Naruto quotes

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.

Once you question your own belief, it's over.

When you give up, your dreams and everything else, they're gone.

Don't underestimate me! I don't quit and I don't run! You can act tough all you want! You're not gonna scare me off! No way! I don't care if I DO get stuck as a Genin for the rest of my life! I'll still be Hokage someday!

People who continue to put their lives on the line to defend their faith become heroes and continue to exist on in legend.

If you don't like the hand that fate's dealt you with, fight for a new one!

The pain of being alone is completely out of this world, isn't it? I don't know why, but I understand your feelings so much, it actually hurts.

Hard work is worthless for those that don't believe in themselves.

When people have different opinions, you should apply the majority vote.

If the father's responsibility is to protect the child... then my responsibility is to exceed the father.

When people are protecting something truly special to them, they truly can become... as strong as they can be.

If you don't like your destiny, don't accept it. Instead, have the courage to change it the way you want it to be!

Failing doesn't give you a reason to give up as long as you believe.

My power isn't the Rasengan or Sage Jutsu or the Nine Tails chakra. My power is right here. [points to the center of his chest]

Listen to yourself whining and complaining like some sorry little victim! You can whimper all day for all I care, you're nothing but a coward!

While you're alive, you need a reason for your existence. Being unable to find one is the same as being dead.

It's not the face that makes someone a monster, it's the choices they make with their lives.

I'm the only one who can bear the full brunt of your hate! It's my job, no one else's! I'll bear the burden of your hatred... and we'll die together!

If we fight again... We're both gonna die.

I will become a bigger badass than my father. And a stronger shinobi than my mother!

To become Hokage is my dream!

Sasuke! Sasuke! Sasuke! What does he have that I don't have?!

So shut up about "destiny" and...how people can't change! 'Cause... unlike me... you're not a "failure".

When I'm with Iruka-sensei, I think if that's what having a father is like... *to Sasuke* When I'm with you, I think if that's what having a brother is like.

Sasuke, I always knew you were alone. In the beginning I was glad because I thought you were like me - I wanted to talk to you! But you... didn't speak. You always had everyone watching you. You could do everything and we were too different. So I decided that you would become my rival. I didn't want to lose because I was called a loser all the time. Even when we became Team 7, I still thought this way. I always tried to lie but... but the truth is... I always wanted to be like you. I aspired to be like you. Because of that... I was glad that you wanted to fight me.

Sakura-chan, you sure do love Sasuke, don't you?

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. It looks like neither of us has led a charming life, have we? Still, it's not that bad. At least you and I have been lucky enough to find new comrades to help fill the void.

Forget about revenge. The fate of those who seek revenge is grim. It's tragic, You will end up suffering and hurting yourself even more. Even if you do succeed in getting revenge, the only thing that remains is emptiness.

If comrades that you trust gather around you, hope can take physical form and become visible. That`s what I believe...

In society, those who don't have many abilities, tend to complain more.

I'm Hatake Kakashi. Things I like and things I hate? I don't feel like telling you that. My dreams for the future? Never really thought about that. As for my hobbies... I have lots of hobbies.

Some people want power and they get mad when they don't get it. They take their fury out on everyone else. You don't want it, it becomes you.

The hole in one's heart gets filled by others around you. Friends won't flock to someone who abandons the memory of his friends and gives up on the world just because things don't go the way he wants them to. That won't help fill the hole in your heart. And people won't help those who run away and do nothing. As long as you don't give up, there will always be salvation.

I really am... shinobi trash. But the one thing I still learned is this. That void is something that everyone helps you fill. Just because you face adversity and hardships, is no reason to give up on this world. A person willing to throw away all those memories... of their friends and comrades, will never find peace of mind. Resorting to something like that isn't going to bury that hole. If you persevere and endure, someone will be there to support you!

In the shinobi world, those that break the written and unwritten rules are deemed trash... but be that as it may... Those that would desregard their comrades so easily are even worse than trash. And those who don't have the decency to respect the memories of their comrades are the worst.

Behind this mask is...Another mask! Pretty cool, huh?

