[Last words to Naruto] War inflicts death, injury, and pain to everyone. The truth is, the more precious someone is to us, the harder it is to accept that they might die. Sometimes you actually convince yourself there's no way they could never die. This naivete can't be helped, especially with a generation like yours, a generation that does not know war. You may try to find meaning in war, but all there is is loss and unbearable pain. All that senseless death, it unleashes a cycle of violence and hatred that never ends. War creates only more war. And those are the things you will face in the coming days, Naruto. The parallels between you and that book, it almost feels like someone set it all up, like it was all the work of an actual God. Seems this is it for me. Naruto, I believe you of all people... can.
[After Pain dies, Konan wraps the bodies of Yahiko and Nagato]
Him as well? You're taking him too?
Yes, this Tendo Pain was created from the body of our dear friend Yahiko. It's something that's very precious to us both.
Yahiko. Guess I understand then. What are you going to do now? I'd hate to think that you're going back to the Akatsuki.
No I'm leaving the Akatsuki. Yahiko and Nagato meant everything to me. Yahiko's dream, and then Nagato's dream. Both of their dreams had been entrusted to you. You now embody those dreams. Nagato chose to put his faith in you, so now I will do the same. And we of the Hidden Rain Village will continue to pursue our dreams together with you.
[remembers Jiraiya and Pain] The name Naruto, the guts to never give up, and now more Pain. They're the things I've inherited from my master and from my sibling student!
[gives him a paper bouquet] This time I wish that you will be the blossom of hope that will never wilt away.
