[Last words] Where the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again tree leaves shall bud anew.

It's almost unbearable, isn't it? The feeling of being all alone. I know that feeling, I've been there, in that dark and lonely place. But now there are others, other people who mean a lot to me. I care more about them than I do myself, and I won't let anyone hurt them. That's why I won't ever give up. I will stop you, even if I have to kill you.
But why? Why would you do this for anyone but yourself?
Because they saved me from myself. They rescued me from my loneliness. They were the first to accept me for who I am. They're my friends.
EEnma
[About the Third Hokage] A fitting end for one who had mastered the way of the shinobi.
[To young Tsunade] Aw just shut up you flat chested cutting board!
HHiruzen
It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Your instructors tell me you're among the most playful of their students, always full of fun. You're very brave. It's hard to hide sadness behind laughter.
[As a child] What makes you think I'm sad about anything?! It's a noble thing to die in the line of duty, right? My parents gave their lives to protect this place from the fox demon. I'm the son of heroes. How can I be sad when they died that way?! I'm not even sad because they went and left me all alone. If I cry, it's 'cause I'm proud.
HHiruzen
It's all right, Iruka. I know that somewhere inside of you, there's a boy curled up in a ball of pain. But remember this, you are not alone. Inside every ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village burns the Will of Fire.
The Will of Fire?
HHiruzen
It's what gives us the strength to defend our village. It's the unbreakable bond that ties us all together. It's what makes us a family. I wonder, do you have it yet, young as you are?
[Back to present, Kakashi is at the Memorial Stone as Yugao arrives]
Are those for Hayate? Better make it quick. The Hokage's funeral has already begun.
YYugao
And you, Kakashi? Paying respects to Obito? Instead of constantly inventing new excuses for being late, why don't you simply come here earlier?
I did, I've been here since dawn. This place makes me think about the mistakes I've made in the past... and I've made so many of them.
[Everyone takes turns paying their respects to the Third Hokage and remembering the times they shared with him]
Iruka sensei, why do they do it? Why do people risk their lives for other people?
Well, when someone passes away it's the end. His past and future, all the dreams he once had, they disappear along with him. This is true even if he dies honorably in battle as so many have, as Hayate did. All the ties that bind him to the living are severed, all but one, the most important of all: people. Parents, siblings, friends, lovers... the people who were important to him. And these people, the ones left behind, are joined together in a great circle by their shared memories of him, a circle of friendship, trust, and sacrifice that grows larger and stronger as time passes. It's hard to explain it. We remain in the circle together. We have no choice. It's important to us.
So we do it because we have to. I get it, sort of. Still I'm sad he's gone.
Think how sad it would be if he died for nothing. But he left us something priceless. Don't worry, you'll understand one of these days.
Hey give me some credit, that much I get.
The rain, it stopped.
Bye Iruka sensei, see you later.
All right. Do you see it, Lord Hokage? The will of fire is stronger than ever. The sparks you left behind have kindled the flame among the young leaves on the next generation, a mighty flame, Lord Hokage. It will burn brightly and it will shine its light up on our village and keep it warm and safe for many years to come, and someday out of that flame will come a new Hokage.
[Overlooking the Leaf Village]
Well it survived, but barely. The damage is extensive.
Not long ago it was at the height of its glory. Look at it now.
[scoffs] You sound almost sad. Don't tell me you still have feelings for your old home?
No. None.
[about Asuma] This guy is getting on my nerves. Can I kill him?
Well I guess we're not going anywhere without a fight. Just try not to overdo it. Your moves tend to stand out.
They're as good as dead.
[Kisame attacks Asuma while Kurenai vanishes]
I see, genjutsu.
He's bearing down with just the edge of his sword. His strength is unreal.
[his sword is revealed to be covered in dermal denticles] My massive blade, Sharkskin. It doesn't slice, it cuts to ribbons!
You're not the only ones, are you? There are seven more of you out there searching, hunting. I know all about you. You call yourselves the Akatsuki right?
Akatsuki?
Kisame, we'll take Kakashi, but we don't need the others. Get rid of them.
MGMight Guy
[intercepts Kisame] Severe leaf hurricane!
Well, who have we here?
MGMight Guy
The Leaf Village's fiercest beast of battle, I'm Might Guy!
You're Might Guy, huh? Mighty stupid looking Guy!
[To Kakashi] I wonder how much of this someone without the Kekkai Genkai can take?
[on Jiraiya] If we fight him, then both the Uchiha clan and the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist will have their names dragged through the mud.
True, but still, even the strongest of opponents always has a weakness.
Is there a dopey looking blonde kid staying here, about my age? He's traveling with an old man.
[Running from Itachi as a child] Please, I don't want to die! [Itachi corners him] Please, don't kill me.
You're not even worth killing. Foolish little brother, if you wish to kill me one day, Foster your hatred and despise me, surviving in such an unsightly manner as this. By all means flee. Cling to your wretched life.
Hey Itachi, it'll be a pain in the neck if this kid makes a run for it. Maybe I ought to chop off a leg just in case.
[To Itachi and Kisame] You two don't know me at all, do you? Should've done your homework. Jiraiya the Toad Sage falls victim to no woman's charm! Rare beauties drop for me like blossoms in a storm! It isn't in my nature to be duped by the wiles of women. When you've reached the stature I have, the ladies kneel and worship at your awesomeness!
The only one who's going to eliminate him is me!
Go away. You don't interest me at the moment.
You're still too weak. You don't have enough hate, and you know something? [leans in to whisper in Sasuke's ear] You never will.
