- Kakashi: [On Haku and Zabuza, seeing through Haku's tracker ninja disguise] They look pretty chummy to me. I'd say they've been pulling scams like that for a long time.
- Sakura: He's got some nerve facing us again after a trick like that!
- Kakashi: And hiding behind a mask. Who does he think he's fooling?
- Sakura: Speak for yourself, Sensei!
- Sasuke: That's it. I'm taking him out.
- Sakura: Huh?
- Sasuke: Who does he think he's fooling, hiding behind that mask like some sort of clown?
- Sakura: Sasuke! You're so cool!
- Kakashi: [Thinking] Wait a sec, didn't I just say that? She'll never change...
- Gato: I-if you're in such a hurry...to be reunited with your little friend...go alone!
- Zabuza: I... have no intention...of going to the same place...as Haku..
- Gato: Wh-what are you babbling about? Ugh..!
- Zabuza: Heh..I'm taking you with me..to HELL!! Even an ogre in name only...a washout from Kirigakure village...can become a real demon in how he meets his death. Once we're in Hell, I can take my time, and show you over...and over...who is, or is not, a "baby demon"!
- Kakashi: Ninja are not supposed to seek their reason to exist. It's important that they exist as a tool. That idea exists in Konoha, too.
- Naruto: Does becoming a real ninja really mean that? I... kind of... don't like that.
- Sasuke: [To Kakashi] Do you think so, too?
- Kakashi: Well, no. That's why ninja unconsciously suffer from that idea. Like Zabuza and that boy.
Chunin Exam Arc
[English Dubbed version; Episode 23]
[Naruto has just called out the other Chunin Exam applicants to his classmates' dismay.]
- Kiba: Uh...could ya say that a little bit louder? I couldn't quite catch that.
- Shikamaru: You moron! Are you trying to get everyone in here to hate our guts or what?
[Naruto chuckles; Sakura puts him in a strangle hold]
- Sakura: NARUTO, YOU JACKASS!!!!! Why'd you always say something like that? YOU OBNOXIOUS, LITTLE...!
- Zaku: I thought for sure that would work. Do you think she saw the paper bomb we put on the squirrel?
- Dosu: No, that wasn't it.
- Zaku: Than what was it, what are you thinking?
- Dosu: I'm thinking we need to go closer and find out, so let's get going.
- Ino as Kin: I don't understand you guys, what kind of monster would attack their own teammate?
- Zaku: I guess, monsters like us.
- Dosu: You see, we don't play this game by your rules, it's not the scrolls we're after or even passing this test.
- Ino as Kin: What then?
- Dosu: Sasuke!
- Zaku: Did you really think you could beat us? Face it, you ninja are a bunch of hacks!
- Dosu: From a second rate village.
- Neji: Then I guess your village is third rate.
[English dubbed version. Episode 43]
(Shikamaru has just hit Kin with his Shadow Possession Jutsu, forcing her to replicate his movements)
- Kin:So we mirror each other's movements, so what? A cute trick, but what do you gain by it?
- Shikamaru: Man you're annoying. Shut up and watch.
(The two of them take out Shuriken. Shikamaru grins ominously)
- Kin: You must be insane! If you throw that shuriken at me, you'll just be attacking yourself!
- Shikamaru: Makes it kind of interesting, doesn't it?
- Kin: You wouldn't! You couldn't!
- Shikamaru: Yeah? Like a game of chicken, let's see who ducks first!
- Kin: You're crazy!
(They throw their shuriken at each other. At the last moment, Shikamaru leans backwards, out of the shuriken's path)
- Kin: Big deal! I'll do that too! (leans back, causing her head to crash into the wall behind her, knocking her out)
- Shikamaru: And that's what I call using your head!
- [Kurenai takes Hinata's pulse]
- Kurenai: [thinks] Oh, no. She's going into cardiac arrest. [glares at Neji] Was he really trying to kill her?
- Neji: [smugly] I really wouldn't waste your time glaring at me when you really should be taking care of her.
- Kankuro: You're an interesting guy, I like you.
- Naruto: You're not interesting, I don't like you.
- Kankuro: [Thinking] This brat....is toast!
- Jiraiya: Stop saying that! I am not a little pervert!
- Naruto: Oh, yeah? Then what are you?!
- Jiraiya: [Lets out a huge laugh] ...I'm a big one!
- Might Guy: Its formal jutsu name is Chidori, and its secrets lie in the almost impossible speed of its stroke and the immense chakra focused in the arm that transforms it into a blade that can cut through anything. But... how could you have taught him such a reckless move...?
