Now to finish it! Hidden Lotus!
[To Might Guy] Guy...what I said earlier, I was out of line. I was being a self-righteous fool. I realize now that if I'd been in your shoes, I probably couldn't have stopped him, either.
It is I, the Toad Mountain Sage!
[To Naruto] You ruined my peeking! I mean my research!
[To Naruto] I like them ripe and luscious with curves like that, see? And big, but not too big, know what I mean? If you bring me something like that, I will train you 'till the cows come home!
You will? No lie?
The Toad Mountain Sage never lies!
You got it! Wait here.
[seeing hot women] Too bad kid. It's not like we had a contract really. Oh ladies! Can you show me the way to town? [later] Then I said "Not with my rice bowl you don't".
That's a funny story.
It's funny yes, but it's not just a story. Every word of it is true.
What happened next?
Hey pervy sage! I'm back!
Did he call you pervy?
Worthless little runt! I told you not to call me that!
[brings a watermelon instead of a sexy woman] Look I got you one, just the way you like em! A ripe and luscious one with curves!
THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, YOU MORON!
I am not a little pervert!
Oh, yeah? Then tell me, what are you?
[Lets out a huge laugh] I'm a big one!
What do you think is faster, your sand or my sound?
[To Naruto] You really have absolute zero talent, don't you kid?
Me, I'm going to bring him a single daffodil, a noble flower that bravely endures the long months of winter then blossoms forth as a sign of spring.
[Preparing to put Naruto's life in danger] Please forgive me for what I am about to do, Fourth Hokage.
It doesn't matter what you do if you live and die as you like, however, no matter what route you end up taking, remember to protect the people that are precious to you.
[When asked why he appeared by Naruto] That's the very same question I want to ask that pervert!
If you get in my way I'll kill you.
A demon huh? My demon is as real as yours is. From my birth, my upbringing was not what most people would consider a happy one. To ensure that I became the strongest of Shinobi, my father had cast his ninjutsu on me, infusing my unborn self with the sand spirit. I destroyed the life of the woman who had given birth to me. I was born a monster. Its name is Shukaku and it's the living incarnation of an old monk of the Sand Village who'd been sealed up in a jar of tea.
Yeah some kind of demonic jutsu. But to use it on a baby before it's even born? Man that's creepy.
Could it be true? He's got one inside of him too?
[sarcastically] Gee what a swell guy your dad must've been. He really must have loved you a lot.
You speak of love? Don't measure me by your standards. Love. Family. The only emotional ties I have to my family are the ones I'd like to wrap around their necks. They're only ties of hate. Given life by the death of my mother, I was brought into being and nurtured as the salvation of the village. I was the Kazekage child. My father taught me the innermost secrets of the Shinobi. He pampered and protected me and left me to myself. For a time I thought that was love. And that was when everything started.
When what started?
What was it? Are you gonna tell us or not? So go on. What started? What was it?
In the 6 years since I became 6 years old, my father tried to destroy me more times than I can count. [they shudder]
You just finished saying how your father pampered and protected you. So which is it?
Those who get to be too strong are apt to become feared. The jutsu that gave me birth had unbalanced something in my mind. Even the fools in my village finally realized I had emotional problems. My father the Kazekage had created me as his ultimate weapon. But I eventually became a threat to the very village I was meant to save. By the time I was 6, I became a figure of terror to the villagers. To them I was a relic of the past that they wished would disappear. So you see, I had failed at the one purpose for which I was given life. What then was left for me in this existence? Why go on living? For a long time I couldn't find an answer to that. But in order to live you need a purpose. To exist for no reason is the same as being dead.
What is this guy talking about?
I know just what he means exactly. He's... he's the same as me.
Then in time the answer came to me. To put it simply my reason for living is in the killing of others. For years I lived in fear of those who were sent to murder me, but now I am at peace. I killed many would be assassins. And it was while I was doing it that the truth was made clear to me. I live solely for myself. I love only myself. As it was the death of my mother that first gave me life, now it is the death of others that sustains me. That makes me happy to be alive. And there's no end to it as long as there are still people to kill in this great wide crowded world.
Remember that time when you cheered for me? I felt like...like I was able to become stronger than ever. When the preliminaries ended I was finally able to start liking myself a little. To anybody else it might look like absolutely nothing's changed about me, but I feel different, like I'm a better person now. And I've been thinking that it was all thanks to you Naruto.
Hinata. You really... do you really believe that's true? I may look strong to you, but all I ever do is mess things up. I act tough because I'm so frustrated. But underneath it all I just feel like I'm a huge failure.
No that's not true! Even when you messed up you were always a... um... How can I say this... a proud failure from my point of view. When I look at you, you fill me with such... such admiration. I'm not saying that you're perfect, I mean no one is. But when you do make a mistake you have the guts to pick yourself up and keep trying. I think that courage to keep going no matter is what true strength is. I just think you're an incredibly strong person, Naruto.
Thanks Hinata, I needed that. Even though I'm completely used to being the underdog, I get this time I was just really feeling the strain. I was really down, which isn't like me at all. I feel 100% better now.
I'm glad you do.
All right I'm off to the match. Thanks again. Hinata. I always thought you were, um...
[thinking] What? What?
Gloomy, timid, always terrified, and basically completely weird. [Hinata slumps her shoulders in disappointment] But you know what? I actually like people like you... ["people like you" echoes in Hinata's mind]
