Naruto Shippuden Quotes

Asuma Sarutobi

 [Last words] I just want one last smoke...

 [About Shikamaru] Shikamaru can think 10 steps ahead and consider 200 possible moves in a second. But his real strength is his knack for choosing the best one.

 [To Shikamaru] The kings...are the unborn children...who will grow up to take care of Konoha. One...is still in Kurenai's womb...her and my child. Take care of my king.

That's what I want to see, Choji. That face...that's all you need to become stronger than anyone. A face brimming with confidence!

Finishing me off with my own weapon? I'm so moved, I can't move!

Chiyo

I have too many regrets to die just yet..

I'm retired now, I can do whatever I want!

Haha, I tricked you! I was only pretending to be dead.

Don't treat me like a old lady!

Youth... Is something that holds such possibilities.

Choji Akimichi

I'm not fat! I'm big boned!

I solemnly swear that as sixteenth head of the Akimichi clan, I will defend the oath taken by the fifteenth generation, and raise the seventeenth to protect it. In order to protect both the Yamanaka and Nara clans, and to protect Konoha, I, Choji Akimichi, do hereby emerge from my cocoon as a fully grown butterfly...and take flight!

[To Shikamaru while coming to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto's stupid and I'm fat...that was always the joke...but people aren't what they seem! [In thought] Wait for me, slightly-stupid Naruto! Slim Choji is coming to back you up!

Choza Akimichi

 [On Kakashi] He already worked out what his opponent's ability was and set up a substitute clone. Kakashi's habits haven't changed since the last time I teamed up with him. He's full of clever tricks, as usual.

Don't get soft on me, Choji! You're a sixteenth generation Akimichi. Act like it!

Danzo

[To Sai] Don’t use a fake smile like that in front of me.

Emotion leads one to hate… and hate leads one to conflict and war.

[Last Words, while thinking about Third Hokage] You are the leaves bathing in the sun, I... am the roots that grow in the dark.

Deidara

True art is an explosion!

If an artist doesn't get high levels of inspiration, his sentiments are dulled...

 (about Naruto) There's no mistake. He's the Jinchuriki. The one who bursts in and starts barking. Itachi actually described him quite accurately.

Art is something that blossoms for an instant before withering away. Art is beauty that last for just a moment. To me, the essence of art is... AN EXPLOSION!

Life's only beautiful because it's so fleeting, so transient.

[To Tobi] If I had to keep my patience with you in a bag, it’d be bursting at the seams! Say another word and I’ll make you wish you were never born!

 [Last words] Cower in awe! Recoil in despair! Cry your heart out! Because my art... IS AN EXPLOSION!!

Gaara

In order to escape a path of loneliness, I have no choice but to work hard and make my own path. If I do that, then someday... Someday... I can be like Naruto Uzumaki.

That's why, as a Shinobi of Sand, I'll aim to be the Kazekage.

I want to work hard so that others will accept my existence. That's what I thought when I looked at Naruto.

Up until now, my bonds with others have only been ones of pain. But, seeing him fight so hard made me wonder what a bond really is. I think I understand a little now. Suffering, sadness... and joy. To be able to share it with another person...

Naruto Uzumaki... When I fought him, I feel that is what he taught me. He experienced the same type of suffering as I. And he taught me that you can change how you live your life.

Someday, I want my existence to be necessary to others.

We are in your debt once again, Naruto.

Three times now, we've fought world wars for our own nations, our own villages. We've hurt one another, we've hated one another. That hatred bred a lust for power, and that lust for power created me. I was a Jinchūriki, the embodiment of hatred and power. And I hated this world, and all the people in it. I wanted to destroy it with my own hands, the exact same thing Akatsuki is trying to do today. But one man, one ninja from Konohagakure stopped me. I was his enemy, yet he wept for me! I hurt him, yet he called me his friend! He saved me! My enemy, my fellow Jinchūriki...he suffered the same pain as me, yet bore no ill will. There are no enemies here, because we've all suffered at Akatsuki's hand! So there is no Suna, no Iwa, no Konoha, no Kiri, and no Kumo! There are only shinobi! And if you still hold a grudge against Suna, when this war is over, come and take my head instead! Our enemies are after the friend who saved my life! If they take him, if we hand him over, our world is finished! I want to protect him! I want to protect our world, but I'm too young to protect it all on my own! All of you, lend me your aid! Everyone who's with me, let's go!

Hidan

You now, this assignment we’ve been given really doesn’t mix well with my beliefs. Carnage is the key precept of the faith of Jashin… the dogma doesn’t let me leave someone half dead.

As the other dies, their agony radiates through my body, and living through it is pure ecstasy!

How do you feel, knowing that you are fighting an immortal guy?

I know it's annoying, but it's my religion!

 (To Shikamaru) "Does your village bury their dead? 'Cause it's gonna be a pain digging him up."

(To Shikamaru before being buried alive) "I won't die you know. Someday I'm gonna get out and come after you. Teeth! That's all I'll need to bite your throat. Teeth!

Hinata Hyuga

[To Pain while protecting Naruto] I wouldn't let you lay a finger on Naruto-kun!

[Protecting Naruto from Pain] I'm here because I want to be. I've always cry and give up right away... always getting it wrong... Until you, Naruto-kun, showed me the right path to follow. I'd chased you forever... always wishing that someday I would catch up, always dreaming that we would walk side by side...Always trying to make it to where you were. You changed me! Your smile saved me from who I was! I'm not afraid to protect you, even if I die doing so! Because... I love you, Naruto-kun...

[In her mind while running to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto-kun...I've always...always been chasing after you...even...now. But...once this war ends, I'm going to stop once and for all. Next time, I'll be next to you, holding your hand...walking with you! Wait for me!!

Itachi Uchiha

The Hidden Mist Jutsu... Certainly a good choice to make using Genjutsu more difficult. But before my Sharingan, techniques like this are meaningless.

[Answering Kisame] Sasuke is not dead. And besides, the storm has passed.

Show yourself, Naruto Uzumaki...

[To Naruto] You’re already trapped in my illusion.

[To Naruto] ...You’re such a child. You talk of nothing but pipe dreams… there are times when a ninja must make painful choices.

[About Naruto to Deidara and Sasori] ...He'll be the one who bursts in and starts barking.

