Season 1

Homecoming [1.01]

Konohamaru: You're looking at the Seventh Hokage!

Naruto: This takes me back! This place hasn't changed a bit! I'm home, everyone! Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the Hidden Leaf Village! I'm feeling so nostalgic now. [Looks at the mountain carved with the faces of the Hokages] They added Grandma Tsunade's face up there.

Sakura: Is it really him?

Konohamaru: Looks like.

Sakura: Naruto? Naruto is that you? When did you get back to the village Naruto?

Naruto: Just now. Long time no see, huh Sakura?

Sakura: Wait a minute. You've gotten taller than me haven't you?

Naruto: Yeah I guess I have.

Sakura: He seems more grown up since the last time I saw him. So what do you think? Do I seem more like a woman to you now?

Naruto: You kidding? Not really. You haven't changed at all! [Sakura twitches, then turns away]

Jiraiya: Smooth kid. Could you be any more oblivious?

Konohamaru: [using the Sexy Jutsu] Hey Naruto! Sexy jutsu! How was that? Not bad in the curves department there huh?

Naruto: Konohamaru, I'm not that scrawny little kid anymore. And you shouldn't be using jutsu like that either. It's beneath you.

Sakura: [thinking] Well, I'll be. It's not just the outside that's changed. I kinda missed the old Naruto, but you've turned out pretty well, haven't you? You really have become amazing, Naruto. Knowing you, I bet you've got a slew of incredible jutsu to show us.

Naruto: [drops his serious look] I mean come on Konohamaru! Is that all you've got? Now step aside and get a load of my brand spanking new pervy ninjutsu!

Sakura: [smiling] Right, like a new pervy ninjutsu...

Naruto: Here we go!

Sakura: [punching Naruto] Are you kidding me?! What the heck is wrong with you, you pervy little doofus? We don't see each other for over 2 years and you've got the nerve to pull off a stunt like that? Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Do you?

Jiraiya: [thinking] That quick temper and monster strength. You've raised a Tsunade Jr.

Sakura: [to Naruto about Tsunade] You idiot! You've no idea how scary she is!

The Akatsuki Makes Its Move [1.02]

Jiraiya: But you can't expect a kid to appreciate great literature. People would kill for a copy. Hasn't even been released yet.

Sasori: Are you sure what you've got in that pouch will be enough? Our enemy possesses the Jinchuriki host.

Deidara: Every one of my jutsu is a work of art. But just to be sure I brought along my masterpiece. We can't take any chances when our opponent is the One-Tail.

Kakashi: We had Sasuke with us back then didn't we? [Naruto and Sakura flash back to Sasuke leaving Konoha, becoming depressed] I guess Sasuke's name is taboo to these guys. [Holds up the bells he used during Team 7's first practice mission] All right, show me how far you've come. After all you haven't given up on Sasuke, right?

Naruto: Are you gonna be reading that stupid book the whole time, Kakashi-sensei?

The Results of Training [1.03]

Kakashi: You've matured, Naruto. However, you still have a long way to go. It's obvious you're as impatient as ever. You attacked before I even had a chance to say "start".

Kakashi: So looks like the Fifth Hokage has been teaching Sakura more than just medical ninjutsu.

Jiraiya: That same quick temper and monster strength. Tsunade's turned Sakura into a mirror image of herself.

Sakura: Kakashi Sensei, found you didn't I?

Naruto: I really should stop acting like such an idiot when I'm around Sakura. If I don't she's gonna kill me.

Deidara: I can't help but appreciate the architecture of this village. It's so artistic. Just another reason why it's truly worth destroying.

Kakashi: [After barely dodging Naruto's Thousand Years of Death] I thought that was the end for me in more ways than one.

Deidara: They're not weird, they're perfect. Look at those fools. They have no appreciation for art. You have to feel art. And true art is an EXPLOSION!

The Jinchuriki of the Sand [1.04]

Gaara: [Referring to Deidara's clay bird] There are no birds like that one in this desert.

The Kazekage Stands Tall [1.05]

Kankuro: I know Gaara would never harm the people of this village. Not ever.

[Flashback]

Kankuro: Gaara, let it go. I don't want to say this but you know how they see you. You're a weapon of terror. Seriously, leaving us and joining the regular troops is not gonna be an easy thing. They're full of Jonin who think pretty poorly of you. And most of the villagers, they're just as terrified of you as they've always been.

Gaara: I know that. I've always known. But doing nothing at all will almost certainly bring even greater pain. I know what I must do. I must clear my own path. And perhaps then the day will come. The day will come when I can be like him. I want to be a part of this village so I'm aiming for the title of Kazekage as a Shinobi of the Sand.

Kankuro: Gaara...

Gaara: I will work hard and connect to the people of this village. Watching Naruto Uzumaki has brought me clarity. Until I met him, my ties to others brought only pain and sorrow. But he was always pushing me to redefine those ties. I think I finally understand. The suffering and sadness of life, the joy. These are feelings that can be shared with those around me. It was Uzumaki. He's the whole reason my eyes have opened. When we fought we connected. He's known the same pain as I have and he taught me that I can change the path my life will follow. One day Kankuro, I'd like to become something precious to others too. Not just to be viewed as some hideous weapon, but as the Sand's next Kazekage.

Deidara: [To Gaara] I think your friends are about to butt in here. And besides, I'm tired of that expressionless face of yours!

Mission Cleared [1.06]

Naruto: Ichiraku's is the best.

Teuchi: I'm glad to hear you say that again.

Naruto: Except there is one thing I'm not too happy about.

Teuchi: Naruto, you come into my shop after all this time and the first thing you do is tell me what's wrong with my cooking?

Naruto: No it's not like that! There's nothing wrong with the ramen. It's perfect as always.

Teuchi: Then what is it?

Naruto: It's just, I was hoping the next time Iruka-sensei treated me to ramen would be on the day when I finally became a Chunin. Every single one of my classmates has made the leap up to Chunin. The only one who's still a Genin is me.

Iruka: It doesn't matter whether technically you're a Genin or a Chunin. You've been trained privately by Master Jiraiya himself.

Naruto: I know I know. But even that wasn't a walk in the park. That Pervy Sage is out of control! His training's so intense it messed up the headband you gave me. And all my clothes got totally ruined too. That's why I had to go get this new outfit made for me and a replacement cloth for my headband.

Naruto: Who knows, I might even be stronger than you now Iruka-sensei.

Iruka: What? Not so fast. You've got a long way to go before you can beat me.

Deidara: [About Gaara] Taking him down without killing him was much harder than I thought. Well my mission is clear.

Run, Kankuro [1.07]

Sasori: [to Deidara] You're late! I told you don't keep me waiting!

Sasori: [to Kankuro] I don't like to wait or keep others waiting. So I'll make this short and sweet.

Team Kakashi, Deployed [1.08]

Sasori: [to Kankuro] The spider needs to be as fast as the fly.

The Jinchuriki's Tears [1.09]

Sakura: Stop getting ahead of us.

Naruto: I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! I know why they're after Gaara and me. It's not like it's a mystery to me. You know too, don't you Sakura? There's no point hiding it. The spirit of the Nine Tailed Fox is sealed away inside of me. [Temari is surprised, Kakashi sympathizes, and Sakura realizes why the village shunned him] Gaara and I are the same. We both have monsters locked inside us. That's what these bastards are after. And that's the worst part about it! To them we're just monsters! All those bastards see is the means to an end! Everything about us was exactly the same. And he had to fend for himself a lot longer than I ever did.

Sakura: Naruto...

Naruto: And now he's the target of the Akatsuki, one more thing we have in common. Why should his life be so full of misery all the time? Why is it always him? That's why I've got to hurry. I don't have a second to waste! This time will be different. I'm gonna be there to save him!

Temari: [moved] Naruto Uzumaki. I thank you.

Chiyo: Fell for that one didn't you? I was just playing possum.

Chiyo: Although I guess it would be nice to see my grandson's face one more time.

Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals [1.10]

Konohamaru: [Tsunade enters, expecting Team Guy] We're getting an S-Rank Mission!

The Retired Granny's Determination [1.12]

Chiyo: Don't treat me like a fossil!

A Meeting With Destiny [1.13]

Guy: That sword of his!

Kisame: Ah, do you remember at last?

Guy: That weapon. It's yours, right?

Neji: Whose else could it be?

Guy: But there's a big difference between knowing and being absolutely certain.

Rock Lee: Wise words, Guy sensei. So simple and yet so full of profound meaning.

Tenten: Oh give me a break. Do you get this excited about everything he says?

Rock Lee: Forget it Tenten.

Kisame: I said you had the intelligence of a subhuman beast, but a beast could run circles around your brain.

The Secret Weapon is Called... [1.15]

Itachi: The Hidden Mist Jutsu. Quite an effective technique to prevent one from casting a Genjutsu. Unless of course one possesses the Sharingan.

The Secret of Jinchuriki [1.16]

Kankuro: [An elder talks down on Gaara] I don't care if you are a council member! I am not gonna listen to this!

Charge Tactic! Button Hook Entry!! [1.18]

Sasori: Itachi, this Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, what is he like?

Pain: Go on, tell him.

Itachi: He's the one who bursts in and barks first.

Sasori: What do you mean?

Deidara: Doesn't he have any identifying characteristics, other than barking hmm?

Deidara: What's taking them? I wish they would just hurry up and get in here, hmm. Sasori, what's the matter my man? I thought you didn't like to be kept waiting.

Sasori: Yes. I hate it!

Deidara: Well then, which one of you would be the Jinchuriki?

Naruto: [Seeing Deidara sitting on dead Gaara] You bastards! I'll kill the both of you!

Sasori: The one who bursts in and starts barking. That would be him then.

Deidara: Sasori my man, I think you're correct.

Traps Activate! Team Guy's Enemy [1.19]

Deidara: An artist must always seek ever greater stimulation, lest his senses go dull on him, my man. Rumor is the Nine Tails Jinchuriki is very powerful. A canvas truly worthy of my artistry.

Sasori: What? Those pyrotechnics of yours, art? Art is a work of beauty, captured and left for posterity. Art is eternal beauty.

Deidara: Eternal beauty? Are you kidding me? Look don't get me wrong. As a fellow artist I respect your point of view. But true ar this fleeting. A flash of beauty burning brightly and then vanishing in a heartbeat.

Hiruko vs. Two Kunoichi! [1.20]

Sasori: [to Chiyo while revealing his Hiruko body] If you insist on defying me, you give me no choice. So are you ready to join that boy as another addition to my collection, Granny Chiyo?

Sasori: But do you know how I prepare a new specimen for my collection? First I drain its blood. Then I remove all the organs and wash it inside and out. Make it nice and clean. And then after I've preserved the body against decay, the final step is to fill it with hidden weapons.

Sasori's Real Face [1.21]

Sasori: [Finally revealing his puppet body] You don't know how right you are.

Chiyo: If I hadn't hauled his old body here to face you I would have died with too many regrets.

Chiyo's Secret Skills [1.22]

Sakura: [to Sasori] You can blow my limbs off, you can poison til I can't move anymore, but I'm still going to get you, I swear it! No matter what you pull, no matter what you throw at me, I'm going to make sure you tell me everything about Orochimaru!

Puppet Fight: 10 vs. 100! [1.26]

Sasori: It's said the ability of a puppet master is measured by the amount of puppets they can use. I'd expect no less from you grandmother.

Sakura: There's so many of them. 10 at a time?

Sasori: Granny Chiyo's secret multiple digits. I've heard tell of their glory. You once destroyed an entire fortress with it. Secret white move: Chikamatsu's 10 puppets. The first puppet master Monzaemon's 10 masterpieces. An exquisite collection. However... [summons 100 puppets] I used these to destroy an entire nation!

Impossible Dream [1.27]

Sasori: [To Sakura] That's pointless. This puppet body of mine can't feel any pain. When you strike me, the only thing you hurt is your own fist. But come to think of it, you both seem two love doing such pointless things. Even if a relative, my own grandmother died here, I wouldn't feel a thing. My heart is just like this body. Over the years I've killed hundreds, thousands of people. She'd be no different from the rest. Things are much simpler than you might think.

Sakura: What the hell are you?

Sasori: I would describe myself as a human being who could not become a complete puppet. Yes I am a unfinished puppet whose lifeless frame still contains a beating heart at its core. I am neither dead nor am I alive.

Beasts: Alive Again! [1.28]

Rock Lee, Neji, and Tenten: Stronger than we were yesterday!

Rock Lee: Thanks to that training Tenten, you and I became Chunin and Neji became a Jonin. All because we worked hard every day to be better than we were the day before. But are we satisfied with how far we have come? Do we stop now? No! No, that day will never come when I do not strive to be better than I was yesterday! Better than I was an hour ago! Better than I was a minute ago!

Neji: Yes, making Jonin meant a lot to me, but I've never believed it was my final goal!

Kakashi Enlightened! [1.29]

Deidara: [To Naruto] Your friend's right and you know it too. He's been dead for a while now. [knocks on Gaara's face]

Aesthetics of an Instant [1.30]

Deidara: My man Sasori was beaten by that little brat and the old hag. Leaving a thing of eternal beauty for the future? Yeah right. All he did was get killed. He was overconfident about that puppet, even though it fully exposed his weakness. Oh well, it was still an ending worthy of an artist.

Naruto: [yelling at Chiyo] If all of you Sand Shinobi hadn't put that monster inside of Gaara, then none of this would have ever happened to him! Did you even consider how Gaara felt? Did you ever even ask? Calling us Jinchuriki. What makes you think you have the right to label us? Whoa re you to decide someone else's fate?

Sakura: Naruto...

Naruto: I couldn't save Sasuke and I can't save Gaara either. For three years I've trained so hard and nothing has changed!

The Legacy [1.31]

Chiyo: [Last words, to Naruto] In this world of shinobi created by frivolous old people, it's a great comfort to know that new souls like yourself have come along. Up til now everything I've done in my life has been wrong. But at least here in my final hour I can finally do something right for a change. The Sand and the Leaf, may the future that awaits them be much different from the way things were in our time. This special power of yours that Kakashi spoke of, that power will change the future dramatically. Become a Hokage the likes of which have never been seen. And as for you Sakura, in the future help those closest to your heart, not some old grandmother with one foot in the grave. You're a lot like me, child. So few women possess such strong spirit. You'll surpass your master as a kunoichi. I have no doubt. Naruto, do an old woman a favor, won't you? You are the only person in the world who knows the extent of Gaara's pain. He also knows your pain. Please look after Gaara.

Temari: [to Naruto] Naruto, there really is something different about you. It's true. You do have the power to change people.

Return of the Kazekage [1.32]

Tobi: [takes Sasori's ring] Look here it is! Here it is, Mr. Zetsu! Maybe now I can become a member of the Akatsuki huh? After all there's an open spot now right? [flips the ring into the air]

Black Zetsu: Fool. Do you really think it's that easy?

White Zetsu: Oh come on, why not let him join? Tobi's a good boy. [Tobi fails to catch the ring as it falls into a crack as Zetsu walks off]

Tobi: Wait a minute, Mr. Zetsu please!

[Guy puts an exhausted Kakashi on his back]

Naruto: That's just wrong.

Sakura: Grown men playing piggyback. It's almost creepy.

Tenten: Oh, brother.

Lee: What the? I get it. A training exercise!

Guy: So you wanna see faster? [runs] I'll show you faster! Gangway! What's wrong slowpokes? Can't keep up with me? Let's go!

Sakura: It looks even weirder when they're in motion.

Lee: [bending over] Neji!

Neji: Forget it!

[Tobi finds Deidara alive]

Tobi: Dear dear, you must have had a close shave huh Deidara. But you're in one piece. Oops, my mistake.

Deidara: Tobi, even the Buddha loses patience when insulted a third time. One more word and there'll be no doubt about the cause of your death.

Tobi: You're just gonna bomb me to death right?

Black Zetsu: That was the third one.

Deidara: [locks his legs around Tobi's neck in a chokehold] Death by suffocation, hmm!

Season 2

The New Target [2.01]

Guy: [after Guy and Lee race back to Konoha] You did not come in second! You finished in third place. You're forgetting I have Kakashi on my back. Technically he came in second.

Shino: [After Naruto fails to recognize him] I know it's been a while, but you should at least try to remember your friends, or else it just turns the other person's feelings.

Formation! New Team Kakashi! [2.02]

Tsunade: Look, if I endanger the Leaf or the Land of Fire, then I swear as the Fifth Hokage, I will protect them with all my might and if need be, my very own life.

Ino: [After Choji tells her that "a weirdo" (Sai) attacked] Huh? What weirdo? You mean that guy? Hey wait, isn't that Naruto?

Yamato: It would be an honor to work in Kakashi's stead, milady.

An Unnecessary Addition [2.03]

Sai: I knew we were going to be teammates and I wanted to see how strong you were.

Naruto: Well that was pretty stupid. You didn't have to go that far.

Sai: I was just curious to see how strong you'd be. Now I know you're not packing anything major.

[Sakura holds Naruto back as he tries to attack Sai]

Naruto: What did you just say?!

Sakura: We have to work together with this guy! You can't start off fighting from the get go! [to Sai] And the same goes for you. That wasn't very nice.

Sai: Is that so?

Sakura: You're not winning any friends with talk like that.

Sai: Well don't write me off yet. I like everyone, even you, ugly.

[Yamato holds Sakura back as she tries to attack Sai]

Sakura: What did you just say?!

Yamato: Whoa easy Sakura! Follow your own advice.

Danzo: I just hope he's not too deeply rooted in the pacifism of that pushover Sarutobi. The gutless teachings of the Third, who hated all manners of disagreement, just as the Third Hokage was rooted in the teachings of your grandfather.

The Fake Smile [2.04]

Sai: [to Naruto, who is comparing Sai's appearance to Sasuke's] If you keep on staring at me like that, I will hit you.

