“The most important talent for a shinobi is not the numberof jutsu. The important thing is... HAVING THE GUTS TO NEVER GIVE UP.”

“Kabuto: It's always easier said than done. I just said that this jutsu had no weaknesses or risk...Itachi: Every jutsu has its weakness. This jutsu's weakness and risk is...the existence of me!”

“That's my Shinobi Way”

“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... an incarnation of sand was implanted inside of me...”

“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 died had hopes 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.”

“Give up trying to make me give up”

“I think of you as a friend. I used to think "friend" was just another word... Nothing more, nothing less. But when I met you, I realized what was important was the word's meaning.”
