Kakashi quotes from Naruto

Kakashi

[Thinking] If I'm still sane by the time I finish their training it'll be a miracle!

Kakashi

[To himself regarding Sasuke] Now I know how the Third Hokage must have felt.

Kakashi

[To Iruka] You can not open the mind of another if you do not have an open mind yourselves.

Naruto

I got him! He totally fell for it!

Sakura

I'm sorry, Sensei. I told him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen! [Inner Sakura] Perfect shot!

Sasuke

He actually fell for that cheap trick. Is he really a Jonin?

Kakashi

Hmm...how do I put this? My first impression of this group...you're a bunch of idiots!

Kakashi

I'm Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate... I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future... never really thought about it. As for my hobbies... I have lots of hobbies.

Sakura

That was useless. All he really told us was his name.

Kakashi

Okay your turn. You on the right, you first.

Naruto

I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like instant ramen in a cup, like the ramen Iruka sensei got me at the Ichiraku Ramen shop. But I hate the three minutes to wait after you pour the water in the ramen cup. My hobbies are eating different kinds of ramen and comparing them. And my future dream is to be the next Hokage! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important.

Kakashi

Well he's grown up in a very interesting way. Alright, next.

Sakura

My name is Sakura Haruno. What I like... I mean the person I like is... [looks at Sasuke] My hobby is... [looks at Sasuke] my dream for the future is... [Looks at Sasuke]

Kakashi

And what do you hate?

Sakura

Naruto! [Naruto is shocked]

Kakashi

Girls her age are more interested in boys than in ninja training. Last one.

Sasuke

My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality. I am going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone.

Naruto

Gee, I hope he doesn't mean me.

Sakura

Sasuke is so hot.

Kakashi

Just as I thought.

Kakashi

A ninja must see underneath the underneath.

Naruto

I get it!

Kakashi

I'm telling you this because you don't get it, and you think you get it, which isn't the same as actually getting it. Get it?

Kakashi

You pass!

Sakura

What do you mean? How did we pass?

Kakashi

You're the first squad that ever succeeded. The others did exactly what I said and fell into every trap. They couldn't think for themselves. "A ninja must see through deception". In the ninja world those who break the rules are scum, that's true. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum!

Zabuza

When I was your age, this hand had already crushed many opponents.

Kakashi

Zabuza, the demon.

Zabuza

So I was in your book too, huh?

Kakashi

Water style: giant vortex jutsu! [releases a giant water vortex]

Zabuza

Impossible! I was just about to create a vortex, but he created one first! He copies my jutsu before I can even do it! I can't keep up!

Kakashi

[On Haku and Zabuza, seeing through Haku's tracker ninja disguise] They look pretty chummy to me. I'd say they've been pulling scams like that for a long time.

Sakura

He's got some nerve facing us again after a trick like that!

Kakashi

And hiding behind a mask. Who does he think he's fooling?

Sakura

Speak for yourself, Sensei!

Sasuke

That's it. I'm taking him out.

Sakura

Huh?

Sasuke

Who does he think he's fooling, hiding behind that mask like some sort of clown?

Sakura

Sasuke! You're so cool!

Kakashi

[Thinking] Wait a sec, didn't I just say that? She'll never change...

Zabuza

Well well, Kakashi. It would seem our fight is at an end. Since I am no longer in Gato's employ, Tazuna's safe. We have no quarrel.

Kakashi

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Naruto

Get away from him you scum!

Kakashi

Hey stop, use your head.

Naruto

Well what about you, Zabuza? You gonna let him do that?

Zabuza

Be quiet you fool. Haku's dead. What does it matter?

Naruto

What? You mean you could just stand there and watch him get treated like a dog? You and Haku were together for years! Doesn't that mean anything?

Zabuza

You don't understand the way of shinobi. I merely used him just as Gato used me. Now it's over. His usefulness is at an end. The loss of his strength and skill, yes that means something to me. But the boy, nothing.

Naruto

If you mean that, you're an even bigger rat than I thought.

Kakashi

Okay that's enough. Calm down Naruto. He's not the enemy. Not right now.

Naruto

Shut up! As far as I'm concerned, he's enemy #1! Why you... you ungrateful... after everything he did for you! [with every sentence he flashes back to Haku] Haku lived for you! You were the most important thing in the world to him! And he meant nothing to you? Nothing at all? While he was sacrificing everything for you, you never felt anything at all for him? And if I become stronger, does that mean I'll become as coldhearted as you are? He threw his life away! And for what? For you and your dream! You never let him have a dream of his own, but he didn't care. And you just tossed him aside like he was nothing, a broken tool! Man, that's so wrong. So wrong!

Zabuza

[revealed to be crying] You talk too much. And your words, they cut deep, deeper than any blade...

If you're so eager to join your friend, go ahead, but you're not taking me! Not this time!

Zabuza

I won't be joining Haku. Where he's gone, I cannot follow.

Stay back! Stay back!

Zabuza

We wouldn't be welcome where Haku's gone to. Hell is where we're going, Gato! I can't think of a more fitting destination for a demon ninja, can you? I'm told there are many demons down there of all shapes and sizes. Oh yeah, I should fit right in. You on the other hand, Gato, well I fear. You're in for a long and very painful eternity! [kills Gato and turns to Haku's corpse] So this is goodbye at last. Not once did I ever thank you Haku. Forgive me for that. [starts dying]

Kakashi

[To Naruto] Don't turn away. When you live like a warrior, this is how it ends.

Zabuza

[last words, seeing snow falling] Is it you, Haku? Are you weeping? Thank you Kakashi. [to Haku] You were always at my side. The least I can do is to be beside you at the end. I know it cannot be, but I wish I could go to where you have gone. How I wish I could join you there, Haku.

Naruto

[crying] He told me where he came from, it was always snowing all the time.

Kakashi

Of course, his spirit was as pure as the snow. You never know, Zabuza. Maybe you will join him there. Who's to say?

Sakura

Is that really it, Kakashi sensei? Is that the ninja way? To use and be used by people like tools?

Kakashi

Shinobi are all merely tools in the hands of destiny. No point in wondering whether it's right or wrong. It just is. It's the same in the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Naruto

Well if you ask me, if that's what being a ninja is all about, something's out of whack. Is that why we go through all this training? Just to end up like them?

Sasuke

What is the reason for that?

Kakashi

Well, it's a question without an answer. And that is something we ninja have to deal with every day of our lives, like Zabuza and the kid.

I see your team didn't do too bad, Kakashi. They must have gotten real lucky. Of course with my team still around, your team is doomed to failure. After all, what matters on the next test is ability, and we've got you far outclassed. Well, I guess that part of growing up is learning to deal with heartbreak, huh, Kakashi?

Kakashi

Did you say something?

Grr... Alright Kakashi, you win this round. Boy, that drives me nuts when he acts so cool! There's no way I'm gonna let you get the best of me!

Kakashi

Did you say something?

Oh! You make me so mad, Kakashi! Why do you always have to act so cool?
