Never Underestimate me, I don’t quit, I never run!

After Naruto finds out that he might fail the Chunin exams and stay Genin longer, this is his reaction. Funnily enough, he does fail his Chunin exam and stays a Genin for majority of his Shinobi career, before he is inaugurated as a Hokage.

This line gives the audience three important lessons, firstly do not give up, no matter how hard the situation ahead looks. Secondly, just because you don’t give up, doesn’t mean you will not fail and lastly, just because you failed does not mean, you won’t make it. It’s the mindset that’s important, not the success.
