Kisame quotes from Naruto: Shippūden

Kisame

I like Tobi. He managed to lighten the mood of this rather gloomy organization cheerful.

Kisame

That's right, I knew all about it from the very moment that I first killed a comrade. So what am I then? An enemy or an ally? What is my purpose, my status? Where am I trying to get? And where can I go to achieve inner peace? There is only one thing clear to me: that I felt I was trapped in a false existence.

Kisame

Sasuke, if you would please continue on by yourself. Itachi would prefer that the rest of us stay here.

That sword of his!

Kisame

Ah, do you remember at last?

That weapon. It's yours, right?

Neji

Whose else could it be?

But there's a big difference between knowing and being absolutely certain.

Rock Lee

Wise words, Guy sensei. So simple and yet so full of profound meaning.

Tenten

Oh give me a break. Do you get this excited about everything he says?

Rock Lee

Forget it Tenten.

Kisame

I said you had the intelligence of a subhuman beast, but a beast could run circles around your brain.

Deidara

I take commissions to make explosions using my art, hmm.

Your art?

Deidara

[holds up a clay spider] Yeah look. Such refined lines matched with a form that pursues two dimensional depth formulae. This is true art. But my art goes far beyond this as well. My pieces are versatile. While they hold shape, they're merely objects, but they can also explode. And when it does explode, it makes its essence more sublime, and it finally comes fully into its own. I feel that true art only lives in that flash of sublimation. True art is an explosion!

Disgusting.

Kisame

Is he finished?

Itachi

Who knows?

Kisame

[to Itachi who is standing in the rain] I have no idea what's going on in your head right now, not one clue. Yet from here it looks like you're crying. It's really too bad what happened to your younger brother. It looks like you're the sole surviving member of the Uchiha clan.

Itachi

No. Sasuke is not dead. Besides...

Kisame

What are you talking about?

Itachi

The rain has finally stopped.

Kisame

[flashback] Most sharks are ovoviviparous, which means that the eggs hatch inside the female's body before the young are born. However with some kinds of sharks, the number of eggs that hatch will differ from the number of young that emerge out of their mother's belly. Do you know why that is? Because of cannibalism. Right from the moment they hatch, they start eating each other inside their mother's uterus. The fratricidal warfare begins as soon as they are born. To each shark, all the others are just food to be eaten. Starting today you are an Akatsuki member and my companion. So be wary of me.

Itachi

Same goes for you.

Kisame

Well let's be friends and have some fun alright? And hope that we will not end up as each other's final opponents.

Itachi

No one who dares to raise a hand against a comrade ever dies a decent death. Remember that.

Kisame

Well that means our fates are sealed. Seems you and I are depraved and worthless.

Itachi

Not true. We are both human, not fish. No matter who you are, you do not truly what kind of man you've become until you reach the very end. One realizes one's true nature at the moment of death. Don't you think that's what death is about?

Kisame

[last words, present] Itachi, did you find it at the moment of your death? Did you discover the kind of person you truly were? Well Itachi, it seems that in the end, I was not a worthless human being after all.
