Naruto: Shippūden quotes

You're going to lecture me now? Bit late for that sensei, don't you think? You're always too late when it matters most. [flashes back to his tragic past] I'm glad my teacher was a Hokage. That made it easy to give up on becoming Hokage. [flashes back to attacking the Hidden Leaf]

Minato

If only I had realized that man was Obito, I may have been able to stop him. And then I may have been able to prevent Kushina's death. I may not have had to make Naruto into the Nine Tails jinchūriki. If only I had noticed that he was Obito. Perhaps the Shinobi world wouldn't have ended up like this either.

You were my teacher and yet you didn't realize it was me. That's just who you are fundamentally. How pathetic. You died a hero Hokage, but now exposed as a disgrace in front of your living son. That's right, a Hokage is a pitiable existence compared to what I am now.

Naruto

Wrong, you're Obito Uchiha. When I touched your chakra earlier I saw into your past. Our personal histories and our dream of being Hokage are the same, almost exactly the same. Neither of us knew your parents, and we both lost someone precious to us. Which is why you tried to scare me by saying solitude is my worst nightmare. At the start you wanted to be acknowledged and praised by others too. I bet that's why you wanted to become Hokage. I mean if you're the same as me. But look at you now! You've made all shinobi your enemy and spout nonsense that it's for the world's sake when really you're only doing it for yourself! Not one person, not even those precious to you, would ever acknowledge this current dream of yours. You used to have the same dream as me, but now you're the opposite of a Hokage! It's cuz you're just like me that-

No it's because of that. That's why I wanted to see you despair about this world. Or I suppose I wanted to feel again for myself that the path that I've chosen for myself is indeed not a mistake. When I was battling against you, you made me recall myself from my youth. That's why I wanted to test you, to see when you would fall into despair and reject your feelings and past.

Naruto

It's because we're so alike that you really annoy me! Get it?! You're just abandoning everything and running away!

No, what I'm doing is no different than a Hokage's actions. More in fact, for I can truly bring about peace.

Naruto

Are you serious right now? You really truly believe that?

[flashes back to telling Rin his dream of being Hokage] Yes I do. There's no need to voluntarily walk a rugged path whose destination isn't even clear and step over comrades' corpses. So anyone who's sensible would choose a shortcut with a fixed outcome. That's right, the goal a Hokage should seek is to create world peace.

Naruto

You don't know what you're talking about. What I want to know isn't the shortcut or the easy path, but how to navigate the rugged one!

Would you still say the same thing even if both those paths led to?

Naruto

But in the beginning, how can you tell which one is the rugged path? I mean, you never really know until someone starts walking down it. A Hokage is one who walks ahead of everyone else, enduring their own pain! So that's why a Hokage never walks over his comrades' corpses. There's no shortcut to becoming Hokage and no way out for the one who becomes Hokage, correct?

[fusing onto Obito's body] I am Madara's will incarnate. I will eliminate anyone who gets in Madara's way.

Madara

I taught you to use the darkness in people's hearts to manipulate them, didn't I Obito? If there's no darkness, you create it.

Madara

[After finishing the Infinite Tsukuyomi] It's time you woke up. It's all over.

Wrong, Madara. You are not the savior, nor is this is the end of things.

Madara

I can't move!

Sakura

What's going on?

How can you say that you, unlike Obito, are able to completely take advantage of others? Isn't it presumptuous to think that you alone are different? My dear Madara, you have also been caught inside a phantom dream, a dream that I concocted.

Madara

Inside a dream? What are you talking about, Black Zetsu? I was the one that created you in the first place. You are nothing more than my will made incarnate!

Wrong again. My will is... Kaguya's.

Madara

Hashirama, where did I go wrong?

May the infinite moonlight guide you. Use my body. Become one again!

[To Team 7 before transporting them to her personal dimension] This place, this land is my precious nursery. And that means I cannot let it be damaged any further.

[To Naruto and Sasuke] I truly detest you both. Hagoromo, Hamura, my two children... YOU ARE NOW MINE.

Sakura

[when Naruto uses the Sexy Reverse Harem Jutsu] That idiot! Using a jutsu like that in this situation?! That might work on me, but there's no way that jutsu would work on such a god-like person! [Naruto punches Kaguya] IT WORKED?! [faints]

Naruto

You may be the progenitor of chakra or whatever, but I'll bet you've never seen a Jutsu like this!

A lot more suffering likely awaits you Naruto. However, just keep forging ahead like always without changing. You once told me that never going back on your word is your ninja way right?

Naruto

Yeah.

[Last words] Naruto, you better... become Hokage!

Six Paths Planetary Devastation!

[Last words] To think that I, the originator of all chakra, would be defeated by pieces of my own chakra again! Why?!

[last words] You! You're just a piece of the Shinobi history I created and nothing more! A useless brat like you could never-!

Naruto

Shinobi history is made up of all sorts of Ninja's lives, and deaths too. Many of them taught me what it means to be a shinobi. The pain and sadness of death, the tragedy of war, and not only that, they taught me the joy of being accepted and being loved. The way they lived and the way they died, they made me who I am today. They taught me and they trusted in me. You're a brat who can't even fly from the nest! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GET OVER YOURSELF! [permanently seals Black Zetsu]

Kakashi

It's still growing even bigger. It's starting to look like our moon.

Naruto

You guys!

Kakashi

So it's done?

Naruto

Sealing complete! And now it's happily ever after! The end!

Sakura

You're right, great news! The first thing that I want to do is take a hot bath to wash off this sweat and grime. Aah! Wait a second! What about us?! How are we supposed to get out of this time-space?!

Naruto

Hey Kurama! Were you lonely being separated from me like that? I sure did miss you!

Quit yelling so loudly! I wasn't lonely! You have half of me inside you, remember?!

Just look at Kurama, all embarrassed and flustered. Although this too is exactly what I had once envisioned. That there would one day be a Shinobi who could move even the Tailed Beasts to cooperate.

Kakashi

Naruto caused Obito's change of heart. He restored Obito back to himself.

Yes, I see. Then I shall be sure to ask Obito to tell me that tale in the afterworld. Wait, is he still?

I ought to go soon.

Kakashi

Yeah.

Kakashi, I really made a mess of the shinobi world. So much so that I don't even know what to say to you in parting.

Madara

[last words, to Hashirama] As war buddies huh? Well then I suppose that would be okay... Bye.
