"*about Ino* What a drag... I say a singl…" — Nara Shikamaru Quote

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

"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."

— Yashamaru · Naruto

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

— Jiraiya · Naruto

"*to Naruto* You? Hokage? You can't even beat me! No-one's deluded enough to think that you have what it takes to become the next Hokage, not even you! Tell you what, though... I'll become Hokage in your place!"

— Kiba Inuzuka · Naruto

"My master entrusted me with a lot, from big things to little things. It's the same for you an unlimited number of things, don't you think it's about time for us, to be the ones who entrust not the entrusted, it's a pain in the ass but I can't say that. Someday you'll be the one to treat others to ramen and you'll be called Master Naruto... We can't stay kids forever, like Asuma and Jiraiya, I wanna be as cool as them."

— Nara Shikamaru · Naruto

"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."

— Kimimaro · Naruto
