Just shut up for once... What the heck do you know about it? It's not like you ever had a family in the first place. You were on your own right from the beginning! What makes you think you know anything about it, huh?! I'm suffering now because I had those ties. How on earth could you possibly understand what it feels like to lose all that?!
It's true. I have no idea what it's like having parents or a brother. However, whenever I'm with Iruka-sensei, I wonder... [flashes back to his times with Iruka] if that's what it feels like to have a father. And when I'm with you... [flashes back to his times with Sasuke] I wonder if this is what it feels like to have a brother.
It's too late, Naruto. It's just too late. I can't turn back. [awakens his Sharingan's 3rd tomoe] Come, Naruto! If that's how it is, I'll just have to sever that bond.
[at the Final Valley] Look at that river. The water just rages on for eternity like this epic neverending battle, as eternal as the two founders of the Hidden Leaf Village, forever standing as these statues. Naruto and Sasuke, as long as they live, the cycle will continue.
This mission, I thought all I had to do was depend on everybody else. Some leader. I thought I should've done more, but I didn't have the strength. It's all my fault.
You bet I do. Standing around arguing isn't my thing. That's something girls like to do.

And what are you? You're not a man, that's for sure. As far as I can see, you're nothing but a coward. You think if you quit, the missions will stop? Someone's gotta do it. Your comrades will be sent out again, on other missions, with someone else leading them. They'll face the same risks and some of them might not make it, ones you might have saved if you'd been there to lead them. How are you going to feel then? You've got a chance to reflect on your mistakes and to learn from them. Use your failures to make yourself a better leader. You won't help your friends by running away. Instead, you should be trying to make yourself stronger for their sake, so that the next mission goes perfectly and everyone gets back safe. The choice is simple. You're either a leader or a coward. So, which are you?
[Advising Naruto to forget about Sasuke] To be a shinobi you need more than strength and jutsu. You must acquire the judgment to make the right decisions. You must become smarter. The longer you remain a fool, the harder it will be for you to live in this world. That's reality.
Fine then. If being smarter means what you say it does, I'll remain a fool my entire life. I'm going after him, and I'll do it alone if I have to. I'll create my own incredible jutsu, and whenever the Akatsuki show up, I'll smack them down!
The thought of my leaving you to come up with Jutsu on your own like that idiotic sexy Jutsu of yours... No, it's too depressing. This is more than foolish, it's so colossally foolish it might even work. We've got a lot of work to do when you get out of the hospital. So be ready to hit the ground running. See you then.
I won't let that happen. You're not getting off that easy. No way! The people you and Raiga killed, they all wanted to live but you didn't leave them that choice! You decided for them! Well you don't get to decide this time, ok?! You're gonna live and you're going to take some responsibility for all those people's lives you cut short!
