When we fight, no matter how puny our opponent is, we don't mock them. We face them with full strength.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Leave me alone, Temari. Go away. You're nothing but a nuisance. Beat it! [Smacks her into a faraway tree] I don't need you.
He wanted me to attack so he could get his creepy crawlies to infest Crow's body. Now they are going after my chakra puppet strings. Why? Right. I forgot those things eat chakra. My strings are leading the bugs right to me. [severs strings]
He severed his chakra strings himself.
What a sucker. He doesn't know I can reestablish control over my puppet with a blink of an eye. It's what makes me an expert puppet master. And so what if Crow's body is out of commission? I don't need his body. Every part of him is a lethal weapon. [To Shino] Looks like you underestimated me, bug boy. For the last time! There's enough poison on that to drop an elephant, so you're dead.
I have no idea what scheme you sand village clowns have got going but I'll stop it, no matter what it is. Besides I'm dying to see what you really are.
[seeing him beginning to transform] Gaara no! Oh no. It's happening. Any second he's going to let that thing out. No, not now! No Gaara! remember our mission!
We're so alike, Uchiha. I don't have friends as you have, but they're not what makes you strong. It's your purpose that does it. In that way we're alike. But mine is the stronger purpose. For only by destroying you and all that you represent can I even prove that I exist. Only by killing you can I know what life is.
[Flashback]
What is it?
I sense a trace of bloodlust in the air. Alright come on out. [Gaara emerges] So it's you.
Tell me, what is your true purpose? Why is it that you seek power?
Like it's any business of yours. Beat it. You're interrupting my training.
I see it. You have the eyes. Eyes that seek power and will do anything to get it... even kill. Eyes full of hate like mine. We're the same.
[Present]
You. You are my... You are my prey! My prey!
[looks at his heart] But lately I've felt a lot of pain here.
[Cuts his finger] Wound your body and the blood will flow, following fast on the heels of pain, but as time passes the pain eventually fades away. With the help of medicine it can heal even faster. But even more dangerous is a wound dealt to the heart, because there is nothing that has more trouble healing.
A wound to the heart?
Wounds to the heart are a little different from wounds to the flesh. Unlike an injury to the body, there is no medicine for a wounded heart, and sometimes it never heals. But don't worry. There is one thing that can mend a broken heart, but it's a very complicated remedy. It can only be administered to you by another person.
So then what am I supposed to do?
There's one thing that can heal the heart, only one. It's love, Gaara.
Love?
You've got it.
But how am I supposed to get rid of it? What is it I have to do to get rid of this pain?
Don't you know, Gaara? It has already been given to you. Love is a heart's desire to serve someone precious to you, to watch over them, to care for them, like my sister did for you.
I don't ever want to have to see that again, my trusted comrades falling right in front of me.
[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.
It's almost unbearable, isn't it? The feeling of being all alone. I know that feeling, I've been there, in that dark and lonely place. But now there are others, other people who mean a lot to me. I care more about them than I do myself, and I won't let anyone hurt them. That's why I won't ever give up. I will stop you, even if I have to kill you.
But why? Why would you do this for anyone but yourself?
Because they saved me from myself. They rescued me from my loneliness. They were the first to accept me for who I am. They're my friends.
[About the Third Hokage] A fitting end for one who had mastered the way of the shinobi.
[To young Tsunade] Aw just shut up you flat chested cutting board!
It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Your instructors tell me you're among the most playful of their students, always full of fun. You're very brave. It's hard to hide sadness behind laughter.
[As a child] What makes you think I'm sad about anything?! It's a noble thing to die in the line of duty, right? My parents gave their lives to protect this place from the fox demon. I'm the son of heroes. How can I be sad when they died that way?! I'm not even sad because they went and left me all alone. If I cry, it's 'cause I'm proud.
It's all right, Iruka. I know that somewhere inside of you, there's a boy curled up in a ball of pain. But remember this, you are not alone. Inside every ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village burns the Will of Fire.
The Will of Fire?
It's what gives us the strength to defend our village. It's the unbreakable bond that ties us all together. It's what makes us a family. I wonder, do you have it yet, young as you are?
[Back to present, Kakashi is at the Memorial Stone as Yugao arrives]
Are those for Hayate? Better make it quick. The Hokage's funeral has already begun.
And you, Kakashi? Paying respects to Obito? Instead of constantly inventing new excuses for being late, why don't you simply come here earlier?
I did, I've been here since dawn. This place makes me think about the mistakes I've made in the past... and I've made so many of them.
[Everyone takes turns paying their respects to the Third Hokage and remembering the times they shared with him]
Iruka sensei, why do they do it? Why do people risk their lives for other people?
Well, when someone passes away it's the end. His past and future, all the dreams he once had, they disappear along with him. This is true even if he dies honorably in battle as so many have, as Hayate did. All the ties that bind him to the living are severed, all but one, the most important of all: people. Parents, siblings, friends, lovers... the people who were important to him. And these people, the ones left behind, are joined together in a great circle by their shared memories of him, a circle of friendship, trust, and sacrifice that grows larger and stronger as time passes. It's hard to explain it. We remain in the circle together. We have no choice. It's important to us.
So we do it because we have to. I get it, sort of. Still I'm sad he's gone.
Think how sad it would be if he died for nothing. But he left us something priceless. Don't worry, you'll understand one of these days.
Hey give me some credit, that much I get.
The rain, it stopped.
Bye Iruka sensei, see you later.
All right. Do you see it, Lord Hokage? The will of fire is stronger than ever. The sparks you left behind have kindled the flame among the young leaves on the next generation, a mighty flame, Lord Hokage. It will burn brightly and it will shine its light up on our village and keep it warm and safe for many years to come, and someday out of that flame will come a new Hokage.
[Overlooking the Leaf Village]
Well it survived, but barely. The damage is extensive.
Not long ago it was at the height of its glory. Look at it now.
[scoffs] You sound almost sad. Don't tell me you still have feelings for your old home?
No. None.
[about Asuma] This guy is getting on my nerves. Can I kill him?
Well I guess we're not going anywhere without a fight. Just try not to overdo it. Your moves tend to stand out.
They're as good as dead.
[Kisame attacks Asuma while Kurenai vanishes]
I see, genjutsu.
He's bearing down with just the edge of his sword. His strength is unreal.
[his sword is revealed to be covered in dermal denticles] My massive blade, Sharkskin. It doesn't slice, it cuts to ribbons!
You're not the only ones, are you? There are seven more of you out there searching, hunting. I know all about you. You call yourselves the Akatsuki right?
Akatsuki?
Kisame, we'll take Kakashi, but we don't need the others. Get rid of them.
[intercepts Kisame] Severe leaf hurricane!
Well, who have we here?
The Leaf Village's fiercest beast of battle, I'm Might Guy!
You're Might Guy, huh? Mighty stupid looking Guy!
[To Kakashi] I wonder how much of this someone without the Kekkai Genkai can take?