 [To Sasuke] Tell me, Sasuke. What does your Sharingan see?

[To Sasuke] You see me...dead? Well then... [Itachi appears behind him] Let's see how good your eyesight is.

...Every human being relies on and is bounded by his knowledge and experience to live. This is what we call "reality". However, knowledge and experience are ambiguous, thus reality can become illusion. Is it not possible to think that, all human beings are living in their assumptions?

The Mangekyou Sharingan has a very unique characteristic... From the day you awaken it, your eyes begin a slow decent into darkness. The more you use them, the quicker the process moves... Eventually, the kaleidoscope will lose its light.

Sasuke... Are you finally out of techniques? If you've got any more moves up your sleeve... I suggest you stop trying to use them... Now the real fight begins.

[To Sasuke] Your eyes belong to me now...I'll take them slowly...I want to savor this.

[Last words, to Sasuke] I'm sorry, Sasuke.. [Pokes Sasuke's forehead] There won't be a next time.

[During a flashback] As a hurdle you must overcome, I'll always be there for you. Even if you hate me...that's what being a big brother is.

[To Kisame] We are humans, not fish. We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realize what you are. That is what death is, don't you think?

I'm counting on you to take care of Sasuke. [Naruto responds] That was my plan! [Itachi, replies] I was right to trust in you after all..

[About Shisui's teachings to him] Self-sacrifice... A nameless shinobi who protects peace from within its shadow. That is a true shinobi. Shisui taught me that.

 [To Naruto] Your dream was your father's dream, wasn't it? Remember this well then. The village did not acknowledge him because he became Hokage. He became Hokage because the village acknowledged him. Don't forget your friends.

"(To Sasuke)" I don't think something like perfection exists. That is why I think we are born able to absorb things and by comparing ourselves with something else, we can finally head in a good direction.

[Last words to Sasuke after fading away] You never have to forgive me... No matter what you become...I will always love you.

Jiraiya

You don't understand a woman's heart at all...

Looks like you've trained another 'Tsunade'.

It's time to unveil my latest masterpiece novel! It's been a good three years since I released the famous novel "Make Out Paradise"! This is the greatest creation from my soul! It will make you lose track of time, forget to breathe, and even forget who you are! It's "Make Out Tactics"!

[About Naruto] I have to admit, I've come to think of him as my own grandson...

I can’t believe flat little Tsunade grew such massive boobs and became Hokage! Times sure do change… even you, beautiful as you were, are a 50 year-old bag now. It saddens me to think how your love for those you have lost to death stays inside those jugs of yours… if that’s the case, they’ll probably get even bigger.

Now my job is to help the next generation, and set a good example for them. And for that I will gladly put my life on the line, and I’ll be smiling the whole time. It’s about the only cool thing old farts like me can do.

Getting dumped always makes a man stronger. And if he hasn’t experienced it enough to be able to laugh and joke about it, or at least use it as material, he can’t fulfill his duties as a man.

Men aren’t meant to pursue happiness.

Flooded with anger, I cry tears of blood! The hermit of the legendary sennin! The toad sage of the mysterious Myoboku Mountain! The great Jiraiyaaaaaah!

You can never overestimate your opponent enough, no matter who he is. I taught you that a long time ago, Nagato…

 [Final thoughts] I guess it's finally time to put down my pen... Oops.. right... I need a title for the next book... let's see... ah, got it... "The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki". Perfect.

The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives but how he dies. It's not what they do in life, but what they did before dying that proves their worth...

The most important thing of a shinobi to have is the spirit and the guts to never give up.

Never give up thats the choice I had to make! Naruto... You're the "Destined Child"... I know it. The rest is up to you!

The student's ninja way should be the master's too. Right Naruto?

[In a flashback] I believe that someday the day will come when people truly understand one another!!

[In a flashback] Being hurt inevitably breeds feelings of hatred towards your attacker. But when we hurt others, we have to deal with their hatred for us, and out own feelings of guilt. But knowing what it feels like to be hurt is exactly why we try to be kind to others. That’s what makes us human.

[In a letter] Tsunade, a person grows up when he's able to overcome hardships. Protection is important, but there are some things that a person must learn on his own.

[reflecting on his life] A tale is only as good as its final events, the plot twist. And mistakes are an important part of the plot too! I lived my life believing my lessons are what honed me. In return... I swore to accomplish a deed so great it would obliterate all my past failures... and die a splendid shinobi!

Jugo

You're being reckless, Suigetsu.

Someone’s here… boy or girl? A guy… if it’s a guy, I’ll kill him. Jackpot! You’re dead!

Kill… I wanna kill… someone… anyone…

Kimimaro said Sasuke was like his reincarnation... and sacrificed himself to protect him. [to Sasuke] I want to see what kind of shinobi you really are.

[To Sasuke] I can't let you die. You're all I have left to remember Kimimaro.

Kabuto Yakushi

All I fell prey to was Lord Orochimaru’s magnificent way of thinking.

You should know what it's like, Naruto, the pain of not having a true identity. Are you Naruto Uzumaki, or the Nine-tails? Had you ever wondered "What am I? Who am I?" when others stared at you with cold, hate-filled eyes?

With Lord Orochimaru now integrated into this body, I plan on finding a new me. One stronger than Lord Orochimaru himself!

Not having things in proper order annoys me to no end...

I have every ability there is! No one can touch me! Your fate was already in my hands.

My name is a code... My glasses are a tool... I've been no one... from the start. From the very start... I had nothing.

A genius that had everything will never understand... I just want to become myself.

Kakashi Hatake

Hey! My bad, my bad! Actually, on my way here, I saw an old woman who needed help...

Back then, we had Sasuke with us... [Naruto and Sakura each go through a flashback of before Sasuke left Konoha, then fall to the ground in sadness.] [Kakashi sweatdrops] Sasuke's name is a taboo among these two.

My, you guys have certainly become stronger.

[Holds up the bells he used during Team 7's first practice mission] Well, I'm going to see how much you two have improved. You haven't given up on Sasuke, right?

You've matured, Naruto. But... it looks like you're as impatient as ever. I haven't even said start yet.

What insane strength. The Fifth has been teaching Sakura more than just medical ninjutsu...

Naruto has a mysterious power... even without saying much he can become friends with anyone quickly.

