Third Hokage quotes from Naruto

I hope you're not bothering me with some trivia and don't tell me it's Naruto again.

[To Iruka in regards to Naruto and the Village] How it must feel... so much hatred and hostility... to be treated with an animosity so intense as to be annihilating... to have around you many who would deny you even the right to exist...

When the people reject someone's every existence and then look at that person, their eyes become cold, cold as an ice storm in the deepest winter.

It doesn't matter what you do if you live and die as you like, however, no matter what route you end up taking, remember to protect the people that are precious to you.

[To Orochimaru while dying] My one regret is that I couldn't take you with me. Farewell disciple, may we meet again in the next world.

[Last words] Where the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again tree leaves shall bud anew.

The secret of its jab is in the speed with which it is delivered and the ninja's ability to focus his chakra at the point of impact. Once these two elements, speed and focus have attained a certain level, the chakra actually becomes visible and gives off the distinctive sound that you hear, like birds chirping. It is this sound that gives the technique its name: Chidori, 1000 birds!

Kankuro

That's impossible. No one can penetrate his defenses.

Temari

No way.

I don't believe it.

Excellent.

That technique, it's Kakashi's.

Also known as lightning blade.

Sakura

But why's that?

It got its name because Kakashi once used it to cut a bolt of lightning in half before it could touch the ground.

Sakura

Wow, cutting lightning in half.

Ino

Yeah right. These old guys and their war stories.

But whether called thousand birds or lightning blade, it's a weapon of unimaginable power, requiring almost inhuman levels of speed and chakra. But once perfected, it transforms a ninja's arm into an indestructible and invincible sword. A dangerous technique, not to be taught lightly.

Kakashi

Yeah you're one to talk. [Turns to Rock Lee] Right, Lee?

Orochimaru

The immortality jutsu. A technique for eternally recycling one's spirit on Earth. In a way, it's a kind of revival jutsu. You find a body, a young body, pour your spirit into it, and make it your own. I was using my old familiar form until now because I wanted our reunion to be a nice nostalgic one, sensei. Growing old is a sad empty thing. I only have to look at you to be reminded of that. You will die here old man, while I move on to another stronger body. But first I really must thank you and all the Leaf Village for preparing my next body so well.

Now I understand. It's Sasuke Uchiha.

Orochimaru

Exactly. You guessed it. It's Sasuke I want.

Orochimaru

[To Sarutobi] What nonsense! In the grand scheme of time, you're nothing more than a trivial footnote in the brief history of a cluster of huts called the Leaf Village! In time, the Hokage Stone Faces will crumble and be worn down to nothing...

[To Orochimaru] Hmph, you've never understood that it's far more than a mere 'cluster of huts'. It is a place where every year, Shinobi are born, raised, grow old, fight, and die to protect their home. These people are precious to me. We share a home, we share a life, and though we may not share ties of blood... they are precious to me! They are my family!
