History Heartwarming / Naruto

* Chapter 526 - Seeing Neji, the former ArrogantKungFuGuy, fighting BackToBackBadAsses style with his YamatoNadeshiko cousin that he used to hate, Hinata, would have been awesome enough as a sign of how far they've come since the beginning of the manga. What made it CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, for this troper anyway, was Neji in particular calling them comrades and talking about how this is just about protecting each other because of that, rather the family's rule of Branch House protecting Main. Awww!
** It wasn't Neji who said that; Hiashi did. Neji was with Hinata in another place fighting off the White Zetsus.

-->[[spoiler:'''Naruto''': If the main charcter were to change, it would be a different story. It would become something other than the book our teacher left behind. '''And the main charcter wouldn't be Naruto!''' I can't write novels like master... so... any sequel has to come come from life I live... which is why no matter how much it hurts... I gotta keep walking... '''Because that's who Naruto is!''']]

* Chapter 528 - We get to see the most stone-cold BadAss A, the Fourth Goddamn Raikage, tell his subordinate Darui this gem worthy of any AFatherToHisMen type. For someone we thought a JerkAss when we first saw him, it's impressive:
--> ''Darui: I'm so sorry boss... I was supposed to be guarding you and you lost your left arm -''
--> ''A: There's no reason for you to be upset. I have no regrets about my left arm. Because I still have '''both''' my right arms.''
--> ''Darui: Both?''
--> ''A: Yes. This one... (points at Darui) '''and you'''.''
--> ''Darui: (smiles) So can we include C and make it three arms?''
--> ''A: Why not? You can never have too many right arms.''

** It wasn't Neji who said that; Hiashi did. Neji was with Hinata in another place fighting off the White Zetsus.

* Chapter 521: [[spoiler: when the resurrected Zabuza and Haku clash with kakashi and sakura, the first thing the pair do is ask how naruto is doing, when they find they comment apreciatively on how he's grown as a ninja before begging kakashi to kill them.]]

* One of the first ones, between Zabuza and Haku. Haku has just died to protect Zabuza, and he tried to CUT THROUGH HAKU'S BODY to reach Kakashi. Gato, the one who hired Zabuza, shows up with a bunch of thugs and delcares their deal off. He sees Haku(who broke his arm) lying dead on the ground, and KICKS HIM IN THE FACE. Naruto gets pissed off, asking Zabuza if he cared. Zabuza replies that Haku was just his tool. Cue long speech from Naruto, telling Zabuza, "HE WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR YOU! ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS TO BE USEFUL AND ACCEPTED BY YOU! HE DIED SO YOUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE! HOW CAN YOU NOT CARE!?". Zabuza replies, "Silence. ... You talk too much." He looks up and we see that he is ''[[ManlyTears crying]]''. "Your words cut deep, deeper than any blade." He goes on to mention how shinobi are supposed to be able to kill their emotions, and how he seems to have failed. He asks Naruto for a kunai, which he catches WITH HIS MOUTH, as both of his arms were paralyzed by Kakashi, and dashes STRAIGHT THROUGH GATO'S CRONIES, taking multiple stab wounds, until hitting Gato with the kunai, and being stabbed multiple more times. Gato screams, seeing Zabuza for the "demon" he is, and tells him, "i.. if you want to join the boy so badly, then go! But don't take me with you!". "No... I won't be able to follow Haku where he's going. You and I, we're going to hell. 'The Demon of the Hidden Mist', I oughta fit right in. You, however, will be devoured." and RIPS GATO'S HEAD OFF WITH THE KUNAI. The other cronies turn tail and run once the entire villiage, led by Inari. Zabuza's last request to Kakashi is to be put by Haku's side. It starts snowing, and Zabuza silently asks, "Is it you, Haku? Are you weeping? You were always at my side. The least I can do is to be beside you at the end. I know I cannot be, but I wish I could go to where you have gone...How I wish I could join you there...Haku..." and dies while brushing Haku's face, and we see a bit of snow fall on Haku's face and melting, looking like one last tear drop. Naruto has tears pouring down his face, and mentions that, where Haku is from, "it was always snowing." Kakashi then replies, "Of course, his spirit was as pure as the snow. You never know, Zabuza. Maybe you will join him there; who's to say?" This troper cries everytime he sees this scene, and teared up while writing this.