...Can't say I'm used to hearing you whine...this isn't like you at all. What happened to the Naruto Uzumaki I used to know?

[to Naruto] You're the only shinobi able to surpass the Yondaime Hokage. That's what I believe.

[to Kakuzu] You got matched with the wrong guy. Now it ends!

The next generation will always surpass the previous one. It’s one of the neverending cycles in life.

[to Naruto] The bigger the jutsu, the bigger the risk it places on the user. Keep that in mind.

[On leaving Naruto behind to help Shikamaru] What do you mean... I'm not of any use any more as far as he's concerned.

While I'd like to act cool and say, "You go on ahead", I won't be able to hold him off by myself.

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

[After barely dodging Naruto's 'A Thousand Years of Death'] That would have been the end for me, it more ways than one.

[On Naruto] Jutsu that were beyond the Fourth Hokage are well within his command. I guess it's time to pass the torch... he has surpassed me.

[Thinking] Can you sense it? You are always before his eyes... inspiring him. You make him strong, you do know that... don't you, Sasuke?

[About Naruto and Sakura] I miss the cute students who'd react to every little thing I say.

[On Kankuro] Making a success from a failure.. You are indeed a shinobi of the sand.

[When trapped in before Pein] You can cry later, Choji. If you can still move...tell Tsunade...about Pein's powers. You have to figure out a way to fight him. Save your surprise for later. You have to tell her about Pein. Run! Don't let Choza's sacrifice have been for nothing!

With my current chakra level, his whole body is out of the question. And if I use Kamui again, that'll be the last of my stamina and my chakra, and without a doubt...I'll die! But right now, I have to entrust the living with this info. That's the best thing I can do right now to save Konoha!

Obito...looks like this is as long as I'll be able to be your eyes. I wasn't able to protect Rin. I broke my promise to you...forgive me. Obito...Rin...Sensei...I'll..be there soon.

[To Sasuke at Kage Summit Bridge] Sasuke...there's more to you than just your clan...more than just hatred. Take another look...deep inside your heart.

[When faced with the prospect of having to kill Sasuke] No matter how far Orochimaru fell, he still loved him... Now I know how the Third Hokage felt.

I also have important things that I want to protect, as a shinobi.

Look. It takes a lot to get me worked up, but this time my boiling point is as low as it's ever been. The Copy Ninja Kakashi, the man who copied one thousand techniques, is about to go on a rampage!

Kakuzu

The only thing you can count on is money.

Even in Hell, money takes precedence.

It was over the moment you thought you had my abilities figured out. See, unlike my partner, I actually think. Even if you analyze every aspect of the battle, things don't always go as you plan.

There is just too much of a difference in battle experience between you and me. Looking at your forehead protector reminds me of the very first Konoha shinobi I fought... Shodai Hokage, that is!

Kakashi... I'm going to replace the heart you took out with yours!

[To Shikamaru] You're pretty clever, unlike this idiot of a partner...

Kankuro

Gaara will never harm the villagers. No matter what.

It doesn't matter whether you're a Chunin or not.

Elder Chiyo used that technique...

Sasori. Your strength came because of your soul, not in spite of it. You tried to erase it, to become a puppet yourself, but you couldn't change completely. I know this because you put your heart and soul into the puppets you created. That's the part of them that never decays. Now you've got your immortal body, but you've fallen, sunk to the level of the puppets you used to control. You were supposed to be a top-class ninja puppeteer, not a worthless nobody who lets someone else pull the strings!

Karin

I sense a whole lot of Chakra nearby!

[Thinking] Yes! I finally have Sasuke all to myself!

Come on! Bite me, Sasuke! Hurry!

[In thought, as Sasuke was about to kill her] I wish I could see your face again as it was Sasuke...

[Talking about Naruto] He's... like the exact opposite of Sasuke. Even his chakra... it's warm and bright.

Kiba Inuzuka

You've really grown, Naruto.

My nose has become stronger than any ninja hound's.

[on the mission to retrieve Sasuke] You weren't with us last time, Shino! You'd better work twice as hard!

You can't hide from my nose, loser!

[Talking about Naruto] You still shouldn't have just let him get away. You're already a legend for defeating Pain. Sasuke should be no problem.

[In his mind while running to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto...I marked you a long, long time ago...as my rival! Take care of Madara when I get there!

Killer bee

The sun’s killer on my eyes. Is it noon already? Fucking damn it!

[To Sasuke] I’m in a good mood. I was just able to write an awesome rhyme, thank you.

Now you’re gonna feel my hooks.

I float… like a butterfly. And sting like a bee! ‘Cause I’m the Eight-tailed Beast.

In order to break the illusion, I need a partner who can disturb my chakra and snap me out of it. My partner is the beast inside me. Illusions won’t work on a host who can control their beast.

When I transform into my true form, a beast you must meet, yeah. Cower before the power of the beast.

The only one who gets to interrupt me is me.

Kisame Hoshigaki

[Speaking to Itachi, who is standing in the rain looking at the sky] Look, I'm not sure what you're thinking, and given how ruthless you are, it's strange to say this... But from here, it looks like you're crying.

[to Gai] You really have a talent of getting on people's nerves. I suppose I'll toy with you until you remember.

I take back what I said. You have the brain of an insect, not a beast.

The ability to turn a gloomy organization cheerful, Tobi was a skilled man at that.

Sasuke, if you would please continue on by yourself... Itachi would prefer that the rest of us stay here.

I will enjoy shaving a few layers off you.

Itachi. It seems in the end...I'm not so terrible after all.

Konan

[To Jiraiya] That time, you should have listened to what Orochimaru said, but you saved us instead. Now, it's too late, as we have embraced his ideals.

[after hearing of Naruto's strength] Spare us your words of fear and warning. They are wasted on us. Pain has never yet lost a battle.

[To Jiraiya] I must kill you. That is the will of god.

If you kill Nagato and get your revenge, that won't change anything. It'll only make you feel better.

[On Naruto] Such a strange child, to have changed Nagato completely.

You try to find meaning in death.. But there's only pain and hatred that you don't know what to do with it.

[To Yahiko and Nagato] Yahiko and Nagato, I will be the support that holds both our bridges up.

[To Naruto] Nagato believed in you, so I believe in you, too.

