll have to excuse my bad manners. I'm not normally in the habit of slugging a lady. But then, looking at you, you don't really fall into that category, do you?
Kimimaro: If Tayuya comes back, I'll kill her.
Tayuya: You fool. One little midget, what are you going to do? And also, look what happened. Each time, in order to move forward, you sacrificed one of your members, didn't you? Is that guy Sasuke so precious to you? Just for the sake of one person... how many of your team members are you willing to lose? You mindless worm.

Roar and Howl! The Ultimate Tag-Team! [3.37]

Kimimaro: [when Naruto uses his Shadow Clone Jutsu] There sure is a lot of garbage scattered around here. But trash is just trash after all. It simply needs to be cleaned up.
Naruto: Shut your mouth!
Kimimaro: Come then.
Naruto: I'm gonna crush you!
Kiba: If we miss, we'll have died for nothing. [Akamaru bites him] Akamaru. I must be a lousy master for you to bite me like that. Okay Akamaru, it's just like you said. We're all out of options. Wolf fang over fang it is. Now Akamaru! Do your thing Akamaru. Show em what all that training was for. Dynamic marking! [Akamaru urinates on Sakon/Ukon]
Kiba: [After Ukon fuses with his body] I see. In that case... [Stabs himself] What if I do this?!

To Each His Own Battle [3.38]

Kimimaro: You've only seen one of my dances.
Tayuya: So you figured out I was manipulating them with my flute. You're not as dumb as you look. Not that it'll do you any good. Knowing what I've been doing isn't the same as knowing how to stop me.
Shikamaru: You've got a point there. I never was very musical. Just ask my mom and dad. With that flute she can manipulate her buddies like puppets. That song's comprise dog sequences of modulated sound waves, each sequence controlling a specific movement. Great Shikamaru, you can analyze it fine. But what're you gonna do to counteract it? She's right. The fact remains I've got no ear for music.
Tayuya: No one's ever heard this song and lived.

Fakeout: Shikamaru's Comeback! [3.39]

Shikamaru: It only takes one move for a checkmate.
Shikamaru: There's one rule of Shogi that I always enjoyed the most. Whenever you capture one of your enemy's pieces you can turn around and use it as your own. From here on I attack. I'll use your own three pieces to hunt you down. What do you have to say about that? Shouldn't you be a bit more worried? You could at least pull a knife or something.
Tayuya: This flute is my only weapon. I told you not one person who's heard the sound of this flute has survived, idiot.
Shikamaru: You've got a lot of confidence. [attacks]
Tayuya: Dispel! [the demons disappear] What was that about using my own pieces against me? Loser. It's my move now, you rat. What the? [gets caught by the shadow possession jutsu]
Shikamaru: Shadow possession success. What did I tell you? I'd hunt you down using your own pieces. I used them all right. Your three pawns were just the bait I needed. In any good strategy, the first attack's always a fakeout. The tactic is to score on the second move.

The Leaf's Handsome Devil! [3.40]

Rock Lee: [In the middle of a battle] I am so sorry, but I have to take my medicine at a certain time.
Rock Lee: [To Kimimaro when drunk] What are you staring at, you stupid jerk?

The Beast Within [3.41]

Kimimaro: Well whatever you are I'll snap you out of it.
Rock Lee: I said I'm not drunk. In the first place I'm not even of age. Underage ninjas should not partake in the drinking of sake!
[The Sound Four prepare to stab Lee, Shikamaru, and Kiba]
Kimimaro: Now die!
Tayuya: You're mine!
Ukon: You're gonna die kid! Wipe that grin off your face!
[Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara respectively rescue Shikamaru, Kiba, and Lee]
Kiba: Well what do you know? Looks like we're on the same side.
Tayuya: Who are you?
Temari: Allies of the Leaf Village...
Kankuro: We're shinobi...
Gaara: Of the sand!

