"Naruto... please save my little brother."

"*about Ino* What a drag... I say a single thing against Sasuke, and I have to get that evil look from her eyes."

— Nara Shikamaru · Naruto

"I've always considered myself to be a true ninja...but those were just empty words, because Sasuke and Naruto were always in the lead! But now it's my turn to take the lead, and all of you can watch me from the background!"

— Sakura Haruno · Naruto

"Father, is a person's destiny a thing like a cloud flowing with an inescapable flow? Or can a person choose the flow he wishes... I still don't know the answer to this. Either way the destination may be the same in the end. However by choosing to live like the latter, a person can live and strive towards a goal. And in this match I have finally understood those who have that are truly strong. Father, I have but one goal, I want to become stronger... Enough not to lose to anyone... That's how I feel. Father, the birds are flying freely today... They look so happy."

— Neji Hyuuga · Naruto

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

— Kisame Hoshigaki · Naruto

"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!"

— Hatake Kakashi · Naruto

"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."

— Hatake Kakashi · Naruto