Leaf Village Secret-Finger Justu...1,000 Years of Death!!! *sticks his fingers up Naruto's ass*

Hmmm...how do I put this? My first impression of this group...you're a bunch of idiots!

I will show you my own move.

I don't know what this boy means to you, Gai, but I shouldn't have to tell you that we never bring our personal feelings into play. I didn't think you were capable of it.

A ninja must see underneath the underneath.

Sorry I'm late guys, a black cat crossed my path so I had to go the long way.

Sorry I'm late. You wouldn't believe the traffic.

I've lived longer than you. And times have been bad. I know the pain of loss. You and I haven't really been fortunate. It's true. But it could be worse. For me, and for you, too... We've found good friends, haven't we? Because of your losses, you should understand.

Gai...what I said earlier...I was out of line. I was being a self-righteous fool. I realize now that if I'd been in your shoes, I probably couldn't have stopped him, either.

[thinking] If I'm still sane by the time I finish their training it'll be a miracle!

Because of the existence of love - sacrifice is born. As well as hate. Then one comprehends... one knows PAIN.

Even the most ignorant, innocent child will eventually grow up as they learn what true pain is. It affects what they say, what they think… and they become real people.

Love breeds sacrifice... which in turn breeds hatred. Then you can know pain.

Just by living, people hurt others without even realizing it. So long as humanity exists, hate will also exist. There is no peace in this cursed world. War is just a crime paid for by the pain of the defeated...

People are stupid. If I don't do this, there will be no peace. Eventually, time will pass and the pain will heal. Eventually, checkmate's power will weaken and people will begin fighting again. This time, they will use the weapon themselves and once more know true pain. And for the short time, peace will come again. It will give birth to short period of peace within this endless chain of hatred. That's my wish.

Even children are forced to grow up in the face of pain.

Sometimes you must hurt in order to know, fall in order to grow, lose in order to gain because life's greatest lessons are learned through pain.

Pain is the way to bring peace.

How can you say that you will never change? That you will not change, no matter how great the pain you face? Can you continue believing in yourself forever? Can you guarantee it? Can you have such faith in yourself?!

Do you understand pain a little now? If you don't share someone's pain, you can never understand them. But just because you understand them doesn't mean you can come to an agreement. That's the truth

We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge that we deem to be justice. But... if there is justice in revenge then that same justice will breed only more revenge... and trigger a cycle of hatred.

Love is the reason why there is pain. When we lose someone precious to us, hate is born. Vengeance is the product of that hate and so death follows. But in death there is only more death. This will give rise to more pains. In this cursed world we live in, it is a cycle of hatred that will not cease. You and I seek the same thing that Jiraiya-sensei wanted. Let me ask you this: How will you confront this hatred in order to create peace?

You think you're the only ones who matter. You think you can put off death. But that peace made you foolish and thoughtless. If you kill someone, someone else will kill you... this hatred binds us together.

Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because. No matter how pathetic the reason, it's enough to start a war.

Human nature pursues strife.

Justice comes from vengeance, but that justice only breeds more vengeance.

Just because someone is important to you, it doesn't necessarily mean that, that person is good. Even if you knew that person was evil... People cannot win against their loneliness.

We have walked through the darkness of this world, that’s why we are able to see even a sliver of light.

Three times now... We've fought world wars for our own nations, our own villages. We've hurt one another. We've hated one another. That hatred bred a lust for power, and that lust for power created ME. I was a Jinchuuriki, the embodiment of hatred and power. And I hated this world, and all the people in it... I wanted to destroy it with my own hands. The exact same thing Akatsuki is trying to do today. But one man, one ninja from Konoha stopped me. I was his enemy, yet he wept for me! I hurt him, yet he called me his friend! He saved me! My enemy, my fellow Jinchuuriki... He suffered the same pain as me, yet bore no ill will! There are no enemies here because we've all suffered at Akatsuki's hand! SO THERE IS NO SAND, NO STONE, NO LEAF, NO MIST, NO CLOUD! THERE ARE ONLY SHINOBI! And if you still hold a grudge against the Sand, then when this war is over, come and take my head instead! Our enemies are after the friend who saved my life! If they take him, if we hand him over, our world is finished! I want to protect him, and I want to protect our world! But I'm too young to protect it all on my own! All of you lend me your aid!