* The opening "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi9vSyvLcMA&feature=related Diver]]" from Naruto Shippuden shows Naruto falling into and sinking in the ocean like something out of KingdomHearts as the Akatsuki stand leering at him in a FieldofBlades. Sasuke appears above him and attacks him with a Chidori as Naruto struggles and the scene is consumed by angry red... [[spoiler: until Sakura's hand touches his back and the red changes to cool blue. Then Kakashi's hand joins hers, then Sai's and Yamato's, and then Shikamaru's, Ino's, Ten Ten's, Hinata's, Lee's, Gai's, Iruka's and Neji's join theirs to push Naruto out of the ocean and into the air. Naruto flips in midair and stares down at the whirlpool he came out of and sees Sasuke sinking at the bottom like Naruto was. Tying his headband on, Naruto dives back down to save his friend.]] While some anime {{TitleSequence}}s can be hard to figure out the symbolism in this one was plain as day and awesome as ''hell''.

* [[spoiler:Speaking of Jiraiya this troper always finds Jiraiya death issue a lovely combination of CrowningMomentofHeartwarming and Tearjerker. The reason, we get to see Naruto's parents in the flesh and together for the first time (well we saw the Fourth the Gaiden but still...). They Jiraiya a pat on the back when we find out both how Naruto got his name and why he loves Ramen. But nicest bit it when Jiraiya says that both of them would have been proud to see their kid as he is today (it also ties in with the book scene above).]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Jiraiya:''' Naruto you really did turn out like the character in the book just like your parents Minato and Kushina wanted..]]

If I could.... I'd like to go... to the same place.... as you..." and dies while brushing Haku's face, and we see a bit of snow fall on Haku's face and melting, looking like one last tear drop. Naruto has tears pouring down his face, and mentions that, where Haku is from, "it was always snowing." Kakashi then replies, "I see. A boy as pure as the white snow. Zabuza, I... believe you will be able to join him." This troper cries everytime he sees this scene, and teared up while writing this.

-->'''Gatou:''' Do you intend to go to the same place as him [Haku]?\\
'''Zabuza:''' No, I don't. I intend on taking you to hell with me!

* I don't know about any of you guys but this troper literally shed tears when [[spoiler: Sasuke remembered that on the night of the massacre he saw Itachi crying.]] [[http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a183/inuyashas_kagome/itachicriescut.jpg/ may contain spoilers]]

* [[http://www.mangastream.com/read/naruto/485-64/6 Chapter 485]] had a scene where [[spoiler: Sasuke told Naruto to shut up after the latter told him he understood the reason behind his actions. In response, ''Sakura'' gets pissed and defends Naruto with "No matter what horrible things we've heard about you, Sasuke-kun, Naruto's always thought of you as a friend! He still does..."]] It's heartwarming for this troper especially when you consider Part I where Sakura would put Naruto down and speak highly of Sasuke. It just goes to show how positively her character has developed.

-->'''Chouji''': But even more than that... Not just for stealing my most gorgeous gourment food... or calling me a fatass... Most importantly, I won't forgive anyone that... INSULTS MY BEST FRIEND!

* The ''exact'' moment of [[spoiler: Naruto's birth]], specially due to [[spoiler: Minato ("I... I finally am a father") and Kushina ("I finall get to see you, Naruto!") crying TenderTears at the sight of their baby]]. Too bad ItGotWorse almost immediately afterwards.

---> [[spoiler: Kushina: ''Minato... did you hear that?! Our love reached him!'' "Naruto... Thank you for making me your mother. Thank you for making Minato your father. Thank you... thank you!"]]

** Not to mention the part where Kushina [[spoiler: starts to cry when Naruto says he's glad he's their son, and as she's fading away she hugs him and thanks him for letting her be his mom and again for being her son]] and...and...* sob*

** Even better in the anime where we get to see flashbacks as she is deciding to save him and as she confesses her feelings. She is actually somewhat effective, it also lampshades Can'tCatchUp - as despite the differences in her and Naruto's power she is the only one who stands beside him, stating that she wanted to stand side by side with him.