[To Naruto] This time, I hope for you that these will be the flowers of hope that will never die.

[To Madara(Tobi)] I knew you'd come and find me eventually. I've been waiting for my chance to destroy you.

[On Naruto] He is light personified. That's why everyone he meets carries the flower called hope!

[To Tobi] One question, Madara; do you understand why we betrayed you? Because you are darkness, a world without light where flowers can only wither and die!

[To Tobi] Yahiko and Nagato's will hasn't vanished from this world! I believe in Naruto too! He will become the bridge that leads us to peace, and I will be a support holding the bridge up!

Konohamaru

I'm going to be the Seventh Hokage in the future!

I am a Genin of the Sarutobi clan, named after this village! I am Konohamaru Sarutobi, and don't you forget it!!!

Kushina Uzumaki

[Pregnant with Naruto] Naruto...It's a beautiful name.

[To Naruto] I...I was the Nine-Tailed Fox's previous Jinchuuriki.

 [To Minato before sacrificing herself] Minato...don't be so sad...I'm happy...you loved me...and...today...is Naruto's birthday. Most of all...if I were to imagine myself alive, and our future as a family of three...I can't see us being anything but happy...and if I were allowed...just one regret...I wish that I could have seen Naruto grow up...

[Words of advice to baby Naruto] Naruto...don't be a picky eater, eat alot and grow big and strong! Take your bath everyday...go to bed early and sleep well. Study hard on your Ninjutsu...I was never very good at it...maybe you will...everyone is good at some things and not so good at others...and if things don't go so well...don't get so depressed. At the academy, listen to your teachers. Make friends! It doesn't matter how many...just make sure that they're people you can really trust....and a few is enough! Regarding the Three Prohibitions of the shinobi, be careful when you loan and borrow money, make sure to save your missions pay carefully, and no drinking alcohol until your 20...too much sake is harmful for your body. As for girls...well...I'm a girl so I don't really know what to say...but sooner or later, you'll want a girlfriend and that's normal...just...don't fall for a strange one...try to find someone...like me. Oh...one more thing...watch out for Jiraiya-sensei...dattebane!

[Final words to baby Naruto] Naruto...there's going to be hard and painful times ahead...take good care of yourself...! Find a goal...a dream...and don't stop trying until it comes true![Crying] There's...there's...there's so much more I want to tell you...to teach you...I want to stay with you longer...I love you.

[To Naruto, before disappearing in the light] Naruto...thank you for letting me be you mother...and Minato for being your father...thank you...for being born to us!!

[To the Nine tails during the beast's flashback] Neither of us has any luck, do we? You keep the world at bay...but I keep you at bay.

Madara Uchiha

[to Kurama]" Nine-Tails, you are merely a momentary life, a temporary existence of coalesced energy… energy that once part of single, ultimate form! An unstable force, lacking in intelligence or sapience, you require one to give you purpose. This one of the Uchiha! The tailed beasts are but slaves to those with blessed eyes. Now obey!

[to Obito] Know this, where there is light in this world, there is also shadow. As long as they are victors, there must also be losers. The selfish desire of desiring peace causes wars and hatred is born from protecting love.

Manda

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

Might Guy

One thing's for sure... (referring to Kisame clone) I have no clue who he was...

[fighting his double] As expected of myself...

Oh, I'm just fine! I'm a really fast healer! Hahahah-- [hits his head on a tree branch]

[after Guy and Lee race back to Konoha] "My dear Lee, you did not come in second place, you came in third. I was carrying Kakashi so he came in second... you are a pretty lucky guy, Kakashi."

He was a worthy opponent, a man who lived and died like a real shinobi. Kisame Hoshigaki. I'll remember that name for the rest of my life.

Minato Namikaze

Each chapter really seems like a page out of your own life, sensei. It almost reads like an autobiography.

We want to raise our child to be a shinobi like the one in your book! That's why we've decided to name him after the main character in your book.

You're a man of true skill... An example we should all follow. I can't think of a finer shinobi than you.

The way the protagonist refused to give up, even at the end... that was really cool. He's just like you, sensei.

[Appearing in Naruto's mind after release of the 8th Tail] I prayed I'd never see your face again, demon fox. But even in these circumstances, meeting my grown-up son is something of a pleasure. We'll call it even.

[To Nine-tailed fox] Saying your going to rip me to shreds isn't going to make me come closer to you.

Trying to save the things we love breeds war. As long as love exists, there will be hatred, and ninjas will be continue being used by that hatred. As long as the ninja system exists, the hatred will create another creature like Pain.

To be a ninja is to confront hatred.

I have faith in you, Naruto.

[To Kushina about sealing Baby Naruto] Turning your back on the village and the country...is just as bad as abandoning a child. Kushina...you should understand...you saw your own country fall apart. You know the pain of growing up without a home of your own...and you know that we are a family...of Shinobi! Besides, even if I lived...I could never substitute for you. There are things Naruto needs to be told, things that I could never say myself. That's the mother's job to carry it out...even if you have the shortest amount of time to do so. I'm not doing this just for you...I'm doing this for Naruto. Dying to make his child have a better life...that's the father's job.

[Final words to baby Naruto] Naruto...my words to you as your father...[Smiling] listen to your motor-mouthed mom.

Naruto Uzumaki

This brings back memories! This place hasn't changed at all! Everyone, Naruto Uzumaki has returned!

Dattebayo!

Believe It!

[to Konohamaru about the sexy jutsu] Konohamaru, sorry, but I'm not a kid anymore. From now on, you shouldn't use that jutsu either. [Sakura starts thinking he has grown up] Such a jutsu is now mediocre, Konohamaru! Behold! The new Super Hottie Jutsu I've been developing!

Ero-sennin was merciless! He worked me so hard, the forehead protector you gave me fell apart. And all my clothes got so ratty, I had to get a new outfit.

There's no need to hide it...The Kyuubi is sealed inside of me. [Clutches heart] Gaara and I are the same... We both have monsters locked inside us. That's what those guys are after. I... HATE IT! They just see us as monsters! As means to an end! He was just like I was and he fought all on his own a lot longer than I did. He's been targeted by Akatsuki! We're the same, again! And despite that... Why does everything bad always have to happen to him?! It's always him! That's why... That's why I can't waste a second! This time, I want to save him as fast as I can!