Now there's something I understand a little better. Hate, sadness, even joy. To be able to share it with another person... Naruto Uzumaki. From fighting him I learned that. He knew pain like I did and then he taught me that you can change your path. I wish that one day I can be needed by someone. Not as a frightening weapon... But as the sand's Kazekage.

If love is just a word, then why does it hurt so much if you realize it isn't there?

Family? Let me tell you what kind of link I have with them. They are just lumps of meat linked by hatred and murderous intent!

In order to escape a road of solitude, one has to work hard, and forge a new path with their own power.

Peace under an illusion is not true peace. It's only meaningful if the real world manages to accomplish it.

One day I'd like to become something precious to others.

Naruto... Just so you know, there will be a war to protect the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails. In other words - you. For the sake of the ninja world and as the Kazekage, I will guard you with my life. If as a member of Akatsuki, Sasuke Uchiha stands in the way of the ninja coalition... I will show him no mercy.

Bitter crimson tears flow from lifeless eyes, and mingle with the endless sands... Bestowing ever greater power upon the demon god.

I took the life of the woman I was supposed to call mother in the process of being born... in order to become the world's strongest shinobi... I became the incarnation of sand...

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! MY BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

You can make a rain of 1,000 needles. I will make it rain blood.

It's too bad I don't think of you as anything. If you get in my way... I'll kill you.

People cannot win against their loneliness.

It’s because we help out when they’re in trouble that we can count on them to come running when we need it.

Laziness is the mother of all bad habits. But ultimately she is a mother and we should respect her.

It's not because I'm lazy, it's just because I don't care.

It's stupid to talk about things you're not. Be yourself and you'll be fine.

Regardless of our limitations, we can always be of some use. Our power may seem insignificant... but it may just prove to be useful in the grand scheme of things. Stay focused. Never avert your eyes, because if an opening arises, even our insignificant power may be enough to determine the fate of the world. Which is why everyone must stay alert and ready to strike at any moment!

There's no advantage to hurrying through life.

Someday, I just want to marry a regular girl who isn't too ugly and not too pretty. Have two children, first a girl, then a boy. Retire after my daughter is married and my son becomes a successful ninja, and spend the rest of my life playing shōgi or Go. Then die of old age before my wife.

In life, nothing good comes out of hurrying.

*To Temari* It really doesn't matter to me if I ever become a chūnin or not, but I guess I shouldn't let myself be beaten by a female, so let's do it.

*To Tayuya* How many times do I have to tell you? The first move is always a feint. It's the most basic thing, to land a hit with the second move.

*To himself, while fighting Temari* Oh man... those clouds are so lucky. so free. More to the point, I didn't feel like doing this in the first place. And I only became a ninja because I thought life would've been more interesting as one... I suppose things aren't gonna be that simple.

I could say I'm not sad, but I'd be lying. The problem is the world won't let me stay a kid forever, so I can't lie around crying about it either.

He turned a room full of strangers into a room full of enemies with just one sentence.

Humans... Do humans have a purpose when they are born? I have been wondering recently. Because they are born, do they have an important duty? The meaning of being born... For humans to find that answer... It is the one freedom God gave them.

[after Naruto does his Shadow Clone Jutsu] Oh, there sure is a lot of garbage scattered around here. But, trash is just trash after all. It simply needs to be cleaned up.

Is there really a god? If there is one, why does he keep me confined in here?

I don't hate the darkness. It was IN the darkness that I was raised.

I will see the truth of this world... LORD OROCHIMARU WILL SHOW ME!!!

If Tayuya comes back, I'll kill her.

I've been wondering... There must be a purpose for people being born into this world. Why are we here? What does it mean? I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I realized that finding our purpose IS the meaning. That's why we're here. And the ones who find it... They're the only ones who are truly free.

You've only seen one of my dances.

[to the Sound Ninja Four] Which do you prefer? To die, or to obey?

Against the power of will I posses... The capability of my body is nothing.

