• “To have a precious someone to protect will you become truly strong. The real strength of a shinobi appears when he protects something important. A person is able to become truly strong when they wish to protect someone they cherish.” ?Uzumaki Naruto

You can observe that Naruto is really selfless the way he prioritizes others before himself. What makes him strong is his compassion to take care and protect his friends and family. He pushes beyond his limits to protect someone from harm.  

• “In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum, that’s true, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.” ?Hatake Kakashi

This is the scene where Team 7 (Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke) were trained by Kakashi in the woods. Their mission was to get two small bells from Kakashi and fight anything that comes in their way. Since there were only two bells, there were only two people who can get the reward of having a sumptuous lunch. Sakura and Sasuke got the reward while Naruto got tied up in a log post. Even though they were reprimanded to not share their food to Naruto, they still gave him food nonetheless. Kakashi caught them in the act, but instead of failing them in their mission, he said that the whole thing was not a test to get the bell, rather, it was a test if they were willing to break the rules in order to save their friend.

• “A smile is the best way to get away with trouble even if it’s a fake one.” ?Yamanaka Sai

In Sai’s first appearance in the anime, he constantly smiles in whatever situation he finds himself in. It is as if he knows no other emotions just to smile and be happy. Sometimes, in real life, smiling is the only way we can respond to never-ending problems.

• “If you don’t like the hand that fate’s dealt you, fight for a new one.” ?Uzumaki Naruto

You decide your own fate. If you do not like what you are and what you have right now, you can always choose another road to take and become a better version of yourself.

• “I won’t run away anymore… I won’t go back on my word… that is my ninja way.” ?Uzumaki Naruto

Naruto is at his best when facing a stronger enemy; never giving up a never running away. He always strives to train hard and win every battle.

• “When people get hurt, they learn to hate. When people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. But knowing that, pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow. And how you grow is up to you.” ?Jiraiya

Being broken and having nothing else to hold on to makes us realize that we need to be compassionate to other people. They may also face the same hardships as you are facing right now. But as also mentioned in the quote, trials make us more mature and better equipped to deal with bigger problems in the future.

• “Regardless of our limitations, we can always be of some use. Our power may seem insignificant but it may just prove to be useful in the grand scheme of things. Stay focused. Never avert your eyes, because if an opening arises, even our insignificant power may be enough to determine the fate of the world. Which is why everyone must stay alert and ready to strike at any moment!” ?Nara Shikamaru

We must not underestimate ourselves and what we can do, for no matter how small we think of our capabilities, we will ultimately make a significant impact to the world we live in and become a weapon of change to help those who are oppressed and persecuted.

13 Best Naruto Inspirational Quotes (continuation)

• “Grow up. Death comes with being a shinobi. There are times when death is hard to accept, but if you don’t get over it, there’s no future.” ?Tsunade

Everyone will die—it is a fact. We mourn and grieve, but we must tell our hearts to accept that fate and move on to face the future. If we constantly dwell on the things that upset us, we will end up in gloom, cultivating the darkness that is within us which will result in our own self-destruction.

• “Knowing what it feels to be in pain is exactly why we try to be kind to others.” ?Jiraiya

Sometimes, we need to experience pain in order to understand the situation of others. We need to put ourselves in their shoes and encounter the same pain that they have been through so we may understand how they feel and treat them with more compassion and kindnesss.

• “Rejection is a part of any man’s life. If you can’t accept and move past rejection or at least use it as writing material, you’re not a real man.” ?Jiraiya

We may be rejected and insulted but know that these are part of life’s challenges in which we must face on a regular basis. It builds up character and makes us stronger and more receptive to upcoming hurdles and challenges.

• “So like an actor in a tragic play you gonna cry all day, an idiot like you should keep on crying.” ?Uzumaki Naruto to Inari

In the series, Inari was a crybaby who did nothing but cry when facing a tough situation. Naruto reprimanded him that crying cannot change the current situation or make the situation better. He also told him that there is no good in constantly crying. Yes, you can cry but eventually you need to get back up and keep fighting.

• “Laziness is the mother of all bad habits, but ultimately she is a mother and we should respect her.” ?Nara Shikamaru

Shikamaru is lazy by nature but his supreme intellect constantly allows him to prevail in combat. His goal is to live insignificantly, free of anything remarkably good or bad, and then die just unnoticed. The lesson here is not to live life recklessly and not making any positive impact at all, but not to take problems seriously and live with a more optimistic and care-free attitude. This will help you focus better to achieve your long-term goals.

• “When one person dies… he disappears… Along with his past, current lifestyle, and his future. Many people die in missions and wars. They die easily and in surprisingly simple ways. Hayate was one of them. Those who die have goals and dreams. But everyone has something as important as those. Parents, siblings, friends, lovers… People who are important to you. They trust and help each other. The bond between the people important to you ever since birth… And the string that binds them becomes thicker and stronger as time goes by. It’s beyond reason. Those bound to you by that string will do that. Because it’s important.” ?Umino Iruka

No need for further explanation. Iruka-sensei says it all. Family and friends are thicker than blood.