Where are you? Where are you? Sasuke!

If so, then why...? Why didn't you kill me then?! Isn't that your way of breaking bonds?! Sasuke!

How can I become Hokage if can't even save one of my friends? What do you think, Sasuke?

[Yelling at Chiyo] If you Sand Shinobi hadn't put that monster in him, none of this would be happening! You have no idea what kind of pain he went through... The suffering and torment he experienced. You have no right to judge us... To brand us and think you're better.

 [To Orochimaru] In my presence, don’t you dare talk of Sasuke as though he belongs to you!!

Everything here is so nostalgic. Hm? [Looks at the mountain encarved with the faces of the Hokages] They added Granny Tsunade's old mug to the mountain!

Fights aren’t decided ‘til the very end, and we’re just getting started!!

Just how long does Kakashi-sensei plan on making us wait?!

You aren't going to fight while reading a book this time, Kakashi-sensei?

[To Itachi] Sasuke is like a brother to me... More of one than you ever were to him!

[Seeing Deidara sitting on dead Gaara] YOU ! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!

I meant "wind" is the only thing that can keep a "fire" from dying away and turn it into an even bigger power.

[On attacking Kakuzu with his new technique] It's true that teamwork is important...and I know that, but I want to cross this dangerous bridge myself. If I can't get to the other side, I'll stay a kid forever. [Sasuke's face appears in his mind] Please don't take that bridge away.

[Attacks Tobi] Get out of our way!

[Threatening Deidara after Gaara's death] I'll kick the crud out of you!

Way back, I used to hate Sasuke... But once I got used to being with him I realized he's really a lot of fun... to be around...he's the person that, more than anyone else accepted me and my existence. Sasuke is my friend... and he represents bonds that I waited so long to receive, so that's why...

If Orochimaru rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death! If he tears my legs off, I'll bite him to death! If he tears my head off, I'll stare him to death! If he gouges my eyes out, I'll curse him to death! No matter what, I'm getting Sasuke back!

[To Zetsu] YO, ALOE VERA! WHERE'S SASUKE!?

[To Tsunade] If Jiraiya was the Hokage instead of you, he never would have gone on this mission.

I won’t bend my words. That’s what being a ninja means to me.

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

[After seeing Sakura's immense strength] I've gotta stop acting stupid in front of Sakura. I'm gonna get killed!

If my arms get ripped off, I'll just kick him to death! If my legs get ripped off, I'll just bite him to death! If my head gets ripped off, I'll just stare him to death! If my eyes get ripped off, I'll just curse him to death! And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him from beyond the grave!

[To Pain] Peace? Justice? Screw you! You're insane! What about my master?! My Sensei!! My friends!! My home?! After everything you've done, you still act like it's for peace?

[To Nagato] I came here to talk to you, but there was something else I wanted to find out too. I wanted to see how I would feel...I didn't know how I would really feel...if I saw you right in front of me. And I can't forgive you! I want to kill you so much, I'm trembling!

[To the Raikage] I'm begging you. I don't want anyone else getting killed for revenge. All Sasuke ever thought about was revenge! It consumed him and changed him! He was driven mad by revenge! He's not the same guy I knew anymore! I don't want that to happen to anyone else! I don't want Konoha and Kumo killing each other!

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

[To Sasuke] Tell me...Do you know my thoughts...can you tell what is in my heart? You saw it, didn't you? If we fight again...we're both gonna die.

[To Kushina] It's alright mom. You don't have to apologize. Sure...I went through alot when I was a kid because I am a jinchuuriki...but I would never blame you or dad for that. It's true, I never really had any parents...since you and dad weren't around. But now I do...you and dad died for me. Now I understand, because you always loved me! I'm so happy! I'm glad I'm your kid!

[To Itachi] Itachi... Thank you for trusting me. You don't have to worry anymore... You've done more than enough for the Village already! Leave the rest to me!

[To Tobi] You can call yourself no one, you can start a war, but even in this world you think of as "nothingness", no one's falling for your dumb ass lies! You can change your mask, you can take on as many names as you want, but you're still you, and your just one guy! I've had enough. I'm gonna tear that mask right off your face!

"Things are changing, alright. I just remembered a whole bunch of difficult names at once!"

[To Nagato] I'll win us peace! I won't give up until the very end!

Neji Hyuga

[About Guy] He recovers so fast, it's kind of annoying.

That's baggy.

I never once thought of becoming a Jonin as my final goal!

Aim ever higher... That's the destiny of the Hyuga.

[To Naruto] Naruto... sometimes your eyes are even better than mine.

Kurama

(to Naruto) Naruto. Let's show them our power.

(to Naruto) Why are you hesitating? You need my power, right? Well, who do you want to kill?

[to Sasuke] With that vision of yours, and chakra more ominous than my own...You're the spitting image of Madara Uchiha from the Elder days.

[to Sasuke] I'll be gone soon. But I'll say this, even if it is my undoing. Whatever your plans are, do not destroy Naruto. If you do... you'll regret it...

(to Naruto) Destroy everything… Erase everything that hurts you… Entrust your heart to me… I will save you from your suffering.

(to Naruto) You don't have what it takes to control my power! You're nothing more than a mere fragment of my hatred!

(About Naruto reaching the other Tailed beasts) "Naruto… If you really want to do something for us… then do what you've always done… Prove it to us with your actions! That's who you are!

(To Tobi through Naruto): Sorry but… this guy doesn't suit your words. The Fourth Hokage entrusted me to Naruto… We became friends and now he's able to use my chakra!! The Fourth sealed me into Naruto… to take you down!!

Orochimaru

[To Naruto] Let's see which of you has become stronger? You... Or Sasuke?

[To Naruto in his Four-Tailed state] How are you going to fight me now, with that huge mass of chakra restricting your movements?

My, my, what an amusing conversation. You wouldn’t mind if I were to join in myself, would you?

My oh my… you sure have become quite the Jinchuuriki, Naruto...

[To Yamato] I should think Konoha would be a bit more appreciative… wouldn’t you agree, dearest guinea pig of mine?

This body’s indeed showing an adverse reaction… it really is a shame, but playtime’s over.

[To Sai] When addressing your elders, etiquette requires you show yourself properly.