Yamato: Mutual respect and trust are essential elements of teamwork. Wasn't it Kakashi that taught you that? You are part of the team led by the great Kakashi. Lose the attitude.

Naruto: He's not a member of Team Kakashi! The fourth member of Team Kakashi is and always will be Sasuke Uchiha! This guy, he's just a fill in for Sasuke. That's all he is. He'll never be a real member of the team!

Sai: Well I'm glad that's how you feel. Sasuke is a traitor. He betrayed the Leaf and joined Orochimaru. Yes you're right. I'm not him at all. I'm not a traitorous cockroach. I can't fill in for someone like that.

Naruto: I've had it with you Sai. [Sakura stops him from saying anything]

Sakura: Remember what's important Naruto. It's teamwork. Calm down. Sai, Naruto was out of line, but it's just because he doesn't know you well enough yet. I'm sorry. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him.

Naruto: But Sakura...

Yamato: Glad we have one levelheaded person on the team.

Sai: Oh don't worry. He doesn't bother me in the least.

Sakura: Good. That's a relief. [sends Sai flying with a punch] I don't care one bit if you forgive me.

Sai: The best way to defuse a troublesome situation is by smiling, even if it's only a fake smile. It will fool more people than you think.

Yamato: [To Team 7 while making "ghoul eyes"] The three of you don't know me very well, either. I prefer the kinder and gentler approach, but believe me, I will use draconian methods if needed. [later to Naruto and Sai at the hot springs] Ah, naked like this with no secrets from each other. There's nothing like it for bringing people together is there? [both ignore him, so he makes his "ghoul eyes"] There's nothing like it is there?

Naruto: Right! There's nothing like it is there? Forget kinder and gentler. He's definitely going with the draconian method.

Sai: [to Naruto] Well what do you know? Looks like you do have some balls after all.

Untitled [2.05]

Sai: I've drawn tens of thousands of pictures but I've never titled any of them. Why should this one be any different?

Sakura: But that's what you do with pictures isn't it?

Simulation [2.06]

Naruto: Do you know what "comrade" means? [Sai starts writing] What the- Hey I asked you if you even know what the word "comrade" is!

Sai: Why yes, of course I know it. You write it like this. [he's written the word "comrade"]

Naruto: That's not what I meant and you know it.

Sakura: Hey, calm down Naruto.

Sai: You really shouldn't go around blaming others for your own shortcomings.

Sai: I told you, I just don't have any feelings at all.

The Tenchi Bridge [2.07]

Orochimaru: Your conversation sounds intriguing. I hope neither of you would mind if I joined in the fun.

The Nine-Tails Unleashed [2.08]

Orochimaru: You're starting to act more like a Jinchuriki, aren't you boy? [To Yamato] That's why he was chosen to be your watchdog yes? Seems some of my experiments came in handy after all. Honestly the Leaf Village really ought to be a bit more grateful to me. Wouldn't you agree, my darling little test subject?

Kabuto: Test subject? Who exactly is this guy?

Orochimaru: Years ago when I still walked among the fools of the Hidden Leaf Village, I sought the power of the Shinobi who was not only the ultimate wood style ninjutsu master, but also the one who had total control over tailed beasts, the First Hokage. I extracted some DNA samples from the First's remains and conducted an experiment, implanting genetic components into the cells of 60 worthy children. But their bodies violently rejected the treatment. They perished in rapid succession one after another. Just as I was closing the book on the subject, someone stumbled onto one of my other experiments. I was forced to flee, leaving my laboratory exactly as it was. I thought all the test subjects had succumbed. I never dreamed there'd be any survivors.

Kabuto: How fascinating. We're looking at the end result of your work all those years ago. You can observe the fruits of your labor.

Orochimaru: There's no question he's intriguing. But I wonder more about Sasuke. He needs to stretch his wings. Maybe we could put his growth to the test by putting him against Naruto here.

Naruto: [slowly becoming berserk] You don't own him! Sasuke doesn't belong to you! Don't you talk about Sasuke like you own him! ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF ME, YOU ROTTEN BASTARD!

Sakura: What is that chakra?

Orochimaru vs. Jinchuriki [2.10]

Orochimaru: [To Naruto in his Four-Tailed state] However do you plan on fighting me, weighed down with such dense chakra?

Sakura's Tears [2.11]

Orochimaru: As I predicted this body is starting to show signs of rejection. Unfortunately playtime is over.

The Secret of the Battle! [2.12]

Orochimaru: [To Sai] When addressing someone of a superior rank, proper etiquette dictates you face them directly.

Sakura: It's always like this. The only things I can do for Naruto are the little things anyone could do.

Yamato: It doesn't matter whether the things you do for him are great or small. What matters is how much you care, really care about Naruto. I can tell just by watching you Sakura, just how much you...

The Unfinished Page [2.14]

Yamato: [To Naruto] If you want to save Sasuke, then do it using your own power. If you wish to see Sasuke, then look with your eyes, not the Nine-Tails. If you want to protect Sakura, forget about the fox spirit. Use your strength.

Infiltration: The Den of the Snake! [2.15]

Sasuke: [After Sai tells him Naruto thinks of him as a brother] As far as brothers go, I have only one... the one that I must kill.

Bonds [2.16]

Sakura: [to Sai about his picture book] The reason that book means so much to you is because it is the only thing in this world that proves your existence. Isn't that right? You're not as emotionless as you'd have everyone believe. Even a veteran Shinobi can't push all their feelings away.

Sai: Why save someone who doesn't respect you? Why stand up to the likes of Orochimaru? Why risk your life for someone who doesn't want to be saved? Why would you when no one else is even ordering you to do so?

Naruto: It's funny. There was a time when I really hated Sasuke's guts. Neither of us had families and that didn't bring us any closer. I was always at the bottom of the class and Sasuke was on top. But when I look back I gotta admit it was always fun being around the guy. I mean after all, after all he's the person who accepted me more than anyone else. Sasuke is my best friend. It took a while but now we have a special bond.

Sai: A bond? You may have a bond, but you'll still have to battle Orochimaru.

Naruto: Don't you get it? It doesn't matter how strong my opponent is. If he tears off my arms, I'll just kick him dead. If he tears off my legs, I'll bite him dead. If he tears off my head, I'll stare him dead. If he gouges out my eyes, then I'll curse him dead! Even if I get chopped into pieces, I'm gonna beat Orochimaru and take my friend Sasuke back once and for all!

The Picture Book's Story [2.18]

Sai: [to Naruto] You really are like him, my older brother. He was loud and impatient, just like you. He also lacked any ball- [Naruto twitches] Well anyway, never mind. But most of all, just like you, he put all he had into everything he did. Watching you has helped me remember him.

Reunion [2.19]

Sai: [to Sasuke] But me, I have come here to take you back to the Leaf. When I first started out I did so with the sole intention of ending your life.

The Power of Uchiha [2.20]

Naruto: If that's all true then why didn't you kill me that day?! Weren't you gonna break our bond, Sasuke?!

Sasuke: The reason is simple. It's not that I couldn't break our bond, Naruto. [flashes back to the Uchiha clan massacre] I was simply doing as my older brother had done before me. It was nothing more than a strategy to gain power.

Naruto: What are you talking about?

Sasuke: I don't owe you any explanations. All I can tell you is that day... [flashes back to the battle at the Final Valley] That day when I left you lying there, I only spared your life on a whim, nothing more. [appears near Naruto]

Yamato: He's fast.

Sakura: How did he do that?

Sasuke: You know come to think of it, wasn't it always your dream to become the Hokage? All of the time you spent chasing after me would have been better spent in training. Wouldn't you agree, Naruto?

Sakura: Sasuke what are you-

Sasuke: [unsheathing his sword] But this time my whim is telling me to finish what I started.

Naruto: How could I ever become Hokage? I can't save a friend. Isn't that right, Sasuke?

Kurama: [to Naruto] Why are you hesitating? You need my power, don't you? Now then, who do you want to kill?

Naruto: Forget it. Don't you ever come out, do you hear me?

Kurama: What are you afraid of?

Naruto: Shut up! Do you think I need your power? I don't want anything to do with you!

Kurama: [laughs] Who was the one with the impudence to come begging for help at every step of the way? You understand by now don't you? Without me you couldn't do anything at all. Now do it. Break the seal completely. If you do I'll grant you all of my power.

Naruto: I don't need you! [sees Sasuke] How did you...

Kurama: I see. you're one of the Uchiha. You've advanced well beyond your years haven't you?

Naruto: How are you even able to be here?

Sasuke: I can see everything. So this is where all that power's coming from. Interesting. I never would have guessed that this was inside of you.

Kurama: That you can even see me here inside of Naruto is impressive my boy. It's that repugnant Sharingan, the true power behind your cursed clan.

Sasuke: I take it this isn't your first time seeing the Sharingan. So you're the Nine-Tails huh?

Kurama: With your visual prowess and a chakra more ominous than my own, you're a spitting image of Madara Uchiha from the elder days.

Sasuke: [dissolves him] Never heard of him. Am I supposed to care?

Kurama: To think you could actually suppress my power. This may be my undoing, but before I go let me say this. Whatever your plans are, don't kill Naruto. If you do, you'll regret it.

Title [2.21]

Sasuke: I don't care what happens to me or anyone else in this world. So long as I can have my revenge, nothing else matters. To be honest, neither Orochimaru nor I are strong enough to defeat Itachi alone. But if I can obtain the power to defeat Itachi by offering myself to Orochimaru, I'll give him my life a thousand times over.

Danzo: [To Sai] That smile. Tsunade has already approached me about this. But be sure that you remember Sai, emotions only generate hatred, and hatred breeds nought but conflict.

Season 3

Nightmare [3.01]

Sai: [To Sakura after being told to nickname people] Thanks for the advice... Ugly.

Sakura: [to Ino about Sai] On the outside maybe. But inside? No way. He can't read people's emotions.

Ino: Anyway I'm Ino Yamanaka. My family owns the Yamanaka flower shop. Nice to meet you.

Sai: [thinking] When it comes to women, stating their personality traits too bluntly might anger them. So perhaps I can avoid that if I say the opposite of what I think.

Sakura: Don't say it Sai. [Inner Sakura] Come on say it! Let her have it good just like you did to me!

Sai: A pleasure, you uh, you uh... Beautiful.

Sakura: You call her beautiful?! Why you! [attacks him]

Teammate [3.09]

Rock Lee: [Seeing Sora, Naruto, Choji and Kiba fighting] who decided to forge bonds of comradeship in a mighty meeting of fists and forgot to invite Rock Lee? [Joins]

Season 4

The Quietly Approaching Threat [4.01]

Asuma: [To his father's grave] I'm sorry I used to duck of the village the way I did, going off on my own. Not that I regret it. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all, being born into the Sarutobi clan. You fulfilled your duty as leader of the village. I see that now. I see how good a father you were.

Hidan: Yeah well this whole mission goes against all my beliefs. The way of Jashin is total slaughter. There's even an actual commandment that prohibits half killing.

Akatsuki's Invasion [4.02]

White Zetsu: Sorrow begets solitude.

Black Zetsu: The only thing you can have faith in is yourself.

Kakuzu: You're wrong. The only thing you can have faith in is money.

Hidan: There you go again. This side job of yours has made us fall behind in our Jinchuriki hunt! And that's not all.

Kakuzu: Listen, I only teamed up with you because you said that religion was profitable. As the holder of Akatsuki's purse strings, I'm the one who should be complaining.

Kakuzu: According to our bingo book his head's worth 30 million.

Hidan: Hey we're not just doing this for the bounty are we? Killing a monk for earthly gain is a one way ticket to damnation my friend.

Kakuzu: Well after all, they say that money talks wherever you go.

The Next Step [4.05]

Kakashi: [to Naruto] It's because I truly believe that you are the only shinobi who can surpass the fourth Hokage.

Climbing Silver [4.06]

Izumo: Is he immortal?!

Hidan: Isn't that obvious you fool?

The Judgment [4.07]

Hidan: And I didn't even hit a vital spot. But that kind of pain is the best! The other person's agony at the final moment of death seeps into my body. The pain is transcended and becomes the purest ecstasy!

Asuma: Shikamaru can think 10 steps ahead and imagine over 200 possible moves to make. He has the instinct for picking just the right one.

Unfulfilled Scream [4.08]

Hidan: [To Asuma] You fools have no idea how incredibly painful it is having your head sliced off!

Hidan: Now I can finally savor it. Savor the pain caused by your death! [uses his curse to fatally wound Asuma] Yeah that's the stuff.

Last Words [4.09]

Hidan: I only need a little more time sir. We're just about to get to the good part here!

Pain: We're sealing the Two Tails. Return at once. This is top priority.

Hidan: Please sir, just a few more minutes. Is that really too much to ask?

Kakuzu: Enough Hidan.

Aoba: Are they communicating with somebody?

Kakuzu: We'll be back in no time so prepare yourselves.

Pain: What troublesome fellows they are.

Kakuzu: Let's go Hidan.

Hidan: That blasted leader of ours. One of these days I'll put a curse on him.

Asuma: Ino.

Ino: Yes?

Asuma: You're bossy but you can also be a compassionate caregiver. Choji and Shikamaru, they're both so awkward and clumsy.

Ino: Yes sir.

Asuma: And make sure that you don't ever lose to Sakura, not in Ninjutsu or romance.

Ino: I won't.

Asuma: And Choji, you're a loyal thoughtful friend and a kind soul. In time you'll be a stronger Shinobi than anyone else so be more confident in yourself.

Choji: Got it.

Asuma: And another thing. You might consider losing a few pounds.

Choji: I don't know if it's possible but I'll try to.

Asuma: And finally, Shikamaru. With your razor sharp intellect you have the instincts of a great Shinobi. You are truly worthy of becoming Hokage, though you'll probably try avoiding it, since you'd find the job such a drag. All those games of Shogi and not once could I beat you. Which reminds me, remember when we talked about the king? [they flash back] Now I'm going to tell you who the king is. Lean closer.

Shikamaru: But Asuma... so then that's why you...

Asuma: [Last words] I'm counting on you Shikamaru. I know I said I quit, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore now. Could you get me one last cigarette? They're in my pouch.

Asuma: [flashback] Each of you will be given a new team to lead. These earrings are my gift to you to celebrate our success. Whatever the future holds never forget you were members of Squad 10.

Ino: Sensei!

Raido: It was an end worthy of a Shinobi.

Shikamaru: I still hate those damn cigarettes. I can still feel his smoke in my eyes.

Sad News [4.10]

Hidan: I was just about to prove to those heathens the might of the way of Jashin!

Pain: The Leaf aren't heathens. They venerate their ancestors and follow the Will of Fire. In fact, one could say their motives for fighting are just as justified as yours.

Hidan: How dare you! Are you trying to insult me?

Pain: No. I do not intend to ridicule the reasons why you do battle. After all you and I are birds of a feather. It doesn't matter what you do to justify war. Religion, philosophy, resources, land, revenge, love, even on a whim. No matter how trivial the motive, they're all worthy causes for war. There will always be war. The reason can be found later. Human instinct seeks conflict.

Pain: The villages have downsized to save money, and many shinobi have lost their jobs. Shinobi exist to fight. They risk their lives for the sake of this land, yet this is how they're rewarded.

Naruto: If I can't look left and right at the same time all by myself, then I just need to create more clones. They can look left and right for me and then I can divide up the responsibility.

Kakashi: So my shadow clone earlier gave you a hint huh? Of course only Naruto has both the chakra and the shadow clones for a method like that to work. I couldn't accomplish that. I bet even the Fourth Hokage couldn't. But him... Just what I expect from a ninja like you, Naruto. You're full of surprises. I'm not sure how to say this, but I think I've started to take a liking to you kiddo!

[Naruto's jutsu and clones disappear in shock]

Team Ten [4.11]

Tsunade: [Thinking about Dan and Nawaki] Some deaths may be harder to accept than others. But unless you can get past that, there's no future.

Kakashi: [On leaving Naruto behind to help Shikamaru] He doesn't need me at the moment.

Target: Locked On [4.12]

Kakuzu: [To Shikamaru] If you're smart, unlike my partner here.

Kakuzu's Abilities [4.13]

Naruto: What I meant was that only my wind can assist and magnify his fire.

Kakashi: [to Kakuzu] Earth is inferior to lightning. Not your lucky day.

Ino: Unless he's taking advantage of his partner's immortality!

The Terrifying Secret [4.14]

Hidan: [To Shikamaru] You bury your dead or what? Cuz it'll be a real hassle if you do.

Kakuzu: Those headbands you're all wearing remind me of the very first Leaf shinobi I ever faced off against. The First Hokage.

Kakuzu: Kakashi, I'm going to replace the heart you took out with yours!

Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken! [4.17]

Naruto: I know teamwork's important, but right now I need to cross this bridge and cross it alone, no matter how dangerous a bridge it turns out to be. If I can't work my way to the other side, I'll just be a kid forever. [Sasuke appears in his mind] So please, please don't take away my chance to prove what I can do.

Shikamaru: You and your God don't frighten me. You see, you can I believe in different things. Wanna know what I believe in? The will of fire. Right now the god you should be worried about isn't your stupid Jashin or anyone else. It's me. Because I'm the one who's about to pass judgment!

Hidan: [last words] You fool! Don't say I didn't warn you! The day of retribution will come, and the Way of Jashin will punish you! Yes, and then I'll be the one passing judgment! My teeth, that's all I'll need, you'll see! And I'll tear you to pieces!

Season 5

The Price of Power [5.01]

Kakashi: [On Naruto] Jutsu that were beyond the Fourth Hokage are well within his command. I guess it's time to finally pass the torch. He's surpassed me. Can you sense it? You're the one who's always before his eyes inspiring him. It's you who makes him strong. You know that don't you Sasuke?

Yamato: Kakashi, time to move.

Kakashi: Yeah.

