Naruto · Season 1
[The Sound Four prepare to stab Lee, Shikamaru, and Kiba]
Now die!
You're mine!
You're gonna die kid! Wipe that grin off your face!
[Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara respectively rescue Shikamaru, Kiba, and Lee]
Well what do you know? Looks like we're on the same side.
Who are you?
Allies of the Leaf Village...
We're shinobi...
Of the sand!
By the way, you seem a lot dumber than the last time our paths crossed. So are you going to give up again this time? Go ahead, I'll take care of this for you.
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but I'm not about to give up. And besides, a real man doesn't allow a woman to do his fighting for him.
Ha. Still being all macho with all the man and woman stuff? You talk tough but I know it's just an act. Idiot.
So this time you're on the Leaf's side, huh? You guys are all over the place, aren't you?
The sound of the flute summons her genjutsu.
I got it. Cyclone scythe jutsu! [releases a whirlwind to repel Tayuya]
She's deflecting the sound of the flute and nailing our opponent with a physical attack. She can attack and defend at the same time. That's a pretty handy jutsu to have.
It's like that girl was born to fight me!
Fair warning. We sand ninja aren't pushovers like our friends from the Leaf. Oh and standing as close as you are to my friend the Black Ant, big mistake.
I hated going against the sand ninja as enemies, but as Allies they're pretty amazing.
That hurt. You take over, brother. Let me rest in this body a bit.
You're so pathetic, Sakon.
I can't retreat after he's underestimated me!
Excuse me, did I ask for your opinion? I told you to explain the situation to me, that's all. You have no idea what kind of powers I have. If she thinks she can hide from me but stay close enough so the sound of her flute can still reach me, she's mistaken. All right. Summoning blade dance!
All right, I'm far enough away. It's time for my genjutsu.
[Temari's cyclone destroys the forest and kills Tayuya]
How was that? It's finished.
She doesn't mess around huh? She's as subtle as a rhino. She might even be scarier than my mom.
You're nothing without that sand of yours. Why else would you go through the trouble of lugging it around?
Sand shower. [rains sand]
What a surprise. [his legs are restrained by sand]
But as long as I have it, I can do anything.
I don't hate the darkness. It was in the darkness that I was raised.
[Flashback to Kimimaro living in a prison]
Why? It's not fair. Why am I in a place like this? Why me? I don't get it, what did I do wrong? Is there really a God watching over us? And if God does exist, how could he let something like this happen to me?
Maybe, just maybe there is no purpose in life. But if you linger a while longer in this world you might discover something of value in it. Like how you discovered that flower. Or how I discovered you one fateful night.
That's what Lord Orochimaru said to me that day. But people are born for a reason, that's what I think. They have something they're meant to do with their lives, and I am no different.
[Kimimaro and the Sound Four are staring each other down after Orochimaru gives Kimimaro the Earth Seal]
You obey me or you die. Which do you prefer?
How about neither one?
[They all jump down at Kimimaro, but are easily defeated. Jirobo and Kidomaru collapse]
Pathetic. Is that the best you four can do? Now then I'll ask you once again. Which do you prefer?
[Tayuya and Sakon look at each other and then bow down]
Very well. We are now the Sound Ninja Five.
Orochimaru has brainwashed you well. You sad little pawn.
You're wrong! You don't understand! [flashes back to his times with Orochimaru] I will see the truth of this world... LORD OROCHIMARU WILL SHOW ME!
A tenacious opponent, but this time it's over. We won't be seeing him again in this life.
Yes. Good.
My strength is gone. We must descend.
[last words] I am not his pawn! He is the one, the only one who ever gave my life meaning! But how could the likes of you EVER UNDERSTAND THAT?!
[Orochimaru and Kabuto are shown sensing Kimimaro's death]
It was sheer luck... I should have been killed.
No, it was not meant to be. My Sensei has often said to me: "A good ninja makes his own luck."
That meddlesome mother hen...
[offended] Guy-Sensei is nothing of the sort! Yes, he stepped in, but only that once, and only because I was not strong enough. I am very grateful to you for having saved my life, but I warn you, I will not abide of anyone speaking ill of my Sensei.
So you're another one, eh?
Huh?
You have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that every hurt inflicted on them is inflicted on you as well. And the closer they are to you, the greater the pain. [remembers Kimimaro's last words] To feel so strongly for someone you would fight for them...and die for them. You and Naruto Uzumaki have that in common. However, what if this person you honor and would even die for is not a virtuous person?
Impossible! Such a person would be unworthy of honor or respect.
No. Perhaps the companionship of even an evil person is preferable to loneliness...
[To Naruto] I have woken up. Don't you see? That guy who dreamed of a happy future full of peace and friendship, he was the one who was asleep. That's why I left the village, that's why I've gone in search of power. It's not the future I dream of anymore, only the past. That's where my dream lies.
[To the police after beating them for accusing him of Shisui's murder] Like I said before, Appearances and preconceptions aren't going to tell you anything. For instance, you've made the mistake of assuming I'm a patient man. The clan, the clan... You overestimate your own abilities with no idea of the depth of my own. And look at you now, groveling in the dirt.
I've never seen him like this before.
Shisui had been keeping an eye on you recently. The strangeness of your behavior. Half a year into your time at ANBU, it was impossible to overlook. What the heck are you playing at, you filthy little wretch?
Obsessed with the organization, obsessed with the clan, obsessed with our lineage... A worthless compulsion that enslaves us and limits our capabilities, leading us to fear what you don't understand.
Stop it, Itachi! What in the world is the matter with you?! Itachi, you've been strange lately.
There's nothing strange about me. I have my own duties to fulfill, that's all.
So what's your story? Why didn't you come last night?
To achieve the next state.
What are you talking about?
[Itachi draws a kunai, throwing it at a wall with an Uchiha crest]
I've had enough. There's no hope left for this pathetic clan. The people of this clan are all the same. You focus on the trivial and lose sight of what's most important. Change is impossible in this fog of ignorance. How can we evolve when regulation is the only thing we've ever known?
Like me, you may be one of the few who can use Mangekyo Sharingan. But there is a catch... Take the life of your best friend. You must kill him.
No matter what darkness may await me, even if it means killing you, I will meet it head on. And whatever happens, I will get that power. From this point on I am an avenger.
You know what they say, don't you Naruto? When two Shinobi are powerful enough they are able to read each other's thoughts simply by an exchange of fists, without ever uttering a single word. Get it? You've always been naïve, Naruto. Tell me, do you know my thoughts? Can you tell what's on my mind?