- Kakashi: Like you really have the right to criticize me... [Turns to Rock Lee] Right, Lee?
Invasion and Tsunade Arcs
Episode 80 - Third, Farewell Forever...
- Naruto: It's almost... unbearable, isn't it? The feeling... of being all alone...
- Gaara: (Gasps at the sincerity in his voice)
- Naruto: I've been there... In that same dark and lonely place... But I've found others... others who accept me for who I am... That's why I will protect them... even if I have to kill you.
- Gaara: But why?... Why would you do this... for anyone but yourself?
- Naruto: Because... they saved me from myself... They're my friends. They are precious to me...
[Overlooking the Leaf Village after Orochimaru's failed invasion]
- Kisame: Looks like the Leaf Village managed to survive, but just barely.
- Itachi: ...Not long ago, this village was at the peak of its glory. Look at it now...
- Kisame: [scoffs] You sound almost sad. Don't tell me you still have feelings for your old home?
- Itachi: No... None.
- Kakashi: You're after what lies within Naruto. It's the Nine Tails, right? You're moving, but you're not the only ones who know. The organization was called... Akatsuki, was it not?
- Asuma: Akatsuki?
- Itachi: Kisame, get rid of Kakashi. These people need to disappear.
Episode 81-Return of the Morning Mist (needs confirmation)
- Kisame: Well, who have we here?
- Might Guy: The Leaf Village's fiercest beast of battle, I'm Might Guy!
- Kisame: You're Might Guy, huh? Mighty stupid looking Guy!
[English dubbed version. Episode 108]
- Kakashi: Let it go. You've gotta forget about revenge.
- Sasuke: [Shocked] What?
- Kakashi: Believe me. In this work, I've met a lot of guys who feel the way you do. Trust me. For those who follow the path of revenge, it never ends well.. You'll only tear yourself apart. And even if you succeed and you get your revenge, what will you have then? Nothing. Emptiness.
- Sasuke: Shut up! What makes you think you know anything about it?! It's easy for you to talk. You have NO idea!
- Kakashi: Just try to calm down.
- Sasuke: [Angry] Maybe if I was to kill the most important people in YOUR life, everyone who's ever meant anything. Maybe THEN I'd listen to you because maybe THEN you'll have some idea how I feel!
- Kakashi: Hmm. It's an interesting theory. But I'm afraid you're a little late to put it to the test. [Smiles softly] Everyone you're talking about has already been killed.
- Sasuke: [Eyes widen in shock]
- Kakashi: I've been around longer than you have, kid. And I've seen my share of troubles. You're not the only one who knows what it's like to lose somebody... So, it looks like neither of us has led a charmed life, exactly, have we? Still, we're not all that bad off. At least you and I have been lucky enough to find new comrades to help fill the void.
- Sakura: If you leave, I'll scream!
- [Sasuke appears behind Sakura]
- Sasuke: Sakura... thank you.
- [Sasuke knocks her out]
Sasuke Retrieval Arc
[English Dubbed Uncut Episode 112]
[Just found Sound Five]
- Naruto: Alright! I can finally bring back Sasuke!
- Kiba: Hold on a sec. I wanna show 'em my moves first!
- Chouji: Me too!
- Shikamaru: Wait a minute. First we make a plan...then we nail those bastards.
- Naruto: I'll crush you!
- Kimimaro: You shouldn't make promises you can't keep.
- Naruto: Shut up!
[Temari comes to assist Shikamaru]
- Tayuya: Who are you?
- Temari: Konoha's allies....
[Kankuro has come to assist Kiba]
- Kankuro: The shinobi...
[Gaara has come to aid Lee]
- Gaara: Of the sand!
- Temari: We owe you a favor now, don't we?
- Shikamaru: No, we just repaid you a favor, that's all. We'll do an even better job if something like this ever happens again.
- Temari: Well, I'll acknowledge that you did so-so this time.
- Shikamaru: There you go again! This is why I hate women!
- Temari: [having just indirectly killed Tayuya] Well, it's over....
- Shikamaru: What a violent person. She's even scarier than my mom.
- Kimimaro: Without sand, you can't do anything.
- Gaara: As long as I have sand, I can do everything.
Episode 127 - Vengeful Strike! The Bracken Dance!
- After barely winning against Kimimaro
- Gaara: It was sheer luck... I should have been killed.
- Rock Lee: No, it was not meant to be. My Sensei has often said to me: "A good ninja makes his own luck."
- Gaara: ...That meddlesome mother hen...
- Rock Lee: (offended) Guy-Sensei is nothing of the sort! Yes, he stepped in, but only that once, and only because I was not strong enough. I am very grateful to you for having saved my life, but I warn you, I will not abide of anyone speaking ill of my Sensei.