Choji: Think you can make it?

Yamato: Alright everyone, we're heading back to the Leaf Village.

Ino: Where's Kakashi sensei?

Yamato: Tying up loose ends.

Kakuzu: [last words] Defeated by a pack of brats. Incredible.

Kakashi: You did fight the First Hokage. No wonder you see us as brats, but it cuts both ways. To our eyes, you're just an old geezer whose time is over. So here you are dying, hugging the earth like a worm. One by one the next generation will catch up to you, and in the end they'll surpass you. [Kakashi finishes off Kakuzu]

Shikamaru: [to Kurenai] I used to complain about what a drag everything was. I made a lot of mistakes that way. And every time I did, Asuma would come to my rescue. He was an odd teacher. Kinda elusive, hard to figure out. But to me he was a terrific role model. Well looks like it's finally my turn now. When that baby arrives it'll be my turn as guardian and teacher. Guess I've got some growing up to do huh?

Shikamaru: [using Shogi as a metaphor for ninja life] The children who carry the future of the Leaf on their shoulders. They're the king.

Encounter [5.04]

Orochimaru: You defeated them all without one fatal blow. You are still naive.

Sasuke: They're not the ones I want to kill.

Orochimaru: You must learn to be heartless or you will never defeat Itachi.

Sasuke: When I come face to face with him I'll be heartless all right.

Orochimaru: Not a drop of blood on him. They called me a genius, but compared to him, there's no comparison.

Connecting Hearts [5.05]

Naruto: [Explaining what it means to connect heart-to-heart] Huh?! W-well, my feelings are understood by someone else. And that person's feelings reach me as well.

The Rampaging Tailed Beast [5.11]

Tobi: [Points out piggybank inside dango store] That's exactly like your work, isn't it? Could it be that your art style is a ripoff?

Deidara: Tobi... you're dead! [attacks him]

A Place to Return To [5.24]

Deidara: [after defeating the Three-Tailed Beast] If it weren't for my artistry you would still be thrashing around underwater. Since you're an Akatsuki now, stop jabbering so much and learn how to be cool. That's the secret. You've got no cool, you've got no art. You see, that's what art is. It's passionate emotions recollected in cool tranquility.

Tobi: Ha, talk about jabbering. [laughs as Deidara begins to attack him with explosives] Oh I was kidding!

Deidara: Just make sure you don't get complacent there, Tobi. The Three-Tails was easily defeated because it doesn't have a Jinchuriki host. It has great powers but not the intelligence to control it. [Tobi just lies silent] Hey there, Tobi. When I said be cool I didn't mean be comatose. I'm talking to you. [Deidara discovers Tobi has actually fallen asleep and attacks him] Fall asleep on me again and I'll make sure you never wake up!

Season 6

The Serpent's Pupil [6.01]

Sasuke: There's nothing more you have to teach me, Orochimaru. Now you'll see I can be heartless, even to you!

Sasuke: Trying to unlock the mysteries of nature, you toy with people's lives for the sake of this vain and ridiculous cause of yours. [reflects on Itachi massacring his clan to measure his power] You disgust me. [Orochimaru reveals his true form, a giant snake] The giant white scaled snake. Never would've recognized you. So that's your true form. In order to keep switching from body to body, you experimented endlessly and this is what you've become.

Orochimaru: Now Sasuke you are mine. Give me your body!

Sasuke: A snake that crawled on the earth dreamt of soaring through the sky, knowing full well it was impossible. Still hoping beyond hope, it kept its eye on a baby bird that it nurtured in its own nest, little realizing that... [activates his curse mark's second level and grows wings] That snake is now the prey because that bird is a hawk... ready to take to the sky!

Eye of the Hawk [6.02]

Sasuke: [on Orochimaru] I have absorbed him completely and nothing else remains.

Zabuza's Blade [6.03]

Suigetsu: [Pointing at Sasuke's head with his hand in a gun gesture] Just because you defeated Orochimaru doesn't make you better than me. Everybody wanted to kill him. You were Orochimaru's favorite. You could stay by his side while the rest of us were confined, so you just had more chances to kill him.

Guardian of the Iron Wall [6.04]

Karin: Sasuke, why aren't you just killing them? You're being naive.

Jugo of the North Hideout [6.05]

Jugo: A man? No no, a woman. My next victim will be a man.

Formation! [6.06]

Jugo: Kimimaro said he considered you his reincarnation, Sasuke, and sacrificed his life to protect you. That's why I want to see what kind of shinobi you really are with my own eyes.

Kakashi Chronicles ~Boys' Life on the Battlefield~ Part 1 [6.07]

Obito: I am Obito Uchiha of the powerful Uchiha Clan! I'll be stronger than you'll ever be! Kakashi, you just wait until my Sharingan awakens!

Obito: I got some dust in my eyes and started tearing up, that's all.

Kakashi: Whatever the circumstances, one person alone makes the decisions to keep the team together. That's why we have the rule that says all team members must obey the captain without question. Obito, you have no power. That's why I'm the captain of this team and you aren't.

Obito: Then why won't you try to save Rin yourself? It means you have the power to rescue your teammate, isn't that right Kakashi?

Kakashi: If you give in to your emotions for even a moment and fail your mission, you'll regret it sooner than you know. That's why Shinobi have rules. That's why we're taught that we must suppress our emotions. You should already know that.

Obito: But Rin, she was so concerned for your well-being that she put together that special med kit for you. She even sewed a protective amulet inside it!

Kakashi: The med kit and medical ninjutsu are great systems that the Hidden Leaf developed to increase the success rate of our missions. But like I told you yesterday Obito, better nothing at all than a useless burden.

Obito: Useless burden?

Kakashi: To carry out a mission a ninja must only have tools necessary to the task at hand. Useless things like emotions only get in the way.

Obito: Do you really mean that? Do you honestly believe that stuff Kakashi?

Kakashi: [remembers his father] Yes I do.

Obito: Just forget it. We'll never agree. We're like oil and water. I'm going to rescue Rin.

Kakashi: You don't understand, Obito. You don't know what happens to people who break the rules.

Obito: I believe that the White Fang was a true hero. You're right. In the ninja world, those who break the rules and laws are regarded as scum. But those who would abandon even one of their friends are worse than scum! [Kakashi is shocked] I'm scum anyway, so I'm going to choose to break the rules. And if doing that somehow makes me less than a true Shinobi, then I'll just go and crush all the so-called Shinobi!

Kakashi Chronicles ~Boys' Life on the Battlefield~ Part 2 [6.08]

Obito: I totally forgot that I was the only one who didn't get you a gift for becoming a Jonin and being named captain. I thought about it and didn't know what would be good, but I do now. Don't worry, I remember what you said before. I'm not giving you something useless. I'm giving you my Sharingan. Whatever the Village or anyone else may say, I think that you are a great Jonin. It's true. That's how I really feel. Please accept this. Rin, please use your medical ninjutsu and have my Sharingan, the whole eye, transplanted to Kakashi's left eye.

Rin: Kakashi, come quick. We have to do this now.

Obito: I'm about to die. I'll be your eye, keeping watch over what the future brings you.

[A tearful Kakashi exits the cave]

Kakko: Still alive huh? Man you're stubborn kid. But then you're just a brat. A real Shinobi doesn't cry. Let's settle this you big crybaby. [Kakashi reveals his new Sharingan] There's something different about him now.

Obito: Kakashi... Take care of Rin.

Kakashi: I will.

Obito: [last words] Just when Kakashi and I were finally starting to get along. And I never got to tell Rin that I love her. I just wish that I could've spent more time with everyone.

The Hunt [6.10]

Kabuto: The pain of not knowing who I am, of not having an identity, you understand it well, don't you Naruto?

Naruto: I don't want to understand anything that you'd say.

Kabuto: Are you sure? Who are you really? Are you Naruto Uzumaki, or the Nine-tailed Fox? I know you were shunned and despised in the past. You must have questioned your identity and who you were meant to be. But you had faith in your strength and told yourself you were Naruto Uzumaki. You forged your own identity. In doing so you overcame the cold stares meant for the Nine Tails.

Hinata: What is he doing? What does he want with Naruto?

Yamato: I can't figure it out either.

Kabuto: That's why you're confident. That's why you have no doubts at all about your identity and why you found friends who accept you so readily. But my story's different. Instead of reaching beyond Lord Orochimaru I stubbornly kept clinging tightly to his power. Now I have a much better idea of how you must have felt Naruto. You made me see. And so I decided that I would try to be like you. That's why my path's clear to me. I'm going to use what I was able to absorb from Lord Orochimaru to become a better stronger Kabuto Yakushi.

Deidara: Just look at the way he's glaring at us Tobi!

Clash! [6.11]

Deidara: [to Sasuke] You were only able to kill Orochimaru thanks to your Uchiha blood hmm? You were lucky to be born into that family and nothing more.

Deidara: I take commissions to make explosions using my art, hmm.

Sasori: Your art?

Deidara: [holds up a clay spider] Yeah look. Such refined lines matched with a form that pursues two dimensional depth formulae. This is true art. But my art goes far beyond this as well. My pieces are versatile. While they hold shape, they're merely objects, but they can also explode. And when it does explode, it makes its essence more sublime, and it finally comes fully into its own. I feel that true art only lives in that flash of sublimation. True art is an explosion!

Sasori: Disgusting.

Kisame: Is he finished?

Itachi: Who knows?

Art [6.12]

Deidara: [as he speaks, Sasuke just stares with his Sharingan] You're about to be killed by my art. That is what annoys me the most about you and your brother! You think you're just so cool! Those eyes, those overconfident eyes make me sick! Your eyes, always judging me for my art! I'll never forgive them for that! You have absolutely no respect for my art! I can tell that you don't! I can never forgive those eyes that just ignore my art!

Sasuke: I couldn't care less about all that. I just want you to tell me where I can find Itachi. [Sasuke's Sharingan fades and he still stares]

Deidara: So you've retracted your Sharingan. Do you really take me that lightly? [Deidara rips his shirt off revealing a mouth on his chest that he feeds explosive clay] This is my ultimate art. This time I'm going to detonate myself!

Sasuke: He's insane!

Deidara: [last words] In death I shall become art itself! No one's seen an explosion like this, one that will leave behind a scar on the very earth itself. And then I'll receive more admiration for my art than anyone has ever seen before! Sorry, Tobi. But while I will be admired you will most definitely be dead! This explosion will cover 10 kilometers! You can't run away from this one, hmm! Tremble, be afraid, recoil in despair, cower in awe, and cry your heart out! Because my art... IS AN EXPLOSION!

[A massive explosion occurs]

Disappearance [6.13]

Kisame: I like Tobi. He managed to lighten the mood of this rather gloomy organization cheerful.

Manda: [last words, to Sasuke] You used me. Insolence! You damn brat, how dare you do such a thing to me? Those eyes, you hypnotized me with those damn eyes of yours. Me, you did this to me. How dare you.

Kisame: [to Itachi who is standing in the rain] I have no idea what's going on in your head right now, not one clue. Yet from here it looks like you're crying. It's really too bad what happened to your younger brother. It looks like you're the sole surviving member of the Uchiha clan.

Itachi: No. Sasuke is not dead. Besides...

Kisame: What are you talking about?

Itachi: The rain has finally stopped.

Tobi: His Sharingan is at full power. His eyes will surpass even Itachi's. Then the time has come. I'm sure his mind is made up, since he doesn't have much longer.

Pain: And what about the Nine-Tails?

Tobi: You will hunt it. And as leader, I will not tolerate failure.

Suigetsu: Wow so what you're saying is even lowly animals have the ability to sense chakra. Or maybe it's because they're so lowly like you, Karin.

Tobi: Soon, very soon all of our goals will be achieved. When that happens then everything will be restored to its rightful place. The true power of the Sharingan that belongs to me... Madara Uchiha!

Konan: Once again the sky is weeping. Pain, are you...

Twilight [6.14]

Itachi: I know that you're out here all by yourself. So why aren't you running?

Naruto: Whatever, I can be any number from 1 to 1000. And besides, why would I want to run? If I capture you then I get to see Sasuke!

Itachi: Why are you so obsessed with my brother? He's just a rogue ninja.

Naruto: It's true that we may not be blood but he's more of a brother to me than you ever were to him!

Tsunade: Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction isn't it? I never imagined Orochimaru would die. Remember how the three of us would go up against the Third Hokage?

Jiraiya: And now flat as a board Tsunade has become the big bosomed Hokage. Ah, times have changed and always will. You were so beautiful back then and now you're a 50 something granny. But it does pain me to see how you hold the memories of your lost friends and loved ones inside that ample bosom of yours. As you know the numbers will continue to rise. Well then we'll just have to keep our emotions in check. The job that we must give to ourselves now is to set examples and help the next generation, Tsunade. To achieve that I'd gladly risk my life. Wisdom is the one thing that makes growing old worth it.

Tsunade: The Akatsuki, if its leader is in control of such a powerful group then how strong is he, I wonder? Jiraiya, this mission of yours will take you right into the lion's den.

Jiraiya: Well then I think I better get going.

Tsunade: Please come back alive Jiraiya. If I were to lose you too, then I... I don't know.

Jiraiya: Are you saying you'd cry for me? I'm glad to hear it. But I doubt it'll be like the time that Dan died, right?

Tsunade: You idiot!

Jiraiya: Say how about you make a bet with me? You gamble everything on me dying. After all Tsunade, you always lose your bets, isn't that right? Promise me if I actually do manage to make it back alive... [acts like he's about to confess his feelings] I'm only kidding Tsunade! You know I'm grateful to you. Rejection makes a man stronger. I believe that you can't call yourself a real man unless you can laugh off all the bad stuff that happens to you, or at least use it as writing material.

Tsunade: So a man's only job is to be strong?

Jiraiya: Kind of but that isn't the entire story. Basically the pursuit of happiness isn't for us.

Tsunade: Stop trying to act cool. If there weren't any women around, there would be no rejection either.

Tsunade: Minato Namikaze. Naruto's just like him.

Jiraiya: Minato was a once in a generation genius. There won't be another like him ever. He was kind and gentle, yet fierce and full of grit. He became our fourth Hokage in the blink of an eye. Now I've never been a parent before, so I don't know all that much about these kinds of things. But if he'd been my son, I'd be very proud.

Tsunade: Now that you mention it Naruto may not be like him after all. He's not the kind of child you boast about. He's the kind whose mischief you'd try to cover up. No I would say Naruto is more like his mother was.

Jiraiya: Wasn't she a kunoichi from the Land of Eddies?

Tsunade: That's right. His personality is exactly like Kushina Uzumaki's.

Jiraiya: That's right, I had forgotten her name! She was a chatty red haired little rascal, and she was quite a tomboy as I remember.

Tsunade: She was that, but she grew up to be a real beauty. But Naruto does look a lot like his father.

Jiraiya: Yeah when I look at Naruto I see a lot of his father. Although to me it feels as though I'm looking at my very own grandson.

Tales of a Gutsy Ninja ~Jiraiya Ninja Scroll~ Part 2 [6.16]

Orochimaru: We've seen so many war orphans. It's always so pitiful. They'd be better off if we simply put them out of their misery right now.

Jiraiya: Once you've been hurt you learn to hate. But if you hurt another you become hated and you shoulder a sense of guilt. But it is because one understands such pain that generosity towards others becomes second nature. That's what makes us human.

Minato: Every chapter reads like one of the numerous legendary exploits you told me about. It's like it's almost autobiographical.

Jiraiya: Yeah but it didn't sell at all. Four my next one I think I'll add some spicy elements to pep it up.

Minato: The main character here, I thought his determination to never give up was pretty awesome. He's actually quite a lot like you, Sensei.

Jiraiya: Yeah, you think so?

Minato: So I was thinking. I really hope my soon to be born child can become an amazing Shinobi just like the main character in your book! So that's why I'd like to ask your permission to name my son after him.

Jiraiya: You what? Are you sure about this? I mean I randomly came with it while eating ramen.

Kushina: [enters the room, pregnant] Naruto... I think it's a wonderful name.

Jiraiya: Kushina. Wow so would that make me his godfather then? Are you really sure you're sure about this?

Minato: You're my sensei Jiraiya. You're a great ninja who possesses true talent. There's no one else like you in the whole world.

Infiltrate! The Village Hidden in the Rain [6.17]

Pain: Someone has circumvented my rain. From the feel of this chakra, he's very powerful.

The Man Who Became God [6.18]

Konan: [To Jiraiya] I've received my orders from God. I will kill you.

Konan: Way back then you should have done what Orochimaru suggested. Isn't that what you're thinking now? [flashes back to his words] Back then you saved the three of us from that fate instead. But it's too late now. We wholeheartedly embraced his ideology and we have now made our move.

Jiraiya: I have no regrets about letting the three of you live, no matter how this may end. I'm just very sad. The reason I taught you all ninjutsu was to enable you to survive those harsh times. You were all undoubtedly my students and I know the world is a cruel place, but to attack me without even so much as a greeting, well that's just too sad. For a few years after our time together I heard your names mentioned here and there. You made a reputation for yourselves, fighting for hire in a few conflicts, but then...

Konan: You know nothing about what happened to us afterward, sensei.

Jiraiya: No I don't, that's quite apparent. But why all this stuff with the Akatsuki? What the Akatsuki is doing now is simply wrong!

Pain: [arriving] This is what I thought through on my own. And that is that... Jiraiya-sensei.

Jiraiya: Well your appearance has changed quite a bit, but those eyes... [flashes back to the Rinnegan's awakening] So I guess you're the one who became Pain... Nagato. It appears you've strayed from the path of goodness. What HAPPENED to you?

Nagato: You don't need to know. After all you're just an outsider.

Pain: Nothing happened. Nothing except for the war. Too many people died in this land. All that pain forced me to grow up.

Jiraiya: What does that mean?

