[on Tsunade] I underestimated her. She shouldn't still be conscious.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
What would I want with the Uchiha kid? Tell me, where's the fun in teaching a boy who's already a genius to begin with?
How touching. You're drawn to him because he reminds you of your old self, is that it? That brat of yours could never beat Uchiha, born as he was into the Shinobi art of Sharingan. Without Sharingan, poor Naruto hasn't a chance of surpassing him. A shinobi's strength rests upon his ability to obtain and master all the jutsu of this world. The very reason we are called ninja is because of the many ninjutsu arts that we wield.
You're wrong, that's not what makes a shinobi. You never did get it. A real ninja is one who endures no matter what gets thrown at him.
Little kids think life is so easy. That's why they're always going on and on about their dreams. That's why they never give up. They go chasing after some stupid dream and they die.
That's enough! I'm not gonna run away. I never go back on my word! That's my nindo, my ninja way!
You should have stayed out of this Naruto. [hits him]
What are you... What are you doing?
[gets up] All right grandma.
Still haven't had enough?
Get ready to pay up on our bet. That cursed necklace of yours is about to be mine. Shadow clone jutsu!
Shadow clones can't help him here. Enough! Naruto, you don't have to protect me. Stop already!
[charges] I warned you not to be stubborn. Now you die! Now you've thrown it all away! Dreams don't come true when you're dead!
Just get out of the way Naruto! No, look out!
[grabs Kabuto's kunai with his bare hand] Don't you worry about me. Until I become Hokage, I don't care what happens. Okay, let's see you dodge me this time. Here goes! [his clone helps him form the Rasengan]
He's channeling chakra again like before. No, this is different.
Now I see. He made the clone to gather up his chakra. Ingenious.
Compress the chakra, keep it going...
That's impossible!
[successfully forms the Rasengan for the first time] Rasengan!
Tsunade, you are the one person I wouldn't want to kill. Listen to me, if that brat is allowed to live it would mean more trouble than you and your friends could ever imagine. Stay out of my way.
No, you listen to me. If I do nothing else, I will protect this boy.
Ha, and how do you plan to do that? Look at you, your body is shivering like a leaf in the wind. Besides, why would you, one of the Sannin, risk your life to save a lowly genin?
By saving him I'm saving my home, the Village Hidden in the Leaves.
You really think you're protecting the village?
You see, this boy, this lowly little genin, has been chosen by fate to be Hokage someday.
What nonsense. Even if it is true, what of it? Who cares about the Hokage? Only a fool would want that job.
[flashes back to what everyone's told her about Hokage] From now on, I'm gambling everything too. I'm putting my life on the line!
[To an Unconscious Naruto] To be Hokage is your dream Naruto, isn't it? One more time, just one more time,[Gently lifts Naruto's head and places the Hokage necklace around his neck] for the last time, I want those words to be true. [Smiles lovingly as her tears fall]
MManda
So Orochimaru, when this is over I'll expect 100 human sacrifices.
If Manda finds out that his master can't use any of his jutsu, he's more than likely to betray us. This was a mistake. No matter how hopeless things looked, he never should've summoned Manda, not in his condition.
Katsuyu, see to the boy. Take him to Shizune quickly.
KKatsuyu
Yes milady, at once.
There, I'm ready.
KKatsuyu
Shizune, please look after the boy. [deposits Naruto] The battle to come promises to be a most fearful one. You and this clone of myself must take the boy somewhere safe and see that no harm comes to him. This is the wish of your mistress.
Lady Tsunade.
MManda
I'm going to pop you like a balloon, you dirty stinking toad!
GGamabunta
Then please come on and try it. I've always wanted a snakeskin wallet.
Orochimaru, you're no longer fit to be one of us. Your evil days are finally at an end.
One of us? What an insult.
After this there'll be one less Sannin in this world.
[To Tsunade] I've often wondered what it would be like to wring that pretty neck of yours!
MManda
I'd eat you both right now, but I won't be swallowing solid food for weeks thanks to this hole in my mouth. But if we meet again, well he'd better hope we don't.
Do you see him, Nawaki, Dan? Be at peace, my beloveds. Your dream is still alive.
GGuy
There's no doubt in my mind the surgery will be a success. You have the power to shape your own destiny. And on the 1 in 1000- no, 1 in 1,000,000 chance something should go wrong, I will die right along with you. Since I met you, my nindo has been to train you to become the most splendid ninja possible. That's a promise.
The three of you treating me to lunch? You're not going to drop a big pile of snow on me, are you, or something like that?
[When he sees an advertisement for "Make Out Paradise: The Movie] Wait, my favorite book is going to be a movie? I'd better order tickets in advance!
[To Choji after Ino leaves] She has no clue. Despite what most women seem to believe, men don't always go for the skinny girls. Most guys I know, they like girls with a little meat on their bones. It just looks healthier. Oh yeah, and the reverse is true too, you know. I'd bet anything she'd be twice as popular if she put on a few pounds instead of starving herself. She should eat.
[After pinning Sasuke to a tree] Sorry, I knew you wouldn't want to sit still for a lecture, so, I figured I'd have to pin you down. [the Sound Four take notice] Let it go. You've gotta forget about revenge.
[Shocked] What?
Believe me. In this work, I've met a lot of guys who feel the way you do. Trust me. For those who follow the path of revenge, it never ends well. You'll only tear yourself apart. And even if you succeed and you get your revenge, what will you have then? Nothing. Emptiness.
Shut up! What makes you think you know anything about it?! It's easy for you to talk. You have NO idea!
Just try to calm down.
[Angry] Maybe if I was to kill the most important people in YOUR life, everyone who's ever meant anything. Maybe THEN I'd listen to you because maybe THEN you'll have some idea how I feel!
Hmm. It's an interesting theory. But I'm afraid you're a little late to put it to the test. [Smiles softly] Everyone you're talking about has already been killed.
[Eyes widen in shock]
I've been around longer than you have, kid. And I've seen my share of troubles. You're not the only one who knows what it's like to lose somebody... So, it looks like neither of us has led a charmed life, exactly, have we? Still, we're not all that bad off. At least you and I have been lucky enough to find new comrades to help fill the void.
Sasuke would never let a guy like that sink his claws into him. I mean, he's already a total powerhouse.
