“The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.” - Bruce Lee One day, a small opening appeared on a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then, it seems to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further. So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shrivelled wings. The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life...

Gai Sensei (to Tobi): Don't forget we have a Sharingan between us too and the noble green beast of Konoha. Kakashi Sensei (to Naruto): I can't be sitting around while one of my team 7 students is overdoing it out here. Gai Sensei: That's my Kakashi, sharp as always! Eight Tails: We tailed beasts have our own emotions, you know Naruto. Watching one of our own treated like that naturally pisses us off. Kyuubi: Keh! Now you start sympathizing? The shinobi have always treated us as pets. Eight-tails, you and that Bee kid are the only exception. Kyuubi (to Eight-tails): Shut your mouth. If we were to go by tails, you are supposed to be the second strongest after me, aren't you? Hurry up and finish them off. I am going to sleep. Kakashi Sensei: What are you mumbling about Naruto? The enemies are upon us. Don't relax just because I am here. Kyuubi: I am not like you eight-tails. I won't wag my tails to a Jinchuuriki as easily as yo...

Shikamaru: A man with the nine-tails sealed inside of him known as a Jinchuuriki. But ever since he was a kid, he's had a dream of becoming a Hokage and now he's still that same stupid Naruto. Kyuubi: Naruto this time I will lend you my power. I will give you my chakra and it alone. I dislike Madara. If the alternative is being controlled by him, I choose you. Oonoki (before fighting with Madara): The time to pick myself up off the ground is finally here and there is no opponent more worthy. Oonoki (to Madara): We shinobi spend our entire lives in battle. Fighting only for our own countries, our own villages, neverempathizing with others, only taking for ourselves. If we rob, and are robbed in turn . . . If we are robbed from, we take back in revenge. Oonoki (to Madara): I have lived a lot longer than you and I have learned a more too. It's because I understand the suffering of the past that I can think of a better way to create our future. O...

Gaara's dad: The only thing a parent needs to do is trust in his children. That's all and that in itself has true value. Yasamaru (Gaara's Uncle to Gaara): When your body gets hurt, blood comes from wound and that can make it look painful but after sometime passes, the pain fades away on it's own and if you use medicine, it heals even faster. The problem is with wounds in your heart, there's nothing that can fix those. They can stay with you your whole life and never heal. R Itachi (to Naruto): You have subjugated the nine-tails? I never thought that you would advance so far. R Itachi (to Naruto): I am counting on you to take care of Sasuke. Kabuto: I underestimated him, Uchiha Itachi . . . he's clearly on another level to the others, not even the edo tensei can hold him. Itachi (to Naruto): The ultimate genjutsu of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, 'Koto Amatsukami'. Itachi: Shisui's eyes create a most powerf...

Uchiha Itachi (to Uzumaki Naruto): "You don't become Hokage in order to be acknowledge by the village; the one who is acknowledged by everyone in the village becomes the Hokage"

Mifune: Katans that stay sharp become meiyou and will untimately last and remain. Mifune: People who continue to put their lives on the line to defend their faith become heroes and will continue to exist on in legend! Hanzou the Salamander: People's life don't end when they die, it ends when they lose their faith! Shikamaru (to choji): We are not kids who need adults to protect us anymore, we are protectors! Do you wanna sit and watch while R Asuma kills his own child? Naruto: Explain why I should sit on my ass and hide while my friends and comrades are out there suffering and dying? Naruto (to Iruka Sensei): I will end this war myself. I will endure all the hate and pain on my own, that's my role! Iruka Sensei (to Naruto): I think you are one of my most precious student and you are like a brother to me. Naruto: I am not a kid anymore, I am stronger than I have ever been. You are the one who gave me that forhead protector, Iruka Sensei. ...

Naruto (to Kushina): Mom, I promise I will eat more than ramen from now on, I will work on vegetables. I love hopping in a hot bath, so no worries there and I get plenty of sleep, probably too much. As for friends, I have got plenty and they are all wonderful people, I just wish you could have met them although one in particular has been giving me a lot of grief lately. As for school, you were right on that one. It never got me down though. It wasn't always smooth sailing with the teachers and students in the academy, but I really respect all of them. Jiraiya Sensei taught me all about the three vices of shinobi, he is just like you remember him but still, he was a great man. He taught me how to live as a true shinobi should, I am Uzumaki Naruto, ninja of the hidden leaf. My dream is to become a Hokage, one to surpass all the previous Hokage. Kisame (to Naruto): Apparently you can detect hatred and other negative emotions now. Not even the most sharp and sma...

Sasuke (to Kakashi Sensei): The sharingan is the symbol of the Uchiha. A lowlife outsider like you has no right to go around showing that eye off. Itachi (to Naruto): You want to bring Sasuke home but what will you do if he refuses to come? I am asking you what you would do if your 'brother' attacked the leaf? Sasuke (to Naruto): In case you forgot, I am ex team 7. Sasuke: By killing every last one of you until the leaf is crushed forever any link to the Uchiha will be served and our name will be purified. That is how I will revive my clan. Naruto (thinking): It's funny Sasuke, you and I could have easily been standing in each other's shoes right now. Naruto (to Sasuke {While Chidori and Rasengan connected}): You know why everyone hated me when I was a kid? It was because i had the nine tails inside of me. I hated all of them too. I wanted to get revenge on them. One misstep and I might have been thinking the same horrible things as you. ...

Danjo: With Katsuyu's techniques, Tasunade will be able to prevent total annihilation but there will still be some causalities. Those are a necessary sacrifice for us in order for me to become Hokage. Kakashi: With my current chakra level, his (Choji) whole body is out of question and if I use it again, that will be the last of my stamina and my chakra and without a doubt I will die. But right now I have to entrust the living with this info, that's the best thing I can do right now to save Konoha. Kakashi (in his final breath): Well, it looks like this is for me Obito, Rin. Obito, looks like this is as long as I will be able to be your eyes. I wasn't able to protect Rin, I broke my promise to you, forgive me. Obito, Rin, Master, I will be there soon. Naruto (to Pa Toad): The code on your back is a message from Ero-Sennin to me. It's a code but also a message he left for me personally telling me never to give up, no matter what. Naruto: I am...

Tobi: Itachi is dead. Nothing stands in my way now. The leaf village is no longer “off limits”. Sasuke: I don't want Itachi's eyes. The end result Itachi wanted to see is the exact opposite of what my eyes are about to witness. I can't grant his wishes, I am going to resurrect the Uchiha my own way. Kisame: When you strike at the top, they shield themselves with the bottom. Naruto (to Iruka Sensei): I wanted to keep Jiraiya watching me. I wanted him to be here when I became Hokage, to have him see me do more than just screw up! Iruka Sensei (to Naruto): Jiraiya Sama had nothing but praise for you. He would brag constantly about you, about how you were practically his grandson. How you were a man who had inherited his spirit. He never doubted for a minute that you would grow up to be a wonderful Hokage. Iruka Sensei (to Naruto): Jiraiya Sama will always be watching over you. I am sure he is looking down on you now, whenever he is. But if you ju...