Pain: That even ignorant, foolish children will grow up in the face of pain until their thoughts and beliefs are the same as adults.

Jiraiya: But abandoning one's love for his friends and fellow man? Is that really what it means to become an adult?

Pain: Oh sensei, you're still merely a man. However I, mired in endless Pain, have matured and become much more than a man.

Jiraiya: What are you saying?

Pain: Yes, I've grown from a man... to a god. And since I'm a god, all my words and thoughts have become absolute. Poor sensei, you're still human. It's not your fault if you don't understand what I'm saying.

Jiraiya: Have you really become that twisted?

Pain: Things that I couldn't see when I was human are clear to me now that I'm a god. And being a god, I realize there are things I can do which mortal men can never dream of. Or to put it more simply I have evolved beyond that.

Jiraiya: Just what are you planning to do?

Pain: At last I'm going to put an end to this senseless war riddled world. This will be my sacred deed.

In Attendance, the Six Paths of Pain [6.20]

Jiraiya: [as he speaks he flashes back to their past] Don't let your guard down no matter who your opponent is. Nagato, you erred in your decision. I understand. Instead of trying to rule the world through pain, I wish you'd moved past it and used your power to create peace in a positive way. For just a little while there I believed you were the one. Farewell Nagato.

Pain: Pain is actually a designation to refer to the six of us as a group.

The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant [6.21]

Tsunade: He's not coming back. That's what I bet him before he left because he knows I never win any of my bets.

Pain: You see Yahiko's image when you look at me? You really are his former teacher. But Yahiko's been dead for quite some time. All that remains is Pain.

Jiraiya: In the shinobi world it's not how you live but how you die. A shinobi's life is not measured by how they live, but rather it's measured by what they managed to accomplish before their death. Looking back, my life has really been full of nothing but failure. Continually rejected by Tsunade, unable to stop my friend, and unable to protect either my student or my mentor. Compared to the great deeds of the Hokage, my actions are trifling, insignificant things indeed. I wish I could have died like each of the Hokage. A tale is only as good as its final turn of events, the plot twist. And mistakes are an important part of the plot too. I lived my entire life always believing that the lessons I've learned are what honed me. I swore that I would accomplish a deed so great it would obliterate all my failures. I'd die a splendid shinobi.

Jiraiya: Naruto, you are the child of prophecy. I'm sure of it now. I leave the rest to you!

Pain: [drowns Jiraiya] That frog, the frog got away.

Jiraiya: [last words] The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant. Well now it'll end a bit better I hope. The final chapter, I'll call it: frog at the bottom of the well drifts off into the great ocean. Just barely glorious, but glorious indeed. Now, I suppose it's about time I put down my pen. Oh that's right. What should I name the sequel? I wonder... Let's see... The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki. Yes, that has a nice ring to it.

Banquet Invitation [6.22]

Pain: Let us make sure to extol our former teacher. By the way you can come out now.

White Zetsu: That fight sure took you a while.

Black Zetsu: His opponent was Jiraiya after all.

The Longest Moment [6.23]

Itachi: How much can you see with those Sharingan of yours?

Sasuke: How much can I see with these? What I'm seeing right now Itachi, is you dead at my feet.

Itachi: You see me dead do you? Well then... [Itachi appears behind him] Go on, make it happen.

Itachi: I'm always going to be there for you, even if it's only as an obstacle for you to overcome, even if you do hate me. That's what big brothers are for.

Sasuke: Madara Uchiha!

Itachi: One of the Founders of the Hidden Leaf Village, the man who first awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

The Light & Dark of the Mangekyo Sharingan [6.24]

Sasuke: [Remembering the night the Uchiha clan was killed] I was so young. I thought it was all merely an illusion. I desperately wanted to believe I was just trapped in a horrible genjutsu. But there was no mistake! I was trapped in reality! My eyes are not the same as they once were. My Sharingan can see through genjutsu!

Itachi: You speak with such confidence as you always do. Well for now I'm going to take your word for it.

Sasuke: I'm done playing with your parlor tricks.

Itachi: Confidence is fine. But Sasuke, it appears you still do not possess the same eyes as I do. So you just couldn't do it. Couldn't kill your best friend. And you dared to come here to face me with such weak resolve?

Sasuke: All right, then just hurry it up and try to kill me with your Mangekyo Sharingan. Or am I too strong now for you to test your capabilities against mine?

Itachi: Such confidence.

White Zetsu: Neither of them have budged for the longest time.

Black Zetsu: They're feeling each other out with their genjutsu.

Itachi: The Mangekyo Sharingan are very special eyes. The moment they awaken, they progress toward darkness. And the more they're used, the faster they're sealed.

Itachi: Activating the Mangekyo Sharingan always required an Uchiha to take down a friend. Parents and siblings killed each other to obtain eternal visual prowess. We're both from a tainted bloodline that advanced its strength this way throughout the ages! And from the day you were born into our clan you have been unavoidably entwined with this blood soaked fate! Now come my little brother! I shall kill you to obtain my true transformation and finally be free from our clan's fate!

Amaterasu! [6.25]

Black Zetsu: Ah but the ordinary Sharingan is still a weapon and a weapon can be either strong or weak, depending on the ability of the person who is wielding it. Someone's shuriken might be taken down by a mere pebble if it's thrown by a master. The difference is in the power, the variation of strength. It means that Sasuke's skills far exceed Itachi's expectations.

Sasuke: Like I told you, no matter how much you use your eyes, with all of my hatred, I'll turn fantasy into reality.

Itachi: Turn fantasy into reality huh? Some strong words. And let me throw them back at you now. Just a few minutes ago you saw your eyes gouged out during the Tsukuyomi. Well allow me to make that a reality.

The End [6.26]

Sasuke: You'll be gone with the thunder clap. [uses Kirin on Itachi]

Black Zetsu: Such power.

White Zetsu: So did Itachi die?

Sasuke: It's done.

Itachi: [alive] Is this the death you had imagined for me then?

Sasuke: Damn you! [activates his cursed seal]

Itachi: If I hadn't had this I'd be dead. [activates Susanoo]

White Zetsu: What's that?

Itachi: You really have gotten stronger Sasuke. Now it's my turn. I'm going to reveal to you my final trump card, the Susanoo.

Sasuke: The Susanoo?

Itachi: Yes the one other jutsu. Once the Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were awakened, it also took root in this eye of mine. Sasuke, is that it for your Jutsu then? If you have anything else up your sleeve, now's your last chance to play it. The real battle's just beginning.

White Zetsu: [on Orochimaru] Gross fellow as always, regurgitating something out of his mouth like that.

Black Zetsu: Slithering around like the snake he is.

Itachi: And now your eyes are mine. I'll take my time retrieving them. [coughs blood]

White Zetsu: Whoa what the hell?

Black Zetsu: Something's wrong with him.

[Sasuke attacks Itachi with no effect]

White Zetsu: That Susanoo jutsu of his, it's simply repelling every single one of Sasuke's attacks.

Black Zetsu: There's no mistaking it. It's another spirit weapon. It's called the Yata mirror and it's said to deflect all things. With that and the Totsuka blade for attacking, Itachi's invincible.

Itachi: They're my eyes. They're mine.

[Sasuke is defeated, but instead of killing him, a smiling Itachi pokes his forehead before dying]

White Zetsu: No way. Is Itachi really dead?

The Mystery of Tobi [6.27]

White Zetsu: Sasuke triumphed in the battle. Itachi Uchiha is dead. [everyone is shocked]

Tobi: What? I don't believe it! Kidding. It's just as I expected.

Sakura: What? Sasuke killed him? He killed Itachi?

White Zetsu: Sasuke is down right now too. So what's next? I think he's in pretty bad shape.

Naruto: Hey, you up there! Spiky aloe guy! Tell us where Sasuke is right now!

White Zetsu: What do you mean by aloe?

Black Zetsu: Ignore him.

[Kakashi looks at Tobi and sees his Sharingan]

Tobi: We're just going to have to finish this some other time.

Fate [6.28]

Tobi: You think you know all about your older brother but you know nothing.

Sasuke: If you continue spouting such nonsense and lies, I'll kill you right here.

Tobi: You're not making this easy. I suppose that's only natural hearing this from a complete stranger, but what I'm telling you is the truth. Itachi did mention it, didn't he? That he wasn't alone that night, that he had an accomplice. I am Madara Uchiha. I know everything there is to know about Itachi. I suppose Itachi died without realizing that.

Sasuke: Shut up! None of that matters anymore! Just get out of my sight, you hear me?

Tobi: No, you listen. You need to hear this. It's your obligation. It's about the life of your brother who risked everything for the sake of the shinobi world, the Hidden Leaf Village, and most of all for you, his little brother. You will know how Itachi Uchiha lived.

Truth [6.29]

Tobi: [To Sasuke after revealing the truth about Itachi] Those eyes of yours did not perceive a single truth about Itachi. You weren't able to pierce through any of the illusions he created.

Itachi: [Last words, pokes Sasuke's forehead] Forgive me Sasuke, but this is it.

Sasuke: [in the present] We are no longer the Hebi. From this day on, this team will be the Taka. And Taka has but one goal. Our mission... [Awakens his Mangekyo Sharingan] is to destroy the Hidden Leaf.

Battle of Unraikyo [6.30]

Sasuke: What Itachi wanted to see and what I will see from here on out will be completely different. I can't do what Itachi wished me to. I will restore the Uchiha clan in my own way.

Suigetsu: [of Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan] Those eyes of his have improved. All that's gonna do is make him even more difficult to deal with.

Karin: Oh wow Sasuke's gotten even cooler!

Jugo: It's nice here. I think I'll be able to keep myself under control. I feel so calm.

Killer Bee: Oh my sight. Light too bright. Noon already?

Killer Bee: Only one who gets to dig me is me yo.

The Eight-Tails vs. Sasuke [6.31]

Killer Bee: I'm feeling hella fine. I just wrote the phatest rhyme.

Killer Bee: First I'm gonna float and fly like a butterfly. Then I'll sting you like a killer bee!

Jugo: [To Sasuke] I won't let you die. You're a memento of Kimimaro.

Season 7

Season 8

Somber News [8.01]

Sasuke: The reason why Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill me was because my life was more precious to him than the village itself was. I have similar feelings that Itachi's life is more precious than the Hidden Leaf. That's all. They shunned the Uchiha clan! They ordered my brother to kill his own parents! It wasn't just the elders who chased Itachi to his death, but all those in the Hidden Leaf who abide by the Senju! To me they are all the scum of the Earth! They are all objects of my vengeance! If you want to ridicule me as a brat swayed by his emotions, go ahead. To accept and adopt Itachi's intentions would be childish. The foolish sputtering of those who don't know hatred. If anyone who criticizes my way of life were to come forward, I'd turn around and kill every single one of their loved ones so that they too could grasp what it's like to experience this hatred of mine.

Tobi: When a man learns to feel love, he must also bear the risk of feeling hate.

Following the Master's Shadow [8.02]

Naruto: If the pervy sage had been the Fifth Hokage, he wouldn't have let Granny Tsunade take a risk like that.

Iruka: Naruto. I heard what happened to Master Jiraiya.

Naruto: [wiping his tears] All I ever wanted was for him to keep watching over me. I wanted him to see me become Hokage. But I only showed him the worst most uncool side of me. I'm still so-

Iruka: Listen to me. All Jiraiya ever had was praise for you. He kept saying that you were like his own grandchild. It's true. He had faith that you were the man who'd inherited his will. And he truly believed that you would be a wonderful Hokage one day. He's still watching and he always will be, even this very minute. No matter where he is I know that he wouldn't be happy to see you this upset and sad. Naruto, just go back to being the you that he praised so highly. Cheer up, for you are the distinguished student as one of the legendary Sannin, acknowledged by the great Jiraiya himself.

Naruto: Thanks, Iruka-sensei.

Shikamaru: [To Naruto] Eventually you'll be the one paying for the ramen and someone will be calling you Naruto sensei. After all we can't stay brats forever, not if we want to be cool Shinobi. Like the type of Shinobi that Asuma and Jiraiya both were.

The First Challenge [8.04]

[Flashback to Naruto's time with Jiraiya]

Jiraiya: I've always wanted to do something about all this hatred, I'm just not quite sure how to go about it yet. But I truly believe that eventually the day will come when all people will understand one another and live in harmony!

Naruto: Boy it sounds kinda complicated to me.

Jiraiya: And if I can't find the solution to this problem, perhaps I'll entrust you to find it instead, eh Naruto?

Naruto: Yes sir! I can't turn down a request from my master can I, Pervy Sage? [Jiraiya laughs] What? What the hell's so funny about that?

Jiraiya: Your smile is my salvation Naruto. I'm very glad I made you my student.

Naruto: You really are?

Jiraiya: But I haven't given up on doing it myself just yet, you know! I still plan to change this world with my books!

Naruto: With those books that don't sell you mean?

Jiraiya: Fool! They'll be bestsellers before you know it! And when that day finally arrives, I won't autograph your copies even if you beg me to!

Naruto: I don't want your stupid autograph anyway! [thinking in the present] I don't want that anyway, cuz you gave me something much more valuable.

Assault on the Leaf Village! [8.06]

Power to Believe [8.07]

Tsunade: [To her advisors] Jiraiya, Lady Chiyo, and Sarutobi sensei, they had what you lack: the power to believe!

Iruka: [After Pain asks where Naruto is] You're wasting your time. I have no intention of telling you anything!

Pain vs. Kakashi [8.08]

Kakashi: [After Pain asks where Naruto is] That's a stupid question.

Choza: Only using substitution and shadow clones until he determines the nature and abilities of his enemy. He hasn't changed a bit since the last time we teamed up. Skilled as always.

Choji: Pa, you tried to save me.

Kakashi: Cry later, Choji. If you can still move, you must report about Pain's powers to Lady Tsunade and have her set up countermeasures.

Choji: But Kakashi sensei you-

Kakashi: Mourn later. You must hurry. Run!

Choji: But I can't just-

Kakashi: Don't let Choza's sacrifice be in vain!

Pain: You sure are stubborn.

Kakashi: Damn he's still- He's aiming for Choji!

Choji: Pa quick! Pa, thank you for everything you've done. Just you watch.

Kakashi: Run Choji! [he does] With the chakra I have left it's impossible to destroy his entire body. And if I use that Jutsu one more time, I'll exhaust all my stamina and chakra. Without a doubt, I'll... This information must get to those who still live. Right now this is the only way to save the Hidden Leaf Village! [uses Kamui]

Pain: Of course. He must have used that ocular Jutsu to divert that attack too.

Kakashi: [dying] Well it seems that this is it for me too, Obito, Rin. Obito, this is as far as it goes. Me being your eyes. I couldn't even protect Rin. I broke my promise to you. Please forgive me, Obito, Rin, Sensei. I guess I'll be joining you now.

Surname is Sarutobi, Given Name, Konohamaru! [8.10]

Konohamaru: I am a Genin honored with the name of this village! My surname is Sarutobi and my given name is Konohamaru! You will remember me!

Pain to the World [8.11]

Tsunade: Wait, you're that child aren't you? That boy from long ago.

Pain: So you do remember me then.

ANBU agent: You know him?

Tsunade: Yes I do.

ANBU agent: Who or what is he?

Pain: A god who restores order.

Pain: However all is meaningless before overwhelming power. You great nations proved that over the years. You all think of yourselves as the main forces of this world and push death out of your thoughts. Lulled by peace, you become shallow. If you kill you shall be killed. Hatred is what connects this cause and effect.

Tsunade: Quit babbling such nonsense.

Pain: In battle both sides suffer death, injury, and pain.

Tsunade: We great nations have suffered our share of pain. Enough excuses, you can't justify your actions!

Pain: How absurd. [kills Shizune]

Ino: Lady Shizune!

Pain: Feel pain. Contemplate pain. Accept pain. Know pain.

Nine-Tails, Captured! [8.14]

Naruto: [To Pain] Create peace? Justice? Are you kidding? Give me a break! You killed my master, my sensei, hurt my friends, destroyed my village! After all of the horrible things that you've done, don't you dare talk about peace and justice!

Pain: Then tell me, what is your goal?

Naruto: First I'm gonna kill you, and then I'll bring peace to the ninja world!

Pain: I see. That is noble of you. However, what about my family? My friends? My village? They suffered the same fate as this village at the hands of you Hidden Leaf ninja. How is it fair to let only you people preach about peace and justice?

Confessions [8.15]

Hinata: I won't let you hurt Naruto anymore!

Pain: Reinforcements.

Naruto: Why did you come out here? Just run, you can't win!

Hinata: No. I'm just being selfish now.

Naruto: What's that mean? Hinata, don't put yourself in danger like this. Just go.

Hinata: I'm here because I want to be. This time I'm going to save you, Naruto. I used to be such a crybaby, always giving up before I even had a chance to start. I almost took the wrong path so many times I lost count. But you helped me find my way and take the correct path, Naruto. I always chased after you, wanting to catch up, wanting to walk together with you forever. You changed who I am, Naruto. Your smiling face saved me, Naruto. That's why I'm not afraid to die here if it means I can protect you, because... I love you. I always will.

Pain: [stabbing Hinata in front of Naruto] It was just like this when my parents were killed right before my eyes by Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf. Because of the existence of love, sacrifice is born as well as hate, and one comprehends, one knows pain.

Planetary Devastation [8.16]

Pain: [To Naruto] My pain is still far greater than yours!

Kurama: [to Naruto] Destroy everything. Erase anything that causes you pain. Give me your soul, your spirit, your vital essence, give it to me, and in exchange I will rescue you from your pain.

The Fourth Hokage [8.17]

Minato: [Appearing in Naruto's mind] Truth be told I hoped it would never get this far since I never wanted to see you again, Nine Tails. But then I was looking forward to seeing the young man that my son had become. I guess it evens out.

Kurama: Fourth Hokage! Come here! I'll rip you to shreds!

