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]
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.
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!
[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]
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.
[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!
[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!
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.
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.
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.
[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.
[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.
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.
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!
