“*to Neji* I was a failure when I was your age, but now I can even beat Kakashi, the elite genius. It's only a matter of time until Lee finally surpasses you!”
“That's it, Lee! Run...run towards the setting sun!... But don't mess up your hair!”
“*to Orochimaru* But why? How could you do this!? I don't get it, I've looked up to you more than anyone in the world!”
“*about Sasuke* I don't care what the heck he is! If he stays, he's a danger to everyone! Don't you see!? As he gets stronger, so does the Curse Mark! That thing is feeding off his chakra! It's a Forbidden Jutsu that devours the one who bears it! It's incredible the kid's still standing. By now, he...should be dead.”
“*to Orochimaru* This is no time to reminisce, you're an S-class criminal, top of the most wanted list. You've got to be taken down, and it's only fitting that I'm the one to do it. 'Cause after all, you're the one that taught me everything, right, Sensei?”
“Gahh! Kakashi! You make me so mad! Why do you have to act so cool?!”
“*to Naruto* Tough guys like you usually leave their blood all over this forest.”
“You have the gift of perseverance, and that's what makes you a genius too!”
“I finally understand... I'm alone. I won't believe in anyone, or love anyone. I'm alone.”