Minato: Well if that's the case then I think I'll just remain over here.

Minato: In order to try to protect something that's precious, wars are waged. As long as there is love in this world there will be hate, and some will take advantage of that hatred. As long as we have this ninja system, this monster known as hate will live. It will give birth to more Pains. Pain may have actually killed Jiraiya sensei, but if you look deeper, one could even say that this disordered Shinobi world created Pain and killed Jiraiya. To be a ninja means that you must confront hatred. And every one of us must battle against that hatred. Jiraiya sensei bequeathed to you the quest for the solution to end this hatred.

Naruto: But how can I when I can't find a way to forgive Pain? There's just no way. I can't.

Minato: I know.

Naruto: Fourth Hokage, please tell me. What do I do?

Minato: You must find that answer for yourself because even I don't know it.

Naruto: But if you and pervy sage don't have a clue about the answer, then how am I ever supposed to figure it out? Everyone always expects too much of me! I mean look at me! I'm not smart, I'm not a great ninja, I'm just me! And how's a guy like supposed to-

Minato: I'm certain that you'll be able to find the answer, Naruto. Because I believe in you completely.

Pain: You, with no answers and no solutions, just give up! [Naruto flashes back to everyone believing in him and withstands] He withstood that? Can't be. He can't throw that Jutsu. I've got five seconds. This distance will keep me safe.

Naruto: Look Pain, just give up on trying to make me give up!

The Two Students [8.18]

Naruto: I want to talk to him, the real Pain.

Inoichi: What? You're just talking nonsense now, Naruto! Don't get me wrong, we're all grateful that you defeated Pain, but just talk? No, it's too late for that!

Naruto: Then tell me. If we go destroy the real Pain, his minions, his village, and everything else, will that settle things?

Inoichi: And what good will talking to him do? Pain is an enemy who destroyed the whole Leaf! We can never forgive him!

Naruto: Yeah I know! I feel the same way you do! You think I forgive him? I wanna crush him for what he did to our village and to everyone!

Inoichi: Then why do it?

Shikaku: Inoichi. Let's respect Naruto's wishes and just let him go on ahead alone.

Inoichi: Shikaku, what are you-

Shikaku: He's the one who stopped the other Pains so I think he has the right to speak to the real one. Besides I'm sure he's got something special in mind for this meeting.

Inoichi: Yeah but-

Shikaku: That's enough. Just let him go.

Naruto: Thank you, Mr. Shikaku!

Pain: If you could not find the answer then there's nothing more you can do. So do the just thing and simply sacrifice yourself to me and to the peace that I shall soon construct. [wounds him] From this short distance I'm able to completely manipulate your every move with my chakra. But don't worry, I've avoided your vital spots because you're invaluable to be, Jinchuriki. [is stunned by the Nine Tailed Fox's killing intent]

Konan: What's wrong Nagato? What is it?

Pain: He deliberately let me.

Naruto: I came here intending to talk to you, but I also wanted to check something out.

Pain: Check out what?

Naruto: I wanted to see how I would actually feel if I stood before my enemy. I wondered what I'd do. I didn't really know myself.

Pain: And?

Naruto: And I really can't forgive you! I want to kill you so badly I can't stop shaking!

Tale of Naruto Uzumaki [8.23]

Pain: There will never be such a thing as true peace! Not as long as we're forced to live in this accursed world! Peace is impossible, impossible!

Naruto: Well then I'm going to break that curse one day. If there's truly such a thing as peace in this world, I'll find it. I'll never stop looking.

Pain: We are sibling students sharing the same sensei. We ought to be able to understand each other. When I said that to you earlier I meant that as a joke. You really are a curious fellow. You remind me of myself when I was much younger.

Konan: Nagato.

Pain: I wasn't able to continue believing in Jiraiya's ideals, nor could I keep believing in myself. But you give me a vision of a future that shows a different path from the one I walked. I think I shall believe in you after all... Naruto Uzumaki. I'll use Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth!

Konan: Nagato you can't!

Pain: No Konan, it's all right. All I'm going to do is make a new choice, even though I'd all but given up hope.

Hero of the Leaf [8.24]

Pain: [Last words to Naruto] War inflicts death, injury, and pain to everyone. The truth is, the more precious someone is to us, the harder it is to accept that they might die. Sometimes you actually convince yourself there's no way they could never die. This naivete can't be helped, especially with a generation like yours, a generation that does not know war. You may try to find meaning in war, but all there is is loss and unbearable pain. All that senseless death, it unleashes a cycle of violence and hatred that never ends. War creates only more war. And those are the things you will face in the coming days, Naruto. The parallels between you and that book, it almost feels like someone set it all up, like it was all the work of an actual God. Seems this is it for me. Naruto, I believe you of all people... can.

[After Pain dies, Konan wraps the bodies of Yahiko and Nagato]

Naruto: Him as well? You're taking him too?

Konan: Yes, this Tendo Pain was created from the body of our dear friend Yahiko. It's something that's very precious to us both.

Naruto: Yahiko. Guess I understand then. What are you going to do now? I'd hate to think that you're going back to the Akatsuki.

Konan: No I'm leaving the Akatsuki. Yahiko and Nagato meant everything to me. Yahiko's dream, and then Nagato's dream. Both of their dreams had been entrusted to you. You now embody those dreams. Nagato chose to put his faith in you, so now I will do the same. And we of the Hidden Rain Village will continue to pursue our dreams together with you.

Naruto: [remembers Jiraiya and Pain] The name Naruto, the guts to never give up, and now more Pain. They're the things I've inherited from my master and from my sibling student!

Konan: [gives him a paper bouquet] This time I wish that you will be the blossom of hope that will never wilt away.

Ino: [on Naruto's heroism] You know, I could almost fall for him!

Season 9

Season 10

Naruto's Plea [10.04]

Naruto: [To the Raikage] LOOK, I'M BEGGING YOU! I DON'T WANT US TAKING EACH OTHER DOWN FOR VENGEANCE ANYMORE! Sasuke has always been all about vengeance! He's obsessed with it. It changed him! Vengeance drives you mad! It turns you into someone you don't even recognize! I don't want anyone else to become like Sasuke! I don't want the Leaf and Cloud to kill each other!

Sasuke's Ninja Way [10.07]

Sasuke: I shut my eyes a long time ago. The things I seek now lie only in the darkness.

Sakura's Feelings [10.10]

Naruto: Sakura, what was that? What did you just say? Because I don't think I heard you right. Say that again?

Sakura: I guess. Sure. What I said was, I love you, Naruto. And you also need to know that Sasuke doesn't mean anything to me anymore. I was totally crazy to ever like him in the first place. Listen more carefully when a girl confesses her feelings for you.

Naruto: But why, huh? Why tell me?! If this is supposed to be some kind of joke or something, it's not funny at all Sakura! What happened?!

Sakura: It's nothing, really. I just finally realized my true feelings. I mean I can't continue to love a rogue shinobi, a criminal, can I? I'm not a child anymore. It's time to face up to reality. That's why, Naruto, you can forget about that promise you made to me. You can stop alright? You can stop chasing after Sasuke.

Yamato: What's going on?

Kiba: [flashes back to Sakura telling everyone about her plan] Damn it! Is this really what she had in mind?

Naruto: Look, Sakura. What happened to you? You just suddenly started liking me?

Sakura: I told you, nothing's happened! As for why I fell in love with you, it's obvious.

[Naruto flashes back to Sakura's romance with Sasuke]

Kakashi: Sakura, you're...

Sakura: Sasuke just keeps running further away from me, but Naruto, you've always stuck by my side no matter what. You always cheered me up. I guess I finally see you, Naruto. Your true self, who you really are. When our whole village was brought to its knees by Pain, you returned just when you were needed most. The hero who defended the village, right now everyone in the Leaf admires you, and I'm just one of them. You used to be a mischievous prankster loser, but you've become something wonderful, and I've watched it all, while Sasuke adds to his crimes and just keeps breaking my heart. He's always becoming more of a stranger, but Naruto, I'm able to be close to you like this and you give me comfort. From the bottom of my heart, I care about you.

Naruto: [shoving Sakura] Quit it! Just stop, Sakura! This joke of yours isn't funny at all!

Sakura: Why are you so upset? I'm telling you, I like you instead of Sasuke, it's like that old saying, "Women are as fickle as the autumn weather."

Naruto: Just stop! I hate people who lie to themselves, so just stop it!

Sakura: So that's it? You think I'm lying to myself? I'm the one who decides how I feel, not you! If you hate me, just come out and say so! Don't make some lame excuse!

Naruto: But it doesn't make sense! You left the village and came all the way out here and just to tell me that?!

Sakura: Just to tell you? "Just"?! Is that what you said?! You think it's easy for a girl to profess her love like I just did?! Yes, I came all the way out here! Of course I'd come as far as this, it's always Sasuke this and Sasuke that, chasing after him and putting yourself in danger! You're the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, the Akatsuki's after you! So worry about your own skin for a change! Don't you get it? I'm trying to tell you that you don't have to chase after Sasuke and endanger yourself! I came out here to find you because I want you to return to the village right away! That's all!

Naruto: I'm sorry, but it still sounds like an excuse you made up. I know you, Sakura. Maybe better than you think.

Sakura: Then why don't you understand what I'm trying to say? I don't care about Sasuke at all anymore since he's become a criminal. So the promise between us doesn't stand anymore!

Naruto: But it's not just about that promise now. Maybe I understand better why Sasuke is becoming obsessed with revenge and is causing so much damage. Sasuke really loved his family and his clan. And I think it's because he loved them so much that he just can't forgive what happened.

Kiba: If that's true, then why would he join the Akatsuki after defeating the unforgivable Itachi?

Naruto: That's not how it went down. What really happened-

Kakashi: Naruto!

Naruto: [flashes back to agreeing to keep it confidential] It doesn't matter even if there isn't a promise between us anymore. Because rescuing Sasuke is just something that I have to do.

Kiba: What do we do now Sakura? Look why don't we just go ahead and tell him the truth?

Sakura: [silences him] Enough, I'm going home.

As One's Friend [10.12]

Sai: Sakura didn't come out here to confess her love. She came to tell you something that she and her Leaf classmates decided.

Naruto: Yeah she was acting really weird. So she was hiding something after all?

Sai: I've come to understand her feelings and why she couldn't tell you.

Naruto: All right tell us Sai, what did they decide?

Sai: They'll dispose of Sasuke themselves. Your comrades are are all committed and are ready to move.

Naruto: Even Sakura too? Tell me, did she actually agree to something like that? Sakura's completely in love with Sasuke! There's no way! She couldn't have!

Sai: After the Akatsuki's assault on our village, Shinobi of the Leaf can't support Sasuke, not when he's an Akatsuki too. Sakura isn't a fool. Or a child who doesn't understand the circumstances or the situation. That's why she came all the way here to try to tell you that in person.

Sai: I can't just let Sakura be. I'm a member of Team 7.

Gaara: Naruto. I will have you know that this is also a battle to protect the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, mainly you. So for the sake of the shinobi world and as Kazekage, I will make sure to protect you at all costs. And if as an Akatsuki subordinate, Sasuke were to stand against our Allied Shinobi Forces, I will not show mercy. [flashes back to his confrontation with Sasuke] I'm afraid that Sasuke doesn't see you anymore. The only thing he sees now is darkness. Naruto, you told me that you would become Hokage one day. Well I've become Kazekage. And if you've truly resolved to become a Kage, then you're going to need to do what must be done as Sasuke's friend.

Temari: We've said everything we came here to say so let's go, Gaara. We're going to head back home to our village now. Kakashi Hatake, the Sand will proceed as if you will be confirmed as the Hokage. As an ally we ask that there be no confusion in communications.

Kakashi: Understood.

Gaara: [to Naruto] I consider you a friend. In the past, "friend" was just a word to me. Nothing more, nothing less. But after meeting you, I realized something. What's important is the meaning of that word.

Danzo Shimura [10.15]

Karin: [to Sasuke] You okay? Hurry, go on, bite down!

Danzo: [Last words, regarding the Third Hokage] You were the tree leaf upon which light shone. I was nothing but a foundation hidden in darkness.

Sakura's Resolve [10.16]

Sakura: [flashing back while going to kill Sasuke] Sasuke, when did I fall in love with you? It seems so long ago but back then, I was just infatuated with how cool you were. And then, even better than I could have hoped, you became my teammate. Together we were Team 7. Being teammates didn't change my feelings. I was still hopelessly in love with the cool Sasuke. Just gazing at his handsome face was enough for me. I never gave a moment's thought to who he really was behind that pensive face. You carried a shadow inside you, and when I finally noticed it was too late. Naruto knew. He knew about your shadow, your dark burden. I was the one left behind. But even then my feelings didn't change. I tried in my own way to catch up to the two of you. But Sasuke is no longer the person we once thought he was. He's far beyond our reach now. But I'm also grateful. However, I've already decided. I'm going to take care of Sasuke myself.

Karin: [as Sasuke prepares to kill her] I wish I could've seen your face from those days just one more time.

The Burden [10.18]

Kakashi: Sasuke, I've told you this before and I don't like to repeat myself, but I'll say this once more. [flashes back to saying these words] Let it go. You've got to forget about revenge.

Sasuke: [Laughs maniacally] Itachi, my father, my mother, my entire clan! Bring them all here to me! Do that and I'll quit right now!

Kakashi: I don't want to kill you.

Sasuke: Do you really think you can kill me at any moment you wish? Stop acting like you're still my sensei! Go ahead and try something if you like, I'm just itching to kill you, Kakashi!

Kakashi: [having to kill Sasuke] Now I finally understand what the Third Hokage must have gone through.

Kakashi: I think deep down you know the truth.

Sasuke: [insane] All the laughter, every one of you is laughing! Itachi sacrificed his life but you're still laughing, cackling together like fools you're just ignorant of EVERYTHING! I can hear nothing but contempt and jeering in your voices. I want to change those laughs to screams and wails of misery!

Two Fates [10.19]

Sasuke: Not long ago I finally got my revenge on the one behind Itachi's betrayal. I took down a high ranking Hidden Leaf elder right here, the one called Danzo.

Kakashi: What? Sasuke killed Danzo all by himself?

Sasuke: I've never felt like this before. I can feel the tainted Uchiha name becoming cleansed, I feel the Uchiha at last being freed from this rotting shinobi world. You couldn't even begin to understand it. And besides, isn't what I'm doing exactly what you Leaf shinobi have wanted all along? You've always snubbed and put down the Uchiha clan, so I'll simply help erase the Uchiha from your memories... by killing all of you and then destroying the Hidden Leaf Village! Severing all bonds with the Hidden Leaf will be the ultimate purification and that shall lead to the Uchiha's true restoration!

High-Level Shinobi [10.20]

Sasuke: Naruto, no matter what you say to me, I'm not changing. I'm still going to kill each and every person in the Hidden Leaf, including you! I'll get revenge for the Uchiha clan.

Naruto: But is that really the only way Sasuke?

Sasuke: Your only choices are to kill me and become the hero who saved the entire village, or get killed by me and be known as a loser!

Naruto: If you attack the Hidden Leaf, I'll have no choice. I will fight you, don't doubt that. Until that day, save your hatred. Then you can throw all of it right at me. I'm the only one who can handle all that hate! Do you understand? I'm the only one who can fulfill that duty, so I'll bear the burden of your hatred, and I'll die with you!

Sasuke: What is it with you huh? Just what in the hell do you want from me?! Why are you so fixated on me?!

Naruto: Because you're my friend.

Sakura: Naruto stands her with clear resolve... [flashes back to his words] While my courage and determination do nothing to waver. I'm a Shinobi too, but I'm always crying and relying too much on Naruto. I came here thinking I was past all that, but still I hesitate. I haven't really prepared myself at all. I can't do anything, I can't say anything. All I can do is to trust them.

Sakura: Naruto, as always, thank you. Because of you I still don't have to give up on my dream that Team 7 will laugh together again one day.

Prophecy of the Great Lord Elder [10.24]

Sasuke: [After having Itachi's eyes transplanted] They fit quite nicely. I feel Itachi's visual prowess. I can tell that I've already become so much stronger.

Season 11

Season 12

The Next Challenge! Naruto vs. The Nine Tails [12.03]

Dark Naruto: So what that you've come up with some autograph!? What a joke! Everyone in the village is just falling over themselves to deceive you. They've been lying to us since we were kids, inventing stupid rules and making us outcasts. Don't you remember that?! It was always so hard, and so painful too. I'm the only one who will ever understand you. You can't trust any of those villagers!

Naruto: Maybe. The villagers are important, but there's someone else that I have to trust more first. What I need to do right now is believe in myself. I need to trust the me that all the villagers believe in.

The Orange Spark [12.04]

Kurama: [to Naruto] You will never be able to control my power! You are only a tiny little piece of my hatred!

Naruto: [To Kushina] I've wanted to meet you for so long now... mom!

Target: Nine Tails [12.05]

Kushina: [To Naruto] To start with, I'll tell you about the Nine-Tail's Jinchuriki before you. That person was me.

Kushina: [About Naruto and Sasuke during her flashback] He'll be classmates with little Sasuke here. I hope you two get along.

The Fourth Hokage's Death Match [12.06]

Thank You [12.07]

Tobi: [to Minato] You're worthy of your title, Fourth Hokage. Injuring me and separating Nine Tails from me. But he will be mine one day. I shall rule this world. There are plenty of ways to do it.

Kushina: I can still do it, Minato. [uses chakra chains on Nine-Tails, waking Naruto] Woke you up huh? Sorry Naruto.

Minato: Kushina.

Kushina: I'll take the Nine Tails with me to my death because that way we can reduce the interval between now and when he emerges again. It's all I can manage now with what little chakra I have left, but I'll be able to save you both. So thank you for everything you've done.