The Sand Shinobi: Allies of the Leaf [3.42]

Temari: By the way, you seem a lot dumber than the last time our paths crossed. So are you going to give up again this time? Go ahead, I'll take care of this for you.
Shikamaru: Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not about to give up. And besides, a real man doesn't allow a woman to do his fighting for him.
Temari: Ha. Still being all macho with all the man and woman stuff? You talk tough but I know it's just an act. Idiot.
Tayuya: So this time you're on the Leaf's side, huh? You guys are all over the place, aren't you?
Shikamaru: The sound of the flute summons her genjutsu.
Temari: I got it. Cyclone scythe jutsu! [releases a whirlwind to repel Tayuya]
Shikamaru: She's deflecting the sound of the flute and nailing our opponent with a physical attack. She can attack and defend at the same time. That's a pretty handy jutsu to have.
Tayuya: It's like that girl was born to fight me!
Kankuro: Fair warning. We sand ninja aren't pushovers like our friends from the Leaf. Oh and standing as close as you are to my friend the Black Ant, big mistake.
Kiba: I hated going against the sand ninja as enemies, but as Allies they're pretty amazing.
Sakon: That hurt. You take over, brother. Let me rest in this body a bit.
Ukon: You're so pathetic, Sakon.
Kankuro: I can't retreat after he's underestimated me!
Temari: Excuse me, did I ask for your opinion? I told you to explain the situation to me, that's all. You have no idea what kind of powers I have. If she thinks she can hide from me but stay close enough so the sound of her flute can still reach me, she's mistaken. All right. Summoning blade dance!
Tayuya: All right, I'm far enough away. It's time for my genjutsu.
[Temari's cyclone destroys the forest and kills Tayuya]
Temari: How was that? It's finished.
Shikamaru: She doesn't mess around huh? She's as subtle as a rhino. She might even be scarier than my mom.

Showdown: Gaara vs. Kimimaro! [3.43]

Kimimaro: You're nothing without that sand of yours. Why else would you go through the trouble of lugging it around?
Gaara: Sand shower. [rains sand]
Kimimaro: What a surprise. [his legs are restrained by sand]
Gaara: But as long as I have it, I can do anything.
Kimimaro: I don't hate the darkness. It was in the darkness that I was raised.
[Flashback to Kimimaro living in a prison]
Kimimaro: Why? It's not fair. Why am I in a place like this? Why me? I don't get it, what did I do wrong? Is there really a God watching over us? And if God does exist, how could he let something like this happen to me?
Orochimaru: Maybe, just maybe there is no purpose in life. But if you linger a while longer in this world you might discover something of value in it. Like how you discovered that flower. Or how I discovered you one fateful night.
Kimimaro: That's what Lord Orochimaru said to me that day. But people are born for a reason, that's what I think. They have something they're meant to do with their lives, and I am no different.

Vengeful Strike! The Bracken Dance! [3.44]

[Kimimaro and the Sound Four are staring each other down after Orochimaru gives Kimimaro the Earth Seal]
Kimimaro: You obey me or you die. Which do you prefer?
Sakon: How about neither one?
[They all jump down at Kimimaro, but are easily defeated. Jirobo and Kidomaru collapse]
Kimimaro: Pathetic. Is that the best you four can do? Now then I'll ask you once again. Which do you prefer?
[Tayuya and Sakon look at each other and then bow down]
Kimimaro: Very well. We are now the Sound Ninja Five.
Gaara: Orochimaru has brainwashed you well. You sad little pawn.
Kimimaro: You're wrong! You don't understand! [flashes back to his times with Orochimaru] I will see the truth of this world... LORD OROCHIMARU WILL SHOW ME!
Gaara: A tenacious opponent, but this time it's over. We won't be seeing him again in this life.
Rock Lee: Yes. Good.
Gaara: My strength is gone. We must descend.
Kimimaro: [last words] I am not his pawn! He is the one, the only one who ever gave my life meaning! But how could the likes of you EVER UNDERSTAND THAT?!
[Orochimaru and Kabuto are shown sensing Kimimaro's death]
Gaara: It was sheer luck... I should have been killed.
Rock Lee: No, it was not meant to be. My Sensei has often said to me: "A good ninja makes his own luck."
Gaara: That meddlesome mother hen...
Rock Lee: [offended] Guy-Sensei is nothing of the sort! Yes, he stepped in, but only that once, and only because I was not strong enough. I am very grateful to you for having saved my life, but I warn you, I will not abide of anyone speaking ill of my Sensei.
Gaara: So you're another one, eh?
Rock Lee: Huh?
Gaara: You have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that every hurt inflicted on them is inflicted on you as well. And the closer they are to you, the greater the pain. [remembers Kimimaro's last words] To feel so strongly for someone you would fight for them...and die for them. You and Naruto Uzumaki have that in common. However, what if this person you honor and would even die for is not a virtuous person?
Rock Lee: Impossible! Such a person would be unworthy of honor or respect.
Gaara: No. Perhaps the companionship of even an evil person is preferable to loneliness...

