"I decided I wished to be like you as wel…" — Kabuto Yakushi Quote

"When there is a true desire in the heart and that desire is strong... That is when he finds real strength that even he did not know he had!"

— Orochimaru · Naruto

"I'll admit that you're stronger than before. But because of that, you seem to have lost sight of what's truly important. Now listen carefully. The people of the village, who once abhorred you, have begun to admire you. They think of you as a comrade. It's because you fought hard for their acceptance. You once said it was everyone who cares about you who helped you get where you are now. If you forget others because you have power, and become arrogant and egotistical, you'll eventually become just like Madara. No matter how powerful you become, do not try to shoulder everything alone. Becoming the Hokage doesn't mean people will acknowledge you. But when the people acknowledge you, you can become Hokage. Never forget your friends!"

— Itachi Uchiha · Naruto

"You're gonna fight Sasuke alone? And you think all of us are just gonna stand here and let you?!"

— Tenten · Naruto

"I want to show I can be a splendid ninja as well even if I don't have ninjutsu or genjutsu... I want to prove it to the whole world!"

"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."

— Kiba Inuzuka · Naruto

"I wasn't cast aside. It was my choice, and mine alone."

— Anko Mitarashi · Naruto