Minato: Kushina, you're the one. It was you who made me the Fourth Hokage. You made me a man and you made me this baby's father. And yet...

Kushina: Oh Minato, please don't give me that sad look. I'm happy because you love me and what's more, today is the birthday of our beautiful child. But most of all if I were to imagine me alive, and our future, the three of us as a family, I can't really picture us as being anything but truly happy. I guess I were allowed just one regret, I wish that I could have seen Naruto all grown up. I wish that I could have seen that.

Kushina: [To Minato about sealing baby Naruto] But he's our son, Minato! Which is exactly why I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden! And tell me, why use the Reaper Death Seal?! If it's just so I can meet Naruto when he's grown up, especially if it's only going to be for a short time, then there's no need for you to die! I'd rather you stay with him and watched over him. I just don't understand why it has to be this way! Why does Naruto have to be sacrificed for the balance of power between the Tailed Beasts, for his nation, for his village? Why do you have to sacrifice yourself at all, just for me please?!

Minato: To forsake one's nation and one's village is exactly as bad as forsaking one's own child. Your very own homeland was destroyed so you should know that. A harsh life awaits those without a land to call their home. Our family... is Shinobi. Finally, even if I were to live, I could never be a substitute for you. You won't have much time with him, but there's something only you can tell Naruto, something that I just can't. That's a mother's role. I'm not doing this just for you. I'm doing this for Naruto. I will die for my son. It is my duty as a father.

Kushina: [Last words] Naruto. Don't be a picky eater, just eat a lot so you grow big and strong! And make sure that you bathe everyday and that you stay warm too. Also don't stay up too late. Make sure you get plenty of sleep. Don't forget to make friends as well. You don't need a ton of them okay? just a few is fine as long as they're ones that you can really trust. And your mom wasn't very good at this, make sure you study hard and learn your ninjutsu. Always remember everyone is good at some things and not so good at others. So even if something doesn't go well don't get depressed, okay? When you're at the academy respect your teachers and your upperclassmen. Oh and this is important. Regarding the Three Prohibitions of the shinobi, be extra careful about loaning and borrowing money, take your pay, put it into a savings account. No alcohol, not until you're of age. Too much sake is bad for you so practice moderation. And another prohibition is women. Remember I am one so I don't know much about it. Keep in mind that this world is made up of men and women and so at some point you'll notice girls, and that's normal. Just be careful, don't fall for the bad ones. Just go out there and find someone who's like me. Oh and that reminds me. Speaking of the Three Prohibitions, you should be wary of Jiraiya-sensei you know. Naruto I'm sorry to say there will be plenty of hardships and painful times ahead. Just be true to yourself! Make sure to have dreams and the confidence to make those dreams come true! [Crying] Oh Naruto there's so much... oh so much more. There are so many things I want to pass on to you, so much more I want to tell you. I wish I could stay with you longer. I love you. Minato I'm sorry. I used up your time.

Minato: [Last words] No it's all right. Naruto, my words to you. Well I guess your talkative mom said it all. Eight signed seal.

[Flashback ends]

Kushina: I'm sorry for making you the Nine Tails' vessel, Naruto. For making you bear what should have been our burden to carry. For not being able to stand by your side.

Naruto: You don't have to apologize. Yeah sure in the past I went through a lot as a jinchūriki, but I would never blame you or dad for that. So yeah I never really had parents or felt a parent's love. After all you and dad weren't around. But still I had a feeling, and besides I now know it sure. Because you and dad both sacrificed yourselves just for me, so now I realize there's more than just Nine-Tails inside me. There's your love too! That makes me really happy! Mom and dad, I'm glad I'm your kid!

Kushina: Minato, did you hear that? Our hopes really did get through to reach our son! Naruto. Thank you for letting me become a mother, and thank you for letting Minato be a father. Thank you for being born to us! [disappears]

The Man Named Kisame [12.09]

Kisame: That's right, I knew all about it from the very moment that I first killed a comrade. So what am I then? An enemy or an ally? What is my purpose, my status? Where am I trying to get? And where can I go to achieve inner peace? There is only one thing clear to me: that I felt I was trapped in a false existence.

Kisame: [flashback] Most sharks are ovoviviparous, which means that the eggs hatch inside the female's body before the young are born. However with some kinds of sharks, the number of eggs that hatch will differ from the number of young that emerge out of their mother's belly. Do you know why that is? Because of cannibalism. Right from the moment they hatch, they start eating each other inside their mother's uterus. The fratricidal warfare begins as soon as they are born. To each shark, all the others are just food to be eaten. Starting today you are an Akatsuki member and my companion. So be wary of me.

Itachi: Same goes for you.

Kisame: Well let's be friends and have some fun alright? And hope that we will not end up as each other's final opponents.

Itachi: No one who dares to raise a hand against a comrade ever dies a decent death. Remember that.

Kisame: Well that means our fates are sealed. Seems you and I are depraved and worthless.

Itachi: Not true. We are both human, not fish. No matter who you are, you do not truly what kind of man you've become until you reach the very end. One realizes one's true nature at the moment of death. Don't you think that's what death is about?

Kisame: [last words, present] Itachi, did you find it at the moment of your death? Did you discover the kind of person you truly were? Well Itachi, it seems that in the end, I was not a worthless human being after all.

Guy: A shinobi's life is measured by the manner of his death. Kisame Hoshigaki, I will remember you for the rest of my life.

The Angelic Herald of Death [12.10]

Konan: [To Tobi] I've been waiting for you. Now that you're here, I will stop you.

Konan: [On Naruto] He is the light. That's why we can all carry flowers of hope.

Konan: [To Tobi] You are darkness, and in a world without light, all that flowers do is wilt!

The Bridge to Peace [12.11]

Tobi: There's no such thing as peace! There's no such thing as hope! Nagato only believed in Naruto to find solace in his pathetic existence!

Konan: This can't be. [flashes back to Yahiko and Nagato's dreams]

Tobi: The neverending Hidden Rain downpour is letting up? What's going on?

Konan: Yahiko! Nagato! Their wills shall not be extinguished. I too believe in Naruto too, and it's his turn now! Naruto will be the bridge to peace, and I vow right now that I shall be the pillar that supports him!

For My Friend [12.19]

Gaara: [to the Allied Shinobi Forces] In the name of gain and profit for one's nation and village, Shinobi have hated and hurt each other for many years. From the first to the third ninja war and the conflicts in between. All of that hatred cried out for power, thus I was born. In the past I was hated, and power, and a Jinchuriki. I hated this world, and all its people, and thought about destroying both. That's exactly what the Akatsuki is trying to do now. But then a single shinobi from The Hidden Leaf Village stopped me. [flashes back to his times with Naruto] He cried for me. I was his enemy, yet still he cried for me! And he called me his friend even though we had battled! He saved me! We were on different sides, but we were both Jinchuriki. Between those who have experienced the same pain, there can be no hate. There are no enemies here now because each one of us bares the pain of having been hurt by the Akatsuki! The Sand, the Stone, the Leaf, the Mist, and the Cloud are no more. NOW THERE IS ONLY SHINOBI! And if you are still unable to forgive the Sand, you can come back and face me after this war is over!

Kakashi: The looks on their faces have changed.

Gaara: The friend I spoke of who saved me is the target of our enemy! If he falls into their hands, our world is finished! I want to protect my friend, and I want to protect this entire world! But I'm too young and inexperienced to do that. So I ask you, all of you, please lend me your strength for this fight!

[The Allied Shinobi Forces cheer]

Sai and Shin [12.21]

Kankuro: [to Sasori] The true source of your power lies in your soul. You tried to erase your soul by becoming a puppet, but you didn't fully succeed. I can still feel it inside this puppet that you made, where your undying soul dwells. You may be living flesh now, but that's only a shell, nothing more than a mere puppet. You were a first rate Shinobi puppet master one time, not just some lowlife that allows someone else to manipulate him.

An Old Nemesis Returns [12.23]

Zabuza: That day on the bridge, you were supposed to finish me off and send me to hell. When I came to I was in the same place as Haku. And I thought something was off. It seems that this is neither heaven nor hell.

Kakashi: This is the world of the living. You shouldn't be here.

The First and Last Opponent [12.24]

Kakashi: Well it takes quite a lot for me to lose my temper too you know, but after this mess I've reached my boiling point. I'm Kakashi the Copy Ninja, I know 1000 jutsu, and now I'll use them all and live up to my name!

Battleground! [12.26]

Dan Kato: You're all grown up, Choza.

Choza: That's right, and guess what? I'm about to grow even bigger.

True Kindness [12.31]

Asuma: [To Choji] Snap out of it fatso! Take me down!

The Complete Ino-Shika-Cho Formation! [12.32]

Shikamaru: Snap out of it, Choji! Stay focused! We aren't some little brats who need to be protected anymore! We're the protectors now! Do you want Asuma to murder his own child? Your idea of kindness is wrong!

Ino: Yeah Shikamaru is right, Choji. Just remember the piercings and what they stand for.

Choza: Quit whining and pouting, Choji! Remember, you're the 16th head of the Akimichi clan.

Choji: [flashback] Let's see... the symbol on the far right belongs to us, the Akimichi clan right? And the other two are...

Choza: The middle one's the Nara clan's, and the leftmost one is the Yamanaka clan's, three clans that use highly unusual secret ninjutsu. We've been combining our powers for many generations now and the three clans share a special relationship. To strengthen our union and protect our clans, the Sarutobi clan bestows ear piercings upon the three of us, and every generation the members of our clan swear an oath of loyalty on those earrings, so they're not just mere decorations son.

Choza: 'Eventually you'll raise your own child and pass these earrings onto them. What is it?

Choji: Do you really think I could get married one day?

Choza: Hey what kind of talk is that? You don't? So you understand why master Asuma continues to be hard on you? Listen, I was able to get married wasn't I? Be more confident!

Choji: I thought it was just an oath, part of a ritual. Now I hereby swear as the 16th leader of the clan, I will pass on this oath entrusted to me by the 15th, and I shall carry it onto the 17th leader, my child to be. [flashback ends] Thank you Ino, and I'm sorry, but I'm okay now. You can go back. In order to protect the Yamanaka and Nara clans and the Hidden Leaf Village, I, Choji Akimichi swear to transform from a lowly caterpillar to a powerful butterfly and take flight!

Choza: Choji!

Choji: It's time to change.

Choza: He grew wings without even using the pills!

Asuma: You stopped me with my own weapon. That's very impressive. I'm moved and yet I can't move. It's Shadow Possession Shuriken Jutsu. That's the reason why you can't move right now.

Sealing Corps: Alright you guys, you can leave the rest to the Sealing Corps.

Asuma: Could you please wait just a moment more?

Sealing Corps: Are you kidding me?

Shikamaru: We already heard your last words once before. Are you really gonna put us through that again?

Asuma: But there's just one more that I couldn't tell you the last time I spoke them, and it's this: that I have got nothing more to say to you. Your Ino-Shika-Cho formation is complete.

Season 13

Medic Ninja in Danger [13.03]

Sakura: [receives a love letter from a shinobi she saved, thinks of Sasuke] Thanks for this, but I have someone else already though, see.

Season 14

Naruto Enters the Battle! [14.01]

Gaara: [To his father about the One-Tail] He is long gone and I am no longer the jinchūriki that you created, father!

A Father's Hope, A Mother's Love [14.02]

Gaara: My mother was amazing. Thanks to her I have now received medicine from you, father.

Contact! Naruto vs. Itachi [14.03]

Itachi: Self-sacrifice. A true shinobi does not set out to seek glory. They protect from the shadows. That is the mark of a true ninja. Shisui was the one who taught me that.

Itachi: You said that you consider Sasuke a brother. That's why I knew that you, Naruto, were the only one who could stop him.

Naruto: Itachi. Thanks for putting your trust in me. And you don't have to worry any longer. You've done enough for the village. You don't need to do any more at all. Just let me take care of the rest of it!

The Acknowledged One [14.04]

Itachi: [To Naruto] I admit you are stronger than before. You have much more power but as a result you seem to have lost sight of something extremely important. Naruto, you must remember. You know why the people of the Leaf Village stopped hating and fearing you. You know why they've accepted you as one of their own. It's because you showed that you understood them and you fought for their acceptance. You just said everyone who cares about you helped you get where you are. If you forget about everyone else because you now have power, you'll become arrogant and egotistical and eventually you will become just like Madara. However powerful you are, don't take it all on yourself, because if you do you will surely fail.

Season 15

The Unbreakable Mask and the Shattered Bubble [15.04]

Tobi: Now that the war has begun, names are irrelevant. Madara, Tobi, call me whatever you wish.

Naruto: Who are you? Just tell us, who are you really?

Tobi: Nobody. I don't want to be anybody. I just want to fulfill Project Tsuki no Me.

Naruto: [To Tobi] Even if you think that this world is worthless, do you seriously think that you can get away with starting a war like this, and then just come along and try to play that you're nobody?! You piss me off! I'm gonna tear that mask right off your face!

Four Tails, the King of Sage Monkeys [15.06]

Sasuke: [After impaling a White Zetsu with a Totsuka Blade] Now to test these outside. I already know these eyes see the darkness quite well. [Reveals his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan]

Madara: [flashback] Nine Tails, this transient form is nothing more than a nodule. You're only a piece of yourself, a pittance of your true power.

Kurama: Quiet.

Madara: You are merely an ignorant and unstable power.

Kurama: Shut up.

Madara: Those who shall guide you are the Uchiha. You Tailed Beasts are simply servants of those with visual prowess.

Kurama: Shut the hell up!

Madara: Now obey me.

Hashirama: Nine Tails, your power is too great, too destructive. I'm sorry, I can't let you run around loose.

Kurama: [present] No matter what words they use...

Mito: Whenever you exercise your power you always draw hatred to you. Please stay quiet inside me.

Kurama: [present] Humans are always saying...

Kushina: This is an unfortunate situation for the both of us so please listen. You're here to keep the world in check but I'm here to watch over you.

Kurama: [present] ...The same thing.

Kurama [15.08]

Kurama: Keep doing what you've been doing and prove yourself through your actions, Naruto! That's who you are!

Two-Man Team [15.09]

Naruto: I just learned a whole bunch of really difficult names all at once!

The Promise of Victory [15.10]

[All of Naruto's friends are running to aid him]

Hinata: Naruto. I've run after you my whole life. And even now here I am, still running after you. But when this war is over, I am going to run anymore. I'll stand with you. I'll hold your hand. And I'll walk with you by your side. So please Naruto, wait for me!

Kiba: Naruto, it seems like ages ago I set my eye on you as my rival. You just hang tight against Madara til I get there!

Shino: I'll support you fully with my Ninjutsu, Naruto. And the reason is not necessary!

Shikamaru: Naruto is doing well out there. Yeah he's reckless but despite the way he acts, sometimes he's actually pretty sharp and he can also be surprisingly resourceful.

Choji: People think that Naruto's dumb and I'm fat, but it turns out that really isn't the case at all. I guess appearances truly can be deceiving. You just wait, skinny Choji is coming to help out smart Naruto!

Shikamaru: Although he isn't really a calm and collected strategist, but I am. And I'm coming to help you Naruto. Just hold on!

Ino: Dad, thank you! You relayed Naruto's mighty heart to everyone in the Allied Forces. And now we must bring true your prediction.

Tenten: I hope that Guy-Sensei is all right and that he's protecting Naruto. Kakashi-Sensei is with him so they must be okay, but...

Sai: If it just wasn't raining, we could ride my Super Beast Scrolls drawings.

Rock Lee: Stop complaining Sai, and pick up your speed. This is the time for each one of us to follow Guy-Sensei and Naruto's examples and exceed ourselves!

Sai: Yes, this is camaraderie. I have a really good grasp of it now thanks to you, Naruto.

Sakura: Naruto, you saved the Hidden Leaf Village, and now you're trying to save the entire Shinobi World. We've always let you put the burden on your shoulders and trusted you to do the impossible, but this time no matter what you say, you'll have help. Not just from me, everyone will stand with you and fight together!

A Will of Stone [15.12]

Sasuke: Why me?! What's different about me versus our father and mother?! Why only me?!

Itachi: Because you didn't know anything. You had no part in the Uchiha Clan's folly. You were just a child. And you think I did it just for you? I wanted you to grow up and judge me. I deserved to be dealt with only by another Uchiha. And so I took advantage of the hatred inside you. That's why I failed. Ultimately I only filled you with hatred and made you go rogue. I turned you into a criminal. Back before I died I tried to lead you down the path to righteousness, down a path without any forks or turns. I changed the signposts on it with lies and my visual prowess.

Sasuke: What, I was supposed to happily walk that one path, ignorant of everything?! I couldn't! I never could have walked that path!

Itachi: Yes, you're completely right. You ought to decide your journey for yourself.

Sasuke: No matter how you try to obscure the signposts, my eyes can strip away all of your lies! [Itachi scoffs] What's so damn funny?

Itachi: [Thinking of Naruto] Nothing. Just realizing that the signposts weren't your only guide.

The Risks of the Reanimation Jutsu [15.13]

Sasuke: Itachi, you always kept lying to me, saying things like "later" and "next time" and then you died on me. So this time for sure I'm gonna hold you to your promise.

Sibling Tag Team [15.14]

Kabuto: [To Itachi and Sasuke] The estranged brothers come together to stop me. How exciting!

Kabuto: Lord Orochimaru immediately tried to acquire that power. However, he didn't yet possess a body that could tolerate it. That's why Lord Orochimaru was not able to become the perfect Sage, not like the one I have now become!

Itachi: I see. As I thought you're using Sage Mode.

Sasuke: You're just like Orochimaru! You're just a disgusting snake!

Kabuto: You ought to know better, snake expert. I am no longer a snake. My Sage power has allowed me to shed my skin and I'm now a dragon!