- Gaara: So you're another one, eh?
- Rock Lee: Huh?
- Gaara: You have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that every hurt inflicted on them is inflicted on you as well. And the closer they are to you, the greater the pain.
- Kimimaro: (memory) --I will live on. I am not alone. A part of me will live on in Lord Orochimaru's heart forever. --He is the one, the only one who gave my life meaning!! How could YOU ever understand that?!?
- Gaara: To feel so strongly for someone you would fight for them...and die for them. You and Naruto Uzumaki have that in common. However, what if this person you honor and would even die for is not a virtuous person?
- Rock Lee: Impossible! Such a person would be unworthy of honor or respect.
- Gaara: No...perhaps the companionship of an evil person...is preferable to loneliness...
[English dubbed version; Episode 130]
- Sasuke: Is that really all you've got? Come on! After all that big talk...that's it?! That was your Way of the Shinobi?!
- Naruto: Hmph!
- Sasuke: [Sees Naruto coming out behind a tree] Hmph! You still think we're on the same team don't you? If you're not convinced yet...[Charges at Naruto] I'll just have to spell it out for you! [Lands a punch at Naruto]
- Naruto: [Takes the punch, and moves away from Sasuke]
- Sasuke: [Moves toward Naruto] What are you waiting for?! [Land punches as Naruto defends and dodges] I want to see what the Number One Hyperactive Knucklehead Ninja has got!
Other Episodes
[English dubbed version. Episode 144, Flashback]
- Hiruzen: It's hard to believe it's been a year already. Your instructors tell me you're among the most playful of their students, always full of fun. You're very brave. It's hard to hide sadness behind laughter.
- Iruka: [As a child] What makes you think I'm sad about anything?! It's a noble thing to die in the line of duty, right? My parents gave their lives to protect this place from the fox demon. I'm the son of heroes. How can I be sad when they died that way?! I'm not even sad because they went and left me all alone..if I cry, it's 'cause I'm proud.
- Hiruzen: It's all right, Iruka. I know that somewhere inside of you, there's a boy curled up in a ball of pain. But remember this, you are not alone. Inside every ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village burns the Will of Fire.
- Iruka: The Will of Fire?
- Hiruzen: It's what gives us the strength to defend our village. It's the unbreakable bond that ties us all together. It's what makes us a family. I wonder, do you have it yet, young as you are?
[English dubbed version; Episode 176]
- Kiba: Okay, those guys need to be stopped. Naruto and I can handle that. Meanwhile, you head back at your own pace. Be careful. Your leg is still injured so don't push it.
- Hinata: [Nods] I won't overdo it.
- Naruto: Here's the plan. Head home at your own pace but be careful. That leg is still hurt, you know.
- Kiba: Didn't I just tell her that? Were you paying attention?!
- Naruto: What's that? I zoned out.
- Hinata: [Blushes] Thanks, Naruto.
- Kiba: [Grunts] Come on, idea boy. [Pulls Naruto by his collar]
Other Dialogue
[Naruto, with beads of sweat pouring down his face, nervously turns his head.]
- Naruto: [weakly]: It was an accident!! I swear!
- Sakura: [shaking with fury] Naruto.... [Cracks her knuckles] YOU MAKE ME SICK!
- Naruto: [whispering] Why are you...?
[Soon after, Naruto is seen with smoke rising from his hair, a bruised and swollen face, and scratches all over his body.]
- Naruto: You know, I always thought of you as...
- Hinata: [thinking] What? What?
- Naruto: A dark, timid and weird person. [Hinata slumps her shoulders in disappointment] But you know, I like people like you... ["people like you" echoes in Hinata's mind]
- Fugaku: Stop it, Itachi! What in the world is the matter with you?! Itachi, you've been strange lately.
- Itachi: There's nothing strange about me... I have my own duties to fulfill. That's all.
- Fugaku: Then why didn't you come last night?
- Itachi: To achieve the next state....
- Fugaku: What are you saying?
- [Itachi draws a kunai, throwing it at a wall with an Uchiha crest]
- Itachi: I've had enough.... There's no hope for this pathetic clan.
[Kimimaro and the Sound Four are staring each other down after Orochimaru gives Kimimaro the Earth Seal.]
- Kimimaro: Which do you choose? To die... or to obey?
- Sakon: Obey... is what you will do!
[They all jump down at Kimimaro, but are easily defeated. Jirobou and Kidomaru collapse.]
- Kimimaro: This is all you can do, four against one? I will ask once more. Which do you choose?
