Pain quotes from Naruto: Shippūden

Pain

The villages have downsized to save money, and many shinobi have lost their jobs. Shinobi exist to fight. They risk their lives for the sake of this land, yet this is how they're rewarded.

Pain

Someone has circumvented my rain. From the feel of this chakra, he's very powerful.

Pain

Pain is actually a designation to refer to the six of us as a group.

Pain

You see Yahiko's image when you look at me? You really are his former teacher. But Yahiko's been dead for quite some time. All that remains is Pain.

Pain

[stabbing Hinata in front of Naruto] It was just like this when my parents were killed right before my eyes by Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf. Because of the existence of love, sacrifice is born as well as hate, and one comprehends, one knows pain.

Pain

[To Naruto] My pain is still far greater than yours!

Pain

This world shall know pain.

Itachi, this Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, what is he like?

Pain

Go on, tell him.

Itachi

He's the one who bursts in and barks first.

What do you mean?

Deidara

Doesn't he have any identifying characteristics, other than barking hmm?

Hidan

I only need a little more time sir. We're just about to get to the good part here!

Pain

We're sealing the Two Tails. Return at once. This is top priority.

Hidan

Please sir, just a few more minutes. Is that really too much to ask?

Kakuzu

Enough Hidan.

Are they communicating with somebody?

Kakuzu

We'll be back in no time so prepare yourselves.

Pain

What troublesome fellows they are.

Kakuzu

Let's go Hidan.

Hidan

That blasted leader of ours. One of these days I'll put a curse on him.

Hidan

I was just about to prove to those heathens the might of the way of Jashin!

Pain

The Leaf aren't heathens. They venerate their ancestors and follow the Will of Fire. In fact, one could say their motives for fighting are just as justified as yours.

Hidan

How dare you! Are you trying to insult me?

Pain

No. I do not intend to ridicule the reasons why you do battle. After all you and I are birds of a feather. It doesn't matter what you do to justify war. Religion, philosophy, resources, land, revenge, love, even on a whim. No matter how trivial the motive, they're all worthy causes for war. There will always be war. The reason can be found later. Human instinct seeks conflict.

His Sharingan is at full power. His eyes will surpass even Itachi's. Then the time has come. I'm sure his mind is made up, since he doesn't have much longer.

Pain

And what about the Nine-Tails?

You will hunt it. And as leader, I will not tolerate failure.

Konan

Way back then you should have done what Orochimaru suggested. Isn't that what you're thinking now? [flashes back to his words] Back then you saved the three of us from that fate instead. But it's too late now. We wholeheartedly embraced his ideology and we have now made our move.

Jiraiya

I have no regrets about letting the three of you live, no matter how this may end. I'm just very sad. The reason I taught you all ninjutsu was to enable you to survive those harsh times. You were all undoubtedly my students and I know the world is a cruel place, but to attack me without even so much as a greeting, well that's just too sad. For a few years after our time together I heard your names mentioned here and there. You made a reputation for yourselves, fighting for hire in a few conflicts, but then...

Konan

You know nothing about what happened to us afterward, sensei.

Jiraiya

No I don't, that's quite apparent. But why all this stuff with the Akatsuki? What the Akatsuki is doing now is simply wrong!

Pain

[arriving] This is what I thought through on my own. And that is that... Jiraiya-sensei.

Jiraiya

Well your appearance has changed quite a bit, but those eyes... [flashes back to the Rinnegan's awakening] So I guess you're the one who became Pain... Nagato. It appears you've strayed from the path of goodness. What HAPPENED to you?

You don't need to know. After all you're just an outsider.

Pain

Nothing happened. Nothing except for the war. Too many people died in this land. All that pain forced me to grow up.

Jiraiya

What does that mean?

Pain

That even ignorant, foolish children will grow up in the face of pain until their thoughts and beliefs are the same as adults.

Jiraiya

But abandoning one's love for his friends and fellow man? Is that really what it means to become an adult?

Pain

Oh sensei, you're still merely a man. However I, mired in endless Pain, have matured and become much more than a man.

Jiraiya

What are you saying?

Pain

Yes, I've grown from a man... to a god. And since I'm a god, all my words and thoughts have become absolute. Poor sensei, you're still human. It's not your fault if you don't understand what I'm saying.

Jiraiya

Have you really become that twisted?

Pain

Things that I couldn't see when I was human are clear to me now that I'm a god. And being a god, I realize there are things I can do which mortal men can never dream of. Or to put it more simply I have evolved beyond that.

Jiraiya

Just what are you planning to do?

Pain

At last I'm going to put an end to this senseless war riddled world. This will be my sacred deed.

Jiraiya

Naruto, you are the child of prophecy. I'm sure of it now. I leave the rest to you!

Pain

[drowns Jiraiya] That frog, the frog got away.

Jiraiya

[last words] The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant. Well now it'll end a bit better I hope. The final chapter, I'll call it: frog at the bottom of the well drifts off into the great ocean. Just barely glorious, but glorious indeed. Now, I suppose it's about time I put down my pen. Oh that's right. What should I name the sequel? I wonder... Let's see... The Tale of Naruto Uzumaki. Yes, that has a nice ring to it.

Pain

Let us make sure to extol our former teacher. By the way you can come out now.

That fight sure took you a while.

His opponent was Jiraiya after all.