To Each Their Own Leaf [15.15]

Kabuto: My name is symbolic. My eyeglasses, a tool. From the very beginning I've been nobody. From the very beginning I had nothing.

The Izanami Activated [15.17]

Kabuto: [To Itachi] You, a genius who always had everything, would never understand at all. The only thing I want is to be who and what I am!

Itachi: [using Izanami] As I told you, I hold your fate in my hands right now.

I Will Love You Always [15.19]

Sasuke: [to Itachi] I guess it won't matter what I say, will it? As soon as I saw you, I tailed you because I wanted to confirm whether or not Tobi and Danzō told me the truth. But that wasn't the only thing I was able to verify. When I'm with you I remember things. Childhood feelings of adoring my big brother. That's the reason why the closer I get to you, the closer we become to how we were before as brothers, and the more I understand you. The more that I come to hate the Hidden Leaf Village for causing you so much pain. I hate it more now than I ever hated it before. I know what you want me to do, how you want me to be. You're my big brother so I know that you're going to disapprove. But it's because I'm your brother that no matter what you say, you're never going to stop me. Even if you protect the village now, I will still destroy it someday.

Itachi: [to Sasuke] You don't ever have to forgive me. And whatever you do from here on out, know this. No matter what, I will love you always.

Secret of the Transportation Technique [15.22]

Kurama: [To Tobi through Naruto] Sorry but your words don't apply to this guy.

Guy: That's Nine Tails!

Kurama: The Fourth entrusted him with me and Naruto's befriended me now and mastered my power too! The Fourth sealed me inside Naruto as a force to take you down!

Obito and Madara [15.24]

Madara: [to Obito] Everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light in this world, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace initiates wars and hatred is born in order to protect love.

I'm in Hell [15.25]

Obito: I get it. I see now. I am in hell.

Season 16

Season 17

The Ties That Bind [17.03]

Neji: Long ago those words of yours freed me from the shackles of fate.

Naruto: Why would you go so far for me? Even give up your life? Why?

Neji: [last words] Because you called me a genius... [thinking] Father, I finally understand the freedom you felt, choosing to die to protect your comrades.

Obito: Didn't you say you wouldn't let any of your comrades die? Naruto! You said "I'll never let my comrades die". Those were your words. Now look around you and try to say it again! I said try to say those words again! As the bodies of your comrades grow cold in your arms, take in their deaths!

Hiashi: Hizashi, forgive me. Neji is...

Obito: This will just keep happening and all your flippant words and ideals will become lies. This is the end result of ideals and hopes. This is reality. Naruto, what is there for you in this reality? Your mother and father are gone. Your master Jiraiya too. And if you keep standing against us, you'll lose all your friends one by one. This shall become a world where no one that acknowledges you will exist.

Kakashi: Obito.

Obito: The only thing that awaits you is your worst nightmare, which you know very well. Solitude!

Madara: You have become almost exactly like the old me, Obito. Naruto will fall shortly, which will break the will of the Allied Forces.

Obito: So why keep living in this reality huh? Now come join us, Naruto!

Hinata: [slaps Naruto to snap him out of it] Neji just said that in your hands you hold more than one life. Do you understand what he meant? Do you? "I'll never let my comrades die". Those words and the conviction behind them are not lies! For he stored them in his heart and lived them out til the end. Neji really did. It isn't just you, it's all of us. We all hold those words and feelings in our hearts. They're what bind our lives together and make us comrades. If we were all to give up and just discard those words and feelings, Neji's act will have been for nothing. And that is when your comrades truly die, for you are no longer comrades then. That's how I feel. So please stand up together with me Naruto, because never going back on one's word... That is also my ninja way!

Those Who Dance in the Shadows [17.04]

Kakashi: I haven't been able to save many a comrade. Which is why I keep telling myself this time, I will protect them.

Sasuke's Answer [17.09]

Sasuke: I'm going to head to the battlefield. I will not let the village and Itachi become nothing!

Hole [17.10]

Naruto: [To Obito] I'm saying that I can endure any amount of pain if it involves my comrades! I mean that I don't want to give them up! It might seem selfish of me, but still it's even more painful for me not to have my comrades in here!

Obito: [to Kakashi] Look at me! There's nothing in my heart! I don't feel pain any longer! There's no need to feel guilty, Kakashi. This hole was opened up by this hellish world.

Something to Fill the Hole [17.11]

Kakashi: The hole in one's heart gets filled by others around you. But people won't flock to someone who abandons the memory of his friends and gives up on the world just because things don't go the way he wants them to.

Minato: [to Sakura] Are you Naruto's girlfriend?

Naruto: Huh? Um... Yeah, yeah, I suppose you could say that.

Sakura: You shut your trap! [headbutts Naruto] Don't waste your energy talking.

Naruto: You're supposed to be healing me, not hurting me even more!

Sakura: Oh I'll just heal the extra damage too.

Minato: She kinda reminds me a bit of Kushina.

Sasuke: A whole lot has happened, but I decided to protect the Hidden Leaf Village now. Then after, I will... become Hokage. [everyone is shocked]

Naruto: All right! Team 7 is finally back in action once again! Sakura, Sasuke, let's go!

Sakura: Right!

Sasuke: Yeah!

Season 18

An Opening [18.07]

Obito: You're going to lecture me now? Bit late for that sensei, don't you think? You're always too late when it matters most. [flashes back to his tragic past] I'm glad my teacher was a Hokage. That made it easy to give up on becoming Hokage. [flashes back to attacking the Hidden Leaf]

Minato: If only I had realized that man was Obito, I may have been able to stop him. And then I may have been able to prevent Kushina's death. I may not have had to make Naruto into the Nine Tails jinchūriki. If only I had noticed that he was Obito. Perhaps the Shinobi world wouldn't have ended up like this either.

Obito: You were my teacher and yet you didn't realize it was me. That's just who you are fundamentally. How pathetic. You died a hero Hokage, but now exposed as a disgrace in front of your living son. That's right, a Hokage is a pitiable existence compared to what I am now.

Obito Uchiha [18.13]

Naruto: Wrong, you're Obito Uchiha. When I touched your chakra earlier I saw into your past. Our personal histories and our dream of being Hokage are the same, almost exactly the same. Neither of us knew your parents, and we both lost someone precious to us. Which is why you tried to scare me by saying solitude is my worst nightmare. At the start you wanted to be acknowledged and praised by others too. I bet that's why you wanted to become Hokage. I mean if you're the same as me. But look at you now! You've made all shinobi your enemy and spout nonsense that it's for the world's sake when really you're only doing it for yourself! Not one person, not even those precious to you, would ever acknowledge this current dream of yours. You used to have the same dream as me, but now you're the opposite of a Hokage! It's cuz you're just like me that-

Obito: No it's because of that. That's why I wanted to see you despair about this world. Or I suppose I wanted to feel again for myself that the path that I've chosen for myself is indeed not a mistake. When I was battling against you, you made me recall myself from my youth. That's why I wanted to test you, to see when you would fall into despair and reject your feelings and past.

Naruto: It's because we're so alike that you really annoy me! Get it?! You're just abandoning everything and running away!

Obito: No, what I'm doing is no different than a Hokage's actions. More in fact, for I can truly bring about peace.

Naruto: Are you serious right now? You really truly believe that?

Obito: [flashes back to telling Rin his dream of being Hokage] Yes I do. There's no need to voluntarily walk a rugged path whose destination isn't even clear and step over comrades' corpses. So anyone who's sensible would choose a shortcut with a fixed outcome. That's right, the goal a Hokage should seek is to create world peace.

Naruto: You don't know what you're talking about. What I want to know isn't the shortcut or the easy path, but how to navigate the rugged one!

Obito: Would you still say the same thing even if both those paths led to?

Naruto: But in the beginning, how can you tell which one is the rugged path? I mean, you never really know until someone starts walking down it. A Hokage is one who walks ahead of everyone else, enduring their own pain! So that's why a Hokage never walks over his comrades' corpses. There's no shortcut to becoming Hokage and no way out for the one who becomes Hokage, correct?

Madara Uchiha Arises [18.19]

Black Zetsu: [fusing onto Obito's body] I am Madara's will incarnate. I will eliminate anyone who gets in Madara's way.

Season 19

Season 20

The Two Mangekyo [20.02]

Obito: [To Madara] The current me is the one who wanted to be Hokage: Obito Uchiha!

The Infinite Dream [20.12]

Madara: I taught you to use the darkness in people's hearts to manipulate them, didn't I Obito? If there's no darkness, you create it.

Truth [20.45]

Madara: [After finishing the Infinite Tsukuyomi] It's time you woke up. It's all over.

[Madara is impaled from behind by Black Zetsu for a literal backstab]

Black Zetsu: Wrong, Madara. You are not the savior, nor is this is the end of things.

Madara: I can't move!

Sakura: What's going on?

Black Zetsu: How can you say that you, unlike Obito, are able to completely take advantage of others? Isn't it presumptuous to think that you alone are different? My dear Madara, you have also been caught inside a phantom dream, a dream that I concocted.

Madara: Inside a dream? What are you talking about, Black Zetsu? I was the one that created you in the first place. You are nothing more than my will made incarnate!

Black Zetsu: Wrong again. My will is... Kaguya's.

Madara: Hashirama, where did I go wrong?

Season 21

She of the Beginning [21.01]

Black Zetsu: May the infinite moonlight guide you. Use my body. Become one again!

Kaguya: [To Team 7 before transporting them to her personal dimension] This place, this land is my precious nursery. And that means I cannot let it be damaged any further.

The No. 1 Most Unpredictable Ninja [21.05]

Kaguya: [To Naruto and Sasuke] I truly detest you both. Hagoromo, Hamura, my two children... YOU ARE NOW MINE.

Sakura: [when Naruto uses the Sexy Reverse Harem Jutsu] That idiot! Using a jutsu like that in this situation?! That might work on me, but there's no way that jutsu would work on such a god-like person! [Naruto punches Kaguya] IT WORKED?! [faints]

Naruto: You may be the progenitor of chakra or whatever, but I'll bet you've never seen a Jutsu like this!

You Better... [21.14]

Obito: A lot more suffering likely awaits you Naruto. However, just keep forging ahead like always without changing. You once told me that never going back on your word is your ninja way right?

Naruto: Yeah.

Obito: [Last words] Naruto, you better... become Hokage!

Congratulations [21.16]

Naruto and Sasuke: Six Paths Planetary Devastation!

Kaguya: [Last words] To think that I, the originator of all chakra, would be defeated by pieces of my own chakra again! Why?!

Black Zetsu: [last words] You! You're just a piece of the Shinobi history I created and nothing more! A useless brat like you could never-!

Naruto: Shinobi history is made up of all sorts of Ninja's lives, and deaths too. Many of them taught me what it means to be a shinobi. The pain and sadness of death, the tragedy of war, and not only that, they taught me the joy of being accepted and being loved. The way they lived and the way they died, they made me who I am today. They taught me and they trusted in me. You're a brat who can't even fly from the nest! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET OVER YOURSELF! [permanently seals Black Zetsu]

Kakashi: It's still growing even bigger. It's starting to look like our moon.

Naruto: You guys!

Kakashi: So it's done?

Naruto: Sealing complete! And now it's happily ever after! The end!

Sakura: You're right, great news! The first thing that I want to do is take a hot bath to wash off this sweat and grime. Aah! Wait a second! What about us?! How are we supposed to get out of this time-space?!

Naruto: Hey Kurama! Were you lonely being separated from me like that? I sure did miss you!

Kurama: Quit yelling so loudly! I wasn't lonely! You have half of me inside you, remember?!

Hagoromo: Just look at Kurama, all embarrassed and flustered. Although this too is exactly what I had once envisioned. That there would one day be a Shinobi who could move even the Tailed Beasts to cooperate.

Kakashi: Naruto caused Obito's change of heart. He restored Obito back to himself.

Hagoromo: Yes, I see. Then I shall be sure to ask Obito to tell me that tale in the afterworld. Wait, is he still?

Obito: I ought to go soon.

Kakashi: Yeah.

Obito: Kakashi, I really made a mess of the shinobi world. So much so that I don't even know what to say to you in parting.

Madara: [last words, to Hashirama] As war buddies huh? Well then I suppose that would be okay... Bye.

Naruto: Dad, I...

Minato: Oh that's right. There is something I have been meaning to tell you. Happy birthday, Naruto. You've really become a splendid young man, you know that?

Naruto: Yeah. Thank you.

Minato: We're in existence outside of the rules. So we can't just remain in this world forever. This is goodbye. I promise you that I'll tell Kushina everything.

Naruto: Tell her not to worry! I'm eating properly. Lots of different stuff, I'm not picky. Like I'll have tonkotsu ramen, miso ramen, and sometimes I'll even have shoyu ramen too. Oh but I don't only eat ramen though I swear. I bathe almost every day, even going to the Leaf Hot Springs once in a while, although everyone tells me my baths are only lightning quick dips. What else, what else... I've managed to make a whole lot of friends and they're all really good guys. And well I was pretty awful at school to tell you the truth, but I never got depressed about it. I had more confidence than anyone else. And of course I always obeyed Lord Third and Kakashi Sensei too. I mean I totally respect them both. They're right here, so you can just ask them yourself. Oh and those Three Prohibitions of Shinobi? I learned a whole lot about them when I was with Pervy Sage! He was hopeless when it came to them though, but he was an awesome Sannin and I respect him the most, I do. I just turned 17 today so I don't know much about alcohol or girls yet. I know that Mom said I should find someone just like her but I don't know. That's kind of uh... Anyway not everything that Mom told me about went well, but I always tried to do the very best that I could, you know! I've got dreams too! I'm gonna be an even greater Hokage than you, Dad! I swear I will! Tell Mom when you see her over there that she doesn't have to worry about me even a bit! Tell her I'm doing my best! [cries]

Minato: Don't you worry. I'll make sure that I tell her about everything.

The Final Valley [21.17]

Hagoromo: All right Naruto and Sasuke, about what I asked you two before. Having battled my mother Kaguya, is there any change to the answers you gave me?

Naruto: My answer's the same. And I'm sorry super gramps, but after fighting Kaguya, there's just one thing I feel strongly about. I'm just really happy that my mom was Kushina Uzumaki, you know.

Sasuke: I suppose so. But before that, I'm executing the current five Kage inside the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Kakashi: What did you just say, Sasuke?! What about the five Kage?

Sasuke: And you Tailed Beasts, I'm putting all of you under my control and eventually I'll get rid of you as well.

Kurama: What did you just say?!

[Sasuke uses his Rinnegan on them]

Naruto: Kurama!

Hagoromo: He put the Tailed Beasts under a genjutsu, and with just a single glance too. Naruto, it's ended up as I feared. I've no choice but to trust you to handle this. I can't stay in this world any longer. I shall soon fade away.

Naruto: Yeah, and I'll apologize for this too, Six Paths super gramps, but it ain't gonna go like it did with your kids. Because I'm not Ashura. And Sasuke isn't Indra either.

Kakashi: Sasuke! Is this what your current dream is? Are you saying that you're still seeking vengeance?

Sakura: Sasuke why?

Sasuke: I admit, at one time all that I wanted was to seek vengeance and destruction, but now things are different. I want to destroy but then I want to rebuild. A village without darkness. I'll reform the shinobi world. Do you understand? What I'm talking about is revolution.

Sakura: I know in my heart that there's nothing I can do even though I love you! Even though I care so much about you Sasuke. I can't get close to you or exchange blows with you. I can only whine, cry, and beg yet again! It's so pitiful isn't it? [flashes back to when Sasuke left the village] But please Sasuke! If there's even a little corner of your heart that still thinks about me, don't leave again, please! If we just stick together, I know that it can be old times again someday.

Sasuke: You really are still incredibly annoying. [Sasuke puts his Genjutsu on Sakura]

Naruto: [To Sasuke at the Final Valley] Should've figured. Brings back memories, right Sasuke? This place is where we battled each other. Seems so long ago.

Sasuke: It'll be the same now, just like the last time. You're going to lose here.

Naruto: But you aren't gonna be able to hit me with the same punch as last time. There's no way I'm gonna let you get away with whatever you want. And trust me Sasuke, you're not gonna be Hokage either. You don't even seem to understand what it means to be Hokage.

Naruto and Sasuke [21.19]

Naruto: I actually do want to fight against you. And I want to win fair and square. Although not against the current you! But you already know that, don't you, Sasuke?!

Sasuke: This fight with you right now will be my last. Indra's Arrow. Currently the most powerful Jutsu in my arsenal. Just die! Just begone already!

[Sakura wakes up from Sasuke's Genjutsu]

Kakashi: You're finally awake.

Sakura: It's dusk already. Where are Naruto and Sasuke?

Kakashi: They're fighting for their final battle right now in order to settle things for good.

[Sasuke is finishing off Naruto]

Kurama: Hang in there. It's not much but I've got some chakra. Huh?

Sasuke: This is just one of the many abilities of the Rinnegan. As somebody who possesses the eye of the Uchiha, my victory is inevitable. Now I can finally be alone. Farewell, my one and only friend!

[Naruto counters Sasuke's attack]

Kurama: That was a nice counter. You noticed that his visual prowess had weakened.

Sasuke: [enraged] Over and over and over and over... and over and over and over and OVER AGAIN! JUST GIVE UP AND LET ME CUT YOU DOWN ALREADY!

Naruto: Sorry, can't do that. Because I am your one and only friend.

The Unison Sign [21.20]

[Naruto and Sasuke visualize multiple flashbacks in front of them]

Sasuke: Am I dead?

Naruto: Everything feels strange, so... Yeah, that must be what happened. Well probably.

Sasuke: Pitiful huh? You had the Tailed Beast, and I was an Uchiha. We were ostracized by the villagers and treated like outcasts. We both resented the village and everyone living in it. Right? You can't say that I'm wrong. You said I was like your brother, and in that sense, maybe we were brothers.