They (Konoha children) all died in a storm of thrashing and spasming. Just as I was preparing to clean up the mess and record my findings, someone stumbled upon one of my other experiments, and I was forced to leave the village. That, of course, meant my labs had to be abandoned. I assumed all sixty children were dead. I had no idea one actually survived!

What’s this chakra type… I haven’t seen an elementally recomposed type like this before!

[Referring to Sasuke] People used to call me a genius, but at that age, even I was nothing compared to him.

[In a flashback] All these children orphaned by the war have nothing but pain and suffering waiting for them. It’d be much more merciful to just kill them now.

Pain/Nagato

[To Akatsuki] We're both of the same breed, after all... motives for war are of no concern. Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just "because." No matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start war. War will never cease to exist, reasons can be thought up after the fact. Human nature pursues strife.

(To Hidan after his comment about Konaha being heathens) Konoha is not godless. They place their previous generation as gods and act with the "Will of Fire" as their driving ideology. Although, you could say that such things are justification for one to fight.

Countries have scaled back the villages, and many shinobi have lost their place of being. Shinobi exist for battle... yet this peace is the "reward" they receive for putting their lives on the line for their country.

Someone has disturbed my rain's fall... And judging by their chakra, it's someone dangerous.

Too many people have died here… their pain is what helped me grow up.

[To Jiraiya] Even the most ignorant, innocent child will eventually grow up as they learn what true pain is. It affects what they say, what they think… and they become real people.

[To Jiraiya] Sensei, you’re still just a normal person… but I, living in the centre of an infinite universe of Pain, have grown from a person, into something more. I’ve grown from a person… into a GOD.

I’m going to put an end to this pathetic world and its endless wars. It will be an act of a god.

Our world is still in its infancy… but the hand of god has come to guide it down the path to maturity.

Everything is meaningless in the face of overwhelming power.

Pain... that's a name to refer to all six of us.

You can still see Yahiko within me? How funny... I suppose that only his teacher would reconize what's left of him. But make no mistake: Yahiko is dead. The man standing before you is Pain, and no one else

(referring to Jiraiya, after defeating him) If it hadn't been for our secret we would have never won... I can give you no higher praise than that, my former teacher.

(upon slaughtering several Leaf Village guards on the outskirts of town) This is nothing... Compared to the pain the world will suffer.

[To Iruka] Where is the Nine-Tailed Fox's host...? Spit it out. If you don't, I'll kill you.

[To Tsunade] You think you're the only ones who matter. You think you can put off death. But that peace ,are you foolish and thoughtless. If you kill someone, someone else will kill you... this is the hatred that binds us together. I want you to feel pain, to think about pain, to accept pain, to know pain. Those who do not know true pain can never know true peace!

...I will give the world more pain.

You Leaf Ninja aren't the only ones allowed to speak of harmony, especially after what you did to my village and what I did to yours.

Through justice, I will bring peace.

[stabbing Hinata in front of a helpless Naruto] I believe it was like this for me... watching my parents die before my eyes as you watched Leaf shinobi die before yours. It is precisely because we love that we sacrifice... and hate.

[To Naruto in his Six-Tailed Fox Cloak] My pain is greater than yours.

War brings pain and injury and death to both sides.

[To Naruto] War brings death.. And wounds and pain to both sides. There's nothing harder to accept than the deaths of those you love.. So you believe they could never die.. Especially those who haven't known war.. Like your generation.

There's nothing you can do. You couldn't even give me an answer. Your role is to be the sacrifice that allows me to bring peace to the world. That is the right answer.

[Last words to Naruto before dying] Dying like trash.. never ending hatred...pain that never heals... that is war... Naruto... this... is what you must face... The book.. and you.. It's like... someone set this all up... Or maybe... this is the hand of the real God... My role is over now... Naruto... you... can really-

"[To Naruto]" I couldn't believe in what Jiraiya believed in. Or in the man himself... but you chose a different path. In you I can see a different future... I will believe in you... Uzumaki Naruto... Gedo Rinne Tensei no Jutsu

"[To Naruto]" So...I should just wait here and wait for you to bring peace to the world?!

"[To Naruto]" There is no such thing as real peace! It's impossible as long as we live in this accursed world!

"[To Naruto]" We studied under the same master... I told you that before that we should therefore be able to understand each other. I was joking then, but... you're an odd kid... you remind me of myself when I was younger...

Konan... it's enough... I have a new choice... a choice I'd given up on

[Last words to Naruto before being sealed] Naruto… I'll be returning to where our master is, so I can see your story… If you ask me… You're the third part that concludes the series… The first part was Jiraiya… He was flawless… But… The second part was me, an almost complete failure… I couldn't even get our master to acknowledge me… Ending the series is the third part… The final work will settle it all! Become such a masterpiece that that failure will be like it was cancelled altogether… Naruto!

Rock Lee

Stronger than I was yesterday!

[Seeing Guy carrying Kakashi, piggy-back] I see! It's training!

[Seeing Guy carrying Kakashi, piggy-back, looks to Neji] Neji!

Sorry I'm late! Tenten was slowing me down.

[Seeing Sora, Naruto, Choji and Kiba fighting] A meeting where men are expressing their feelings of friendship through fist-fighting?! Why didn't anyone tell me about this?! [Joins]

[To Sai who was complaining about the rain while coming to aid Naruto during the war] Stop your complaining and speed it up! Now is the time for us to charge forward, and respond to the heroic efforts of Guy-Sensei and Naruto!

"The power of youth!"

Sakura Haruno

So, Naruto? Have I changed? Am I more... womanly?

[Talking about her training with Tsunade] Granted, I thought I was going to die, but thanks to that, I've become stronger mentally.

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

Naruto. You've met him, haven't you? Itachi Uchiha.

[to Sasori] I have a lot of questions for you.

[to Sasori] I’ll get you!! Even if you blow off my arms and legs, if you take in your poison and it paralyzes me, I’ll get you, I swear it!! No matter how much you resist, no matter what you do! I’ll beat you half to death, and make you talk about Orochimaru!!

[to Sai] If you forgive Naruto, that's fine... (punches him) However, I could care less if you forgive me!

Usually, when you paint a good picture, you give it a name.

