The pain of not knowing who I am, of not having an identity, you understand it well, don't you Naruto?
I don't want to understand anything that you'd say.
Are you sure? Who are you really? Are you Naruto Uzumaki, or the Nine-tailed Fox? I know you were shunned and despised in the past. You must have questioned your identity and who you were meant to be. But you had faith in your strength and told yourself you were Naruto Uzumaki. You forged your own identity. In doing so you overcame the cold stares meant for the Nine Tails.
HinataWhat is he doing? What does he want with Naruto?
I can't figure it out either.
That's why you're confident. That's why you have no doubts at all about your identity and why you found friends who accept you so readily. But my story's different. Instead of reaching beyond Lord Orochimaru I stubbornly kept clinging tightly to his power. Now I have a much better idea of how you must have felt Naruto. You made me see. And so I decided that I would try to be like you. That's why my path's clear to me. I'm going to use what I was able to absorb from Lord Orochimaru to become a better stronger Kabuto Yakushi.
Hinata
I won't let you hurt Naruto anymore!
Why did you come out here? Just run, you can't win!
Hinata
No. I'm just being selfish now.
What's that mean? Hinata, don't put yourself in danger like this. Just go.
Hinata
I'm here because I want to be. This time I'm going to save you, Naruto. I used to be such a crybaby, always giving up before I even had a chance to start. I almost took the wrong path so many times I lost count. But you helped me find my way and take the correct path, Naruto. I always chased after you, wanting to catch up, wanting to walk together with you forever. You changed who I am, Naruto. Your smiling face saved me, Naruto. That's why I'm not afraid to die here if it means I can protect you, because... I love you. I always will.
[All of Naruto's friends are running to aid him]
Hinata
Naruto. I've run after you my whole life. And even now here I am, still running after you. But when this war is over, I am going to run anymore. I'll stand with you. I'll hold your hand. And I'll walk with you by your side. So please Naruto, wait for me!
Naruto, it seems like ages ago I set my eye on you as my rival. You just hang tight against Madara til I get there!
I'll support you fully with my Ninjutsu, Naruto. And the reason is not necessary!
Naruto is doing well out there. Yeah he's reckless but despite the way he acts, sometimes he's actually pretty sharp and he can also be surprisingly resourceful.
People think that Naruto's dumb and I'm fat, but it turns out that really isn't the case at all. I guess appearances truly can be deceiving. You just wait, skinny Choji is coming to help out smart Naruto!
Although he isn't really a calm and collected strategist, but I am. And I'm coming to help you Naruto. Just hold on!
Dad, thank you! You relayed Naruto's mighty heart to everyone in the Allied Forces. And now we must bring true your prediction.
I hope that Guy-Sensei is all right and that he's protecting Naruto. Kakashi-Sensei is with him so they must be okay, but...
If it just wasn't raining, we could ride my Super Beast Scrolls drawings.
Stop complaining Sai, and pick up your speed. This is the time for each one of us to follow Guy-Sensei and Naruto's examples and exceed ourselves!
Yes, this is camaraderie. I have a really good grasp of it now thanks to you, Naruto.
Naruto, you saved the Hidden Leaf Village, and now you're trying to save the entire Shinobi World. We've always let you put the burden on your shoulders and trusted you to do the impossible, but this time no matter what you say, you'll have help. Not just from me, everyone will stand with you and fight together!
Long ago those words of yours freed me from the shackles of fate.
Why would you go so far for me? Even give up your life? Why?
[last words] Because you called me a genius... [thinking] Father, I finally understand the freedom you felt, choosing to die to protect your comrades.
Didn't you say you wouldn't let any of your comrades die? Naruto! You said "I'll never let my comrades die". Those were your words. Now look around you and try to say it again! I said try to say those words again! As the bodies of your comrades grow cold in your arms, take in their deaths!
HHiashi
Hizashi, forgive me. Neji is...
This will just keep happening and all your flippant words and ideals will become lies. This is the end result of ideals and hopes. This is reality. Naruto, what is there for you in this reality? Your mother and father are gone. Your master Jiraiya too. And if you keep standing against us, you'll lose all your friends one by one. This shall become a world where no one that acknowledges you will exist.
The only thing that awaits you is your worst nightmare, which you know very well. Solitude!
You have become almost exactly like the old me, Obito. Naruto will fall shortly, which will break the will of the Allied Forces.
So why keep living in this reality huh? Now come join us, Naruto!
Hinata
[slaps Naruto to snap him out of it] Neji just said that in your hands you hold more than one life. Do you understand what he meant? Do you? "I'll never let my comrades die". Those words and the conviction behind them are not lies! For he stored them in his heart and lived them out til the end. Neji really did. It isn't just you, it's all of us. We all hold those words and feelings in our hearts. They're what bind our lives together and make us comrades. If we were all to give up and just discard those words and feelings, Neji's act will have been for nothing. And that is when your comrades truly die, for you are no longer comrades then. That's how I feel. So please stand up together with me Naruto, because never going back on one's word... That is also my ninja way!