[Tayuya and Sakon look at each other and then bow down.]
- Kimimaro: Very good. From now on, we're the Sound Five.
- Sakura: Hey Sasuke, when we get back do you want to do something with me?
- Sasuke: Uh, I don't think so.
- Sakura: Oh....
- Naruto: Hey Sakura, I'll do something with you.
- Sakura: Hey you, that was a private conversation!
- Sakura: What's wrong?
- Naruto: Well, Kurenai-sensei is leaving Team 8, so I'm going to talk to Grandma Tsunade about it.
- Sakura: I don't think it would do any good. Probably—
- Naruto: It'll be fine! I know where she hides her sake! If I reveal that to Shizune..
- Naruto: Hey, Sasuke! what do you call a Nine-tailed fox with half a brain?
- Sasuke: Ha ha ha! Beats me, Naruto. What?
(both laugh')'
- Shino: We need to have a good, leisurely talk for a change. This is also part of teamwork. I would like to hear what your mission was like.
- Kiba: Well, it sure was something! Though you wouldn't understand it even if I explained it to you. [thinks] I won't let Akamaru go through that ever again. For that, I need to polish my techniques more, and...
- Shino: No, I would like to hear about it properly. Because that's what teamwork is all about.
- Kiba: Are you sulking because you were left out? [Shino stops walking but says nothing] So you are.
- Naruto: There are no bad people among ramen lovers!
- Choji: No. That is incorrect, Naruto.
- Shikamaru: Tell it the way it is, Choji.
- Choji: There are no bad people who like Ichiraku Ramen!
- Ino:: So that old man Gennou wasn't a bad guy?
- Choji: Didn't I say in the very beginning, "Anyone who enjoys eating Ichiraku Ramen can't be a bad guy"?
- Ino:: Huh? Didn't that guy actually hate ramen?
- Choji: Ichiraku ramen is different.
- Shikamaru: It's impossible to eat something you hate very day.
- Choji: Exactly!
[Naruto finishes his ramen and sees Gennou's reflection in the remaining soup]
- Naruto: It's kinda hard to eat myself. Oh, it's yummy! Hinata, you'll definitely be a good wife someday!
- Hinata(thinking): A wife...
- Naruto(Talking about Hinata): I never knew Hinata was this incredible...
- Rock Lee: She's very similar to you...
- Sakura: Oh yeah...she was always watching you.
- Naruto: Huh?
- Sakura: They're insane.
- Naruto: Probably.
- Baki: Gaara, where are you going?
- Gaara: To remind myself I'm alive.
- Jirobo: Man, it's no wonder you never had a boyfriend. You're such a-
- Tayuya: Shut it, fatso.
- Shikamaru: [Whispers] Hey! Dad.
- Shikaku: What is it?
- Shikamaru: What on earth made you want to marry such a crabby woman like mom?
- Shikaku: [Ponders for a moment] That's a good question. Even a crab like your mom can be gentle sometimes. She has her moments.
- Shikamaru: [Slightly frustrated] That's the reason?
- Naruto: (Spots Hinata and Sakura) There she is. Hey, Hinata!
- Sakura: What is it?
- Hinata: What's going on?
- Naruto: Hinata, you're the one I want.
- (Hinata and Sakura gasp not realizing that he is just asking for her help and not asking her out on a date)
- Sakura: What the heck is wrong with you? You idiot, saying stuff like that right now!
- Hinata: I never knew. I don't know what to say.
- Naruto: I need you, Hinata.
- Hinata: Oh Naruto, I never knew you could be so impetuous.
- Naruto: (Gets frustrated and sees Neji) Never mind, I'll ask Neji. See ya!
- Hinata: Huh?!
- (Fake Naruto runs into Sakura while she's carrying books)
- Sakura: (Upset) Something maybe you'd like to say?! Like... Oh, I don't know, "sorry"?!
- Fake Naruto: (Laughs) Ha, ha, ha, ha... Check it out! You're so clumsy you landed right on your butt! (Taunts) What's the matter? Can't walk and carry books at the same time? Some ninja you are, you big klutz! (Runs off)
- Sakura: (Stands up angrily) By the time I'm done with you, Naruto, you won't have a butt... (Yelling) 'cause I'm gonna kick it all over the village!
- Naruto: Sakura! Get out of the way!
- Sakura: (Glares from behind her) Naruto! Shut up!!! (Punches Naruto in the chin, sending him soaring)
- Naruto: (Slurred) What was that for?
- Sakura: (Clueless) Wait a minute... If Naruto ran off in that direction... (points to her left) ...how did he come by the other way so quickly? (Points to her right)