[to Sai about his picture book] You carry that because it is the only thing left that proves you really do exist, am I not right…? You have yet to truly get rid of your emotions, despite what you say… Even for us shinobi, abandoning our emotions completely is impossible.

[to Ino about Sai] Don't let his boyish good looks fool you... I've met insects with more social grace than him.

The things that are most important aren't written in books. You have to learn them by experiencing them yourself.

[To Naruto, while hugging him] Thank you.

[To Naruto in the Land of Iron] Naruto...I said...I love you!

[Yelling at Sasuke for insulting Naruto] Do you know how much Naruto has gone through for you Sasuke?! No matter what horrible things that he has heard about you, he never stopped thinking of you as a friend!

[About Naruto and Sasuke at Kage Summit] Naruto...has finally made up his mind. My resolve...is nothing compared to his. I'm a ninja...but all I ever done is lean on Naruto and cry...[wipes away her tears] I came here because I thought I was ready...but still I hesitate. I can't do anything...I can't say anything...all I can do...is believe in them!

[In thought, to Naruto] Thank you Naruto...thank so much, for everything. Thanks to you...I still haven't given up on my dream of Team 7 laughing together again.

[In her mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war] Naruto...you saved Konoha...and now you're trying to save the entire Shinobi World. You always get left with the insurmountable tasks...but no matter what you say this time...we're going to be together. Not just me...we're all going to fight together this time!

Sai

The manual said that the first way to appeal to someone is with a smiling face. I've practiced but I'm still unable to make this facial expressions.

You're... pretty weak. The way you fight, are you a boy or a girl?

A smile is the best way to get oneself out of a tight spot, even if it is a fake one. Surprisingly enough, everyone takes it at face value. I read that in a book.

[to Naruto, who is mentally comparing Sai's appearance to Sasuke's] If you keep staring at me, I'll hit you.

I’ve drawn hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures so far… none of them have titles.

I have none of what you’d call “emotions”.

[talking to Sakura] I like everyone. Even you, ugly.

[About Sasuke] He betrayed the Leaf and ran off to serve Orochimaru... I don't want to be lumped together with a cockroach along the same lines... as Orochimaru.

[to Naruto] Oh, geez… You two are so alike… you and my brother, I mean. He was loud, impatient, unrefined, and his peni... Well, it doesn't really matter. But still... Yeah... Just like you, he took on anything he did with everything he had. Watching you somehow brings back memories of...

[to Sasuke] I'm here... to take you back to the Leaf Village. Although my original intention was to assassinate you.

[Sees Naruto clones training simultaneously] Naruto? [Begins to read] When your friends are working unusually hard on the job or doing their hobbies, it's nice to casually bring them a snack or drink. [Looks back at the hundreds of training Naruto clones] Working unusually hard.. Seems normal to me. [Takes out an apple originally intended for Naruto and takes a bite]

I wonder if this is what you'd call 'gross'.

[to Sakura] I only became part of your team recently when I replaced Sasuke, so I don't know everything that's going on. I don't really understand people either. But even I can tell that Naruto really loves you. Naruto's been shouldering that promise for a long time...I think he means to shoulder it for the rest of his life. I don't know what you said to him, but it's just like what's been done to me - it feels like a curse. Sasuke causes Naruto pain, but I think you do too.

Sakura didn't come out here to confess her love. She was supposed to tell you the collective decision made by all your former Academy classmates...Konoha is going to dispose of Sasuke itself. Your ex-classmates are preparing to ask as we speak.

Sasuke is only helping spread his darkness across the world. Letting him live will only sow the seeds of another war. He's just another criminal now. Sasuke lost all hope of coming back when his group, Akatsuki, attacked our village. Your fellow Konoha shinobi would never accept him now. Sakura's not stupid, either. She understands the position he's put us all in. That's why she came out here, to tell you herself.

(to Sakura) Please don't think you have to shoulder all the responsibility (for killing Sasuke). I'm part of Team 7 too.

It's because Sakura loves Sasuke that she doesn't want him to sink any lower. It's because she loves him that she wants to rescue him from the evil path he currently walks. Even if the only way to do it is to kill him with her own two hands, I believe she's prepared to do it because she loves him. Which also means she's willing to let you hate her forever, Naruto. I think it's her way of atoning for saddling you with the burden of that promise that you held for so many years. She's asked too much of you, so she's trying to end this all herself.

Sasori

 [Finally revealing his puppet body] Yes, it's been a while… since I’ve used myself.

I am a puppet but… an incomplete puppet with the “core” of my real body… not human… not puppet…

Women like to do useless things, don't they...

Even connected by blood ties as we are, I won't feel a thing if Grandma Chiyo here dies. My heart... is just like this body. Of all the hundreds and thousands I've killed so far, she's just another one of them. It's that simple.

The strength of a puppeteer is measured by the amount of puppets they use.

What's the point of something that disappears as soon as its born?

True beauty lies in things that last forever, never rotting or fading.

Traps are made so that people will fall into them..

Sasuke Uchiha

Revenge means everything to me. As long as I can have my revenge, I could care less what happens to me, or the whole world for that matter. For both Orochimaru and me, right now, killing Itachi would be impossible. But if I am able to accomplish my goals, through nothing more than offering Orochimaru this body of mine… than he can have my life, and my afterlife for that matter.

 [To Orochimaru] I have nothing more to learn from you.

What's your purpose? To unravel the logic of this world or whatever. You've continued to play around with people like toys for such a stupid and selfish reason. [reflects on Itachi's reason for massacring his clan to measure his power] You make me sick.

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

Orochimaru was already in a weakened state... That's all there is to the story.

You know nothing about me. [Sasuke proceeds to attack Itachi from behind with Chidori] How much hate has filled and enveloped my heart, how much stronger I've grown because of it... You know nothing.

[To Itachi] What I see with my Sharingan is very clear to me... I see you... Dead.

Disappear with the thunder…

What Itachi wanted and what I want... are two completely different things. I can't do what he wanted...I'll revive the Uchiha my own way.

We have shed the skin of the snake, we are no longer the Hebi. From now on, our team will be "Hawk". We are Taka. Taka have but one purpose...our goal...[Awakens his Mangekyo Sharingan] is to destroy Konoha!

If, as you said, the reason why Itachi couldn't kill me... was because my life was more precious than the village, then I feel similarly, that Itachi's life is more precious than Konoha. That's all.

