#Hope

“No matter what happens, don't be sorry you were born. Even though nobody praises us, don't forget to smile in any situation. As long as you're alive there will be better things later...and there will be many.”

“I'll be happy as long as I have Otani's love.”

“If happiness had a form, what would it look like? It might be something like glass, because one doesn't notice it normally. However, it is actually there. As proof, if you look at it from a different angle, the glass will reflect light. It will state it's presence and existence more eloquently than any other thing in this world.”

“I shall gamble on the geass known as people wishes. For the sake of the world's future.”

“We shouldn't worry about being able to achieve our dreams, as long as we have the desire to do it!”

“Everyone is expecting help from you, but you come here and don't think about doing anything to help those people?”

“Right now, Sasuke is in the darkness. The only one who can save him is you, 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.”

“Because Naruto... you saved me from the darkness.”

“The next generation will always surpass the previous one. It's one of the never-ending cycles in life.”

“There's no meaning to a flower unless it blooms.”

“Naruto's here because he's made up his mind. My resolve is nothing compared to his now! I'm supposed to be a ninja, but all I've ever done is lean on him and cry... I was supposed to change that... I came here and I thought I was ready. But I can't do anything... I can't say anything. The only thing that remains for me...is to believe in them!”

“A smile is the easiest way out of a difficult situation.”

“My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen. I hate the three minutes you have to wait while the water boils. And my dream is to one day become a Hokage. Then everyone will have to respect me at last.”

“*to Naruto* Even I can tell that hatred is spreading. I wanted to do something about it...but I don't know what. I believe... that someday the day will come when people truly understand one another!! If I can't find the answer, it will be up to you to do it!!”

“Naruto... please save my little brother.”