I see...since I am no longer going to be Lord Orochimaru's vessel, my duty is to protect the vessel.

Lets see, how should I kill you?

*referring to Orochimaru* 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?!?

It is only through the eyes of others that our lives have any meaning.

Often people have it wrong, mistakenly believing... that showing mercy to an enemy is kindness. They spare the foe whose life is in their hands. But don't you see? It's an empty existence, to go on living... alone and unloved... when defeat's already cost you your dream!

{TO NARUTO} Oh, by the way... I'm a boy

Is there... somebody precious to you?

That is when I realized that in all of the world no one needed me. I was alone.

I'm sure that the boy I killed, who shared that skill, must also have grown up knowing the pain of which I speak. We are special. We are powerful. And we are feared.

Can you understand? Not having a dream... not being needed by anyone... The pain of merely being alive.

I am of no more use as his tool. Please, kill me.

Often people have it wrong, mistakenly believing...that showing mercy to an enemy is kindness. They spare the foe whose life is in their hands... But don't you see? It's an empty existence... to go on living... alone and unloved... when defeat's already cost you your dream!

I want to make his dreams come true...

It's human nature not to realize the true value of something, unless they lose it.

Either people change or they die before they do. It's one or the other.

Real power is forged from the desire smoldering in the heart. It fans into a flame and begins to burn with an intensity scarcely imagined to be possible.

True power is forged from the desire smoldering in the heart, it fans into a flame and begins to burn with an intensity one scarcely imagines to be possible...

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.

[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...

There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.

Darkness. When everything that you know and love is taken away from you so harshly. All you can think about is anger, hatred and even revenge. And no one can save you.

Rejection is a part of any man’s life. If you can’t accept and move past rejection, or at least use it as writing material - you’re not a real man.

A place where someone still thinks about you is a place you can call home.

Getting dumped always makes a man stronger. But then again, men aren't meant to pursue happiness.

Knowing what it feels to be in pain, is exactly why we try to be kind to others.

Rejection makes a man stronger.

A person grows up when he's able to overcome hardships. Protection is important, but there are some things that a person must learn on his own.

All the girls in Konoha are so hot these days.

It's not bad enough they buried us alive in the oversized dung heap, but now they're stealing our chakra. You gotta give these guys credit for thoroughness!

Akamaru, what's wrong boy? Have you forgotten my scent? We've always been together haven't we? We grew up together. Akamaru please, somewhere in there, there has to be a part of you that remembers. Show me that you remember. AKAMARU! Forgive me. Can you? I know that I've brought you nothing but pain and suffering. I broke my word. I swore I'd always protect you. Akamaru I'm sorry. Sorry I wasn't a better master. I'm here. Here for you. Forever.

A wall's a wall and there's no wall I can't punch a hole through!

I must be a pretty pathetic owner for you to have bitten me, Akamaru....

Hinata, untie the ropes before you faint.

I called you an idiot, idiot!

It seems like the small leaves in the Village of Konoha have inherited that "will of fire" you spoke of, Third. The fire on the leaves will eventually burn greater and stronger... It will flash its light and protect this village.

I hate the fox, but the boy - I don't hate the boy.

[About Naruto] Well that's typical. Not happy unless he's giving people a heart attack.

[as a child] Why should I be sad?! My parents died protecting the village from the monster fox. They're heroes, and I'm the son of those heroes! If I cry, it's because I'm happy! I'm not even sad that they went and left me all alone...

When a person dies, he disappears, along with his past, current lifestyle, and his future. Many people die in missions and wars. They die easily and in surprisingly simple ways. Hayate was one of them. Those who die have goals and dreams. But everyone has something as important as those. Parents, siblings, friends, lovers... people who are important to you. They trust and help each other. The bond between the people important to you ever since birth and the string that binds them becomes thicker and stronger as time goes by... It's beyond reason. Those bound to you by that string will do that because it is important.

[when Naruto transforms into a woman in front of the whole class] CUT THE STUPID TRICKS! THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING!!

Fear. That is what we live with. And we live it everyday. Only in death are we free of it.

The difference between stupidity and genius, is that genius has its limits.

People share only one common fate... death.