Saying I should follow in Itachi's footsteps is nothing but pretty words. It's nonsense mean't for those who don't know hatred.

I have closed my eyes long ago...my goal exists in the Darkness.

If anyone wants to deny my way of living, I'll kill everyone they ever cared about left and right! Maybe then, they'll understand... a little of my hatred.

They're all laughing...they're all laughing it up, at the cost of Itachi's life! Cackling like fools in unison, with no idea of the price he paid! All I hear in your laugher now is scorn and ridicule! But I'll change it..I'll turn your laughter into screams of anguish!

[After Naruto tells him he understands his motives] Naruto...I told before...how can you...with no parents or siblings...possibly understand me? You never had anyone! [Glares hatefully at Naruto] So shut up you outsider!

[To Naruto] Naruto...it's too late! Nothing you say can change me now! I'm still going to kill every one in Konoha, even you! So your only choices are either to kill me and become Konoha's hero for saving the village...or die by my hand and be known by everyone as a loser!!

I'm going to the battlefield. I will not let this village...and my brother...be wasted!

Many things happened...But I decided to protect the village. And...I...will become Hokage.

Shikamaru Nara

Every jutsu has some kind of risk, or restriction on its use

Just leaving things be, living without sticking to what we believe in is just... we just don't want to live like that 'cuz it's a pain the ass.

Kagemane no Jutsu... successful!

I was always... complaining and avoiding my responsibilites. Because of my behavior, I'd mess up, and Asuma would have to cover me. He was a strange teacher who was, at times difficult to grasp. But he was the coolest adult there ever was. From here on, it's my turn.

it. So I've gotta grow up to be a cool adult too!

We already know that the Akatsuki don't follow the laws of nature, physics or logic.

Where did I go? I went to talk to Naruto. He's been so down, you know? It's a pain in the arse, but I just found myself headed over there. He has something no-one else does...he's going to be a very important ninja. When I'm with Naruto...he makes me want to walk with him.

Man the hell up, Choji! We're not kids who need adults to protect us anymore, we're the protectors! Do you want to sit and watch while Asuma kills his own child? You think that's mercy?

Shino Aburame

[After Naruto fails to recognize him] Even if it's been a while, you should at least remember the faces of your friends. The reason being that if you don't... it's painful to the person who called you out.

I'll finish this. Why? Not only am I part of the mission, but I must make up for not being there last time, as well.

[In his mind while coming to Naruto's aid during the war] I'm going to fully support Naruto with my Ninjutsu...I don't need...a reason why!

Suigetsu Hozuki

Haha... Never would've guessed a bunch of stupid animals could sense chakra... Then again, "stupid animal" describes Karin pretty well, so I guess it makes sense.

Temari

I don't believe in omens... But I have a bad feeling about this.

Tenten

I was stronger than I was yesterday!

You're in no position to continue!

Guy-Sensei! Hurry up! You're too slow!

Lee you got to do better

Neji, are you alright?

Tsunade

[Watching Team Kakashi go on their mission] Growth.. is a mysterious thing, isn't it?

[Thinking about Dan and Nawaki] There are times when death is hard to accept. But if you don't get over it, there's no future.

I will protect the village, no matter what... I swear by the name of Hokage!

And yet, truth is still stranger than fiction.

Bah, you men are all alike. Without women around, there'd be no one to reject your advances and toughen you up.

[To her advisers] Do you know what Jiraiya and Sarutobi and Chiyo of Sunagakure had that you don't?.. Faith.

Obito Uchiha/Tobi

I'm new to the bunch! Pleased to meet ya!

Found it! I found it, Mr. Zetsu! So, can I become a member of Akatsuki now? There is an opening now, after all.

They're strong, aren't they? No wonder you got beat up, Deidara-senpai.

Senpai! Senpai! Look! Look! [Points at piggy bank inside dango store as Deidara looks] That's exactly like your artwork, isn't it? Could it be that your works of art are.. A cheap rip-off?

Ichibi, Nibi, and I am Tobi!

I look forward to watching you develop, Sasuke… Will you remain a snake? Or shed your serpentine scales and become a hawk?

Whooooah! Didn't see that coming! NOT! Just as I predicted...

Soon… soon, all our goals will be achieved. And when they are, everything will be as it should.

I'll play with you children some other time.

I know everything there is to know about Itachi. Of course, he died without realizing just how much.

[to Minato] You deserve the title of 4th Hokage... managing to wound me, and wrest the fox from my control in one move. But someday it will be mine again. The fox, and this whole world, will bow to my will. Many doors are still left open to me.

[to Konan] There is no peace! There can be no hope! Nagato only believed in Naruto to try to comfort his own pitiful existence!

[to Naruto and Killer Bee] "Individuality makes people blind to the truth. My words, the words of no one… are the true words that will lead this world to truth…

[to Kakashi]] "You've seen reality, you should be able to understand… No wish can become true in this world. That's why I'm pursuing the dream of infinite Tsukuyomi. I want to build a world where heroes don't have to make pitiful excuses in front of graves.

Yamato

It's an honor to be working in Kakashi's place.

Teamwork and cooperation are the most important things in a team.

It’s not what you do for Naruto that’s important… it’s how strongly you feel about him that counts. Sakura… I can tell just by looking at you… the truth is, you-

I’ll pass on saying "I won’t let you guys get hurt!" with a smile. You’re no longer apprentice ninja who need to be protected. You’re shinobi who’ll sooner or later have to pass Kakashi and sustain Konoha on your shoulders. It’s one thing to be compassionate and another to be indulgent.

Naruto and Sakura, with you two here I had hoped not to have to resort to any of my cruder methods… but, unfortunately, it’s time I get serious.

[To Naruto and Sai] Ahh... It's nice to enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot springs, right guys? [both ignore him, so he makes his "ghoul eyes"] I said "RIGHT GUYS...?"

Actually, just watch... you're about to see a completely new Naruto!

Zetsu

 [white side] When you are sad and alone... [black side] All you can count on is yourself.

[black side] The Sharingan is just another tool that some ninja can use. A tool is only as powerful as the shinobi who uses it. An expert with a stone can still beat a novice with a shuriken. All he needs is more skill and more power.

[black side] Itachi...He is dead!? Unbelievable!
