Learn all about the best Naruto opening sequences!
Orochimaru
Orochimaru says this in one of the flashbacks.
It comes off casual, but this single line signified the start of Orochimaru’s spiral.
This quote holds real weight after you witness Orochimaru’s life and the way he envisioned things.
If shown without context, the quote can seem motivational and even wholesome.
However, it holds a darker meaning in context with Orochimaru’s story.
It’s a brilliant way to present a memorable quote that can have multiple interpretations.
9"Becoming Hokage Doesn’t Mean People Will Acknowledge You.
But When The People Acknowledge You, you’ve got the option to Become Hokage."
Naruto had always wanted to become Hokage, simply because of his desire for acknowledgment.
Itachi makes him realize the opposite is true.
Of course, this is a quick reality check for us viewers as well.
The impact of this quote in the story was also much bigger than some might imagine.
Obito Uchiha
This might be the most iconic quote from Naruto.
The theme of ninjas being emotionless tools has been recurring since the very first arc of the show.
This quote encapsulates that theme and denies it completely.
The line originally came from Kakashi, which was later revealed to be the words of Obito.
This single line greatlyshaped the character of Kakashi, and by extension, the character of Naruto.
7"You Talk Too Much…
Your Words Cut Deep, Deeper Than Any Blade."
Zabuza Momochi
We all remember this Zabuza quote from the first arc of Naruto.
It’s the line that got most viewers hooked on the show, making it all that more memorable.
These words followed by Zabuza’s tears prove that strong ninjas are also humans with emotions.
But more than that, it’s emotional.
This quote is so iconic that you might’ve heard it even if you haven’t watched Naruto.
6"Those Who Do Not Understand True Pain, Can Never Understand True Peace."
Pain
Pain is one of the most iconic villains in anime history.
Pain failed because the plan required him to throw away his humanity and even sacrifice lives.
Regardless of his failure,Pain’s philosophystill holds up in the world of Naruto.
It also helped shape Naruto’s entire character after the Pain arc.
This quote from pain embodies his entire philosophy, making it one of the best quotes in Naruto.
5"I Never Go Back on My Word!
Thats My Nindo, My Ninja Way!"
This quote heavily affects those around Naruto as well, especially Hinata.
She eventually embraces this way of life as her own.
This quote coming from Obito also holds greater meaning, considering how cheerful and lovely Obito used to be.
It almost feels deliberately ironic.
3"I’m Always Going To Be There For You.
Even If It’s Only As An Obstacle For You To Overcome.
Even If You Do Hate Me.
That’s What Big Brothers Are For."
Another incredibly inspiring and eye-opening quote from Itachi.
This means Kishimoto foreshadowed Itachi’s entire character through this single quote.
That ambiguity makes this quote that much more memorable because you’re constantly questioning it until the reveal.
2"Youre Right, Hard Work Means Nothing…
However, these words are especially uplifting because Guy says them to Lee at his lowest point.
He also follows it up by calling Lee a genius of hard work.
Naturally, Guy’s words will motivate you to work harder to achieve your goals as well.
The most memorable quotes are the ones that affect you, along with the characters in the show.
Without a doubt, this quote fits both of those criteria.
1"Give Up…On Trying To Make Me Give Up!"
Naruto Uzumaki And Jiraiya
There could not be a more perfect quote that fits Naruto’s character.
Naruto has been repeating his unwillingness to give up from the start.
It also feels greatly rewarding, making it one of the most iconic quotes.