A Cry on Deaf Ears [3.45]

Sasuke: [To Naruto] I have woken up. Don't you see? That guy who dreamed of a happy future full of peace and friendship, he was the one who was asleep. That's why I left the village, that's why I've gone in search of power. It's not the future I dream of anymore, only the past. That's where my dream lies.

Brothers: Distance Among the Uchiha [3.46]

Itachi: [To the police after beating them for accusing him of Shisui's murder] Like I said before, Appearances and preconceptions aren't going to tell you anything. For instance, you've made the mistake of assuming I'm a patient man. The clan, the clan... You overestimate your own abilities with no idea of the depth of my own. And look at you now, groveling in the dirt.
Sasuke: I've never seen him like this before.
Yashiro: Shisui had been keeping an eye on you recently. The strangeness of your behavior. Half a year into your time at ANBU, it was impossible to overlook. What the heck are you playing at, you filthy little wretch?
Itachi: Obsessed with the organization, obsessed with the clan, obsessed with our lineage... A worthless compulsion that enslaves us and limits our capabilities, leading us to fear what you don't understand.
Fugaku: Stop it, Itachi! What in the world is the matter with you?! Itachi, you've been strange lately.
Itachi: There's nothing strange about me. I have my own duties to fulfill, that's all.
Fugaku: So what's your story? Why didn't you come last night?
Itachi: To achieve the next state.
Fugaku: What are you talking about?
[Itachi draws a kunai, throwing it at a wall with an Uchiha crest]
Itachi: I've had enough. There's no hope left for this pathetic clan. The people of this clan are all the same. You focus on the trivial and lose sight of what's most important. Change is impossible in this fog of ignorance. How can we evolve when regulation is the only thing we've ever known?

The Secrets of the Mangekyo Sharingan [3.48]

Itachi: Like me, you may be one of the few who can use Mangekyo Sharingan. But there is a catch... Take the life of your best friend. You must kill him.
Sasuke: No matter what darkness may await me, even if it means killing you, I will meet it head on. And whatever happens, I will get that power. From this point on I am an avenger.

Season 4

For a Friend [4.01]

Sasuke: You know what they say, don't you Naruto? When two Shinobi are powerful enough they are able to read each other's thoughts simply by an exchange of fists, without ever uttering a single word. Get it? You've always been naïve, Naruto. Tell me, do you know my thoughts? Can you tell what's on my mind?

A Plea From a Friend [4.02]

Naruto: I won't let Orochimaru have you! I will stop you even if I have to break every bone in your body!
Sasuke: Just shut up for once... What the heck do you know about it? It's not like you ever had a family in the first place. You were on your own right from the beginning! What makes you think you know anything about it, huh?! I'm suffering now because I had those ties. How on earth could you possibly understand what it feels like to lose all that?!
Naruto: It's true. I have no idea what it's like having parents or a brother. However, whenever I'm with Iruka-sensei, I wonder... [flashes back to his times with Iruka] if that's what it feels like to have a father. And when I'm with you... [flashes back to his times with Sasuke] I wonder if this is what it feels like to have a brother.
Sasuke: Why Naruto? Why would you go so far for me?
Naruto: Because this is the first time I've ever had a bond like this. That's why I'll do anything I can to stop you.
Sasuke: It's too late, Naruto. It's just too late. I can't turn back. [awakens his Sharingan's 3rd tomoe] Come, Naruto! If that's how it is, I'll just have to sever that bond.
Naruto: [To Sasuke] Sever it just like that, huh? Then why do you even bother wearing that headband anymore?
Sasuke: [Cursed Seal second stage emerges] There's no question that you're special... Unfortunately, you're not quite as special as I am.

