3 Amazing Quotes from Naruto that fans will never forget
As an anime that made our childhoods meaningful and taught us the importance of love as well as the insanity of hate, Naruto is an anime that’ll never be forgotten.
It is filled with numerous meaningful sayings. There are quotes that inspire, quotes that demand reflection, quotes that force you to change your perspective, and quotes that just genuinely hit hard. This is why Naruto has always been such a fresh and yet equally nostalgic anime.
And in this post, we are going to talk about the 3 amazing quotes from Naruto that fans will never forget, as well as what makes them so fascinating.
Well then, let’s talk about them.
1 - Friends always come first
“Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum."
In a Ninja oriented series like Naruto, rules are everything.
It doesn’t matter if someone is in danger, or you run the risk of dropping dead yourself, when you are assigned a mission, your top priority is always to complete that mission even if its at the cost of your or someone else’s life.
However, Obito taught Kakashi something even more important, it isn’t about priority or what takes precedence over the other… if you abandon your friends, you may complete the mission, but you are as good a scum as anyone can be.
2 - The Cycle of Hate
"We both want the same thing. We both want the peace Jiraiya spoke of.
You and I are no different. We’re both working for our own justice.
The justice I have meted out against Konoha is exactly the same as what you’re trying to mete out against me.
Everyone feels the pain of loss the same. We both know that pain.
You are working for your justice, and I for mine. We are just ordinary people driven to revenge in the name of justice. But if revenge is called justice, then that justice breeds yet more revenge. And becomes a chain of hatred.
Living within it, aware of the past, predicting the future. That is what it means to know history. We cannot help but know that people cannot understand each other.
The world of ninjas is ruled by hatred."
Naruto lost his mentor because of Pain, he even resented him because of that, but when they both came face to face, Naruto was backed into a corner, and it was finally time to talk.
Naruto just couldn’t call him out anymore, nor could he criticize him.
Pain’s view of hate was based on actual raw experience, and his understanding of the world was far more complex than Naruto’s.
Pain knew that, “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.”
And for that reason, he continued on, with the plan to capture Kurama and end everyone’s suffering, because that’s how he thought he could end the cycle of hate. But before long, Naruto found a way to talk things out just and Pain didn’t have to fight anymore.
3 - The Speech that brought the Shinobi Alliance Together
"Three times now... We've fought world wars for our own nations, our own villages.
We've hurt one another. We've hated one another. That hatred bred a lust for power, and that lust for power created ME.
I was a Jinchuuriki, the embodiment of hatred and power. And I hated this world, and all the people in it... I wanted to destroy it with my own hands. The exact same thing Akatsuki is trying to do today.
But one man, one ninja from Konoha stopped me. I was his enemy, yet he wept for me! I hurt him, yet he called me his friend! He saved me!
My enemy, my fellow Jinchuuriki... He suffered the same pain as me, yet bore no ill will!
There are no enemies here because we've all suffered at Akatsuki's hand! SO THERE IS NO SAND, NO STONE, NO LEAF, NO MIST, NO CLOUD! THERE ARE ONLY SHINOBI!
And if you still hold a grudge against the Sand, then when this war is over, come and take my head instead! Our enemies are after the friend who saved my life! If they take him, if we hand him over, our world is finished!
I want to protect him, and I want to protect our world! But I'm too young to protect it all on my own!
All of you lend me your aid!"
This was a history defining moment, for the very first time in forever, all of the Ninjas from all the Ninja villages gathered together to fight for a common cause. However, it is insanely difficult to cooperate with one another when you have been enemies throughout your whole life.
This is where Gaara came in; a 16 year old Kazekage, who once hated the world and everything in it.
He talks… he talks about history, about hate, about the lust for power, but he then also talks about how he was saved, how one ninja managed to bring him out of that constant state of hate and denial.
Gaara was saved, and now he wants to protect that friend, so that they can all save the world.
This one speech filled with honestly and genuine sincerity made all the difference, suddenly, the alliance had a strong foundation, they knew their goal, and they knew they are not enemies anymore.
For the first time in forever, the Ninjas from all over the world were inspired to reach and grab a common goal. The lingering hate between the villages was no longer a hindrance because everyone knew, they are all in this together.
And that alone makes this such a fan favorite moment.
