Quotes 

• Naruto Uzumaki : After everything you've done, don't you dare talk about peace and justice!

  Pain : Then tell me what your goal is?

  Naruto Uzumaki : I'm gonna kill you! And bring peace back to the Ninja World!

  Pain : I see... That is noble of you. That is justice indeed. However... my family, my friends, my village... they suffered the same fate as this village by you Hidden Leaf Ninjas. How is it fair to only allow you people to preach about peace and justice?

  Naruto Uzumaki : What are you talking about?

  Pain : The Land of Fire and the Hidden Leaf had grown too big. To protect its national interests, it forced feudal clans to wage war against each other, and profited from it. Otherwise, the nation and the people of the villages would have starved. However, our little nation and its villages became the battlefields for the Great Nation's war. And each time, our nation was ravaged and laid to waste. After all the fighting subsided, things stabilized in the Great Nation. And our little nation was left to suffer the pain and misery.

  [Naruto looks down] 

  Pain : You and I seek the same thing. We are trying to establish the peace that Jiraiya Sensei so desired. You and I are not different at all. We each act according to our own sense of justice. The justice I delivered to the Leaf Village is no different from what you are trying to do to me. The pain of losing something dear to you is the same. And both of us know that pain all too well. You have your justice... and I have mine.

  Pain : We are both ordinary men, driven to seek vengeance under the banner of justice. However, if there is justice in vengeance, then justice will only breed more vengeance. And trigger a cycle of hatred. We are living in the middle of such a phenomenon right now. We know what the past has been and we can predict what the future will be. That is history as we know it. So we cannot help but believe that human beings are incapable of understanding each other.

  [Flashbacks of conflicts are shown] 

  Pain : The world of the ninja is ruled by hatred.

• Pain : How would you confront this hatred, in order to create peace? I want to hear your answer.

  [Naruto keeps thinking] 

  Naruto Uzumaki : I don't have an answer... to something like that.

  [Pain looks to Naruto, then looks at the horizon] 

  Pain : I formed the Akatsuki in order to stop this cycle of hatred. I can put an end to it. For that... I need the power of your Nine-Tails. I will use the power of every Tailed Beast to create a Tailed Beast Weapon, many times more potent than the power that destroyed this village. A power enough to wipe out an entire nation instantly.

  Naruto Uzumaki : [surprised]  A Tailed Beast Weapon?

  Pain : The world will know real pain. The fear instilled by that pain would prevent wars. And the world will be on the road to stability and peace.

  Naruto Uzumaki : But that kind of peace... it's nothing but a fake!

  Pain : Humans are not the most intelligent of creatures. This is the only way that peace can be achieved. And after several decades, that pain too will eventually fade with time. It will no longer be a deterrent and humanity will begin to battle once more. This time, they themselves will use the Tailed Beast Weapon against one another and reconfirm what true pain is.

  [Nagato is shown, with Konan watching over him] 

  Nagato : And then peace will be restored again, for a time. In the course of this endless cycle of hatred... pain will give rise to momentary peace. That is my dream.

  [Pain starts coughing] 

  Konan : [worried]  Nagato... Try not to push yourself. You've already spent so much chakra.

  [Nagato stops coughing and opens his rinnegan] 

  Nagato : Peace is right within our grasp.