The End of Tears [4.03]

Naruto: [To Sasuke] So you're special, huh? You won't be so special when I'm through with you!
Sasuke: You know where we are? It's called the Final Valley, the perfect setting for this fight. Isn't it, Naruto?
Kakashi: [at the Final Valley] Look at that river. The water just rages on for eternity like this epic neverending battle, as eternal as the two founders of the Hidden Leaf Village, forever standing as these statues. Naruto and Sasuke, as long as they live, the cycle will continue.

The Promise That Could Not Be Kept [4.04]

Shikamaru: I'm just not cut out to be a shinobi.
Temari: Honestly, all you men with such fragile egos.
Shikamaru: This mission, I thought all I had to do was depend on everybody else. Some leader. I thought I should've done more, but I didn't have the strength. It's all my fault.
Temari: What, are you afraid you might get hurt?
[Shikamaru leaves]
Shikaku: Shikamaru, a girl disrespects you like that and you're just gonna walk away?
Shikamaru: You bet I do. Standing around arguing isn't my thing. That's something girls like to do.
Shikaku: And what are you? You're not a man, that's for sure. As far as I can see, you're nothing but a coward. You think if you quit, the missions will stop? Someone's gotta do it. Your comrades will be sent out again, on other missions, with someone else leading them. They'll face the same risks and some of them might not make it, ones you might have saved if you'd been there to lead them. How are you going to feel then? You've got a chance to reflect on your mistakes and to learn from them. Use your failures to make yourself a better leader. You won't help your friends by running away. Instead, you should be trying to make yourself stronger for their sake, so that the next mission goes perfectly and everyone gets back safe. The choice is simple. You're either a leader or a coward. So, which are you?
Jiraiya: [Advising Naruto to forget about Sasuke] To be a shinobi you need more than strength and jutsu. You must acquire the judgment to make the right decisions. You must become smarter. The longer you remain a fool, the harder it will be for you to live in this world. That's reality.
Naruto: Fine then. If being smarter means what you say it does, I'll remain a fool my entire life. I'm going after him, and I'll do it alone if I have to. I'll create my own incredible jutsu, and whenever the Akatsuki show up, I'll smack them down!
Jiraiya: The thought of my leaving you to come up with Jutsu on your own like that idiotic sexy Jutsu of yours... No, it's too depressing. This is more than foolish, it's so colossally foolish it might even work. We've got a lot of work to do when you get out of the hospital. So be ready to hit the ground running. See you then.
Naruto: You got it!

Funeral March for the Living [4.21]

The Dark Creeping Clouds [4.24]

Tenten: Everyone ought to be able to live by themselves.
Naruto: But don't you need some good friends in your life who you can count on in a pinch?
Tenten: I'm talking about the basics here. I can't stand weak and indecisive people!

Raiga's Counterattack [4.25]

Tenten: I won't let that happen. You're not getting off that easy. No way! The people you and Raiga killed, they all wanted to live but you didn't leave them that choice! You decided for them! Well you don't get to decide this time, ok?! You're gonna live and you're going to take some responsibility for all those people's lives you cut short!
Tenten: I'm not running away and I'm not giving up. I will save this child.

Run! The Curry of Life [4.26]

Tenten: You doofus! This isn't the time to go passing out! [feeds Naruto curry of life, causing him to wake up startled]
Naruto: What the heck do you think you're doing?
Tenten: Does that mean you're awake?
Naruto: Wait hold on a minute, what are you doing here? I thought you fell off the cliff, didn't you?
Tenten: It was just a trap, Naruto. You couldn't figure that out?
Rock Lee: That is a lot of Narutos. I must have been out of it for a little while.

Bounty Hunter from the Wilderness [4.28]

[Hinata has made Naruto an onigiri shaped like his head]
Naruto: I sure didn't expect to be eating my own face when I woke up this morning. Oh wow! Seriously Hinata, you're gonna make somebody one heck of a wife!
Hinata: [blushing] What? One heck of a wife...

Infiltration: The Set-Up! [4.40]

Naruto: It's not a face that makes someone a monster, it's the choices they make with their life!

Despair: A Fractured Heart [4.41]

Anko: [To Amachi] Weirdo. Glad you showed up.

