All popular anime series usualy gain a lot of flame for being too "stupid", " simplistic" or "mainstream", but to me the when referring to the Naruto series, this accusations are largely unfounded.
It's true that this series started with themes about friendship and bounds (typical Shounen stuff) but after a while it took a leap of faith when it starter to dwell on themes like the reality of a world rules by lies and deceit, self identity and purpose and the cycle of hatred.
My personal favorite speech of this series (and favorite scène in general) is the one givem to Naruto by Pain:

Followed by Itachi and Kisame's conversation:

The while atmosphere of both this speeches (music, pacing) together with the themes being argued that completely defines the characters it's what make me still love this series and keep them close to hearth.
And how about you? What were the mostra inspiring/tought provoking/awesome speeches on the Naruto series to you?

When Hiruzen was trapped in Bringer of Darkness while defending against the Hokages attacks, his speech to Orochimaru on what it means to be Hokage, The Will of Fire and how everyone in Konoha is his family.

The final speech of Sasuke in chapter 699. Beats anything else by far.

In terms of "speeches", aside from the ones you mentioned, I think this will always be my favorite, even if it's quite short.



Also, I can't remember if it was in the manga, but during the anime, Iruka delivers a very powerful recap of Naruto's journey up until he defeated Pain, and ends it by saying "Sandaime, Yondaime, I'm looking at a hero right now". That is one of my favorites, too.

Actually, come to think of it, Iruka's speech to Mizuki in the very first chapter is pretty moving, too.

Gaara's speech towards the alliance and Sasuke's speech throughout the 699th chapter are up there as well.

Oh yeah, these too. Hard to focus here at work.

Edit: aw man, stupid phone, I meant to also quote Hiruzen's family speech.

Yes, yes! Favorite parte 1 speech!
Hiruzen shows what being a kage means, not just flashy moves or overwhelming power, it's to think of the village as your family and give yourself to it.

I think my favorite speech was Sasuke's monologue at the end. That was legit and a good way to finish his character's growth.