Hinata... this is the unalterable difference in strength... the distinction that separates the elite from the failure. This is the unchangeable reality. From the moment you said you wouldn't run, your defeat was inevitable. The only possible outcome was your present despair... Withdraw!

[To Hinata At Chuunin Exams] So you're not going to withdraw? Then don't blame me for what happens to you.

[talking about food] The last bite. It is the final one, and the most suitable one to enjoy the most. No matter what it costs, I will not give it up.

[When Ino visits him in the hospital] Hehe. I'm also the type that gets girls to visit him. Take that, Shikamaru!

Chubbies rule!

This punch is heavier than life itself!

I'm not fat, I'm pleasingly plump!

Hmm... Itachi... it would be annoying if he moved around a lot. Perhaps we should cut off a leg or two?

Konoha's Uchiha clan and the Mist's Seven Shinobi-gatana seem petty before his name.

[after learning Guy Sensei's name. Might Guy] Yeah, mighty stupid looking guy!

I'll enjoy shaving you to death.

Hmhmhmhm, I think I will play with you a bit before killing you!

You tick me off. I hate short people anyway. And you're so impertinent for someone younger than me. It makes me want to break you.

[Thinking] What a sucker. He doesn't know I can re-establish control over my puppet within 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.

But I want to play around before some noisy people come!

A fair warning... we ninja of the Sand aren't as easygoing as those of the Leaf. But getting close to Kuroari so carelessly...isn't good!

Physical wounds will definitely bleed and may look painful but over time they heal by themselves and if you apply medicine, they will heal faster. What's troublesome are wounds of the heart. Nothing is harder to heal. They're a bit different from physical injuries. You can't apply medicine for one thing and sometimes, they never heal. There's only one cure for a wound of the heart. It's a bit bothersome and you can only receive it from someone else. What is it? Love.

Love is... care and devotion you feel for the precious ones around you.

A wound of a heart is different from a flesh wound. Unlike a flesh wound, there are no ointments to heal it, and there are times when they never heal.

The things that are most important aren't written in books. You have to learn them by experiencing them yourself.

Every one of us must do what's in their power! If we're going to die anyway, then it's better to die fighting than to do nothing!

It's always like this. The only things I can ever do for Naruto are the little things anyone could do...

Billboard brow!!!

Oh, I'm sorry. Her head's so empty, so I mistook her for a vase and put flowers in her. You might want to spit that out quick, though. Those can be quite poisonous.

I believe you have the potential to bloom into something even more beautiful than the cosmos.

The more you want something, the harder it is to wait for it.

Mm, she's strong and scary. I bet she's single.

[about the inefficacy of his attack against Tsunade] Did it not penetrate deep enough because of her fat breasts?

If you don't share someone's pain. You can never understand them.

War brings death. And wounds and pain to both sides. There's nothing harder to accept, than the deaths of those you love. So you believe they could never die. Especially those who haven't known war.

It's too late to regret. Reality is just cruelly moving forward.

Not one wish ever gets granted in this world.

True beauty lies in things that last forever, never rotting or fading.

What's the point of something that disappears as soon as it's born?

Trying to improve by learning from others that is what calls friendship.

When captured birds grow wiser, they try to open the cage with their beaks. They don't give up, because they want to fly again.

Grown-ups are idiots. If they really want to bring an end to this endless fighting, they need to sit down with one another and reach a truce.

Never give up without even trying. Do what you can, no matter how small the effect it may have!

You can steal the very last bite of my very best food. You can mock me all you want. But if you insult my best friend, I will obliterate you.

What's your wish? Peace? Money? Or the world? Whatever you wish for, it's something you have to get with your own strength!

It's because I've experienced pain in the past, that I can even consider what would be best for the future!

Legends from the distant past are always exaggerated, but eventually, someone outdoes them... that's when new legends are born!

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

People become stronger because they have things they cannot forget. That's what you call growth.

Emotion leads one to hate... and hate leads one to conflict and war.

I don't know which is more pathetic; the fool, or those who follow him.

His soul was as pure as snow.

The weaker you are the louder you bark.

Time's a-wastin' people, let's go!
