Naruto: Shippūden quotes

Gaara

[to the Allied Shinobi Forces] In the name of gain and profit for one's nation and village, Shinobi have hated and hurt each other for many years. From the first to the third ninja war and the conflicts in between. All of that hatred cried out for power, thus I was born. In the past I was hated, and power, and a Jinchuriki. I hated this world, and all its people, and thought about destroying both. That's exactly what the Akatsuki is trying to do now. But then a single shinobi from The Hidden Leaf Village stopped me. [flashes back to his times with Naruto] He cried for me. I was his enemy, yet still he cried for me! And he called me his friend even though we had battled! He saved me! We were on different sides, but we were both Jinchuriki. Between those who have experienced the same pain, there can be no hate. There are no enemies here now because each one of us bares the pain of having been hurt by the Akatsuki! The Sand, the Stone, the Leaf, the Mist, and the Cloud are no more. NOW THERE IS ONLY SHINOBI! And if you are still unable to forgive the Sand, you can come back and face me after this war is over!

Kakashi

The looks on their faces have changed.

Gaara

The friend I spoke of who saved me is the target of our enemy! If he falls into their hands, our world is finished! I want to protect my friend, and I want to protect this entire world! But I'm too young and inexperienced to do that. So I ask you, all of you, please lend me your strength for this fight!

Kankuro

[to Sasori] The true source of your power lies in your soul. You tried to erase your soul by becoming a puppet, but you didn't fully succeed. I can still feel it inside this puppet that you made, where your undying soul dwells. You may be living flesh now, but that's only a shell, nothing more than a mere puppet. You were a first rate Shinobi puppet master one time, not just some lowlife that allows someone else to manipulate him.

That day on the bridge, you were supposed to finish me off and send me to hell. When I came to I was in the same place as Haku. And I thought something was off. It seems that this is neither heaven nor hell.

Kakashi

This is the world of the living. You shouldn't be here.

Kakashi

Well it takes quite a lot for me to lose my temper too you know, but after this mess I've reached my boiling point. I'm Kakashi the Copy Ninja, I know 1000 jutsu, and now I'll use them all and live up to my name!

You're all grown up, Choza.

That's right, and guess what? I'm about to grow even bigger.

Asuma

[To Choji] Snap out of it fatso! Take me down!

Shikamaru

Snap out of it, Choji! Stay focused! We aren't some little brats who need to be protected anymore! We're the protectors now! Do you want Asuma to murder his own child? Your idea of kindness is wrong!

Ino

Yeah Shikamaru is right, Choji. Just remember the piercings and what they stand for.

Quit whining and pouting, Choji! Remember, you're the 16th head of the Akimichi clan.

Choji

[flashback] Let's see... the symbol on the far right belongs to us, the Akimichi clan right? And the other two are...

The middle one's the Nara clan's, and the leftmost one is the Yamanaka clan's, three clans that use highly unusual secret ninjutsu. We've been combining our powers for many generations now and the three clans share a special relationship. To strengthen our union and protect our clans, the Sarutobi clan bestows ear piercings upon the three of us, and every generation the members of our clan swear an oath of loyalty on those earrings, so they're not just mere decorations son.

'Eventually you'll raise your own child and pass these earrings onto them. What is it?

Choji

Do you really think I could get married one day?

Hey what kind of talk is that? You don't? So you understand why master Asuma continues to be hard on you? Listen, I was able to get married wasn't I? Be more confident!

Choji

I thought it was just an oath, part of a ritual. Now I hereby swear as the 16th leader of the clan, I will pass on this oath entrusted to me by the 15th, and I shall carry it onto the 17th leader, my child to be. [flashback ends] Thank you Ino, and I'm sorry, but I'm okay now. You can go back. In order to protect the Yamanaka and Nara clans and the Hidden Leaf Village, I, Choji Akimichi swear to transform from a lowly caterpillar to a powerful butterfly and take flight!

Choji!

Choji

It's time to change.

He grew wings without even using the pills!

Asuma

You stopped me with my own weapon. That's very impressive. I'm moved and yet I can't move. It's Shadow Possession Shuriken Jutsu. That's the reason why you can't move right now.

Alright you guys, you can leave the rest to the Sealing Corps.

Asuma

Could you please wait just a moment more?

Are you kidding me?

Shikamaru

We already heard your last words once before. Are you really gonna put us through that again?

Asuma

But there's just one more that I couldn't tell you the last time I spoke them, and it's this: that I have got nothing more to say to you. Your Ino-Shika-Cho formation is complete.

Sakura

[receives a love letter from a shinobi she saved, thinks of Sasuke] Thanks for this, but I have someone else already though, see.

Gaara

[To his father about the One-Tail] He is long gone and I am no longer the jinchūriki that you created, father!

Gaara

My mother was amazing. Thanks to her I have now received medicine from you, father.

Itachi

Self-sacrifice. A true shinobi does not set out to seek glory. They protect from the shadows. That is the mark of a true ninja. Shisui was the one who taught me that.

Itachi

You said that you consider Sasuke a brother. That's why I knew that you, Naruto, were the only one who could stop him.
