“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.”
“The curse represents a mark of the bird in a cage... It is... the symbol of being tied down to an inescapable destiny.”

“WHAT?! Why wasn't he affected by my sexiness?!”
“SHIKAMARU! Beat her up with a 16 HIT COMBO!”
“There's no meaning to a flower unless it blooms.”
“A soul needs a purpose to live...and so I concluded that my purpose was to kill everyone besides myself. I felt alive...”
“I fight for my sake only and live to love no one but myself.”
“*young Gaara attempts to slash his wrist* It's no use, the sand gets in the way.”
“The concept of hope is nothing more than giving up. A word that holds no true meaning.”
“The Uchiha is a clan destined for revenge...”
“*to Minato, about his reason for attacking Konoha* Oh, you know...it's fun, it's part of my plan...to start a war...to bring peace...”
“It will be a new world... A world of truth, not lies.”
“When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.”
“*to Sasuke* No matter how far Orochimaru fell, he still loved him... Now I know how the Third Hokage felt.”