Run, Dodge, Zigzag! Chase or Be Chased! [4.45]

Kiba: [After Hinata faints] Okay. Here's an idea. How about you cut our ropes first, then you can faint all you want.
Kiba: Okay, those guys need to be stopped. Naruto and I can handle that. Meanwhile, you head back at your own pace. Be careful. Your leg is still injured so don't push it.
Hinata: [Nods] I won't overdo it.
Naruto: Here's the plan. Head home at your own pace but be careful. That leg is still hurt, you know.
Kiba: Didn't I just tell her that? Were you paying attention?!
Naruto: What's that? I zoned out.
Hinata: [Blushes] Thanks, Naruto.
Kiba: [Grunts] Come on, idea boy. [Pulls Naruto by his collar]
Naruto: [While looking for fake Naruto] Where you hiding, you big fake fraidy-cat?! Show that handsome face already!
[Fake Naruto runs into Sakura while she's carrying books]
Sakura: Something maybe you'd like to say?! Like oh, I don't know, "sorry"?!
Fake Naruto: [Laughs] Check it out! Landed right on your butt cuz it's the biggest part of you! Butt queen! All hail the butt queen! And that forehead, more like a fivehead, am I right? [Runs off]
Sakura: [Stands up angrily] By the time I'm done with you, Naruto, you won't have a butt... cuz I'm gonna kick it all over the village!
Naruto: [approaching from behind] Sakura! Get out of the way!
Sakura: Naruto! Shut up! [Punches Naruto in the chin, sending him soaring]
Naruto: What was that for?
Sakura: Wait a minute, if Naruto ran off in that direction... [points to her left] ...how did he get back over there so quickly? [points to her right]

Season 5

Kiba's Long Day! [5.05]

Kiba: Akamaru, what's wrong boy? Have you forgotten my scent? We've always been together haven't we? We grew up together. Akamaru please, somewhere in there, there has to be a part of you that remembers. Show me that you remember. AKAMARU! Forgive me. Can you? I know that I've brought you nothing but pain and suffering. I broke my word. I swore I'd always protect you. Akamaru I'm sorry. Sorry I wasn't a better master. I'm here. Here for you. Forever.

Laughing Shino [5.07]

Shino: [After Naruto sees him laugh for the first time] Not a word. It never happened, understand?

Multiple Traps! Countdown to Destruction [5.22]

Ino:: So that old man wasn't necessarily a bad guy?
Choji: I knew it. It's like I said, anyone who likes Ichiraku Ramen can't be all bad.
Ino:: Huh? I remember the guy saying he didn't like eating ramen all the time?
Choji: Well Ichiraku ramen is different.
Shikamaru: There's no way you can go through life with something you hate on the menu every day.
Choji: You are so right!
[Naruto finishes his ramen and sees Gennou's reflection in the remaining soup]

Kurenai's Decision, Squad 8 Left Behind [5.24]

Naruto: Idon't know if you heard, but Kurenai's quitting squad 8, so I came to see if I can convince Grandma Tsunade to try and talk her out of it.
Sakura: Don't think you'll have any luck. You can try.
Naruto: Oh don't worry, I know where she keeps her booze hidden. So all I gotta do is threaten to tell Shizune and she'll be putty in my hands.

Departure [5.41]

Gaara: I am Gaara of the Desert, wherever there's rock, wherever there's Earth, I can make more sand.
Temari: We owe you one.
Shikamaru: Aw skip it, we're just returning the favor that you did for us. Next time you'll owe us one.
Temari: Well at least this time you didn't get all choked up. That's an improvement.
Shikamaru: Sheesh, women.