Naruto: No, you're completely wrong! Damn it! You don't get it, do you?! Sorry, Granny Tsunade. I know that I promised I wouldn't die until I became Hokage. OH NO! THE INFINITE TSUKUYOMI! This is bad! We can't release the jutsu if we're dead!

Sasuke: You're dead, and you're worried about what happens to the rest of the world?

Naruto: You've finally come to, huh? As you can see, if either of us moves too much, we'll bleed out and die.

Sasuke: Why would you go that far? Why do all that, just to get in my way? I gained the power needed to enter into the darkness, and sever all ties. Naturally, everyone tried to cut ties with me, too. Except you. You've never attempted to cut me off. [flashes back to Naruto's words] Why do you keep on involving yourself with me?

Naruto: You know that already. I mean, come on, don't you? Your body cannot move but your mouth sure can.

Sasuke: Just answer me!

Naruto: Because you're my friend. [flashes back to a similar conversation]

Sasuke: You've told me that before. But what exactly does that mean to you?

Naruto: You asked me to explain it, but honestly, it's not like I really understand it either. It's just when I see you take on stuff and get all messed up, it kinda, well, hurts me. It hurts so much inside that I cannot just leave it alone, you know? Although right now, I'm in a ton of pain everywhere, inside and out.

Sasuke: Naruto, I always knew you were alone back then. The village shunned you just like they did with me, the lone Uchiha survivor. You intentionally did stupid things to get scolded and to get people's attention. In the beginning I thought of you as a good for nothing loser, a weakling who just wanted to goof around. But the more I watched you being idiotic and getting yelled at over and over, it started weighing on my mind. Back then that's when I wondered if your weakness was beginning to rub off on me. Afterwards every time I'd see you, I think more and more about you, seeing you desperately trying to bond with others. You made me remember my own family. But I don't know why. But I felt relieved. Yet at the same time I considered it a weakness. I trained hard, as if to escape that weakness, in order to get stronger than my brother, in order to get my revenge, yet I ended up on the same team as you. I began thinking about my family again. Completing missions with you, while you jabbered on and on about becoming Hokage. I saw both of us getting stronger, and I started wanting to battle with you too someday. And I began to see a shadow of my own family in Squad 7. That's why every time I saw your suffering... Yeah that's right... I too felt pain. When I understood you're hurt, I finally saw you as a comrade, and conversely I couldn't leave you alone. You are getting stronger and stronger. I'm watching you keep getting stronger, I...

Naruto: Back then, I... I always knew that you were alone, too. All I really wanted to do was to come up to you and start talking. I'd get sorta giddy, but I never did. Because I was jealous, you were so good. At everything. So I decided I'd make you my rival. And from that day on, you've been my goal. At the beginning, I had nothing but I built bonds. I wanted to be strong like you, cool like you, I guess that's why I kept chasing after you.

Sasuke: It was the opposite. I was the one who was jealous of you. You had a strength that I didn't have. You were always walking in front of me. Just like my late brother. And even today, too. [flashes back to Itachi's conversation with Naruto] These are Naruto's memories? [has multiple flashbacks of Naruto wanting to be Hokage] Naruto. Everything you've gone through up til this moment. [flashes back to what Itachi said about being Hokage] Brother... I see. Well then, Show me.

[they wake up]

Naruto: Where are we? Hold on. Don't tell me it's really Heaven this time?

Sasuke: Seems we fell asleep and slept the whole night through. We failed to die yet again.

Naruto: Damn it, I still can't move my body. I was hoping to hit you again so I could make you finally open your eyes again for real. [Sasuke starts laughing] What's so funny?

Sasuke: We're all messed up and you still want to fight?

Naruto: Damn right! Whatever it takes!

Sasuke: I admit it, that I've... I've lost.

Naruto: IDIOT! DON'T YOU GET IT?! THIS FIGHT ISN'T ABOUT WINNING OR LOSING AT ALL! IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT PUNCHING A SULKING FRIEND TO MAKE HIM SNAP OUT OF IT, AND THE REAL MATCH THAT I WANT COMES AFTER DOING THAT!

Naruto: No way. Your dying isn't going to settle things. If you're willing to die, then live and help me instead! What I want to do is get all shinobi to cooperate, and that definitely includes you!

Sasuke: Just because you want that doesn't mean the others will.

Naruto: Damn it! Go ahead! Keep whining and sulking! I'll hit you again!

Sasuke: Also there's no guarantee I won't oppose you.

Naruto: Then I'll just stop you again. Besides, I know you won't do that anymore.

Sasuke: How can you be sure?

Naruto: Look, don't make me repeat myself! Come on, are you seriously not getting it yet? Come to think of it, you were always pretty dense. [realizes Sasuke is crying]

Sasuke: Just knock it off. Shut up, you loser.

[Naruto laughs. The hands of the statues and blood flowing from their wounds depict the unison sign, symbolizing Naruto and Sasuke's reconciliation]

Naruto Uzumaki!! [21.21]

Sasuke: I'm sorry.

Sakura: Sorry? For what?

Sasuke: For everything.

Sakura: [crying] You got that right, damn it. It's about time... you idiot!

Kakashi: It's finally back to the way it was.

[Everyone is freed from the Divine Tree and mourns the fallen]

Sasuke: Naruto, I've been thinking about what you once said to me. How when you're with me, you wonder if this is what it's like to have a brother. Now finally I think I know what you meant. It's just like how I came to feel my mother's, my father's, and my brother Itachi's pain and emotions. Naruto, I'll now start feeling your pain and feelings. You never cut me off. In fact, you kept trying to get closer to me. You could have justifiably charged at me with hatred, but instead you never stopped calling me your friend even though I tried to break that bond myself.

Kakashi: To be perfectly honest, under normal circumstances someone like you would be imprisoned. That your past actions were pardoned and your wish has now been granted speaks to the enormity of your help in undoing the Infinite Tsukuyomi. But also my becoming the Sixth Hokage and that Naruto, the key figure in ending the war testified on your behalf, helped. Don't forget that. Try not to cause too much trouble from here on out, otherwise I'll be held responsible.

Sasuke: Yeah. Sorry about that.

Sakura: Do you really have to go? The artificial arm Lady Tsunade made from Lord Hashirama's cells is almost done.

Sasuke: I need a little time to work out my feelings. I want to know how the Shinobi World looks to the current me. I feel like I'll be able to see things I've overlooked, things I can only perceive in my current state. Also something's been weighing on me.

Sakura: And what if I said that I wanted to come with you?

Sasuke: This is a trip to atone for my sins. And my sins have nothing to do with you.

Sakura: Nothing to do with me, huh?

Sasuke: [pokes Sakura's forehead in a similar way to his brother] Maybe next time. Thank you Sakura.

[Sasuke leaves the village, only to run into Naruto]

Sasuke: I didn't think you'd be coming to see me off. [Naruto returns his old headband] You still had that thing? You stopped me as a friend even at the cost of your hand, and I was saved thanks to you. We were insignificant things that used to clash, and now we're able to share each other's pain. And after journeying long and seeing the world, I've realized something. This isn't really about you or me. I believe this concept can be applied to even bigger things than just us. But it's not something that can be done as easily as you were able to. I never assumed it would be simple, just like it wasn't with the two of us. Especially with something so big.

Naruto: I'm giving this back.

Sasuke: Yeah all right sure. I'll hang onto it til we have our real fight. It's kind of like a prayer. To keep enduring until it comes to be, no matter what. And to those upon whom those tasks fall on, perhaps that's what it means... to be a ninja.

Sakura: No, I most certainly am not. I am merely playing the part of the Child of Heroes so I don't look out of place.

Naruto: Oh, not at all?

Sakura: Well, a little. I mean, it doesn't look like there are any big threats to deal with right now. It's not that bad once you get used to it, you know.

Naruto: So you've completely forgotten everything? Sakura, this entire place is a fake world that Madara sent us to! We're trapped here!

Sakura: Yes, of course! I know that! Look, I was just saying...

Naruto: THE POINT IS THAT I'M NOT STAYING! [mumbling] Staying in this dumb world...!

Sakura: Hey, where are you going?

Naruto: To gather more intel, of course! I'm not just gonna hang around here doing nothing!

Sakura: Wait! I'm coming too!

The Last: Naruto the Movie

Naruto: Back at the academy when we were asked who we'd want to spend our last day on Earth with, I couldn't think of one name to write down. I didn't know my parents and I didn't have any friends, but now I know exactly who I'd choose. There's no doubt whatsoever. I want to stay with you forever and ever until I die. I want to be with you Hinata.

Hinata: Oh Naruto. What are you doing?

Naruto: Ready? Hold on tight.

Hinata: Okay.

Naruto: Don't let go all right?

Hinata: All right. I'll never ever let go. [Naruto uses the Rasengan to propel them towards the top of the cave] Huh? What are you...

Hanabi: Big sister!

Shikamaru: Naruto, you're going to crash into the ceiling!

Naruto: Yeah right, I'm not stopping there! [they fly into the sky with the moon behind them] Hinata.

Hinata: Naruto.

[They kiss for the first time]

Boruto: Naruto the Movie

Unsorted

Naruto: Hmm... Let's see now... Who would be good? I've got to think about this very carefully because after all, I wouldn't wanna choose someone who would end up slowing the team down, that'd be terrible. But, on the other hand, it's gotta be someone that we really get along with, otherwise, we can kiss our teamwork goodbye. Either way, Sakura gets goofing around boys, I've gotta be sure the guy's not too good-looking. This is trickier than I thought it'd be.

Naruto: [To Tsunade] There's no need for Hidden Leaf's Hokage to deal with the likes of these guys. You just go enjoy a nice cup of tea or something.

Naruto: [to Six Paths Madara] You idiot. I'm not gonna defeat you, I'm gonna stop you!

Sasuke: Only a diversion, huh? I can't actually take him down with this. I need the Tailed Beast's chakra! I used too much chakra! I can't maintain control! At this rate, I can't use Amaterasu either!

Sakura: Naruto. You've met him, haven't you? Itachi Uchiha. The person Sasuke keeps saying he wants to kill is his older brother Itachi Uchiha right?

Sakura: The things that are most important aren't written in books. You have to learn them by experiencing them yourself.

Sakura: At this rate, Naruto is going to... [struggling] die!

Kakashi: Naruto has a mysterious power. Even without saying much he can become friends with anyone quickly.

Kakashi: Can't say I'm used to hearing you whine. This isn't like you at all. What happened to the Naruto Uzumaki I used to know?

Kakashi: [to Naruto] The bigger the jutsu, the bigger the risk it places on the user. Keep that in mind.

Kakashi: While I'd like to act cool and say, "You go on ahead", I won't be able to hold him off by myself.

Kakashi: [About Naruto and Sakura] I miss the cute students who'd react to every little thing I say.

Kakashi: [On Kankuro] Making a success from a failure. You are indeed a shinobi of the sand.

Chiyo: Youth is something that holds such possibilities.

Danzo: The princess did become Hokage after all. With Katsuyu's techniques, she'll be able to prevent total annihilation, but there will still be some causalities. Those are a necessary sacrifice for us. In order for me to become Hokage.

Deidara: [To Tobi] If I had to keep my patience with you in a bag, it'd be bursting at the seams! Say another word and I'll make you wish you were never born!

Gaara: [To Onoki] When did you all forsake yourselves?

Gaara: [To Tobi] Peace under an illusion is not true peace. It's only meaningful if the real world manages to accomplish it.

Gaara: [To Tobi] We won't give up hope.

Gaara: [To Tsunade about hiding Naruto] I know him well. He takes too many risks when it comes to his friends. That's why.

Gaara: [To Kankurō, when he asked about how Konoha will overcome Pain's destruction] He was the one who taught me to deepen my bond with my people. Thanks to him, I was able to regain my true self. That village has him, the one who cherishes a friend's bond more than anyone I know. Naruto Uzumaki... Knowing him and the friends he holds so dear, they will overcome this disaster and grow even stronger from it.

Hidan: My attacks are the slowest in Akatsuki and the least skilled, so I just can't hit anything, seriously.

Hidan: Jashin, please watch over me, this time, I am really going to do it, I am going to tear their intestines out.

Hidan: You can't just go around getting killed outta nowhere. Man, you suck!

Ino: Forget the bad past, Naruto. From now on, together, and with the others, we will be partners.

Itachi: [To Naruto] You're such a child. You talk of nothing but pipe dreams. There are times when a ninja must make painful choices.

Itachi: [To Sasuke] Did you get a little taller?

Itachi: Every human being relies on and is bounded by his knowledge and experience to live. This is what we call "reality". However, knowledge and experience are ambiguous, thus reality can become illusion. Is it not possible to think that, all human beings are living in their assumptions?

Itachi: [To Sasuke] I don't think something like perfection exists. That is why I think we are born able to absorb things and by comparing ourselves with something else, we can finally head in a good direction.

Jiraiya: Flooded with anger, I cry tears of blood! The hermit of the legendary sannin! The toad sage of the mysterious Myoboku Mountain! The great Jiraiya!

Jiraiya: [In a letter] Tsunade, a person grows up when he's able to overcome hardships. Protection is important, but there are some things that a person must learn on his own.

Jiraiya: [to younger Kakashi] You know, people should talk to others everyday even if its a small talk otherwise their hearts will grow dark and serious. Talking to others builds bonds, and makes you feel grateful that you're alive. That's the kind of creatures we humans are.

Kabuto: Not having things in proper order annoys me to no end.

Kabuto: [To Sasuke] As always, you forget to mind your mouth in front of Lord Orochimaru.

Kabuto: [To Sakura] I can't believe you'd go this far, becoming that just to save Sasuke.

Kakuzu: It was over the moment you thought you had my abilities figured out. See, unlike my partner, I actually think. Even if you analyze every aspect of the battle, things don't always go as you plan.

Karin: [To Suigetsu] What the hell are you, a kappa? Get up off your ass and stop drinking all that water!

Karin: [Thinking] Yes! I finally have Sasuke all to myself!

Kiba: [on the mission to retrieve Sasuke] You weren't with us last time, Shino! You'd better work twice as hard!

Kiba: [Talking about Naruto] You still shouldn't have just let him get away. You're already a legend for defeating Pain. Sasuke should be no problem.

Killer Bee: [Rapping about a chakra sensor] Yeah, I saw it! Not two, not triple. And that freak put it right above her ni- [Whacked by Eight-Tails]

Kisame: Sasuke, if you would please continue on by yourself. Itachi would prefer that the rest of us stay here.

Konan: [after hearing of Naruto's strength] Spare us your words of fear and warning. They are wasted on us. Pain has never yet lost a battle.

Konan: If you kill Nagato and get your revenge, that won't change anything. It'll only make you feel better.

Konan: You try to find meaning in death. But there's only pain and hatred that you don't know what to do with it.

Guy: Oh, I'm just fine! I'm a really fast healer! [laughs, then hits his head on a tree branch]

Neji: [About Guy] He recovers so fast, it's kind of annoying.

Neji: [After being picked up by Lee] Lee, what on earth are you doing? Put me down this instant!

Neji: Aim ever higher. That's the destiny of the Hyuga.

Rock Lee: Sorry I'm late! Tenten was slowing me down.

Sai: [Sees Naruto clones training, reads from his book] Naruto? When your friends are working unusually hard on the job or doing their hobbies, it's nice to casually bring them a snack or drink. [Looks at the hundreds of training clones] Working unusually hard... Seems normal to me. [Takes out an apple intended for Naruto and takes a bite]

Sai: [to Sakura] I only became part of your team recently when I replaced Sasuke, so I don't know everything that's going on. I don't really understand people either. But even I can tell that Naruto really loves you. Naruto's been shouldering that promise for a long time. I think he means to shoulder it for the rest of his life. I don't know what you said to him, but it's just like what's been done to me. It feels like a curse. Sasuke causes Naruto pain, but I think you do too.

Sai: [to Sakura] Your words may not be lies, but I can already tell that your smile is fake.

Sasori: Traps are made so that people will fall into them.

Shikamaru: Just leaving things be, living without sticking to what we believe in is just. We just don't want to live like that cuz it's a pain the ass.

Shikamaru: We already know that the Akatsuki don't follow the laws of nature, physics or logic.

Shikamaru: Where did I go? I went to talk to Naruto. He's been so down, you know? It's a pain in the ass, but I just found myself headed over there. He has something no one else does. He's going to be a very important ninja. When I'm with Naruto he makes me want to walk with him.

Shino: I'll finish this. Why? Not only am I part of the mission, but I must make up for not being there last time, as well.

Shizune: Lady Tsunade, you do realize that by sending Naruto on this mission, you're putting him at risk, right?

Temari: I don't believe in omens, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Tsunade: [Referring to Naruto and Gaara] The only one who can understand a Jinchuriki is another Jinchuriki.

Tobi: I look forward to watching you develop, Sasuke. Will you remain a snake? Or shed your serpentine scales and become a hawk?

Tobi: [to Naruto and Killer Bee] Individuality makes people blind to the truth. My words, the words of no one, are the true words that will lead this world to truth.

Obito: [to Kakashi] You've seen reality, you should be able to understand. No wish can become true in this world. That's why I'm pursuing the dream of infinite Tsukuyomi. I want to build a world where heroes don't have to make pitiful excuses in front of graves.

Obito: Rin... Rin was the only light I had. After I lost her, my view of the world changed. It became a pitch-black hell. There was no more hope in this world. I began walking again under the guise of Madara, which only reinforced what I already realized. Even with the Sharingan, I couldn't see anything. Nothing.

Yamato: I'll pass on saying "I won't let you guys get hurt!" with a smile. You're no longer an apprentice ninja who needs to be protected. You're shinobi who'll sooner or later have to pass Kakashi and sustain Konoha on your shoulders. It's one thing to be compassionate and another to be indulgent.

Yamato: Actually, just watch. You're about to see a completely new Naruto!
