Naruto quotes from Naruto: Shippūden

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!

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.

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.

Naruto

Ichiraku's is the best.

I'm glad to hear you say that again.

Naruto

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Deidara

Sasori my man, I think you're correct.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Sakura

What did you just say?!

Yamato

Whoa easy Sakura! Follow your own advice.

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.

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.

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.

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?