Unsorted

Naruto: [to Guy] Huh? Oh Bushier Brow, it's you!
Sakura: It's not scary to die... for the people who are precious to you!
Kakashi: [Thinking] If I'm still sane by the time I finish their training it'll be a miracle!
Kakashi: [To himself regarding Sasuke] Now I know how the Third Hokage must have felt.
Kakashi: [To Iruka] You can not open the mind of another if you do not have an open mind yourselves.
Orochimaru: How tranquil, or rather, how naïvely peaceful this nation has become... while all other countries are busy with military expansion races.
Orochimaru: It's human nature that people won't realize the true value of something unless they lose it.
Orochimaru: I can sense your fear and desperation... it's only natural... the prey must never let down its guard, not even for a moment... in the presence of its predator.
Gaara: Shut up... or I'll kill you.
Gaara: Bitter crimson tears flow from lifeless eyes, and mingle with the endless sands... Bestowing ever greater power upon the demon god.
Gaara: Is that all you've got? Let me feel it a little more... There isn't enough... blood!
Gaara: A battle is a gamble where one pits one's existence against another's and you try to kill each other... and where only the victor gets to savor the worth of his existence.
Neji: Father, I can't be sure if a person's destiny is like a cloud floating on a fixed current that it can't escape.. Or if people are able to ride on whatever breeze they choose. I don't know. I don't completely understand it yet. And maybe the destination is the same, no matter what you choose. Just when you choose one course, along comes someone who's picked a different path, one that's devoted to living life to its fullest. There's real strength to be found in that love of life, I finally understand that because of this latest battle. Now father, I have only one goal: To become stronger so I won't lose to anyone again.
Rock Lee: I am the valiant green beast of the Hidden Leaf Village!
Rock Lee: I get an extra surge of power when I know that Guy-sensei is watching me.
Rock Lee: Naruto! Let us work up a sweat in vigorous battle!
Tsunade: People become stronger because they have memories they can't forget.
Tsunade: [To Naruto when he calls her "Grandma"] Stop calling me that!
Temari: [To Gaara] Gaara...this is your big sister asking you to stop. Please?
Tenten: The weaker you are the louder you bark.
Tenten: Let's just say I don't like being kept in the dark!
Kurenai: Every single one of us has a fanged beast hidden within the depths of our minds. It lies there, waiting in the dark reaches of a person's soul and it appears in our lowest moments. It doesn't matter how strong you think you are. When the beast comes, it is impossible to control. It can even end up hurting those who are closest to you. But if the monster can be tamed, reigned in with the strength of your will, it can become a magnificent power. And can even make your dreams reality.
Shizune: Lady Tsunade? Are you actually... STUDYING?!
Jiraiya: [to Naruto] The only similarities between you and the Fourth Hokage are your pig-headedness and your spiky blonde hair!
Haku: I have thought two steps ahead of you.
Iruka: [About Naruto] Well that's typical. Not happy unless he's giving people a heart attack.
Guy: You guys are in the springtime of your youth!
Guy: Who wants to have an intense "man battle?"
Tayuya: Maybe you idiots can't handle it, but I can.
Tayuya: In order to gain something, you must throw something away.
Zabuza: You say my future is death? I've had enough of your bluffs.
Sakon/Ukon: The older brother up the younger brother.
Sakura: Hey Sasuke, when we get back do you want to do something with me?
Sasuke: Uh, I don't think so.
Sakura: Oh.
Naruto: Hey Sakura, I'll do something with you.
Sakura: Hey you, that was a private conversation!
Baki: Gaara, where are you going?
Gaara: To remind myself I'm alive.
Shino: We need to have a good, leisurely talk for a change. This is also part of teamwork. I would like to hear what your mission was like.
Kiba: Well, it sure was something! Though you wouldn't understand it even if I explained it to you. [thinks] I won't let Akamaru go through that ever again. For that, I need to polish my techniques more, and...
Shino: No, I would like to hear about it properly. Because that's what teamwork is all about.
Kiba: Are you sulking because you were left out? [Shino stops walking but says nothing] So you are.
Naruto: [Spots Hinata and Sakura] There she is. Hey, Hinata!
Sakura: What is it?
Hinata: What's going on?
Naruto: Hinata, you're the one I want.
[Hinata and Sakura gasp not realizing that he is just asking for her help and not asking her out on a date]
Sakura: What the heck is wrong with you? You idiot, saying stuff like that right now!
Hinata: I never knew. I don't know what to say.
Naruto: I need you, Hinata.
Hinata: Oh Naruto, I never knew you could be so impetuous.
Naruto: [Gets frustrated and sees Neji] Never mind, I'll ask Neji. See ya!
Hinata: Huh?!
