“I've always considered myself to be a true ninja...but those were just empty words, because Sasuke and Naruto were always in the lead! But now it's my turn to take the lead, and all of you can watch me from the background!”
“*making excuses for being late, as usual* Hello students, today I got lost on the road of life.”
“*talking to Sasuke* On that day, you taught me that solitude is painful! I understand that so well right now. I have family, and I have friends but if you're gone... To me... It will be the same as being alone.”
“If you want to kill me, despise me, hate me, and live in an unsightly way... Run, and cling to life, and then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me.”
“People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts... Their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?”
“In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum, that's true, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.”
“*making excuses for being late, as usual* A cute girl stopped me on the way, so I danced.”
“*talking to Yamato* Same as always... I can only do the dumbest of things for Naruto...”
“*Talking to Naruto* Just shut up for once! What the hell do you know about it?! It's not like you ever had a family in the first place! You were on your own right from the beginning, what makes you think you know anything about it?! Huh?! I'm suffering now because I had those ties, how on earth could you possibly understand, what it feels like to lose all that?!”
“Well, how about this. My "luck" versus this thing's "curse". Wanna see what's stronger..? If I lose, then I'm just that much of a man anyways...”
“I won't run away anymore... I won't go back on my word... That is my ninja way!”
“Fine! Go see for yourself, Straw Hat... What a real nightmare is... In the New World!”
“People don't fear god, fear itslef is god.”
“The pain of being alone...is not an easy one to bear. Why is it...that I can understand your pain? But...I already have many people who are important to me now...and I can't let you hurt any of them. Even if I have to kill you!”
